Email from Amazon: “Please tell us about your experience”, the “Not at all likely” option, which when tapped, does absolutely nothing, was a nice touch 👌🏻

First train of the day is busy, there’s actually another person in the carriage. Looking forward to a couple of days of #Umbraco things when I finally reach Manchester

People say AI is the future, well it looks like it lives there, our future is AI's past. I was just about to prepare any downloads for Friday's Umbraco 17 developer day so I Googled for info, and the AI overview is talking about it as if it has already happened, in two days time... #umbraco #ai

@openvibe.social have added an RSS feed viewer into the app, so now i can get all my @umbraco.umbracocommunity.social.ap.brid.gy goodness from Mastodon, Bluesky and @umb.fyi in one place! #h5yr

Honoured to be part of the first #umbraco MVP summit. A really fantastic event with many opportunities to share knowledge and learn. Thanks to everyone involved at HQ for organising it

Looks great Paul, fabulous use of Chat GPT! Could I ask which restaurant? If it’s near your office it will also be near mine 😁

Thanks @umbraco for fixing the invisible modal bug for Safari in v15.3.0. I’d keep forgetting and then have to switch to Chrome part way through working in the back office. My normal workflow in 15 has been restored, thanks!

You get a great service from @umbhost.net and @aaronsadler.dev really knows infrastructure and hosting…

Been a great couple of days at Umbraco Spark and the Package Jam before. Had to head off early as trains tomorrow will be a nightmare. See you all at the next one. #umbracospark

Lots of renewals penalise repeat business with a higher rate than new contracts. I have never understood that, it always used to be the reverse, to reward repeat business

Sadly, the reader has to become the sanity checker, with anything AI generated. There are no checks and balances.

The more content that is published unchecked the more low quality data AI will index and feed back into its models. Will we just end up with a sort of fact to fiction entropy?

Ouch, that sounds frustrating

So I’ve updated my Bluesky account to use my mttblss.uk domain, moved mastodon server to the #umbraco community one and linked my blog for authentication, if everyone is reading this post then I might have Openvibe all configured correctly too…

Changing camera lens in zero gravity on the International Space Station | Science, Climate & Tech News | Sky News In orbit, there is no need to find a clean, flat surface to change a lens - all the components simply float in front of you.

This is so cool! As a photographer their have been so many times I’ve been doing the lens change juggling act clamping a lens between my arm and body. As a wanna be astronaut, I’m just a little envious of the whole thing. #photography #space #nasa. https://news.sky.com/story/flatplan-13292245
