So Pret baristas will now be earning up to £14.10 an hour.

New NHS doctors - after their 5-year medical degree, whopping £80,000 of student debt, & life & death responsibilities - get paid £14.13 an hour.

And the government wonders why they're striking?

@anndouglas @FloydyStu When I was young I could never understand my parents (and others) saying "you think you are invulnerable" as, from my perspective I really didn't.
Then you reach an age where you understand what they meant, which (I think) was the point at which your own mortality becomes a thing.
A watershed in your view of life

Our monthly BT bill (broadband and mobiles) is increasing by 14.4%, which they state is in line with the 10.5% CPI rate of inflation published in January, plus 3.9%

No reason or justification given, increasing profits presumably

What a time to be alive, with all our new technology. I just paid for a coffee with my watch! Now I don’t have a watch. Not sure I’m doing this right.
If you were a Twitterrific or Tweetbot user, you should download the latest versions of those apps from the App Store and launch them. Here’s why: https://daringfireball.net/2023/03/tweetbot_and_twitterrific_face_the_cliff
Tweetbot and Twitterrific Face the Cliff

There is something noble about two longtime rivals — competitors, yes, but with nothing but deep respect and camaraderie for each other — facing this terrible cliff together, with dignity and grace, considering their users first, as ever.

@RobExmoor As the Brexiteers tell us, "If you don't like it you can leave... oh"

"If you are a subscriber to either Tweetbot or Twitterrific, I beseech you to decline these prorated refunds. It’s a couple of bucks for you, but in the aggregate, this amounts to an existential sum of *already booked revenue* for these two companies, both exemplars of the indie iOS and Mac community.

"Reinstall the app if you’ve already deleted it. Tap that ‘I Don’t Need a Refund’ button and feel good about it. We have a month. Spread the word.”
