Is it a new thing that software vendors are starting to gate-keep their products?
I'm looking at you, neo4j, specifically.
Look, I know it's expensive, I need to know HOW expensive... and you want to "assess that your project is a good fit for Neo4J" (verbatim quote from an account manager).

So is "Bestselling book" the equivalent of a participation trophy?
In the same vein, how about "social media influencer", "SEO expert", "thought leader", "twitter CEO", "visionary entrepreneur", "growth hacker", "thought leader" or "data-driven marketer"?

What a pointless question on BBC News: "What does Trump think of Starmer?"
The answer is: whatever is currently flavour of the month for the cheeto-in-chief... If Starmer said bad, long words to the orange neanderthal with small hands, he's not going to be liked.
Utterly stupid "reporting"

I don't do Christmas. It's one of the most depressing times of the year for me. So I shall be hiding from social media and not peopleing or socialing.
Normal service may return in the new year.

For some unknown reason, I keep getting LinkedIn jobs for "Full Stack Developers".
Every single time I see this, I can't help but mentally translate this into "Dev role in which we will wring every ounce of skill and knowledge for little more than a junior dev salary and a pat on the back"

I love the way Nick Candy uses the words "Wealth Creators"... as if he's magnanimously making everyone rich and sharing all the wealth.
Where in reality, he's probably a penny pinching little lint-puff. The kind of lint that hoovers up all the crap in your pocket, and festers into something smelly.

Can we deport this farcical excuse for a human being? Him and his milkshake gang.
I've known mouldy veg that had more character than this fascist, populistgob-ache.
Are we allowed to legislate against the human equivalent of chewing gum stuck to your trousers? Freeze him and chip him off I say

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage says
“We need to leave the ECHR so we can deport people that come illegally & take back control of our borders & that’s what the public wants”
Share if you disagree with his populist boll**** the UK should join Russia & Belarus outside the ECHR

Dear @thelondoneconomic.bsky.social, I would dearly like to read some of your articles, however... This happens, where I am literally unable to tap the "no", because I'm assuming the GDPR dialog is disabling something.
Mind doing something about it?

Urg... I've no idea what the game is... But those bots where they have a newly created, female, usually buxom and young with, what I assume is seductive pics, high following to follower ratio and very little content of note... Follow you.
Kinda creepy... Certainly unwanted.

Dear content creators,
If you create a video using a script voiced by AI that starts with "Hey there", and start a disingenuous recommendation for a product or some course of action you favour, lemme give you a tip:
You failed and your opinion is totally undermined by your lazyness.
