More and more games releasing that are ditching Steam Workshop in favour of in house equivalents. Why? Because those games are also available on console. @steampowered.com should look at Workshop and consider opening it up to Xbox and PlayStation. We don’t need hundreds of Workshops, just one.

I’ve just realised, with Mudryk now back, we could have Mudryk down the left, Estevao down the right and Pedro in the middle. That’s an insane attacking force of young, fast and talented players. #Chelsea #Mudryk #Estevao

ITV commentators talking about the water breaks and being confused when they’re doing it when it’s not hot and why they’re seemingly doing it at specific times. They can’t be that dense to not realise the water breaks are to allow for commercials on US channels. #WorldCup #England

New Venus Fly trap variant added to my collection today. The Zip has been on my list for a while and now I’ve got one. #CarnivorousPlants #VenusFlyTrap #Mutant

@gbnewsonline.bsky.social The GB News app everyone. Constantly asking to login. Every damn day. Uninstalled I’m done

Shifting all my business emails out of Google has been my favourite decision this week. Google Workspace is over complicated for the self employed. Been incredibly impressed with @trekmail.bsky.social. Powerful, significantly cheaper and very user friendly.

@quiche.industries I have a feature idea. I call it “Tab Shelf”. Basically a place to hold open tabs that you don’t want/need to bookmark, but you keep open for a while but don’t want it sitting in your open tabs screen. Not seen another browser with that and my tab screen is usually messy 🤣

HBO Max in the UK is lacking content that is just old stuff. The old stuff on there is good but nothing really new there. Really was expecting more. Surprised they only have Dune & not Dune 2. Also exactly the same app as Discovery, so buggy from the start. Hopefully it’ll get better. #HBOMax

I’m now at the part of learning to code where I’ve given up before and so many do. The bit when you start feeling dumb. Failing to remember things, feeling like it’s too hard and that I can’t do this. I know this is a phase everyone goes through, but it’s tough. #Swift #iOSDev #LearnToCode

How many more times is Sanchez going to be “given a chance”? He’s fucking awful and should have never been signed. Relegate him to the academy team then donate him to a non-league team. One the other end of the pitch, Pickford has been amazing as usual. #Chelsea #Everton #PremierLeague

@quiche.industries This is likely beyond the scope of what you want for Quiche, but would you consider a “hide distracting items” feature like Safari has? or even better a feature to inject custom CSS to a web page? I use these a lot to remove left over sections where ADs have been blocked.

Learning to code is a though road. I’m committed to the road. I will make that my dream app. I knows its name, features, app icon, uniqueness, design and even the domain name. All that’s needed is the code to link it all together. Everyday, I’m doing tiny code projects, learning everyday.

@quiche.industries I was just making some tweaks to my address bar and thought “why can’t I use the Quiche logo as my menu button icon?” 😉

Hey @quiche.industries Still loving your browser and I geek out regularly convincing more people to give it a try (most thank me) The Ad Blocker seems to have some gaps in it. Big example is screenrant.com where the blocker feels like it’s off on that site and its sister sites.

One month since these were put in soil and they’re doing well. #CapeSundew #carnivorousplants

Today is day one of a new routine for my family. My son starts school today, my wife will travel to work on bus instead of my son and I dropping her off in the car. As for me, I go from full time stay at home Daddy to full time freelance web designer (and app dev in training). #GoodTimesAhead

My car has sounded like a rally car all week. Booked it to see a mechanic, which was going to cost £168 just for them to look. I had a poke around, air intake is no longer connected to the engine, somehow it has disconnected itself. Nice easy fix for my non mechanic hands this morning.

@quiche.industries Hello, I design websites and I clear caches all the time, I’ve found a frustration with Quiche, I can’t clear cache in a targeted way, just an option to clear everything. I like to clear a specific URL or just delete website data but retain history and cookies.

I’m glad that goal was disallowed as I’m biased as a Chelsea fan. It shouldn’t have been disallowed though, VAR usage was correct, but the decision was not. That was not a foul and was impossible to avoid. #Chelsea #Fulham

Popped these Cape Sundew leaf cuttings in water 3 months ago, they’ve now moved to their soil and seal under a grow light lid. More on these in a few weeks. Also have 30 Cape Sundew flower stem cuttings in water, they’ve been there for about 3 weeks. #CarnivorousPlants #CapeSundew

That’s the weirdest half time of football I’ve ever experienced. Are Americans incapable of going 15 minutes without a dopamine overload? Try it how we do it, 15 minutes of fighting for a toilet, grab a beer, grab a pie or chips then sit in your seat waiting and maybe a calm chat. #ClubWorldCup

Get to watch Chelsea in yet another final and then I get to uninstall DAZN and forget they exist. DAZN are absolutely terrible. #ComeOnChelsea

Seems like Palmer is spending the majority of the game so far covering as a left back. Not how to use our best player #Chelsea #NFOCHE

@quiche.industries Hey, just discovered your amazing browser. I would be very grateful if I could join the iPad TestFlight.

Verifications are finally a thing on @bsky.app, I finally begin taking this platform seriously and begin to trust the sources are who they claimed. Took a while, but thank you for implementing this.

Looking forward to a new striker next season, but I feel it will be wasted with tactics like these. Get the ball to opponents penalty box, stand around for 5-10 seconds, then pass it back to our defence. These tactics have no drive to make any attempt to score. #Chelsea

@gbnewsonline.bsky.social Call this Apple piece what it is, an advert. It’s very clear that the questions are scripted positively for Apple to answer in a way that focuses on a selling point for their products. No issue with these promo pieces but be honest about it.

I’d be screaming at some of those players. Players laughing and being friendly with Villa players before the game, fuck that you can do that later, mind on the game not your mates. Then the relaxed way they went up for the corner in extra time, you’re losing, put some effort in. #Chelsea

Many of us have pondered the question “What would have been written and said online if the technology of today was in 1933?” Are we now living that question? #USA #PresidentMusk #VicePresidentTrump #GloryToUkraine🇺🇦

Reece James back from injury and slots in a beautiful free kick Stay healthy Reece, you’re absolutely world class #ProperChels #Chelsea

Happy to see Reece James back on the field, but it worries me every time, for we do this too early? It’s a balance of developing his match fitness and risking aggravating his repeating injury.

First day back to learning iOS development and it’s been a blast. Spent about 2 hours doing a superb YouTube course and some random tinkering afterwards. Really looking forward to starting my app, but I’ve told myself to complete this course before starting an app. #iOSDev #SwiftUI

www.andytopley.co.uk/ive-been-dis...

Restarting my iOS learning tomorrow. Found a superb course by @gallaugher.bsky.social and I’m excited to get started. Been struggling to find a good course. Most our outdated or are just about using a no-code AI service.

Cucurella deserves that goal, he’s put an absolute shift in all season. Come on #Chelsea #KTBFFH

Every time the ball is at Robert Sanchez feet my stomach spins. Can we just bench him, sign Giroud back in January and use him in goal? #Chelsea

Can we stop playing Robert Sanchez? Where was he going in that Tottenham goal? Poor positing and wrong direction. #Chelsea
