Avatar is a lemming in bed because this account wasn’t intended to be used except for creating communities… and then my instance announced it was closing.

I’m not sure if it works the same way, but Google Wallet uses a virtual card number as well as needing the phone unlocked. There a layer of obfuscation over using a contactless card, that I like.


There are a few petrol shortages in the UK I believe, but that’s mostly people panic buying. I have an EV so doesn’t affect me!
Yeah, it’s a Canon scanner (can’t remember the model of the top of my head), a lot of the listings I saw for it were missing the APS part so maybe it was an optional extra?
They are mounted in the scanner cartridge and then the scanner takes care of advancing through them - or maybe it was manual. I can’t remember now!
I had more rolls of APS than I thought, quite cool as you get the full frame rather than what was selected on the camera, so you see bits that were hidden for years.
Edit fs2710 - just looked in the metadata!

I did the same with my own photos during the lockdown years. Started by scanning physical photos, then got hold of any old negative scanner which supported APS. I’ve scanned everything except I seem to be missing one of my APS negative cartridges. I now can’t get rid of my negative scanner because I know I’ll find that missing cartridge as soon as I do. I also can’t do much with the old PC as it’s the only full size one which will take the SCSI card that I have.
I bought some old computer speakers from a local charity shop - £1.50 without an adaptor (or maybe it has a European adaptor - can’t remember). Didn’t notice until I got it home. Looked in my box … Oh, that’s exactly the right one. Done!
I watch for the plot.
I AM HUMAN. I ASSIGNED MYSELF THIS USERNAME AS PROOF.


I only like the old style earphones that sit in the ear. Those bottom ones look way too bulky to be comfortable or not fall out, and the silicone tip ones - sod stuffing something like that in my ear.
I currently own the Sennheiser MX365 (looks like the MX375 is the updated and still available version) and they are great!
In the interests of Linux commands generally being short abbreviations, I suggest “pls”.


I don’t know if it uses that system, but NeoDB lets you sign in with a Mastodon account too. It’s also fully Mastodon compatible, so you can add it to a client and use it as a basic Mastodon/microblog account if you want. It uses (a modified version of?) Takahē on the backend, a project which sadly appears to have been abandoned.


In addition, you can interact with other services from one account, but not necessarily use them fully.
So as above ^^^ at least one account per service is advisable.
+1 for NetSurf, I wrote the Amiga GUI for that.


But have there been any mice investigations? I think not!

It doesn’t anymore. I think they dropped the My with Vista? Certainly it was gone by Windows 7.


Didn’t Microsoft start this with the “My Computer” icon on Windows 95?


ITYM Google Docs.
Maybe the Android Authority one mentioned as the source in the article? https://www.androidauthority.com/android-17-app-lock-notifications-rumor-3630983/
That’s a mechanical keyboard, so you should be able to map the missing keys to wherever you like.
Failing that, PrtScr is probably on Fn+P, and apostrophes will be Alt Gr+{, Alt Gr+[ or Shift+?. The first two look like they may be accent dead keys, so try Shift+? first, or follow them with a space.
