@annaecook Related, but not specifically to celiac disease -- I really like the work that #OpenFoodFacts are doing and it makes me happy when I see a product that has adopted their labels.

I quite enjoy using @cinnyapp for #Matrix chat - its so clean and crisp and fast. 😎

It really bugs me when I remember #Firefox :firefox: doesn't let you manually add custom search engines.

You either have to add them via an extension or an existing search box - which means you can't modify the URLs manually (and remove all the tracking crap) or create custom searches for specific things (like 'do a Bing Search but only images that aren't from Pinterest')

@benoit Been there. Got a pay rise and because it brought me into the next tax bracket, it actually meant I started earning less (until my next pay rise) 🥲

Which one of you wrote this?! 😅

@tagomago @JarlavGrenlandUpir It's usually just for events, tbh. Or when I want to look up a band who might have posted an update on FB.

Events are the worst because lots of companies / bands / whatever still use Facebook to list events. There's so much you miss out on if you don't see the FB event.

I wish there was a good alternative. Upcoming.org was great back in the day before Yahoo! bought it and closed it down.

It's been rebooted by the founder, but requires Twitter login.

:bing: How to keep twitter just in case but also stop using twitter

@JarlavGrenlandUpir Hmm, but what if I need to post something?

@JarlavGrenlandUpir I'm signed out of Twitter and Facebook so often when I land on their pages (a good thing) and it pains me so much that they only let you scroll about three tweets before hiding the whole page behind a "Sign up to see more" message.

I did a 1 hour live stream on #Twitch 🎮 earlier and took my #TwoPointHospital 🏥 from a two star to a three star hospital.

What a cockwomble.

"Boris Johnson amended the rules on Friday to make clear that ministers will not always be expected to resign for breaching the code of conduct. Under new sanctions, they could apologise or temporarily lose their pay instead."

Hmmm 🤔

Just so you're in on the GOSS. Two of the girls at this #Eurovision :eurovision2022: party just announced they got tested for chlamydia today. 🙉 Both were negative! 🥂🎉

I should be live tooting #Eurovision :eurovision2022: but I'm at a Eurovision party 🎉 So...

Heia Norge, etc! 🇳🇴 #Eurovision :eurovision2022:

The UK 🇬🇧 entry for #Eurovision :eurovision2022: is so terrible, but I guess that's what happens when you put your fate in the hands of a #TikTok'er.

@tagomago They're my faves so far 😂
