The ongoing digitisation of the world and every service we use will bring us to our knees. I say that as someone who has worked in technology for 30 years and has seen various iterations of so called digital transformation. Business continuity and resilience are essential, but...

It’s fair to be frustrated right now, I’m stuck myself as a regular Revolut user, but this isn’t primarily their problem. it’s a Google Cloud issue that has affected several other banks and delivery services.

Rev cards being declined in Soain desoite money in accounts. Also errors attempting to add money to account or view details on cards via app. Is there an issue @Revolut ??

Hace 16 años, un hombre se encontraba solo en una colina cubierta de hierba durante un festival de música en el estado de Washington, Estados Unidos, y comenzó a bailar solo. La gente lo miró y luego desvió la vista. Algunos se rieron. Su compañero de habitación se acercó y le advirtió que lo estaban filmando. No se detuvo. Entonces un desconocido se levantó y se unió a él. Luego otro. Entonces la ladera se inclinó. En cuestión de minutos, cientos de personas corrían desde el otro lado del campo para ser parte de algo que, treinta segundos antes, había sido un hombre del que se reían en un campo. Alguien que filmaba desde lo alto de la colina dijo en voz baja: "Mira lo que un hombre solo puede llegar a hacer. Solo un hombre puede cambiar el mundo". El vídeo se viralizó en internet en 2009. El emprendedor Derek Sivers lo proyectó en una conferencia TED para explicar cómo empiezan realmente los movimientos sociales. No con la primera persona lo suficientemente valiente como para iniciarlos, argumentó, sino con la primera persona dispuesta a unirse a ellos. Collin Wynter, el hombre que bailaba solo, dijo después que no tenía ni idea de que hubiera hecho algo especial. Simplemente estaba cansado de ver a todo el mundo sentado sin moverse.

Anyone else remember a load of balls being reported at the time that the gigs sold out in record time??! – at Dublin City, Ireland
The Weeknd is playing in Dublin (quite fittingly) this weekend – but there are still thousands of unsold tickets for both of his Croke Park gigs. jrnl.ie/7134406

That was the river... This is the sea – at Dublin City, Ireland
For anyone feeling bad about A-levels? I failed my GCSEs, got pregnant at 15, left school & was homeless. I cleaned toilets for years. I'm a university professor now. Im an international best selling author. I'm happy Your results in school don't measure your full potential.

One of the best stand up shows I’ve seen in a long time . 🎭 #tomstade #standup @TomStadeComic #winchester @TRwinchester

At what point will the American people and government realise enough is enough? To quote William Blake... "You never know what is enough until you know what is more than enough." It has been more than enough for some time now

Seriously... how did we arrive in a world where the inventor of Fast Food totally fucked it up by turning into Argos and using a system that randomly mixes and loses numbers and it takes a ridiculous amount of time to get food now?! Where is 85... two so called Happy Meals?

Ah @OfficialHuey you made my mate Patch a very happy man at the meet and greet last night before the @whelanslive show. He has been so excited about this and i know meeting you has him set up for the year ahead. I hope he didn't go too fanboy on you and blurt out any mad shite?!

Back in 2023 I was excited to see @LankumDublin at @ATNfestival so my daughter drew me a picture before that weekend. Today we got to chat to the lads at the Flea Market in Phibsboro and buy some amazing merch 😍

If they really want Irish households to do anything they just need to tell us there's a snow storm coming and the shelves will be emptied in no time! Irish households advised to stockpile 72 hours of supplies amid rising global tensions | Dublin Live share.google/XKVGuuGfw6ZZJ9A…
