Wow. American police really are just an execution and cleanup crew. Just have a chat and compliment someone who is accused of being a danger on their weapons, ignore the victim begging them to stay and help, and then blame the victim and lie.

Lol. "No one is playing our games, better raise prices". Genius.

Not exactly niche but I'd like to see some active gardening and diy communities. The existing ones aren't very active.

Not just bodies. When working around flood waters its recommended to wear hazmat gear because the water is contaminated by human waste from septic tanks, dead animals, petrol, oil, various poisons and fertilizers, chemicals from stuff like paint, etc.

Probably could be cleaned but even for agri use it would be crazy expensive.

Mastodon has a good solution for this were the user can choose between continuous scrolling updates and manually updating the feed. Would be good to have a similar option here.

I'm leaving everything to a wildlife conservancy. Heres some info:

Australian Wildlife Conservancy

WWF

Heres some sites that rank charities reputations (maybe google "charity reputation ratings" for more localized info):

Charity Navigator

ChangePath

It is but the FOSS community and projects like the Fediverse and increasing decentralization will go a long way to countering monetisation and the capitalist mindset

Leafsnap - an excellent plant identification app. Can id from a photo of a flower, leaf or bark.

WoW, XBL and Eve are some examples

Subscriptions to online vs offline games is the major difference from now and back then.

I used to pay a subscription to play WoW and Eve because alot of the game runs on the game company's hardware, which requires maintenance and upgrading periodically.

Single player games that have no reason to connect to the internet other than for updates should not be locked into having a continuous connection to authentication servers and there is no reason to pay a continuing subscription for the game, other than the company's greed.

They should release decent DLC, expansions, etc if they want to keep milking the same title (or better yet, invest in some new IP instead of swapping franchises like trading cards)

He's not the messiah. He's a very naughty boy!

Drought. When you live in the bush and only have tank water for everything, drinking water comes before showering/bathing. When things are bad, shower once per week and use a bowl of water and wash cloth to freshen up the rest of the time. Still end up with a smell though. You can smell the drought on the people in a rural areas when you go into town.

Yeah I'd love to have anything near 100Mbps. Currently get 12Mbps on a good day, usually around 6Mbps. This is after spending thousands of dollars to upgrade the connection last year. Australian internet is fucked.

I liked using KanBoard. Its simple and runs well inside a docker container.

I use an Odroid loaded up with CoreElec ( a version of Kodi ).

  • It connects via HDMI
  • can be controlled with a normal remote control via HDMI-CEC
  • can connect 4 USB devices (including a USB hub)
  • no need for a constant internet connection
  • Tv and movie database info is downloaded once and stored, not retrieved as needed
  • Has played every file format I've thrown at it
  • Easy to use interface
  • FOSS and no ads

They are also trying out old-school sail ships

Rio Tinto is moving to solar (and some wind) here in Australia for its aluminum refining and smelting operations. Would be good if the same could be done for steel too.

I've got >500hours in Timberborn on Ubuntu. Runs flawlessly and never had an issue.

They do that here in Australia too (probably better than the USA) but there are way more people seeking placement in aged care homes than there are beds available. Waiting times are in the years and so people end up on the street. Especially with the way rent and cost of living is these days. Government pension doesn't pay enough to rent anywhere.

This Slowcooker Lentil Soup tastes great and freezes well.

Mulholland Drive is total garbage

Looks interesting. I'll check it out.

How easily/quickly are plants identified on it? Leafsnap usually only takes a minute or so and has id'ed around 90% of what I've thrown at it.

But I do like the idea of tracking more than just plants and contributing to data gathering for science.

Edit: yep iNaturalist is much better. The search is about the same but its prioritizing results based on location is a good feature.

This site has a good comparison: https://privacytests.org/

True for most unless you have a mango tree growing in your yard. Then you have more mangos than you know what to do with. Kangaroos, cattle and horses like eating them though.

I've noticed the periodic deluge of updates too. I imagine that lemmy is pulling updates at set intervals, causing this. Could be a bunch of reasons to do things this way but it's not ideal.

Here's the ABC news reporting

Police say no indication of terrorism at this stage.
