Dear @urbansportsclub. How is it possible that your app and website (or art they the same) are still so broken? After years! I search for 'tango' in activities for today and I see one class. One! Yet I know of 7 other classes in USC venues not even listed. Wtf? When will U GYST?!

I believed @montypython was not active any more. But here I am, standing corrected. Members of the group, previously retired from the Ministry of Fatuous Flag Affairs, evidently have infiltrated the Oxford City Council: t.ly/bI4Zv

EU flag must be removed from outside former MEP's house, council orders

Catherine Bearder has proudly displayed the flag since Europe Day at her property in Oxford.

Remember Kafka's "The Trial"? Automatic systems get us closer to this all of the time. Booked a @vueling flight to BCN via @PayPal weeks ago. Added a cabin bag (20€) during online check in today with CC. Four minutes later PayPal sends me an email that Vueling has refunded me!

Of course, the original booking was 127€ return. Plus 20€ cabin bag one way. 150€ give or take. @vueling cancelled the booking three hours before departure, so now the same flights cost me 320€ with cabin bag. Add the non-refunded cabin bag from before and I paid 213€ more.

Because an automated system @Vueling's own employees do not grok decided so. Probably it uses craptacular ML of some sort and costs a ton of money. The best part though is that now I'm on the same flight. Apparently I'm not a security risk if I pay almost triple for the pleasure.

To all my VFX followers who use Darktable: consider switching to the fork, Ansel (ansel.photos/). It has a fully scene-referred workflow and santitized (or rather: sane-itized) UI/UX. #darktable #ansel #RAW #photography

I love @Fly_Norwegian. I accidentally booked a way too early return flight from Oslo. Me, realizing the mistake a split second after cofirming the form: swearing. This will cost me! I go to change the booking and my eyes almost popped out: 0.0€ to change to the later flight!

Dear @urbansportsclub please fix your search. It is terrible – again! I can not search for the actual type of sport (tango) and I can not even search for a venue name I know (e.g Tango Libre). I can only find an offer if I search for ‘dance’ and then go through the whole list.

I'm just at one of Berlin's best falafel places, Alin Gaza Kitchen, and wanted to correct their category on @googlemaps. Turns out, the category “Palestinian Restaurant” does not exist. Every other country name I tried coupled w. the term ‘restaurant’ was there. Coincidence?

Croatia switched their currency to Euro on January the 1st 2023. Almost half a year later, on Croatian statehood day no less, @googlemaps is still displaying all prices in Croatian Kuna including "how much did you spend per person?" when adding a review.

Liebe @BVG. Deutschlandticket-Abos bei euch sind, trotz gegenteiliger Beteuerungen eures Personals, immer noch nicht online kündbar. Dafür einen Brief aufzusetzten, bzw. sich in einem eurer unterbesetzten Kundenzentren ’ne Std anzustellen, ist im 21. Jh nicht zeitgemӓß, oder?

If it is public money, it should be public code as well! I support @fsfe's call for more #publiccode: publiccode.eu/en/

Ach ja, jetzt war ich 23min in der @BVG Hotline; mit Fahrstuhlmusik. Dann legte die auf. Kein Kommentar.

Schon wieder hat mich die @BVG Hotline rausgeworfen. Diesmal nach fünf Minuten. „Weil wir dich lieben“ – bestenfalls ein passiv-aggressiver Euphemismus; ehrlicherweise wohl aber eher als Scherz gemeint?

My @bumble profile says I'm in an ENM relationship and my tags that I look for Something Casual. Yet you present me with 80% potential matches (100% of Best Bees!) who are looking for a Relationship. Is that ineptitude of your R&D or intention to get me to pay for your service?

Adding a quote (") to the end of a @Meetup URL makes the website hang forever and never open the meeting page. Happens e.g. when @mozthunderbird message display is forced to 'plain text' and an URL from a Meetup mail is clicked (i.e. Thunderbird bug Meetup problem).
If you believe #stablecoins are stable you may also believe French toast is French.
Dear @bumble, please review your German app translation. "Something casual" does not translate to "Etwas Unverbindliches" ("something non-comittal"). "Etwas Lockeres" oder "Etwas Zwangloses" are translations that capture the meaning appropriately.

I’d love to buy the “Rust for Rustaceans” ebook directly from @nostarch instead of amazon.de. But it's more than 20% cheaper on the latter. I’d like to understand how this is even possible even given how much Amazon pockets for listing a title.
