Any Overwatch 2 players? It's free to play!
I'm a 41yo male and like to game in evenings on my xbox. Recently discovered Overwatch 2 and this is the first fps where I don't completely suck! Still learning of course. Anyone else playing it? Would be cool to play it with known people instead of random people...

One thing I really don't like so far about Lemmy in general and this instance in particular...
It's eating up a lot of my time.... ;)

If you recently moved to Lemmy from Reddit, have you dipped your toes in any other Fedi services?
I had heard about Mastodon and was aware of the concept of federated platforms. This is the first fedi service that I signed up for and I was very surprised at how easy it was and how optimistic the vibe was. Afterwards I decided to check out Mastodon, Pixelfed and Matrix. I found this cool website that tracks users accross the...

I made a video on the tides at Mosquito Bay. (youtu.be)
This is a video I'd been wanting to make for a long time, the tides were right for me to paddle up the inlet at low tide, and walk around it at high tide before it got dark. The height difference is a few metres between low and high, the distance is over a kilometer.
We have a chance to build a new community here. How do we avoid the mistakes of /r/newzealand?
Hi all, as with most of you, I'm an immigrant from Reddit. I never used to go on to the NZ or regional subreddits because frankly, I felt very unwelcome and those places were extremely negative....
Jan 2023: New app allows easy identification of all NZ plants, animals and fungi (www.waikato.ac.nz)
This is from a few months ago but really interesting work from some university students that trained a popular machine learning model on data from iNaturalist.nz. The app is pretty good at identifying endemic species. The entire model is installed with the app which means that it works offline.
