I’ve experienced exactly the same with my son. He was in hospital for about two weeks but is now absolutely fine.

Really scary and distressing time, I still get wobbly when thinking about it… but the doctors and nurses will look after him.

I hope you’re doing okay. At least as okay as you can be. Don’t forget to eat and sleep yourself.

Has there been any reviews out yet about how it plays on PS5? I am planning on getting it for PS5 (once I finally finish BOTW) but haven’t seen anything yet about what it’s like on PS5 compared to PC

Hope he’s doing okay, sending some good thoughts!

Same here! Although my partner has no concept of “too cold” so we’ll end up on the beach in the middle of winter too.

Talking to our little boy our plans for the beach are:

Make a smiley face, Find Seaweed, SAUSAGES!

Congratulations! Do you have a name ready or are you going to wait and see what fits once she’s here?

House buying is the absolute worst. I hate it so much…

You have to decide so much, on so little information and time. Hell you can spend longer researching a cheap kitchen appliance than a house.

Even when it’s all sorted it’s not really… not until you finally have the keys.

The only way I could be stay sane was shifting my way of thinking… eventually you will find your home and before long you’ll be making memories in it and will absolutely love your house. Every house you missed on was really a good thing in the end as it will lead you to that one house, your proper home.

Bit early to tell, but I am looking forward to some good evenings planned.

Have a few social evenings this week that are just for me rather than family - (games night, pub trip, a work do etc). Very much needed as I’ve been feeling a tad isolated recently with work.

Just happened to all land on the same week, but they (mostly) kick off late enough that I can still help with the little boy bedtime routine so I don’t feel like I’m shirking parental duties. It wouldn’t really matter , my partner is awesome and would be plenty happy for me to have a few nights “off” - but always better when they dont come with that self inflicted guilt!

WipeOut 2097 was my first WipeOut game and I absolutely loved it. I’ve still got the soundtrack saved on Spotify for when I need a high energy boost.

Work has been crap but as long as I compartmentalise that bit the rest has been lovely.

Have had a really enjoyable (and knackering!) weekend with friends and family.

Exactly what I was thinking.

I mean it is important that this kind of stuff is thought about when designing these but it’s going to be a whack-a-mole situation and we shouldn’t be surprised that with targeted prompting you’ll easily gaps that generated stuff like this.

Making articles out of each controversial or immoral prompt isn’t helpful at all. It’s just spam.

My family as a whole. I’m extremely grateful and happy to have such a good & close family. This includes my direct family, in-laws and friends (who really are official family as god parents now!)

Rereading it may look like I’m advocating for a China / black mirror style morality social point system… oops!

Meant more: if someone is abusive to staff to be that business should exercise their right to refuse to serve that person.

I’ve only had a little bit of retail experience from my teenage days and even with that this just brings back such flash backs. People getting mad at a kid just because the store didn’t have the DVD they wanted or because they’ve been asked to park up at the drive through and wait 5 min for their food.

Personally I think any business owner, especially a home delivery service like pizza, should be firm and quickly blacklist customers who act like this. Delivery drivers put themselves at risk, they are lone workers going to random people’s home. It should be treated seriously.

World would be a lot better if people who treat service workers poorly quickly found that they could no longer get service at all.

Just gave me flashbacks to when I forget my debit card pin.

it was a pin I’d used for years, used it multiple times a week if not every single day

Then one day I went to the cash point and just blanked. Lost it entirely. Poof.

Had to go through the hoops of requesting a new pin and I wasn’t able to get any money out at the time.

Wasn’t really a big deal at all…. But I totally get that weirdness of just banking on something that you had used so many times before without issue. Freaked me out for a while about how my brain could have just randomly deleted that bit of information that had seemed so solid before.

I’m not trying to compare my little inconvenience to your situation but just that you aren’t alone in the camp of suddenly forgetting a password that you’d known for ages.

exactly what I was thinking. That big starting number is misleading at best.

I just finished listening to “how to be perfect” by michael schur. It could be a bit cringe at times but it was a really interesting listen (especially when confecting it to The Good Place)

Definitely got me to think a bit more about moral philosophy and my own choices day to day.

One personal philosophy I try to follow is that I really try hard to think the best of people…. Assume the best rather than the worst.

Most obvious example is when driving: if a driver is going too fast/too slow/not indicating/drifting/hogging the middle lane etc etc…… they probably aren’t trying to be assholes, maybe something in their life is distracting them, maybe just made an honest mistake and now feel bad about it all day because they realise they weren’t quick enough to wave a sorry in the window and so on.

I think a separate community would only be needed if it got too noisy here. At the moment I don’t think there is enough activity to warrant an entirely separate community.

I think for now people should be able to post their questions here for a discussion. If anything that would help more active engagement in this community.

(Just my thoughts on it)

Google is one of the worst offenders, with constant effort to force you to login, sponsored links etc but it isn’t unique to them.

AI (or human) generated rubbish, optimised for SEO is making it harder and harder to find what you actually want. This isn’t entirely new, there has always been a battle but it does seem like now with the AI push they are winning and we (the users/consumers) are losing.

Thank you!

Also like that the iOS app privacy section says:

Data Not Collected The developer does not collect any data from this app

I’ve used it to create a little dashboard page for my home sever - it made a page that displays the uptime, network status, the remaining disc space, links to all my hosted services (including indicators showing if they are online or offline) automatically grabbing the favicon for the links etc

Everything nicely styled and formatted in a dark theme with status colours etc

It did absolutely everything, picked the language added step by step instructions of setting it up even suggestions on styling options.
