@cwebber @347Online She saw me!

I wish YouTube links posted here would make their mind up if they want to show previews or not.

Looks like Shura's releasing her new album only on Bandcamp.
The problem I have with Bandcamp is that when using Firefox and NVDA, you can't press the play button next to tracks. Hitting enter does nothing.
Luckily iOS plays ball and I just listened to the first track released from it - Recognise. Sounds pretty good. Like something off her first album Nothing's Real.
Here's the page for the album "I Got Too Sad For My Friends" coming out in May.

Any other harmonica players on here? Or to be more specific, people like me learning to play it?

The north of England has some great place names, like Oswaldtwistle (pronounced ozwel twizzel).

One of the suggestions Facebook comes up with when wishing someone a happy birthday is "Hbd" for some reason.

And that's my twitter account diactivated.

If I ask Siri to convert 5 foot 8 inches to meters, it always thinks I said 5.67. Is it just Siri being daft or is there a mathematical reason for it?

Websites, if you valued my privacy you wouldn't be sharing my data with your 14 centillion partners would you.

According to the Facebook iOS app with VoiceOver, <brand> wants to show me this add because Detail page, Detail page and Detail page.
There was me thinking it was because of page detail.

wtf Imogen Heap's new song "Noise" is just a load of random trippy noises. I suppose it does what it says on the tin.

Why do YouTube Shorts people have to shout and scream so much? It's always in a ridiculously echoey room with tons of compression as well.

Bit rich of us to name a competition Miss Universe when we're most likely not the only planet in the universe with life on it.
When we make first contact there will be a lot of explaining to do.

Woke up from a weird but pleasant dream that @hag posted about a sign saying that someone was doing elephant rides in Manchester somewhere, so I went to try it.
The elephant let me sit on her back while the bloke who was her handler was on something attached to her side, and we just rode around talking about random stuff.
It was quite a weird elephant because it was covered in fine fur that felt like cat fur. Apparently she grew this fur when it snowed earlier on in the year.

Really handy that you can set the tick boxes for important push notification settings in the Klarna iOS app to either "switch" or "switch".
I'm glad I'm finding this out now when I haven't bought anything through it and not when I'm wondering why it hasn't notified me of upcoming payments for the last few months.

I think I finally understand why people like iOS widgets. I've just made a new home screen with some on and it's handy to have info there rather than digging through an app. I'm not sure about the Smart Stack though. How can that know what I want to see better than I do?

It gave up and emailed me to say there aren't any available.
I used to prefer using chat sessions when dealing with companies before LLMs.

I'm currently waiting for the support AI chatbot to connect me to a human. I could be some time.

Companies will hound me sometimes daily about filling out surveys but when I want to contact them myself it's a bloody pain in the arse.

Has YouTube sacked their accessibility team?
