This was an interesting take on ”I do not want more tips” in a banking app.
In order to access the tips if I turn them off, the only way is to uninstall and reinstall the app. I only learn of this constraint by clicking the ’question mark’-icon.

@JesperBylund From my understanding you can loan a Kindle book to another person only a single time for a period of 14 days if the publisher has allowed it? Apple Books of course won’t allow lending at all.

@schoeyfield Libraries are the best. Happy to see my oldest child frequenting one. 👊
Is there any way I can put this tweet on my wall, animation and all? 😂 twitter.com/Graffotti/status/11931…
There should be a name for the practice of leaving 1-star reviews of apps because you are disappointed by the limits imposed on a free account.
I'm embarassed to disclose how many times I've failed in the last hour to download and set up a habit tracker, because something on Twitter "caught my eye". 😁

@WolfgangBremer Learning opportunity on licensing, differing copyright laws, differing demands, different prices by country, and workarounds ;)

@WolfgangBremer Always bring a whiteboard when travelling with kids 😅
↪ Replying to @WolfgangBremer
@WolfgangBremer Yeah, at the same time I remember the PAL and NTSC and SECAM debacle. Global licensing is a mess. Also thinking about getting music on vinyl, then cassette, then cd (and even buying a minidisc player), downloading (iPod), then streaming.
@WolfgangBremer I can see why there is nostalgia for vinyl...

Reminder copy:
”At a time in your life when you were less tired, more resilient, more self-aware and more sensitive to your own needs, you set this reminder to [turn off the lights/go for a walk/drink water/plan the weekend]. Please consider listening to yourself.”
”No matter how principled you are, you must recognize that, over time, the bearings of your moral compass will shift toward the culture of your organization or team.”

@tsvenson Yeah, me too. I’m thinking this will be a series of tweets on what a future might look like if we continue down a certain path.
Remember when we could buy books and lend them out to friends?

@WolfgangBremer @veen @RogueAmoeba You could also do Skype call recording, there are many apps for that. We’ve just moved away from Skype as we’ve had issues with call quality.

@WolfgangBremer @veen First choice: Guest records themselves with a decent microphone and you merge files in Audacity later
Backup: on your own computer via Audio Hijack from @RogueAmoeba (record computer audio)

@WolfgangBremer I've had the good fortune of working with healthcare for 8 years now. It's often frustrating and slow, and not the most proitable place I can be, but every time I feel like jumping ship I remind myself that it's still the place where I believe I contribute to more societal value.
@WolfgangBremer I feel having a good understanding of my own value system allows me to make better choices in the face of adversity and judging the attractiveness of options that present themselves.

@PavelASamsonov @StealthMountain Haha, lovely!
