@RogersHelps Hey folks, your online chat disconnects before connecting to an agent, and your phone system just hangs up on my important call. What gives?

Whelp, end of an era. My VirutalBox VM file system got totally corrupted, so I ended up nuking it and starting over with a WSL2 Ubuntu install.

🎉 It’s finally here! 🎉 I’m thrilled to announce that AppSignal's Guide to Toronto for @Rails World attendees has been published! Back in April, I set out to create a fun, reliable resource to help the Rails community navigate Toronto’s best spots, restaurants, transportation all around, the beautiful @EGBrickWorks , and more. This guide is the first of its kind for Rails developers, featuring the first 3 articles with more to come about the city! So, whether you're here for Rails World or just visiting @cityoftoronto, there’s something exciting for everyone 😁 Big thanks to @roy and the entire @AppSignal team for making this happen! appsignal.com/rails-world

My @rubykaigi talk is out on YouTube! In this talk, I go over the current state of dev tooling, why excessive fragmentation increases the barrier to entry in the Ruby community, why default developer experiences matter and how we can improve. youtube.com/watch?v=qhp04Ewm…

@TSNHelp Hey guys, I am wondering if there are more notification options coming for the app on Android? I want some highlight notifications (particularly tied to my favoured leagues/sports), but I keep getting notifications for leagues I don't care about. 1/2

I would rather turn off all notifications at this point, so more granularity would be great. I only have two options "Breaking News" and "Live Events", which is not enough. At the very least I'd like both of those options to be filtered by the leagues I've marked favourites.
