I completely understand and support the decision to cut the ties, even if it is unfortunate that it should be necessary. This is a nice instance and I hope it can stay that way, even for the mods. I have no idea how much work and perseverance it takes to run something like this but I know I couldn't do it. If the people running Beehaw say that it is too much to handle, then we should believe them. Without them, this would not be the nice place it is. I'm on Sopuli myself, but I like the vibe here and would hate to see it destroyed by trolls. Just my two cents. Cheers.

See you there. I laughed way too much at that.
Exactly where I'm at as well. Maybe I'll move to Arch proper down the line, but I see no real advantage with that, for me anyway.
When I was a biomed, I used to handle setup for audio/video in the OR for conferences and education and that sort of thing. It was always sound that was the hardest to get working and sounding good. Video was seldom the problem. You would think that sound is old tech and should therefore be easier, but noo. Well, the face masks on the surgeons didn't help either.
Good to hear. Keep it up!
As a hobby it's probably fine. You shouldn't let it consume you or it will turn you into Gollum and you will likely self-immolate when touched by the evil rays from the great fire in the sky.
I pretty much had to. Burned out completely. Took years to even think about working again. But enough about me, what's up with you these days? :D
Right, your question. First BioMed at a hospital and then tech service for analytics and automation. See my answers elswere in the thread as well.
I see what you mean. I can enjoy making smaller scripts and programs to run some electronics projects but going back as a full time Dev would totally suck the fun out of it. And besides, my skills are seriously out-of-date anyway, not to mention 90% forgotten.
Using Jerboa to post this and I have definitely made editors that had similar quirks in the past.
I saw a documentary of a dude who moved to Alaska and built a hut and lived there for basically the rest of his life. Think he moved up there in like 1930-50 or something. He filmed his life as well. But not everyone will have the skills to do something like that. Inspiring stuff though.
Edit: don't try and find it, though. It is too powerful for mere mortals.
Coming from a job where dev work feels like vacation. Sheesh. Good on you, man.
Edit: if you are a man. Shouldn't assume really.
No, you don't actually have to be a biomed to work as one in Sweden. I have engineering background and I guess I'm pretty technical overall. I actually didn't know there were biomeds at hospitals. I got sort of a test employment through a government program and they liked me so I got to stay.
I remember seeing a device in the cellar at a place I worked in the 90s. It was basically a box with a horizontal slot that had a lever sticking out of it. You could move the lever in and out and to the sides which controlled the pointer. I was told it was a proto-mouse of sorts, but it was just collecting dust so never saw it in operation. Could not have been pleasant to use for any extended period of time. Don't remember if it had buttons to click with. Anyone remember seeing something like that?
