  • The book is number one on Amazon. Best way to win.

  • Commonwealth Games
  • 2036? Found the optimist =).

    Do you believe Lemmy/Mastodon can become mainstream and fully replace their centralized counterparts?
  • I've been using Solid Explorer for years. There's likely something better now, but it's served me well.

  • I don't blame the actors for taking the paycheck, but man was it painful to watch.
  • "Maybe even better than Temple of Doom"

    They should put that on the posters.

    Damned with faint praise, indeed.

  • Reddit's API protest just got even more NSFW
  • The migration from Digg (and /. beforehand) didn't happen overnight. Also subreddits didn't even appear until 2008. These things take time, and that's good. Lemmy is not ready for mass adoption, but it will be soon enough.

  • Voting because someone else does or doesn't vote this way or that is sport not politics. I would hope that most people take it far more seriously.

  • What from reddit do you hope to never see on lemmy?
  • Megathreads were an improvement over the same story being posted a hundred times (not an exaggeration).

    With regards to the question: the bigotry, the boy's clubs, the tactics to deliberately exclude some members from the conversation. I doubt Lemmy will avoid them wholesale, but maybe they will be curtailed and limited to a few instances.

  • The car that killed Holden in Australia
  • A mate from high school wrote off three Toranas in his first year of driving. One on the day he got his licence. He was still alive ten years later, surprisingly.

  • I heard that lemmy will upvote anything. This is literally just a can of fucking beans
  • My wife insists the English recipe ones have vinegar in them.

  • Well at least we can all get iphones now
  • You should definitely give iOS (and other options) a go. Presuming you can afford to be wrong. It might suit your lifestyle. Then again, it might not. Never be afraid to try new stuff.

  • Anyone else keep pressing the RIF app out of habit?
  • No, I hid mine before the protest began. I'd move my lemmy app to the place RIF was in, but I haven't found one that actually works on both my (old) phone and my instance.

    Edit: found one that works.

  • Five reasons for the RBA to keep rates on hold
  • Australian mortgages are usually over a 30 year term.

  • Hey guys I'm moving to Perth next week what area should I live in that's safe and fun?
  • Don't forget endless photos of the CBD from South Perth or Kings Park.

  • Bikes and beer, name a better combo
  • Now I understand why I prefer radlers. Life makes so much more sense now =).

  • Do you think reddit will survive this?
  • Agreed. I've used forums and BBSes, /., Digg, Reddit and now Lemmy. The world moves on. While the URLs change, the content remains the same.

  • Coalition could lose 35 seats as younger Australians not shifting towards conservatives as they get older
  • TBH I don't see a way back for them.

    They've wedged themselves with this culture war nonsense. They'd need to wind that back to become popular enough to form a majority, but that would drive away their 'core' voters. I suspect they'll soon be relegated to the electoral effectiveness of One Nation. Especially as the media landscape continues to evolve.

    I wouldn't be surprised if we see someone like the Greens forming the official opposition within a few years.

    Who are you, roughly speaking? What industry are you in? What is it about your scene that made lemmy pique your curiosity?
  • I murder people in new and interesting ways for the entertainment of others.

  • What distro(s) do you use?
  • Currently, mint and debian.
