Love all things tech. Software dev (TweeseCake/SndUp/ETC), smart home, ETC. If its shiny and has buttons, then lets go.
Trump Mobile? Uh, okay then. I mean, Orange was already used I guess...
It's the last time, but lets do this! I've got all your dance tunes for your Saturday night on the Pick 'N' Mix show. Come along and turn it up from 8PM UK! I'll spin the wheels, you bring the drinks.

so yesterday, yet again, I got refused an Uber because of my guide dog. I phoned Uber support to report my access refusal and the customer service agent actually told me I should have ordered an Uber pet after I told them multiple times my dog is a registered service animal. So its not just the drivers now, its customer service too. I did finally get through to someone who knew the law to start the correct procedures, but the situation is just getting worse.

Signal have rolled out an update to all users that stops Microsoft Recall from capturing Signal conversations.

I’ve tested this and it works. Brilliant work by the @signalapp team. 💪

They call on Microsoft to build better, as there was no standardised way as an app developer to do this. Because Signal is open source, now app developers have a template to protect their users from Windows.

By Default, Signal Doesn't Recall

Signal Desktop now includes support for a new “Screen security” setting that is designed to help prevent your own computer from capturing screenshots of your Signal chats on Windows. This setting is automatically enabled by default in Signal Desktop on Windows 11. If you’re wondering why we’re on...

Hi Cakers,
We are looking for people to join an early alpha group for the TweeseCake rewrite. Your feedback on our progress so far would be super appreciated.
Please Note: This is very early days and will be nowhere near the completed product. We are specifically seeking feedback on the current state of the Mastodon and Feeds services using the GUI (visible interface) only at this stage.
If you are interested in providing feedback on these specific features in their current, incomplete form, please complete the following form and we will put a group together in a couple of weeks:

TweeseCake Alpha application

Thank you for your interest in becoming a tester for TweeseCake! We’re looking for users who can test features, report bugs, and help us refine the user experience. The most commonly selected contact platform will be used for team chat. For Mastodon users: If you're not on tweesecake.social, please ensure your instance permits API testing; we don’t want to accidentally hammer another instance’s API!

I do feel for people who have fears of animals and such, but I did get rather startled today in a shop when another customer screamed about my guide dog and exclaimed they shouldn't be in shops as they left because I was there.

Why add comments to your code?

The more comments you put in your code, the more likely it is that your computer will understand your emotional state. 😊

I'm retired in the sense that I was tired yesterday and am tired again today.
