So Google are telling me that an update to #Android on #GooglePixel phones like mine will adversely affect the battery life. wtf. Time to upgrade? Any opinions on Google Pixel 8 phones? Can't tell the difference between a 8 and 8a apart from camera.

*sigh* I install Proton on my main Ubuntu box, reinstall the game so it knows about Proton, and it can't see the graphics card - which is using NVidia drivers, not OSS ones. I could waste half an hour trying the Proton experimental version but probably with the same effect.

I attended the ZZ9 AGM earlier today at The Marquis of Cornwallis pub near Russell Square in London. (www.themarquiscornwalliswc1.co.uk).

The ZZ9 (@zz9official.bsky.social) AGM is tomorrow. All are welcome I believe but only paid up members can talk and vote in the official proceedings. There is normally a raffle. Shall I bring these or do you think everyone already has them?

So, I still have a borrowed fannish badge machines and can do large size button badges for a variety of SF or other good causes. I recently had the (good) idea to put my LinkedIn QRCode into a badge so that I don't have to get out my phone and fiddle with it when I am at a techie meetup.
