Stuck in a @cloudflare loop on @MTGGoldfish , keeps redirecting back to the same page. Utterly garbage user experience. Website is functionally unusable.
Order @UberUK; app says trip will cost £26. Driver takes me round the houses, and when I finally get dropped off the app charges me £63. MORE THAN DOUBLE
Trying to appeal but the app is stuck in an automated "computer says no" loop with no human involvement. How is this legal?
In @IndeedUK 's new TV ad, interviewee asks about salary & interviewer dodges question; implication is Indeed cuts out this kind of behaviour
But Indeed allows employers to post ads without a salary & doesnt let jobseekers filter out those results. Indeed is part of the problem
With my 1-year-old watching a children's nursery rhyme video (Miss Rachel) on @YouTube. Video was interrupted by an ad full of foul language
I understand ads are how YouTube keeps the lights on, but how is this allowed to happen? Ads should match content & be family friendly

Replying to @Malwarebytes
@Malwarebytes @SupportMWB Malwarebytes Browser Guard blocks my website and tells users "website blocked due to fishing" and "We strongly recommend you do not continue. You may be putting your safety at risk"
My site collects no personal data of any kind. How do I get this fixed?
@Malwarebytes My site does not ask for or collect any personal information at all and does not use tracking cookies. It is entirely GDPR compliant.
Your assessment is completely bogus and your warning is scaring away potential users.
@Malwarebytes the website is published with my name attached, so I consider the accusations of phishing activity not only false but defamatory.
Who do I speak to about getting this rectified?
Permanent boycott on all things @squarespace
Hope this person falls into a woodchipper
Replying to @SamsungMobile
@SamsungMobile predictive text used to be incredibly good until relatively recently. I don't know what they did to it, but it's garbage now. My biggest complaint is that it no longer understands capitalisation; it randomly "corrects" words mid-sentence, such as "if" -> "If"
I don't think I even knew there *was* a ban on onshore wind farms. In my defence, there's been quite a lot going on since 2016. But bugger me what a backwards country we live in.

Ive been the player who lost a final vs someone who got there this way, after having played every single round of the event myself. It sucks
I accept this is legal as the rules currently stand, but it absolutely shouldnt be. Its collusion
& posting/bragging about it is cringe

Haven't used twitter in quite a while, and I knew it had kind of gone to shit, but this is truly incredible:
Before the brexit referendum I only used twitter to complain to companies about bad service
Then some politics happened and I did twitter for a while
Now I'm back to complaining at companies
Nothing to see here except "I bought your thing and it broke"
Went to my first ever comic con today and it was... a disaster
@comconliverpool oversold tickets for every single event, leading to huge numbers of people being turned away from things they'd paid for and were on time for
The fault begins and ends with the person or persons who decided how many tickets to sell.
They weren't just out by 10-20%. They sold at least double the tickets they should have. And I find it hard to imagine they didn't know as much.
