    How very sensible and levelheaded. Most people I think would rush into buying a house and splashing out on luxuries without thinking how they should make that money last and work for them, and suddenly the money’s disappeared and they’re bankrupt.

  • There's a roundabout I use semi-regularly which I feel has ambiguous lanes. The roundabout is the junction between the A38 and the A610 in Ripley, Derbyshire, UK. There's no signs or roadmarkings which tell you which lane to use, so which would you use when travelling in the A610 Ambergate direction from the A610 Ripley? This is the roundabout in question, with the entry and exit marked: ![Roundabout overview](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/a2539112-3cdd-4673-8f2d-3f95e66d1402.png) Here's the entry, with the lanes in question marked: ![Entry lanes](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/a6108faf-b570-4e3a-abfd-5e996c296ded.png) Between the entry and exits in question on this roundabout, there are two other exits - a minor B6441 to Ripley, and the A38 to Derby. There's an added complication that the left lane on the roundabout is for the A610 only: ![A610 only](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/a745db98-7c90-4956-aa61-03148c945b03.png) If I use the left lane, I frequently have people overtake in the right lane, then cut in to the left to exit. To me, it feels more natural to take the left lane and follow it round to exit in the correct lane. This diagram possibly explains what I mean a bit clearer: ![Lane diagram](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/099bb724-01d5-46e6-a705-5110a357b506.png) I've had disagreements with people over this - some say use the right lane as you're going past two other exits and the exit is "to the right of the entry". Some say they use the left lane as it feels more natural, which I agree with. I have understood roundabout lane discipline to be as follows: Left lane for turning left and straight on, right for turning right only, unless signposted or marked otherwise. This entry/exit combination to me seems like a "straight-on" situation, hence why I'd choose to use the left lane. So I put it to you, what lane would you choose and why? EDIT: I wasn't clear when asking, I apologise. I'm asking which lane *on approach to* the roundabout - not which lane *on* the roundabout.

    Yep, it’s called an idempotent key. The server gets a request with a specific key (usually a random guid), stores it and ignores any further requests with the same key. It would be a great addition to Lemmy.

    Version x.x.x was released, why is it not yet on F-droid?

    We have no control over F-droid's build process. This process is automatic and not always predictable in terms of time it takes. If a new version does not appear in F-droid a week after its release, then feel free to open an issue about it and we will look into it.

    Whilst I agree with the sentiment, it's not possible for everyone to use a bike 100% of the time. Infrastructure does help, and I admit my UK city if certainly not very bike friendly, but even if it was it would be nearly impossible as everything is just too far away and/or you can't transport what you need to on just a bike. We still need cars of some propulsion method or another.
