Imagine my excitement when Flickr trailed that something big was on the way. A new app? Some great improvements to the website? Who could tell? How exciting!

No, it's a photography festival in Minnesota.

I wonder what percentage of people paying for Flickr annually are, like me, thinking, “£74 is too much for something I rarely post to, but I feel held hostage by the 20 years’ worth of old photos I’m hosting on it.”

Every year I wonder what to do, and never reach a conclusion.

If you want to hear from a lot of random men in a hurry, advertise a broken lawnmower on Facebook Marketplace on a Sunday.

Using vim/neovim makes you so much more productive!

Regarding the government's consultation into banning under-16s from social media, Liz Kendall went on to say, "Let me be clear, I am against infinite scrolling. I have always said that products like React have no place in modern society. Today I am standing up for the British workers who manufacture the pagination links and full-page refreshes that hard-working families rely on."

Two band-related Facebook groups with good repetitive names I've seen:

- Teenage Fanclub Fanclub
- Life Without Life Without Buildings

There must be a few similar ones?
