  • Oh I see. Most of Australian cities are actually suburban and have had wider footpaths than necessary, as well as parking buffers. It’s trivially easy to just convert one side into a protected bike lane.

    I still argue that in a lot of urban areas where the road has swelled to its natural limit, depending on the road, it can be good to reduce the road by one lane and add a protected bike lane. But this is situational. Not every road needs a bike lane. But there should be bike lanes every so often, so people can safely get close to their destination without bothering motorists.

    It’s too much of a mental simulation to imagine how reducing car lanes becomes a benefit to those that must drive because of a reduction of traffic and potential improvement to overall flow.

    Fair enough. I agree that reducing a road by a lane can improve congestion, it isn’t always the case, and isn’t a simple sell.









  • What part of all this is toxic? Who said I don’t have hedonistic tendencies?

    I watch porn. I just waste several hours a week on it. Trust me, I’m going to keep watching porn. I just want to timeblock it a little better, improving my relationship with it.

    Maintaining this kind of lifestyle will likely result in burnout sooner or later.

    Which ones exactly do you think contribute to burnout? Because as I read through it, I can’t think of a single one that does. Maybe journaling if you do it every single day (I don’t).



  • Docker in and of itself is not the problem here, from my understanding. You can and should trim the container down.

    Also it’s not a “whole nested computer”, like a virtual machine. It’s only everything above the kernel, because it shares its kernel with the host. This makes them pretty lightweight.

    It’s sometimes even sometimes useful to run Rust or C++ code in a Docker container, for portability, provided you of course do it right. For Rust, it typically requires multiple build steps to bring the container size down.

    Basically, the people making these Docker containers suck donkey balls.

    Containers are great. They’re a huge win in terms of portability, reproducibility, and security.



  • This doesn’t necessarily mean they’re not being impartial.

    If a side’s position is the truth, they’re going to support impartiality, because they want the truth to be spread, which supports their side.

    TikTok is probably about to start moderating heavily in favour of a pro-Israel/anti-Palestine bias, just like other Western social media platforms. It’s possible that all a startup would have to do is not do this to secure funding from Palestinian investors.

    My only question is whether they’ll allow progressive types on their platform long-term.




  • Things that helped;

    • Blocking Lemmy and Reddit on my phone, and limiting time browsing the News
    • Delete social media apps from the phone
    • Switching from diet sodas to just cold water
    • Reducing coffee from 4 a day to 0-1 a day
    • Get diagnosed for ADHD and get on Vyvanse
    • Eat high fibre, starting the day with oats/fibre
    • Meditating
    • Journaling, with weekly review of how I progressed towards my goals
    • Cutting back on smoking weed to once every other month

    What I’m still working on;

    • Cut down on time browsing porn. I’ll probably binge porn for an afternoon once a week or two. Still too much.
    • Consistency in the gym. I’ve had a lot of life altering events happen recently, so I’m trying to get back on the ball.
    • Just vegging out on the computer while at home. I should be doing things like writing, reading, or exercise. But instead I sit here and type out long comments while my meds kick in. :)
