Finally one I agree with.

With the recent "issues" at HMRC and them taking forever to respond to any request, I would love to see what impact that has had on accountants cashflows.

Poor investment in government services has a very real knock effect to the private sector too.

There's been a lot of talk recently about the name Gary dying out. Think I've worked out the feminine equivalent: Tracey.

Don't hear of many kids named Tracey anymore.

Looking like a good idea to play the #AssMan in #FPL double double week coming up for Arnie Slot.

I built longer.blue a month ago.

It's a tool that lets you post on Bluesky beyond its character limit by linking to a full message.

I never really advertised it properly.

I’d love your support! A repost would help. ❤️

Does anyone have any people they follow in these areas and would recommend me following:
- UK Accountancy
- Accountancy in general
- AI
- Programming
- Other similar areas

I I really want BlueSky to be as much educational as it is entertaining.

Would be interesting to know the rationale for not sending off Brightons Baleba there.

No intent to play the ball and denied a clear goal scoring opportunity, lucky to walk away with a yellow.

French automaker Citroën, sabotaged wartime Nazi truck production by moving the notch on the oil dipstick down. The engines would not have the correct amount of oil and prematurely fail.

#FeatureRequest - description/icon in a users profile if they use the API to instantly follow new people.

I thought social networks were more about the qualify of contacts, not quantity.

I've just had to unfollow someone, solely because they run some code that follows new people as they join, which is clever, apart from when they follow a bot and they get a follow back and then straight through their network to me.

Just cut my finger open on a bread knife. It isn't even a proper knife, great start to 2025.

Product idea #86: Glasses with inbuilt facial recognition software that recognises who you're talking to and also some details about them.

Would really help with my terrible memory.

I predominantly use the 'discover' feed as it isn't full of extreme posts. The issue I have is that it also doesn't pull me to follow a lot of the users I see on there.

Looks like I'm not going to be following 1k people anytime soon.

Just listening to an audiobook on improving memory and it begins with basic ideas of a visual alphabet, anyone any experience of doing this? And more advanced ideas?

More specifically has anyone done this with aphantasia? As I feel this is where it may fall down for me.

Hope you all have a great day!

How much longer until we get bookmarks?

Seen some good posts recently and want to bookmark to come back to and not just lose in my likes.

I often hear that the landscape of the accountancy industry will be different in 5 years, in my opinion that's a massive understatement.
