Bought myself a Steam Deck before all the RAM in the world gets bought up for sentient weapons.

I went for a walk in this glorious weather and feel fucking amazing. Like a new person. I'm so energised that I'm going to do some life admin that I've put off for months. You should all try it some time.

Britain Lost 14,000 Third Places. They Were Called Pubs. Is Your Local Next? How private equity reshaped the local and the postcode tool that shows the pubs most at risk.

My brother wanted a London pub crawl. The result? My new Substack post: "Britain Lost 14,000 Third Places. They were Called Pubs. Is Your Local Next?" How private equity reshaped the local, which pubs are most at risk and most importantly what to do about it.

With all of this "UK colonised by immigrants is bad" chat I'm reminded of when someone at work was complaining that the UK was an EU colony. Another person replied "Oh being a colony is a bad thing? I thought colonies were great? Britain loved making colonies!"

It quickly shut them up.

Ah nice! It's such an amazing feature. Controlling multiple computers from just one really blew my mind when I first realised it worked.

Universal Control: Use a single keyboard and mouse between Mac and iPad - Apple Support Use the keyboard, mouse, or trackpad of your Mac to control up to two other nearby Mac or iPad devices, and work seamlessly between them.

I'm not sure if this feature is on Windows, so I'll assume you're on macOS. You can also set them physically near each other and move the mouse from one screen onto the other on the other device. support.apple.com/en-us/102459

There's quite a deep sea floor in parts and the Army dumped a load of munitions there after WW2.

Another big obstacle would be getting the DUP to agree to doing anything in cooperation with the Irish government.

Looking forward to the railgun that shoots it back and forward across the Irish Sea.

If you DM me on this app I have to switch my VPN to another country to read it, to "protect children", but I spent my lunch break reading about a threesome between Andrew, Epstein, and a 14 year old which apparently multiple security services knew about for years. My patience is officially done.

Which UK MP is going to bring forward a parliamentary debate/new legislation around Palantir's grip on our public services and in context of the latest round of Epstein files, how those contracts were put in place?

I've been replaying Dishonored and had forgotten how great it is. I enjoyed it the first time round but this time I really took it all in and absolutely loved it.

I think the problem is then bundling a web renderer into a game engine. But I did meet someone once at a meetup who worked on game UI and he said that big studio groups like Sony + EA had settled on using React in Unreal Engine, a bit like React Native.

My best memories of 6th form college was when we found a version of Unreal Tournament that could be shared via pen drives and had LAN games during lunch.
