IT'S 2022. WHY IS THERE AN UPPER LIMIT ON MY PASSWORD FOR INTERNET BANKING! @NatWest_Help Seriously... The password should be hashed, so original length should be irrelevant, having a minmum makes sense, having a maximum length of 20 chars, makes no sense!

Woke up to a Birthday Message from @RobertPicardo this morning... Which was just awesome. Thanks Doctor, and @Em_Fellows for arranging it v.cameo.com/e/9qdcRHw5emb

2 things @VisionExpress ... Why is it more expensive to get lenses put into frames, made by you, 2 years ago, than buying new frames? Why can I not get my no claim return, when getting lenses put into frames, again costing more than new frames? Do you hate the planet? 🔥🌍

.@BritishGasHelp Your engineer came round yesterday (for annual service) and left, with our boiler broken, without telling us. Booked repair yesterday and a) soonest repair is 10 days and b) it has disappeared from the list of upcoming visits. Tell me you can do better than this?

Just uninstalled medium app. Fed up of getting notifications about articles that make me angry. If everyone could stop presenting opinion as fact, that'd be great. Specifically, if one more article tells me to use any paradigm exclusively, I may explode. #RightToolForTheJob

I made this happen!!! In that I pressed the buttons to make it go live... Lots of work by lots of people happened before me, but I'm still taking some of the credit. 😆

Look @github and @Bitbucket can you two just get together and agree on if that "get the code" button copies the flipping git command or just the repo location? I'm fed up of getting it wrong, either trying to clone 'git clone' or getting bash to interpret a URL with no command
My 3 year old son just got 'hamster' and 'hipster' mixed up and I don't think I will ever stop laughing everytime I see either in the wild...

For years now I have been able to log in to @steam on my phone and computer, but not the web. O recently raised a support request about it to @steam_support but apparently they can help me without a photo of the CD key from whatever game I installed first... 15 years ago!!! 😂😭

Ignoring everything else about this tweet... Oftenly? Is that a word? How is it different than often? I'm all for language evolution, but is this is going to lead to another flammable/inflammable sitch?

Does my name belong to me? My face? What about my life? My story? Why does my name refer to events I had no hand in? I return to these questions because others continue to profit off my name, face, & story without my consent. Most recently, the film #STILLWATER. / a thread

Seriously Mr Twitter algorithm, you clearly don't know me if you think I give a flying poo about what some people were wearing at Cannes film festival. I cannot fathom what I tweeted or read to lead you to that conclusion... That, sir, was a swing and a miss...

My wife is immunosuppressed. She can’t afford to catch Covid, so please wear a face mask if you meet her. What’s that? You don’t think you would recognise my wife? Oh, then you’d better wear one anyway, just in case. That’s how it works.

Hate is a strong word. But the racist relying on black English footballers to bring them glory as if they were their servants, then turning on them as soon as they fell short of their dreams, have my deepest contempt.

Another pearl of wisdom from me, this time to app makers. I don't think many people are going to fall for your super sneaky attempt to get reviews in app stores, by asking 'do you like our app?'. It is not a surprise that 'yes' links to the review section for your app.
