Try getting arthritis meds in a child proof container! Almost impossible to open even if your hands do work properly. Repeatedly ask to put in normal screw cap bottles but they never listen.

Surely, someone would think to use “Elvis has left the building” as a title?

I also keep a windows boot around just for updating my tomtom wirh map updates. Tried under Linux but the mydrive software just will not work. If anyone knows how to update a tomtom rider 400 under Linux, let me know.

Attribution please. Is this a Tom Gauld cartoon?

And don’t forget the rootkit debacle.

I’m on ps5 but the upcoming psn price hike is putting me off after reluctantly paying it the last 2 years. A steam console (I think I saw ‘leaked’ recently) sounds ok if it can play GOG/owned stuff too.

Agreed. UK’s NHS is a poor shadow of its former glory due to Tory/right cuts and desperation to privatise. And just a decade ago the (IMHO awesome) 2012 Olympic opening ceremony showing our thanks and respect… 😭

There are so many more types of biscuits.

It’s casualuk after all.

Ignoring people!

Grumpy, Doc, Sneezy, I definitely forget the rest though.

In the UK you might say a sheepish hello to the person(s) next to you in the waiting room but never to the whole room, that would be… uncomfortable. It might also prompt a conversation when you just want to ignore the world until you’re called.

Yep, UK are trying to do the same, also Conservatives! 👎

Hey, there’s always double-clicking the icon too. Now that is exhausting.

Wickes is still going strong I believe. I’ve not heard anything to the contrary!

SDL is Simple Direct-media Layer (I think) and is a low level c++ frame work for writing games and multimedia applications. I wrote everything from the main loop to sprite animation classes, smoothing, serialisation, menus etc. etc. Great fun to have total control but also a pain, so Godot is a joy though I might investigate c++ to supplement gdscript as I’m not really into the python style (yet). Have a look at SDL here https://www.libsdl.org/

Awesome, keep at it. I have a on/off relationship with game dev, as my day job is programming so it often feels like a bus man’s holiday to spend more hours at the keyboard, but the results are fun. Currently trying out some old ideas with latest Godot. Much easier than SDL and writing everything myself in c++ which I’ve done before.

Thanks, I did quite like Silver and A Dead… they had an interesting vibe. I’ll be looking into those 👍

Yeah, OK, I know doom scrolling and navel gazing but this has me stumped. I like a bit of Katatonia so my interest is piqued. Got any examples?

Same here, must be over 50 times since 99 when it first came out on dvd. Most of those in the first few years showing off my flash new dual disc dvd player!

Solar sounds great. I have a Garmin FR55 and linked it to an old phone with no sim and a throw away email account, so it just syncs each time I get back from a run. Lasts a week even with gps during runs. Also turned off all notifications as I hate that. I stopped wearing a watch about 20 years ago but this (after a bit of getting used to) is actually quite useful.

That and Gimp together are excellent.
