I created a London community if you folks want to check it out!
  • You can't yet. You'll have to go to the site to open the link. It's a bit of a bug at the moment, on top of the fact that linking in the fediverse is a bit crap for now. They're working on making it easier to link between instances at the moment.

  • Monday Musing
  • The heats not too bad with a fan tbf. As for what I'm doing today is work, but busy work as they don't really have a project for me to get on with since I finished this one faster than expected, and the next bit is delayed.

    But otherwise sleep has been a pain as this year the hay fever seems to have activated my asthma which is fun. Oh and I have massive blisters and raw skin because Dr. Martens are way worse to break in than I anticipated.

  • What subreddits would you like to see replicated on the Fediverse?
  • If you're using jerboa then I'd recommend just going to a web browser and following the links their. Linking throughout the fediverse isn't quite optimal yet. I did hear there was a change proposed to the UI to fix that at least on the web, jerboa would need an update after that I imagine.

  • Lauren Boebert says the Pentagon sees her as a "security threat"
  • Sorry so much insane shit here. Firstly she's using a made up report by some random bloke on a conspiracy site (edit: which I'm pretty sure is called trailmix, so I think they're nutty) to substantiate her tweet, sure fine, pretty normal shit at this point.

    But next she says that bud light and target are losing $27 billion over their LGBT stuff, which like, where does she get that from. That cannot be true whatsoever.

  • Le Mans results are in!
  • Really ready good race in the early parts. I'm a bit unhappy that Porsche didn't win (or even keep a car on the lead lap) but it's been a great first le mans for the reinvigorated HyperCar class. And I've finally seen someone other than Toyota win me mans!

  • Leclerc hails 'amazing' Vasseur for Ferrari changes
  • I don't think we can really draw a conclusion on whether vasseur has done a good job until next year. He hasn't had a chance to direct a car from the start yet, and Ferrari isn't really in a competitive position so any strategy screwup isn't going to be as noticeable.

  • Star Trucker: Elite Dangerous meets American Truck Simulator
  • Honestly based on my experience with ets2 and ats I don't think there's a lot missing from elite. Maybe just a requirement that you sleep/rest every 8hrsish, but it's a real time game so you're probably going to sleep reasonably often irl anyway.

  • F1 seeks $40m in public money for Vegas Grand Prix
  • My understanding is that this kind of thing is very common in the US as it provides incentives for their sports franchises to remain in the city instead of moving elsewhere. Unlike in Europe (the UK at least) where teams tend to fund their own stuff as it's essentially verboten to move towns (MK Dons is still disliked for that and it required an entire comission to figure out if you were actually allowed to do that)

  • What are your must-see races
  • Spa, Silverstone and Singapore. Why Singapore? Well before I started watching F1 I was playing the F1 racing games in like 2011 and Singapore was my absolute favourite circuit to drive, I still enjoy playing it now actually.

  • how/when does RB dominance end?
  • It's the same thing as with mercedes domination, and red bull domination before that. They've found a solution to the rules that works really well and they have improvements that they are finding, although they're going to hit the incremental returns wall sooner. I don't know if they're going to be properly caught by 2025, don't forget that mercedes weren't caught by 2016, which was a year before the new wider cars were introduced, you had to wait until 2021 and a chassis freeze + nerf for that to happen.

    Mercedes has obviously had to go back to the drawing board and hopefully understand their car better now so should be able to get closer next year. Aston could stay in the top spots which will be good. Ferrari have way too many resources to be kept down for long, but obviously their internal culture seems to need a rework, and I wouldn't put them in a championship hunt as they are now.

    We'll see what the new engine regs have in store but it's not a massive change in some ways so it might not affect much unless someone completely shits the bed.

  • A "supervolcano" in Italy last erupted in 1538. Experts warn it's "nearly to the breaking point" again.
  • While Campi Flegrei — which means "burning fields" — may be closer to rupture, there is no guarantee that this will actually result in an eruption, the study concluded.

    Pretty standard conclusion for studies like this. There's signs of activity but we can't actually predict with certainty. Close to eruption could mean tomorrow, could mean hundreds of years, could mean a new volcano is forming. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
