Still no power from @KenyaPower_Care or response by the way, 2 days later. Iβ€˜ve *977# too but β€žSystem Errorβ€œ.
Replying to @databu
Using *977# works, at least for me. I used it and they were on site within an hour. They called me before visiting.

I DMed @KenyaPower_Care last night about a power cut. No response so far. Reporting in app not working, says to use website. Website has no provision to report cut. Today we’re installing solar. Enough is enough.

Are you at least a little bit ashamed @KRACare for creating such a chaos at JKIA customs? About 1 hour queuing time and still insisting on scanning everyone. And the 2nd machine not in use πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈThe worst β€žwelcomingβ€œ experience in any airport that I know of.

Even more and longer outages than (shamefully) usual seem to be reported to @KenyaPower_Care these days, what’s going on?

The countdown begins. Teams at @NASAKennedy have arrived to their stations at the Launch Control Center. We are about 48 hours from the launch of the Artemis II mission around the Moon. go.nasa.gov/4bHcwzx

Hi @KenyaPower_Care are you at least a little bit ashamed that after all these years, you still haven’t figured out how to protect your equipment against rain?

Why is Spotlight performance degenerating so much as to be mostly unusable since a few years @Apple @AppleSupport ? It seems to be constantly catching up (re)building indexes; often not finishing before a new macOS version comes which then seems to start building again. Useless.

For those who've never seen a comet imaged from Kenyan soil, feast your eyes on this! C/2025 A6 (Lemmon), captured right here in Thogoto by the talented @databu. Over a 30-minute sequence, watch the comet streak across the star field like it owns the sky. The western horizon was washed out by those annoying security lights (the nemesis of every astrophotographer), but @databu still pulled it off using my Olympus E-M5 II on a 65 mm f/6.5 refractor: 60 Γ— 10 s at ISO 1600. He even spotted it visually: just the faint coma in 10Γ—50 binoculars, then more coma and a subtle tail hint in his 10-inch Dob. Kenya’s astrophotography game is leveling up fast and nights like this prove it. The future out here? Absolutely electric. πŸŒ πŸ‡°πŸ‡ͺ @spacesocietyke

yesterday's election was a neon signal to crypto making the bed with fascists is a clear losing, industry killing strategy. if this is what we associate with, the backlash will be extreme, regardless of the technology let us show the world this is a small corrupt minority only
