nooooooo, Mozilla are killing Pocket 😭

support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fut...

I'll be annoyed if I use something from Microsoft or Google instead. Might look for self-hosted... and create substantial Tech Debt for when I move away from a Synology NAS.

@quinnypig.com do you ever think that AWS should set a higher bar for technical docs? eg ensuring "RUM" is defined prominently.

The official training also presumes me the Engineer to intrinsically know the abbreviation... which I don't... seeding deep self-doubt

@quinnypig.com Is there a rule book to explain AWS naming conventions?

like "Customizations for AWS Control Tower (CfCT)" which I can't even.

Would "Customizations for AWS Cloudformation" be CfCfm?

#Lego sets come with printed instructions once more, phew!

App-only instructions was such a gigantic mistake.

Next on my wishlist: Netflix to send DVDs by post again.

Mozilla don't seem to be on here (although mozilla.ai are) to celebrate Thunderbird the e-mail client's 20th bday.

Hellachievement to do FOSS for 20 years. Not being the most reliable app doesn't detract from that. What happened to the old guard like Eudora, that must have died off by now ?!

Tired of cooking chicken? Here's one MASSIVE tip the chicken farmers don't want you to know:

There's a plump and very dead pheasant in a hedge on the B4425 just outside Aldsworth. I hit him at about 60mph and he demolished my door mirror. Hang, pluck, sear him in a pan, then roast at 190C 🍗🍽️

Took the kids to Wembley yesterday to see Taylor Swift. They were livid.
