Nope, although that’s an interestingly bleak take on it!

I find physical albums annoying because they spend the overwhelming majority of their time unseen in a drawer. They have to be protected and unless one has the negatives or an obsessive approach then they are a single point of failure. I want to see the photos and love things like collages. My bedroom wall used to be covered in pics!

I find digital photo frames annoying because they feel like a massive bottleneck. Like looking a the world through a straw.

I don’t actually know which approach I feel is sensible for my tastes, just that I don’t really like either option.

I’m currently (as in the processing is happening in another tab as I type) collecting my photos together, going back to Q1 2002 so that I’ll at least have them in one place (and from there they can be easily backed up). From there I might generate collages or something. I’m not sure what’d be fun, but at least I’ll have an API that I can access the data through to try cool shit. Fire up the colour laser printer!

I’m going to upset everyone and say I dislike both!

…wow. What the fuck.

The notion that companies can donate is fucked up. Bribing cunts.

Won’t someone please think of the poor oppressed drivers!

I hate that godsdamned slogan.

I’m reminded of someone at work who jokingly introduced himself as Nightwing. I genuinely cannot remember his real name.

Restaurant seems generous!

…But what I mean is over the shoulders of a jacket, that sort of thing. Handy for conventions, meetups, and stuff like that.

What is up with that audio mixing?

(As someone who grew up in the countryside) farmers doing something dodgy? That’s so out of character!

Ironically I’ve never changed my username. It dates back about twenty five years and I have it printed on clothes. Occasionally someone recognises me online.

I changed my name before starting my current job for this reason.

Why do all cash-fixated people say stuff like this:

Ty says: “Unlike card, cash is private and doesn’t leave data about the purchase, it doesn’t cost the merchant transaction fees, […]

There are ABSOLUTELY processing fees associated with cash! When I was running my own business I hated having to deal with cash and customers always acted as if they were doing me a favour by using it. A card payment would drop into my account, job done. A cash payment had to be kept secure and then I’d have to find time to take a trip to the bank to pay it in, whereupon my bank would take a cut to handle the cash.

Overall it was about as expensive for me regardless, except cash also added hassle and security concerns for me. It also invariably ended up with me having to deal with tax-dodging weirdos who wanted to be pally about it.

No, mate, I don’t cheat on my income tax like some sponging arsehole, and being proud of that sort of selfish behaviour is gross.

But who will advise them as to whether something is sufficiently unethical?

1 - Datacards are great in theory. In practice they’re instantly outdated and overpriced. The codices get outdated as they’re patched too. Generally I use one of the online rule sources provided by third parties unless I’m planning to play at Warhammer World or something.

3 - Every iteration of the official app I’ve used has been trash.

I’m efficient in expressing my flabbergasted disgust!

JFC, US, WTAF.

Eww, no, the flappy entangling menace does not work for me!

Same reason I find the notion of traditional sheet + blanket to be anathema.

The 4A was about the upper limit of what I like - switching to the 6A has been a royal pain in the arse!

A small phone I can get a good grip on - bigger phones feel like a balancing act during use.

You want one even smaller than that?!

Yes…?

I want to be able to hold it in one hand and use it properly, like I could with my iPhone 3GS. If I need a bigger device, which I often do, I grab a laptop. If I want a big screen I use my home theatre. If I want handheld gaming I grab my Steam Deck. My point is, I’m not a luddite who feels that smartphones aren’t useful - I was an early adopter (Shout outs to Symbian Series 60!) but I’m finding the recent generations of devices to be cumbersome. They’re massive in my pocket, I need two hands to use them, they’re much easier for me to fumble and drop, and using them strains the tendons in my little finger as I try to stabilise an ungainly lump.

It frustrates me no end that phones just get bigger and bigger. Having the option is great, no complaints there, but could there be something that suits me too?

You may want to specifically look at phones marketed as being small.

The issue I’ve had there is that their cameras are generally rubbish, unfortunately.
