Can anyone help me find a novel I enjoyed years ago, set in a village on the rocky Cornish coast?

The main character had come to live there and finds himself drawn quietly into the community. He owns a small boat, moored on a river that opens into a bay which is guarded at the sea-edge by dangerous rocks where ships have been lost, and where one historical tragedy in particular is scored into local memory. Eventually, there's the need for a rescue to be attempted.

Anyone know it?

@games What demos did you try today? | DAY 5

Greetings Flamboyant Flamingos (I'm running out of nouns and adjectives starting with F) of the Fediverse, it's the 5th day of the , and for me, unfortunately, the last, weekend duty calls, and I won't be able to give proper time to any other demo, so consider this last batch of impressions as my farewell to you all, until the next time

@games Wild Bastards

Procedurally generated FPS, from the creators of Void Bastards

The neon/cowboy/scifi setting works, the shooting is way slower paced than I imagined, the unique abilities for the characters are interesting, and the fact that you're constantly chased and need to pick your battles carefully gives a nice tension to the whole.

The demo definitely left me wanting to know more about this project, I'll take a good look at it in the months before its release

My wife and I had the "Friends" talk again today.

We're both getting on in years. She's older than me and she's worried that if she goes before me (not imminently.. 20 to 30 years at least I hope) I'll be on my own without friends.

I keep telling there's a difference between being lonely or being alone.

I don't really have a social life outside of my wife and her friends (and I consider them HER friends rather than mine) but that's fine for me

@DoctorDisco

I love my alone time, and I would feel very much like you are if someone kept emphasizing to me that I need to go make friends.

I don't know how I would feel being alone for an extended period. I've been alone for 2-3 weeks and not felt particularly lonely within that time period - but I also knew my wife was coming back.

My very small social network (2-3 close friends) is almost exclusively online. When I don't talk to those people regularly, I feel lonely. That makes me think that socializing online is enough to fend off the loneliness, but I'm not entirely sure.

Honestly - you know yourself better than anyone else. If you've given it some thought and concluded that it's not important to you, and you don't feel like you're missing anything, that's perfectly okay and valid.

I am by nature very solitary. Always lived alone and very happily. The lockdowns for me were a dream and heaven
However, as I get older and with only a couple of nieces left to call my family and virtually no support network I am conscious I may have to change my ways somewhat and begin to work on that a little.
Just not entirely sure how yet.

I'm a reporter looking to interview freelancers who have seen demand for their work go down -- or shift -- in the wake of ChatGPT and all the AI image generators.

This is for a story about how freelancers, specifically, have seen demand for their labor change as use of AI has spread.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

@mimsical Your post ⬆️ could be interesting for the group @writers and for - I remember they already talked about the problem of fakes as a hard concurrence for their real books.

Is the testability of a theory essential to good science or is there room for more unconstrained exploration of ideas? @thetransmitter looks at whether this might be the case in relatively young fields like neuroscience.

mycelium (fungi) create expansive networks between themselves, soil, and plants. they communicate, between themselves and the plants that support them, to ensure their habitat remains safe and both they and the plants remain healthy and fed.

meanwhile, we let people starve and go without housing, and we can't even manage universal healthcare.

conclusion: humans are less civilized than fungus. 🍄

gif from Super Mario Bros. movie (1993) of Mario (Bob Hoskins) holding a mushroom and saying, "Trust the fungus."
