  • That’s a good point and a spelling correction to boot 😂.

    I did add an edit that we also have bicycles / motorcycles with paramedics if speed is of the essence and traffic is poor.

    I also realise that Deansgate In Manchester City centre has now got those bollards too, but we have severely limited the cars that are allowed into the city centre and I must say it’s a lot more pleasant walking around and I say that as someone that used to drive through the city centre myself on the way home from work.

    Edit: I took a picture. This is slap bang in the city centre and traffic is minimal.

    Time of day 14:02


  • This isn’t cars this is people and their culture.

    I am from the UK, a large city too, and we have lots of cars and incredibly busy roads where it’s standstill a lot, but cars will move out of the way for emergency vehicles, you’ll drive on the kerb if you have to.

    Edit: We also have paramedics on motorcycles and bicycles so that they can get there even faster if traffic is an issue. Or in city centres.





  • What is it you don’t understand, perhaps I can guide you.

    Do you have any technical knowledge? Like navigating systems or any programming experience?

    I only ask those as if yes, then watching a couple of videos about docker-compose should be sufficient. Once you have an understanding of what it does you can rely on the docs more then.

    Even asking ChatGPT for an example docker-compose file for what you want would be a great start.








  • I can’t relate to this at all.

    We use windows machines as software developers at work and really have no issues at all. Never had a bluescreen in these two years.

    I use windows at home to play Factorio, Minecraft, and RDR2. Again, never had an issue. No blue screens. I turn it on open steam and play my games then turn it off when done.

    I tried Linux again cause I got sucked in by this echo chamber and that did not go well at all. I explicitly said I don’t want to have to be a nerd in my free time to manage Linux which I was assured isn’t the case. Then one day I turn it on and have no sound and no idea why it just died. I swiftly removed Linux and went back to windows.

    I do use Linux for servers for Jellyfin and stuff and I like it for those things, but me personally have had a better experience using windows and I can’t understand all these people against it.


  • Shit! I love my job as a software developer and my employer is amazing, but I wish they would do this for me. Also ADHD and I have an existential crisis every time I’m on a larger task with little direction.

    I love the small things or when things are spec’d out in to small parts. Currently have to extract this sick calendar my boss coded and repurpose it in an application I am creating for them and man it’s not as easy as it sounds when you get overwhelmed.


  • This is my approach to hobbies. I spent two years kinda learning Spanish n Duolingo and had a 2 year streak, but then I just stopped and wasn’t mad cause the goal wasn’t to learn Spanish it was just something I was interested in at the time and was fun.

    I’m all about journeys and doing what is fun at the time but I’m not forcing myself to finish things if I don’t want to. Maybe I’m broken but I have lots of fun and never get bored.
