Must be about due a reread! 2025-05-13T21:40:22Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs0ngll68m8ycv2jt9z2ldftlfqzu48jq9y9t0pgxwgm6zst5aedrqzyz8l7l9vkypkg69z7kll27mtmwqqk05nyn2p48kdath3zvl9qcp2ztwws3a Techy people - I, an idiot, apparently failed to transfer the folder of images from my elderly camera&#39;s SD card to my laptop before a) formatting the card and b) taking more photos with it. Do I have any chance of getting the original pics back? (I shan&#39;t be able to try any solution until at least Sunday anyway, but I&#39;m interested to hear whether anyone has ever managed this - initial verdicts have been &#34;you&#39;re screwed&#34;, but seeing as those pics were almost the entire point of me being on the Isle of Man and I can&#39;t go back and take em again due to lack of time and batteries... I&#39;m a bit bloody miffed) 2025-05-01T07:16:00Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsxs7sa84cfza967w0vlnqvhshurfyazx5q2rgctm9l3uh8muvah6qzyz8l7l9vkypkg69z7kll27mtmwqqk05nyn2p48kdath3zvl9qcp2zjenmcf In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqstx50ukt3p70unys47um0g2txp6argdfwjksaj9ph0fmqxcxevnmghmuz6w'>nevent1q…uz6w</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>They&#39;re very good. A bit information-dense, but I like that, and the writing is always good. I love the way that so many of the main characters are *nice* (very Becky Chambers, in other words). 2025-03-29T14:24:32Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs898fdjd625n25hu00m97keux8p9wtnf2s6uq4rxsgvmnacwks4vqzyz8l7l9vkypkg69z7kll27mtmwqqk05nyn2p48kdath3zvl9qcp2zn90gxu In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswwvxzu25c4qvzs69g4zjq65akkwr4sqpwm2n6xz7atugme7pwjacpheq3r'>nevent1q…eq3r</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Thank you! Yes, it was a peculiar thing. My ex always insists that he knew who I was (ie who was playing the character) but I certainly had no idea that it was him! I still remember being a little intimidated when I realised who it was. I&#39;m not sure I&#39;d ever have approached him IRL! 2025-03-28T18:06:49Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsfl0uas5hp4pqwuwju942u95y3lfyqfhmr87qm2hulfw3mm58x0kszyz8l7l9vkypkg69z7kll27mtmwqqk05nyn2p48kdath3zvl9qcp2zzp88xj Right, now I have everyone&#39;s attention, what should I be using for online meetings instead of Zoom?<br/><br/>Only for me and at most half a dozen other people, all freelancers (in other words, not all from the same company).<br/><br/>I don&#39;t mind paying, but I&#39;d rather it wasn&#39;t *very* expensive as I only need maybe 1-2 meetings a week. 2025-03-27T19:55:31Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs0v29up0xm7uynrzdqt3xuez7wvlmlnu06skmrhvzv4z2zr2a6v6qzyz8l7l9vkypkg69z7kll27mtmwqqk05nyn2p48kdath3zvl9qcp2zvkd74y In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsywqg354lt4exqqssd2jh7p5awh57e9az6cqssuasthnvqyh9f4dq37vg8u'>nevent1q…vg8u</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Yeah, I&#39;ve already had a mate saying &#34;Pah! 2800 baud rate was all we had&#34;.<br/><br/>I&#39;m not actually sure how fast(slow) my first connection was, because after I finished my MA in 1991 I was offline for about 8 years and missed all the very slow bits! 2025-03-27T16:47:15Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsdh2t6vha6rscayq20j26244efzqkwxgmccxcz3jfg9gn88vlt3fqzyz8l7l9vkypkg69z7kll27mtmwqqk05nyn2p48kdath3zvl9qcp2zp37el9 I&#39;m really loving how Mastodon has become a refuge for all the grizzled seafarers on the ocean of the internet. They pop up in my feed and their bios all say something like<br/><br/>&#34;I&#39;ve been online for longer than the internet. I&#39;ve seen things you people wouldn&#39;t believe. 56k modems on fire in the light of Usenet. I watched IRC forks glitter in the dark near the Gateway 3000. All those moments will be lost in slop, like tears in rain. Time to deshittify.&#34; 2025-03-27T15:50:33Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsvdgru3cscf3mm6a7sl75ze6c6s5t463wyxkex0pc9hxuyfwglr8gzyz8l7l9vkypkg69z7kll27mtmwqqk05nyn2p48kdath3zvl9qcp2zqqk7h9 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsrwsafjzkucnjl6x4gds92pevq7uqaakxwj0ptm9d5j3krtcqng6qgktn63'>nevent1q…tn63</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Dashlane. The extension works fine with Firefox, but makes things fall over fairly quickly with LibreWolf. Like I say, I don&#39;t actually care. At least this time I know why it&#39;s happening. And we need to get used to non-frictionless interactions if we want to do away with the Googleverse and its ilk. 2025-03-07T20:33:01Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsdllnclhqel86mp895wjd0urzlca0har6ads5nntvee6eszn7f6mszyz8l7l9vkypkg69z7kll27mtmwqqk05nyn2p48kdath3zvl9qcp2zwejef7 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqszeeg0pehx4e7tcsjc4pgmycpcv4d45xfvuyjkx6gy8upuvsnelrsjev34q'>nevent1q…v34q</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I&#39;m on LibreWolf again too. And this time I&#39;ve worked out how to stop tabs crashing - disable my password manager extension. I just switch it back on when I need it. A bit of a faff, but still waaaaay better than the alternative 2025-03-07T16:29:53Z
