Ufff, the #Apple#iPad advert, so tone deaf for our times.
Wrong on so many counts, celebrating the destruction of human creativity and artistry, and contrary to all the R-principles ... rethink, reduce, reuse, repair, recover, recycle, refurbish, remanufacture, repurpose, reclaim, retrofit, retro-cool, revival, reading the room ...
... all under the heavy, grey-steeled palm of an uncaring machine.
@vriesk ... yeah, will only get a thick cover or case slapped on it, or flex and crack the minute someone sits, having forgotten it on a chair or sofa. Oh whoops. LOLZ.
@vriesk Yes, they should be durable, and pass minimum tests for durability. And they should also be repairable and upgradeable, and pass minimum standards for these aspects too. I think companies like Fairphone and Framework are going in the right direction with this!
@vriesk Agreed! There should be the possibility for both third-party hardware and third-party software! Have you tried installing another browser on iOS?
Thanks to my mate Felipe for persuading me to rock climb after an absence of about 10 years! We did the marvellous 5 pitch Espolon Cerro del Toro outside Motril.
I felt really comfortable apart from the last 4+ slab which stretched my ageing (has-been) ability to it's maximum in my scrambling approach boots. Rock slippers would have been much easier. A nice 60m abseil to finish.
Brought back a lot of happy memories today & proved that there is still life in the old dog 🤣
Depuis quelques semaines sur #Twitter , pas un seul fil de discussion sans son bot "mes nudes dans mon profil". Quand je dis "pas un seul", j'en suis à 100% sur des dizaines de fils de discussion consultés.
Being interested in photography means I don't have a lot of images of myself. That's normal eh? Here's a brilliant one of yours truly though, taken a few days ago by expert @chriswright. Thanks Chris.
I did get a touch of vertigo stood there as the drop the other side was immense 😱
