Seems like @Apple could avoid all the monopolistic talk relating to their 30% fee for competing apps in their App Store (e.g. @Spotify vs @AppleMusic) if they decided to stop charging the fee for those apps where they have a competing in-house app/product. #levelplayingfield
Mastodon is a decentralised, open-source social media platform with a focus on privacy and community-building - could it be the catalyst for change in the social media landscape? It happened with email. #Mastodon #SocialMedia #Privacy matthopkins.com/2022/12/05/w…
Hello @vitality_uk and @waitrose - My cashback from Waitrose stopped in September. Have had nothing since. I have tried to contact you by phone and email about this issue but it is still not resolved. 1/4

I have friends locally that have the same issue and so can’t be limited to my account - although the offshore customer service rep who replied to my email simply said “I would like to inform you that, your Waitrose account is not linked with Vitality” which can’t be correct 3/4

Can you guys look into this asap and solve the issue - for me and others - and also credit this missing payments? Thank you. 4/4

I mentor a young lad with poor literacy skills who is starting a landscaping business. He struggles to communicate with clients in a professional manner. I created a GPT3-powered Gmail account to which he sends a message. It responds with the text to send to the client.

Hi @icliving - not sure if you guys are looking at alternatives to Twitter, but I’ve set up a Mastodon instance for #southsea people here’s the link if you want to look around (currently quiet of course - but loads of promise) southsea.social/invite/SPqaB…

England’s water: the world’s piggy bank - great piece by ⁦@guardian⁩ that’s worth a read. It makes no sense to me for water companies to be privatised. theguardian.com/environment/…
There’s a new Mastodon server for #Southsea peeps if anyone is interested in exploring the “fediverse” southsea.social/invite/SPqaB…
