Are you originally from the United States?

Add them to the list of reminders we’re on America’s Internet™.

I prefer to gently challenge the American supremacy built-in to the question.

One of my least favourite things that Americans do is ask why characters are speaking with a British accent, in a game made by a non-American developer based in a country that does not have English as the first language.

They did it with Wukong and now they’re doing it with STALKER. Why do we let the yanks run the world, again?

Nath, if you’re not into microblogging in general then perhaps you won’t ever be interested in it, but the algorithm is easy to train or replace with a custom Feed, moderation lists like this one let you mass block confirmed dickheads, and labellers like this one let you filter everything else.

Given your skillset you might even enjoy creating and publishing your own custom feed algorithm.

Which pre-minced or -chopped ginger is the least ass? Maybe I should Nutribullet some fresh stuff and freeze it? Just for use in smoothies. Any wisdom?

Glad to have pirated it.

I thought it was burrito night

The only look I ever get from JB employees is disdain.

This makes me want to touch the poles and buttons on the tram even less.

I know what you mean. The bacon could do with a bit longer on the grill too, I’ll add.

I feel like Zapier or IFTT could easily do it, no need to write anything fancy. Do they still have free tiers?

Whatsapp is about contacts (i.e. phone contacts) rather than friends or followers. It means someone with your phone number can get access to info you set in Whatsapp unless you tweak the privacy settings. When you sign up, go to the Privacy tab and go through the “Who can see my personal info” section to make sure it suits your preferences. I don’t like to show my picture to anyone who has messaged me unless I’ve saved them as a contact, for example.

The other quirk is “auto-download” I think turned on by default, which means images etc. that get sent to you get saved to your phone. If you’re just swapping memes it can clog things up. Have a play and see what works for you.

You could submit a question on the subject to a council meeting or attend a meeting directly, depending on how committed you are. You could also contact the councillor for your ward and raise it as an issue. Not sure what other options might be available.
