Duh. It’s weak because of Brexit, it needs to be soft touch because it’s lost the influence to be anything else.

My flatmate used to call that Tomb Raider (the first of the new trilogy) “PTSD Simulator”. It’s as you say, the first few deaths are entirely survival-driven, with her constantly crying and then she becomes an emotionless one-woman army.

I would recommend people buy their books off ZLibrary instead, where they come with no DRM.

At this point I think Keir Starmer is actually a covert conservative trying his hardest to undermine and destroy the Labour party for decades to come.

A very minor one, but only in a roundablut way. Valve weren’t targeting a performance boost, but a battery increase. They went for a newer generation of their processor with roughly the same processing power and slightly more efficiency. The thing is, because of the added efficiency it can sustain high loads without throttling for longer. Between that and the minute differences in processing power, it happens to have a tiny bit of a performance boost, but it’s very very minor.

That’s not the joke.

Text extruder, I love that 🤣

The paradox of tolerance. You’re quoting an racist remark - there’s no need to tolerate intolerance as the social contract is broken.

For a cartoon game.

With the aesthetics they have, this could have been playable on the steam deck without anybody noticing the difference in graphics.

Why do they need 2-billion-polygon rocks only to flatten them all out and make it look like a cardboard cutout? It’s ridiculous.

With the vibe of this drawing, I feel it’s asking for a weed plant pot strapped to a frog.

You sort of can already. For text it’s definitely possible, and I’ve started doing it since my notes are mostly text rather than screenshots. (I use obsidian to take notes, and quick thoughts get their own note).

I don’t have a mega cohesive workflow yet but this is the list of things I do:

• I have a script that combines all my notes into one. This runs automatically in my computer every few minutes, and synced to Google drive.

• For work (we have a Gemini Pro subscription) this plus some rolling meetings notes gets added to a gemini “gem” (custom set of instructions/context) that has been instructed to answer from my notes, so that I can ask it “what recent ideas have I had” or “what’s the biggest problem right now with project XYZ”.

• For my personal notes, I upload manually the combined notes to perplexity and do roughly the same.

• And the one that might work for you, now I’ve opened my obsidian vault (I.e. the folder where my notes live) with Windsurf, an AI-enabled IDE. These things can do much more interesting things than vibe coding. I use this for tidying up: “help me find topics in my notes where I haven’t linked the notes between them”.

You could use this last one to open your screenshots folder, and your monthly credits might not last that long if you’re dealing with images, but I think that’d be a problem only at the beginning when you have a large number of unsorted files. You could ask it to put analyse them and put them into longer format notes, for example. Or go through them one by one, analyse them, and if they’re worth keeping, add the text to a single big text file and then move the screenshot to another folder that you could delete later.

I love this, thank you so much!!

I’m going to add another thing I’ve learnt in the past couple of years. No organisation method is perfect, and IT’S FINE to ditch a method and try a new one. No shame.

No, you haven’t failed, no, you’re not “incapable” of doing GTD or using Kanban or Todoist or whatever. It can be the case that your life has changed and what seemed like a good method 6 months ago, just doesn’t work anymore.

The reality is life changes quickly, and when you’re a student at 22 you need different strategies and methods to when you become an intern at 23 to when you have a decent but different job at 26 or when you become a manager at 38. And in between all those things there are many small steps - you move countries, you start living with your partner, you have a child, you start your own company, you decide “fuck it, I’m not working a 9-5 anymore and I’m going to live off advertising things on Tiktok”.

Whatever happens with your life, it’s a process, not something static. So as tempting as it is for us NDs, you can’t blame yourself when your method fails to contain the huge chaos of the neurodivergent mind. Plus let’s face it, if you have ADHD you’re likely to get bored of it and at that point it’s better to find something new than to just give up altogether on the idea of organising.

(Same advice applies to many other fields, e.g. exercising - gym might stop working for you but you can always start swimming, or bouldering, or whatever, up until your life changes and you get bored).

I think a better purchase in the fujifilm realm is the instax link wide printer.

Your phone is likely to already take far better photos than the Evo and will get upgraded over time anyway, improving the quality of your Fuji photos. Plus, if you eventually get a DSLR (or mirrorless given we’re in 2025) you can also print instant photos off that.

The Evo only has a 1/3" sensor (an iPhone’s is far bigger and nicer) and a 16mm equivalent focal length, which means nothing like bokeh or subject separation - it’s almost literally a 2018-spec wide-angle phone camera sensor attached to an instax printer.

For me it’s a no brainer. If you already have an iPhone or any phone that takes semi-decent pictures, the instax printer is cheaper and gives you that link to the analogue world.

The other instax you have serves as a “semi disposable” camera that you can still keep but that you care less about (e.g. for going to the beach).

sorry I can’t come up with anything more humane but here it is: my safe-ish idea would be to get a large clear plastic box, and drop it (opening facing down) on top of the pears and wasps. If it’s large enough you’re likely to be able to do this without angering them, and as long as it falls flat-ish they won’t be flying right back at you.

From there you can just leave them, or come back a while later and place something heavy on the box so it doesn’t fly with the wind.

There’s a chance some of them might escape but if they do it will be one by one manageable) and otherwise they’ll keep feeding on the rotting fruit until weather or lack of water takes care of them.

This category normally is considered EV rather than hybrids because of the ICE not being connected to the wheels. They are usually called “EREVs” for Extended Range Electric Vehicles. The BMW i3 with the optional range extender of the first generation Chevrolet Volt / Opel Ampera are examples of it.

PHEVs (Plugin Hybrid-Electric Vehicles) are what they’re called when you can charge the vehicle as well, but the internal combustion engine is connected to the drivetrain rather than just the battery.

When the iPhone X was released (2017), the £1000 pricing was considered ridiculous. Most flagships at the time cost about £600 (this is what the 2016 iPhone 7 cost at launch, with the iPhone 7 Plus having a starting price of £720).

Obviously this didn’t stop Apple from selling them like hotcakes and establishing an immediate +30% increase of the flagship smartphone prices.

Today, a Galaxy Z Fold starts at £1800. This is a +146% increase over the 2017 release price of the Galaxy Note 7.

According to the bank of England, we’ve seen a total inflation of 34% in the 2017-2025, while phones have increased their prices by >100%.

So yeah, no surprise there. As phones keep rising in value, they are going to continue becoming an increasingly desirable target for thefts. A gym bag full of smartphone boxes can easily have over £20k at retail prices, and easily fetch £10k when sold at a hefty discount, but a smartphone store doesn’t have the security measures of a jewelry store. I can see how it’s attractive to thieves.

Why do you consider the UK’s ticketing system outdated? There’s oyster in/around London and QR codes everywhere else.

What are you missing, is location-based surveillance what would be needed to modernise it in your opinion?

What happened was, they realised that Arc was a niche product that had a fervient userbase but would never become a mainstream browser, so they announced its development was “complete” and they were moving on to Dia so that they could jump onto the AI bandwagon create the next generation of browser.

The best thing The Browser Company ever did was unintentionally making someone else decide to create Zen.

I’m very mildly pro-AI, in the sense that I remain optimistic there will be at least a few cool use cases and I’d love to find them.

So I tried Dia… And uninstalled it a few hours later. Why would I want to “chat with my tabs”? Even if I didn’t think this was a rubbish use case, every browser comes with a chatbot sidebar/extension/whatever, why would I want to change browsers just for that?

Heavy pass. Also, after how they abandoned Arc, I don’t think they can be trusted to develop a product and not pull the rug from under the users when it becomes mildly inconvenient to keep working on it.
