I'm quite surprised at this to be honest. I saw Patrick outside the Old Vic in London last year when he attended the Theatre Awards, and he looked very frail. Maybe it was a temporary thing that has now got better, but didn't expect to see him in another big movie.


The problem I find is that when these alternative services see how many people are leaving Google Maps and switching to them, those companies will then raise their prices to "remain competitive".

Business is business and if they can see an opportunity to make more revenue, they'll do it, whether it be Google or anyone else. It's just a matter of time.


Some say he is the inventor of bitcoin.


Some say that he sucks the moisture from ducks, and that his crash helmet is modeled on Britney Spears’ head.


100% agree with this post. I get these spam messages all the time and the worst part is it generates a push notification on my mobile. I see the fix to turn it off, but I rely on the functionality of events being added from my other genuine contacts in my Gmail. It should totally be from contacts on your contact list only.


The top comment on that article:

"This site is way better than Perezhilton.com"

Cracked me up.


100% this. Break down the tasks into smaller and smaller chunks, use an app like Todoist to track it. So create a project for each major task, and have all the todo's inside that project. You'll feel achievement as you complete each small task, and within no time you'll find you have completed the project, AKA, one big task.


Any recommendations for something like this that's local-only or self-hosted? I've been on the lookout for such a thing for a while but they all seem to be SaaS web app type things.


I use index cards and a pen! I like to have something that is physically in front of me all the time. It works great.


Paper and pen or pencil or crayon or chalk on paper. Preferably with some color.

Our senses of touch, smell and sound are important and inspiring.


I just keep a text file around that I sync using NextCloud. From what I've seen self-hosted TODO list solutions are generally pretty bad. I tried OpenTasks[1] on Android using NextCloud's DAV backend, but the app doesn't support proper sub-tasks (subtasks are handled as Markdown text in task's notes). And there doesn't seem to be any good Desktop app that that I found that works well (or is cross-platform) either.

Probably http://restya.com/board ? In some aspects like offline sync and list view, it is better than Trello


How would you compare Todoist to Trello? Would you recommend switching?


I think they serve orthogonal purposes (task-tracking vs Kanban project management). There is heavy overlap between them, and you can certainly use one over the other, but their original intent is clear.


What arbie said. Todoist is great for a Todo/task management software, and I use Trello more in a business environment to visually see an overview of current projects and track next steps.


+1 for Todoist.

It's awesome to structure tasks into more and more subtasks.


I still use paper :)


yes - look at LinkedIn people who used to work at Google and where they work now. Try 100+ samples.


This feature was the main contributor to our 80% traffic loss when I was running a news aggregator, we had so much Image traffic. Now they remove it 5 years later. I welcome the change. Too late for me though.


Literally never used the MS Store


I even go so far as to block all requests to MS Store (via winstore.app.exe) with NetLimiter. I also block outlookcommunications, microsoft.photos.exe and video.ui.exe, all of which I never use but they keep wanting to call home every few days).


Why do you stay with a system whose developer has proven to act against your interest?


What's the alternative? And before you offer some obvious answer, remember that we're in the context of a Windows-only game :)


How can you say all reviews that have pictures and multiple paragraphs offer zero value? I have reviewed 100+ Amazon products and go in-depth whenever I can, and always provide value by providing hands on experience of using the products where I think it will help other people looking to buy that product.
