I know I wax lyrical about Dorley-Brown's stuff but his pictures of the familiar (to me) have this other-world quality I just love.

I've apparently used my Steam Cloud storage up with saves (Thanks, Motorsport Manager). I feel I should get some sort of achievement badge for this.

Here are some of the people I had great interactions with recently:

Of this is only a fraction of the people.

It's a shame to see Signal's descent into a money printing machine. I suppose with its success that was inevitable. And yet...

Absolutely should not be allowed, surely nullifies your contract with that vendor if they do shit like this?

Apps that you purchased a paid 'pro' version of that quietly switch to a subscription model to soak more money out of customers can go to hell.

@cwebber Absolutely. The whole idea of "self-hosting" makes it sound difficult, and people get scared when they hear the word server.

But in reality, a server is easier to run than a desktop PC. Servers run zero-touch for years. And properly configuring a web browser or email client is at least as difficult as running the server side software.

But why separate the two? When your client and server are both the same device under your control it's all just "software", and anyone can install that.

It's interesting to a casual and distant observer that the Canadian government's completely incompetent handling of the the trucker protest is very similar to France and the Yellow Vests. They don't know what to do, so they're slinging mud.

Tired of generic greetings?

Confuse your friends with AI-generated Valentine cards!

GPT-3 generated the messages and descriptions, and then I followed its instructions to create the cards.

Pacman still has a lot of fragility when you don't or can't update for over a month or so. It's kind of silly. Nothing else does this.

On that subject, Christopher Dorley-Brown's photos are absolutely wonderful. They photograph London in much the same way I used to see it.

The private high-density vertical housing boom has been a blight on cities, imho. It was recognized that the post war building boom - the great tower block experiment - was largely a bad idea for humans (at least English ones, it works in SE Asia and Eastern Europe for whatever reason) but they're now back in much more polished form.

I was curious so I looked it up; tiny little 1-bedroom flats for ~1200 PCM. London is truly insane.

The scene in the foreground hasn't changed in 30 yrs, if not more, but the apartment development in the background would have been council flats when I was growing up.
