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!
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.

Thanks, I don’t think there was a link in the article. I’ll edit it into the description.
With my own money, it would have been some ZX Spectrum budget title. I clearly remember Fantasy World Dizzy being mine and I think I bought it with my own money rather than it being purchased for me, so I’m going to go with that.

That’s a… bit weird.


Due to the reasons mentioned in the previous pinned post
What reasons? What previous pinned post? I can’t see this here or on the crosspost community.
Change them to a different archiving provider
Any recommendations?


There’s a new one of these coming. I forget the name of it, except it’s the year again (maybe Twenty Twenty Six as presumably it’s set in the current year)


Useless prick is the point! A lot of the humour comes from the whole lot of them being complete idiots. I enjoyed it but I can see it’s not for everyone.


I was going to post this but it’s been taken down:
Single tap. I just had it again when replying to another message but it isn’t doing it on this one.
Swipe typing is on.
Gboard keyboard.
Who needs Q, Z and, erm, A, anyway? Nobody!
Literally just tapping anywhere on any editable text is causing it here. Although actually it isn’t doing it now. Weird.
I’m on 422 - 421 worked fine.
It moves the cursor bit then the highlighting just happens ending at that point instead!
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!


In that case I can only apologise.


Close. Banana and toffee.
It’s not great, weird American invention I think.
