How heterosexual couples met in the US
  • This belongs in boringdystopia.

  • Midge defence?
  • Smidge! Buy smidge. It works really well against a variety of biting things.

  • Yellow Wagtail
  • How well does the sigma lens work with the EF mount adapter?

  • What was your best decision in life?
  • Moving to Ireland. Better than the UK in almost every way.

  • Signs you're getting old?
  • I thought Fairphone would solve this for me, but the thing is too damn chonky.

  • Signs you're getting old?
    • A general feeling of alienation from society. Particularly younger people.
    • Dislike of ‘modern’ music.
    • Nostalgia over the way things used to be as you have lived long enough to witness the enshittification.
  • Injury Rates at SpaceX Soar Above Industry Norms
  • This image gives me Subnautica vibes.

  • Fairbuds are Fairphone’s proof that we really could make better tiny gadgets
  • Codec support is a bit of a bummer. Otherwise I would have bought them.

  • Automattic buys Beeper for $125MM, launches closed-source "privacy" app
  • Maybe they could have spent some of that money on Simplenote maintenance & development.

  • I have a confession to make: I'm in love with a bird.
  • There is something strangely pleasing about watching house sparrows going about their lives. They lived in the roof of our old house. Almost felt like they were a part of the family. We've since moved & the new place has all the roof gaps either filled in or meshed off. Can't do anything about it as it's a rental.

  • Finally deleted my LinkedIn account!
  • I'd love to do this, but I used LinkedIn to find my current job, & I'll probably need it to find the next one (when the time comes).

    I keep it up to date, like a kind of running CV, but otherwise I don't interact with it.

  • Deleted
    *Permanently Deleted*
  • I used to, because I had a buggy TP-Link modem/router, & adding a cap was the only way that port forwarding would magically start to work. I have no idea why. The bug never got fixed.

  • What's good about life in the UK?
  • Having recently migrated, the only things I miss from the UK are:

    • Public right of way networks (country trails, etc)
    • Slightly more stable weather
    • Slightly cheaper coffee & chocolate
    • Starling bank
  • Been binge watching the Aliens, Predators, and the Aliens v. Predators movies lately (no spoilers)
  • "Alien Isolation" is worth a try. It's very faithful to the original film. Should be available on PC, Xbox & PS. It can be a bit of a 'locker hiding simulator', but the suspense is good. If I was being critical I'd say it drags on a bit.

  • Mobile Roaming in the US & Canada
  • Thanks. I'll take a look in local shops when I get there.

  • Mobile Roaming in the US & Canada
  • Thanks. Will take a look.

  • Mobile Roaming in the US & Canada

    What do people here do when wanting to take their phone with them when travelling to the US or Canada. It looks like I might need to take out a mortgage if I took my eir SIM with me & turned on data roaming.

    Does anyone have any recommendations for eSIMs or anything else?

    FPS as it was, once upon a time
  • Yup. That's it.

  • FPS as it was, once upon a time
  • Was just thinking the same. A happy trip down memory lane. We used to do quad jump + low gravity + instagib. There was some capture the flag map that was great with these mods. I can't remember the name now though.

  • Recommendations for a FOSS Cross-Platform Note-Taking Application

    Up to now I've been using Simplenote, which has a Linux client (but also Android & iOS) & supports live collaboration on notes. However, Simplenote hasn't had a meaningful update for a long time, & it's recently been behaving strangely, e.g. notes undeleting themselves, line duplications & undeletions.

    Can anyone recommend an alternative? Spinning up an ownCloud/nextcloud instance just to use Joplin feels a little overkill. I stumbled across turtl, but the project looks abandoned.

    Left-Leaning Online Local News Source for Cork

    I'm shortly going to be migrating to Cork. I'd be grateful if someone could point me in the direction of some 'left' or 'centre-left' online news sources for Cork. Preferably with RSS feeds.

    Bird ID
    play.google.com Merlin Bird ID by Cornell Lab - Apps on Google Play

    What’s that bird? Just answer 5 questions, snap a photo, or record its song!

    Merlin Bird ID by Cornell Lab - Apps on Google Play

    A lot of people probably already know this exists, but for those who don't, there's an awesome app that tells you what birds are around from their calls/songs. It's called "Merlin". You can also give it photos to ID. I usually leave it running in my pocket or hand while I walk around my local RSPB reserve.

    I'm not sure what this screen is for, but it doesn't currently work.
