Someone tried to smuggle 100kg of synthetic drugs into Australia inside a bunch of PC cases
  • Those expanding foam bricks they used to use 10 years ago are really bad for the environment. This is just someone savvy trying to be environmentally friendly.

  • Someone tried to smuggle 100kg of synthetic drugs into Australia inside a bunch of PC cases
  • I’ve never put any thought in to what synthetic drugs are like as heat disappation material, but now I really want to know.

  • Freetube is the best way to watch YouTube
  • Is there anything similar that works on iOS and tvOS? That’s where most of my YouTube viewing is done.

  • Why Australia Has One of the Longest Mountain Ranges in the World
  • It’s not the length, it’s how you use it.

  • It feels wrong
  • I generally say “werwerwer”.

  • Mondays problems
  • Friday evening: I’m going to have such a good sleep in tomorrow.

    Saturday at my weekday alarm time: -wide awake-

  • It's coming back to me
  • Do you yahoo!?

  • YouTube is finally cracking down on third-party apps like ReVanced
  • Background play is bloody annoying if you don't use YT for music. I prefer videos to stop when I switch apps, then resume when I switch back. Now they keep playing.

    And I'm starting to get recommendations of music that I can't remove or tell it I'm not interested in.

  • The MPA has big plans to crack down on movie piracy again
  • Every report on piracy I read points out that the biggest pirates are also the biggest spenders on “legitimate” media, streaming, cinema tickets. This will only increase purchase of such things by a rounding error. It won’t be the money spinner they’re hoping for. It’ll have a more significant effect on viral and organic hype.

  • Happy Easter!
  • Merry Eostre!

  • Australia will never elect a Donald Trump – and it’s due to one national trait[: our culture of not getting too big for your boots]
  • I disagree. We’ve already elected our Donald Trump, and we did so before Donald Trump even became US President. Ours was called Tony Abbott. Good riddance.

  • Let’s make mooning tourist vehicles as normal and Australian as doing a shoey!

    www.abc.net.au 'Get your backside trackside': Hundreds moon The Ghan in territory tradition

    Twenty years after baring their bums for the first time, old-time mooners have been joined by many first-timers to welcome passengers of the iconic tourist train The Ghan as it approaches Darwin.

    Bushfires, floods, droughts, heatwaves. What other climate -related disasters could be on the way? Oh, wait...
  • If only someone saw this coming and tried to warn us. Multiple times. For the last 70 years.

  • ISP throttling VPN?
  • No matter which VPN provider I've used, they've all had periods where things were just slow. Eventually came good as the speeds were reported and their either upped their infrastructure or fixed the problem.

    I've had plenty of occasions where the VPN connection slowed down over time, disconnecting and establishing a new connection put it back to the maximum speed too.

    I haven't been with PIA for years, but it was one of many that I experienced both of these issues. I abandoned PIA when it got bought out by a company that made its money and start via spyware, adware, tracking people & selling PII and any other information they could slurp up. The antithesis of what a VPN company is supposedly all about.

  • Sam Kerr allegedly called police officer a ‘stupid white bastard’, source says
  • If the women were drunk enough one of them threw up in the cab, this being the worst thing they said shows a metric fuck-tonne of restraint and composure on their part.

    Seriously, if a police officer cannot handle THIS being said to them, then why the fuck are they in the police force? You cannot be this fragile and sensitive about things said to you while performing police duties.

    This coming out has just turned the ENTIRE British Police service in to an absolute joke.

  • why aussie TV sucks ?
  • I gave up watching Australian FTA in the late 90’s or early 2000’s. Their treatment of the end-user and the abuser abusee relationship there just wasn’t worth it. So many good shows I just stopped watching because I was sick of their crap and streaming / torrents weren’t a thing yet.

    And before anyone goes “you’re not the customer you’re the product” yada yada, I very specifically said “end-user” earlier, not customer. I know. You’re not telling me anything I haven’t already acknowledged.

    The only thing I’ve watched on FTA since is live sport when there’s no other options, or things via the catch-up apps (mostly ABC & SBS’s).

  • [Community Update] - State of Affairs & Team Update - 2023-06-19
  • making a revised projection that we will have a Gold Master (GM) for 1.0 ready for submission to the App Store on July 1 which will go public whenever Apple decides to approve it.

    As someone just starting to poke at Lemmy, I still consider this good news. :)

  • Cash could be almost gone in Australia in a decade
  • That's about the only thing I use cash for these days myself. Birthday money. The money I tend to receive sits in my wallet until it's time for someone else's birthday. Then it goes in their cards.

    I should mark it or something to see if I then get it back next birthday. :P
