What a ridiculous argument to be having in times like this. It's clearly named for the movie Robocop, and even if it wasn't: not all countries suffer from an abusive militarised police force like the USA does. I can understand the

I've been casually playing with Rust for a few years now. Wrote a few small things in my previous job that still run a large part of their business, which is pretty satisfying, but only very recently have I found a couple of hobby proj

Similar experience here, and in fact I use a floating typing style more akin to playing a piano instead of sitting on the home row. I actually did end up with bad RSI for a year, however, caused by typing on a laptop, but I now realise that

Ah I mostly meant more in terms of the denoising, HDR-ish effects, and the like, but I do agree that the sensors are also partly to blame there. I imagine the small size increases the need for noise reduction processing.

I think my dad has both of those cameras actually, and I agree that they're really excellent. He only totes around his big Nikon when he needs the really large lens now. Must admit that I sorta forgot he owned them.

I do wish a phone company would offer a phone that does _no_ real processing of the image. Phone photos look fine on a phone, but the moment you enlarge them they really are extremely weird, in my experience. Personally I would love the uti

This was how I spent my Saturday. Needs a bit of polish, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, i.e. it works and my PC hasn't exploded yet. There's an equivalent in Python that I've seen, but this felt like a good

I like it. I actually built my own platform last year in a similar vein ( https://senryu.pub ) but made a few different trade-offs; I allowed myself a couple of fonts (which make up most of the page size), but I can very much appr

I think JamKazam is helping some of my friends maintain what little is left of their sanity in the current climate, so thank you for that! Unfortunately I might not be in many sessions for a while as I replaced my last Windows machine with

Forgot to add: I never came across JackTrip whilst researching options for this, so I'm quite keen to have a play with that.

I've used JamKazam ( https://www.jamkazam.com ) a few times recently to play folk music with some friends. The sort of music we play relies very heavily on listening to each other and improvising, and surprisingly it _just ab

I've got a portable charger that will do my Nintendo Switch but not one that will do my laptop. I get about 3-4 actual hours out of my laptop (Dell Precision 5540 running Ubuntu) which is about enough for me, but I would like to explor

I'm a big fan of working from parks in the summer. I've spent quite a few days by the river in my local city. Finding somewhere that's both quite calm and has some form of amenities is a nice mix, albeit not possible everywhe

This isn't the only bad PR tactic I've seen from Casio lately. There's a piano reviewer on YouTube who noticed a flaw in the action of a new digital piano they make, and their responses varied from claiming he was lying to _r

I probably would have bought it if it was still around the £800 mark but it's now up over £1000 and that's just insanely expensive considering what else is available at that price point. I'd love to see a proper competitor to

Yeah it's one of those devices that I would love for noodling about with but I can get so much more for the same money. They're ~£1000 here at the moment.

Yuri Camp is one of my favourites, it really does capture that wonderful tranquil feeling of being outdoors. And it has introduced me to a number of great new winter foods from Japan too!

Non Non Biyori is a pretty great series as well, and it really captures that wonderful everyday fun/boredom of living in the countryside where even going to buy sweets is an adventure.

My local is actually doing takeaway beer (they had a license for it before this), and it has been so popular that they keep running out of cartons.

Yeah that's pretty much my experience as well. Wales seems to follow the north in liking sparklers, although there's fewer darker beers/bitters over here. I grew up in the Cotswolds with nice flat bitters, so I struggled when

It's a small plastic attachment which the beer is forced through, causing it to froth up with tiny bubbles. Allows you to form a head on a pint of bitter without having to add any gas and in theory makes it taste a bit thicker. Referen

They also usually add some gas to the bottles, if I remember correctly, which does affect the taste. Not necessarily for the worse, but it is noticeable. It's pretty obvious in Hobgoblin, but I still like the bottle flavour and it even

Haha yeah there's not a huge Wales contingent on here from what I've seen!

Those days were even still around when I first moved to Cardiff. 90% of pubs only served Brains beers, which are...average at best, and lagers. It was so bad that the Cardiff morris dancing side has had a 30-40 year tradition of piling on a

Rather than adopt the keg, I'd much prefer to see a gyroscopically balanced cask :D Doubt we'll see much increase in alcohol sales on trains again now though. A lot of lines already have a ban on drinking due to so many problems.
