If you were looking for a reason not to go into Glasgow City Center tomorrow, the potential risk of shite in the air, bus/rail/road disruption and it being Monday are all valid excuses to not go in, or work from home.

Take your pick.

Unfortunately it appears to have spread to the surrounding buildings.

In case anyone isn't aware yet, keep away from Glasgow city centre if you can at all. The train station is up in flames and it doesn't seem to be slowing down at all. If you're travelling through the city, go around instead or delay your plans. McGill's buses is taking existing train tickets.

Only one way to find out

A prompt on opening the Sky News app explaining that you will soon need a free account to use the Sky News App. The prompt provides sign in, account creation and a temporary skip button.

I think what you mean is “You’ll soon be uninstalling the Sky News app”.

Not everything should need an account to use. This doesn’t protect anyone nor prevent scraping so at best it’s an excuse to add invasive profiling.

Meanwhile nearby (going by the sky).

Yep, made it back alright - the journey was pretty uneventful besides a Tebay pie, a few pit stops and one diversion.

Definitely quite sleepy now…. Zzzz….

Note to self, driving home from Heathrow to Glasgow maybe wasn't the brightest idea... That said it wasn't anywhere near as bad as I expected.

So ScotiaCon, I had a good weekend but honestly it was in spite of the con.

The events were of no interest and really just got in the way of seeing my friends. The social side was good, but it's painful to watch my friends burn themselves out for an event that doesn't care for them in return.

So, rest of the internet. Welcome to the hell that we've been enduring for the last god knows how long.

You'll want to catch up on Online Safety Act, the utter disaster it's been, and probably look up how to contact your local political representative. #discord #OnlineSafetyAct

Never coded for the possibility the system could fail?

For now, mostly having enough knowledge to run a stack and fix it if it falls over. Enough to not be dangerous when I come into contact with a production system.

Doing my best to learn several platforms as quickly as possible starting with Kubernetes. I'm a few sessions in so far, but thought I'd ask if anyone has pointers for how to study/focus better?

I think because TC blocked them, the quote/repost link broke which nukes the conversation thread. I got a few errors but it popped back up without the TC linked post in it.

I'd generally question the credibility & competence of anyone who cites Gemini as a source for anything. Seemed like a bad faith argument from someone with a vested interest.

Interesting choice of optics for someone working in that industry with his company details publicly posted.

Game has been chronically mismanaged for a looong time. It’s spent the last few years as a glorified funko pop store. There were many alternatives they could have chosen but they went for top potential margins over all else.

VPNing into the UK so I can enable SFW mode while I’m on holiday. I guess that works?

Which app and can I have?

Yesterday was an adventure! Niagara Falls were beautiful!

Banjo-Kazooie Recompiled let’s go!

They popped out an ad on Bluesky but they’ve pulled it down again. 🤔

No. This isn’t it. Do better @mrsleather.bsky.social.

This community cares about the artists in it. Are you really that out of touch with your customers that you’ve forgotten who they are?

Everyone else, give your money to those in the community who’ve actually done the work to deserve it.

Disappointing to see @cellblock13la.bsky.social and @mrsleather.bsky.social selling incredibly obvious A 1 art on their apparel.

Like dudes, do you know how many amazing and affordable artists would’ve loved to work with you and your resources? Our community deserves better 😕

I realise this is an exceptionally niche reference, combining two relatively small and separate parts of the internet, but if you found and enjoyed this then posting it was worthwhile.

Good choices! Hope you’re enjoying the unseasonably mild Scottish weather!
