Police find human remains, gas bottles after Murrumba Downs house fire
Murrumba Downs residents reported hearing an explosion that afternoon, shortly before the Nambucca Close home burned to the ground.
> "My information I have been provided is that the male person has had some challenges and current pressures in life, and he has made some comments about that," he said.
Sounds like a potential suicide?
Bit of a shame for car enthusiasts. There are not many tracks around SE QLD.
However, the changing landscape in the motor industry, not least of which is the rise of electric vehicles, meant the economics of such a track no longer stacked up.
This doesn't make much sense. EVs can also be driven on a track. I'm guessing the real reason for stopping development is general economic concerns.
This is so fucked. What's with all the knife crime lately? Is it increasing or is it just being reported more?
Agree with this. The old sub seemed to have a massive influx of users from /r/Australia which decreased the overall quality of discussion i feel.
If I make a post on here saying "the sky is purple", am I spreading disinformation?
Contrived example obviously but this seems like very far reaching legislation.
The news for me is that they still had product development staff in Australia
Having worked in government for a brief stint, I can't bring myself to watch this show. It's just too real. Gives me flashbacks.
Not me. For me it's half a matter of principle, but I'm also liking the fact that I don't waste as much time doomscrolling
This sounds like a poor man's Welsh rarebit https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welsh_rarebit
Inundated with applications...just like those houses.
I'll see myself out.
I'm done. Steve Huffman's comments have cinched it for me. The guy is a prick and doesn't give a shit about users in the slightest. I'm also welcoming the chance to disconnect from the mindless meme scrolling.
Oh haha yes I have seen Mean Girls, now I get it. Well I'm right here with you trying to make fetch happen so I guess we'll both be Gretchens(?!)
I don't know who Gretchen is, but I appreciate the posting activity!
I think the fault lies squarely in the hands of telcos. They're meant to send you an SMS or call you to confirm any port before it happens. If they're not following those rules they should be held liable.
On another note I wish banks and other financial institutions would provide other 2FA options in addition to SMS. It's just crazy that I have better security tech on my Steam account than my bank account.
"Hot" post sorting works differently here than on Beehaw
I'm not super familiar with how linking communities works here but I'll try my best.
If I browse the "technology" community on beehaw, it is quite active. If I sort by "hot" I see active posts from 1h ago as of this writing: https://beehaw.org/c/technology/data_type/Post/sort/Hot/page/1
So I am subscribed to that sub here on this instance, but if I view the community here and sort by "hot" the most recent post is from 1d ago. https://aussie.zone/c/[email protected]/data_type/Post/sort/Hot/page/1
But if I sort by "new", I do see those recent posts. So it seems just the sorting is different?
Maybe this isn't a big deal but it gives the impression that a community is much quieter than it actually is.
Been wondering the same thing myself. Personally I will be spending a lot less time on reddit. I've kinda welcomed this forced eviction as a prompt to change my habits, and focus my time on more productive things. Even if that's just actual conversation here, rather than browsing memes on reddit.
So be the change you want to see in the world I guess 🙂
greetings friends
Hey all. I’m a recent reddit refugee and the /r/Brisbane sub is the one I’m gonna miss the most. It would be nice to make this community just as vibrant!
Anyone else here leaving reddit permanently? Or just trying this fediverse thing out?
