@renbymon The year is 2034. The Linux command "man" is now distributed as a Docker image. To find out how to deploy it, you have to join a Discord server, the client for which is also distributed as a Docker image.

Everytime I look up advice/details of how to do something on Linux and the project/guide doesn't explain what to do, but instead has a docker image, my resolve to never use docker increases a little bit more.

I get why docker exists and I'm not saying that it's not useful but wow I really do not want the question "How do I do x" to be answered with "Use this docker image"

UKpol, Trans rights. 

So, the current PM wants to lower the voting age to 16. Which is great, defintiely in support of that.

A 16 year old can, currently, also:
- Drink wine, beer or cider with a meal in a restaurant.
- Legally have consensual sex.
- Get married with parent’s permission.
- Get a licence to drive a moped.
- Claim benefits.
- Open a bank account.
- Get a full-time job.
- Join the Army.
- Choose to leave fulltime school education.
- Choose what they want to study for their future career.
- Get tattoos and piercings.

And yet, apparently, 16 year old isn't old enough to know if they're trans?

thinking i might have to redo our battery % calculation… 8 hours after hitting ‘20%’ this one is still going lol

@fatedfox I remember that I used Freeserve for a while and then went onto Telewest cable sometime in the early 2000s before moving to Sheffield.

@fatedfox Ahh there I was misremembering and thinking that BT was privatised in the 90s ^^;

@fatedfox @fatedfox Did BT have an ISP service prior to being privatised? It had been by the time I was able to get online!

@fatedfox Honestly I don't think I'd have a problem with a government run telecoms company ala "Great British Railways"

This weekend is the Belgian Grand Prix - a firm favourite on the calendar. The track can be a bit confusing with many different names given to the corners over the years. Here's the most recent names you'll hear during commentary.

Many thanks to Nyte Cheetah for uncovering Turn 18's name.

@mattcen I find it bizarre that a community that finds the importance of radios coming with schematics completely ignores the idea of open source

@fatedfox I had seen this when searching but I've found docker to be pretty confusing/my brain can't parse it well, so had discounted it. I'll keep it in mind though, thank you! :)
