Has there been any reviews out yet about how it plays on PS5? I am planning on getting it for PS5 (once I finally finish BOTW) but haven’t seen anything yet about what it’s like on PS5 compared to PC

Hope he’s doing okay, sending some good thoughts!

Same here! Although my partner has no concept of “too cold” so we’ll end up on the beach in the middle of winter too.

Talking to our little boy our plans for the beach are:

Make a smiley face, Find Seaweed, SAUSAGES!

Congratulations! Do you have a name ready or are you going to wait and see what fits once she’s here?

House buying is the absolute worst. I hate it so much…

You have to decide so much, on so little information and time. Hell you can spend longer researching a cheap kitchen appliance than a house.

Even when it’s all sorted it’s not really… not until you finally have the keys.

The only way I could be stay sane was shifting my way of thinking… eventually you will find your home and before long you’ll be making memories in it and will absolutely love your house. Every house you missed on was really a good thing in the end as it will lead you to that one house, your proper home.

I’ve only had a little bit of retail experience from my teenage days and even with that this just brings back such flash backs. People getting mad at a kid just because the store didn’t have the DVD they wanted or because they’ve been asked to park up at the drive through and wait 5 min for their food.

Personally I think any business owner, especially a home delivery service like pizza, should be firm and quickly blacklist customers who act like this. Delivery drivers put themselves at risk, they are lone workers going to random people’s home. It should be treated seriously.

World would be a lot better if people who treat service workers poorly quickly found that they could no longer get service at all.

I’m so glad to hear this. I haven’t started watching series 2 yet but am really looking forward to it.

Google is one of the worst offenders, with constant effort to force you to login, sponsored links etc but it isn’t unique to them.

AI (or human) generated rubbish, optimised for SEO is making it harder and harder to find what you actually want. This isn’t entirely new, there has always been a battle but it does seem like now with the AI push they are winning and we (the users/consumers) are losing.

Thank you!

Also like that the iOS app privacy section says:

Data Not Collected The developer does not collect any data from this app

Agreed. There is something very special about Outer Wilds

Away on holiday and have immediately come down with a stinking cold. Boo! (Still happy for a holiday anyway)

Wonder what a difference it now makes with the iCloud “advanced Data protection” that provides end to end encryption for iCloud backups etc. in theory that should block the iCloud backup route.

I go through phases but I always end up back to two slices of buttery toast.

Other things I sometimes cycle through Overnight oats Weetabix Porridge (winter only) Jam on toast Poached egg on toast

I also like home made pancake on a weekend day (family activity) or if going out for breakfast/brunch a full English or a chorizo breakfast hash

I’m gutted, really enjoyed prodigy and was looking forward to watching it with little boy (once he was old enough)

Fingers crossed they find a buyer and we can at least get to see the second series

Right now? Focus on family. If it was just me who didn’t have to work I’d be a “stay at home dad” but even better if neither of us had to work and we could be a family together without having to disappear for 8+ hours every weekday.

Go to the park, Go to museums, Go to the bay or the beech, Walk in the woods, go to the library, go to soft play, go to role play, visit other friends and family, have a nice day at home and in the garden… there’s just so much to do before we even start worrying about expensive activities. Would be absolutely lovely if this wasn’t limited to the weekends.

Telegram doesn’t use end to end encryption by default.

I use Signal and Matrix and what have you but in the end if I want to be able to join in with communications with family and friends beyond a few specific people I need to use WhatsApp.

Good article - but as it points out I am entirely powerless. I can’t move away from WhatsApp as everyone, absolutely everyone I know (in the UK at least) uses WhatsApp as their primary or only messaging app/service.

This is a good list; thank you for putting it together. If you’re interested in charitable giving can I suggest taking a look at https://www.givewell.org/ - they try to identify the most cost effective charities that you can donate to in order to improve people’s lives.

Absolutely amazing. Thank you for posting

Yep totally agree. You can argue that lemmy or Kbin in general is (or could be) but beehaw is it’s own thing which I greatly appreciate
