The tree cover in Sydney's Hyde Park is so lush and cool on a hot day.
(And yes, to everyone reading this from interstate or overseas: I know naming the big park in the Sydney CBD "Hyde Park" was not exactly a creative choice.)
(I'll also refrain from making the obvious jokes about Sydney's asbestos crisis.)
Gotta love those English settlers.
“We are going to have a park here, what shall we call it?”
“Hyde Park!”
“But, Hyde Park is in England.” "Yes, but I can’t bring that one here, so let’s call this spot Hyde Park."
They did the same thing in Perth. There’s a Hyde Park here, also. Ours is also going to lose a fifth of its lovely trees in the near future.
So I'm currently toying around with NeoCities, and decided to trial it by building your classic mid '90s Geocities/Tripod/Angelfire pastiche website.
Some of the most important elements are already in place.
Tile background? Large font? Heading in bright pink with a shadow? Unusual colour choices? Random cat gifs? Under construction gif? Check! Check! Check!
In the true spirit of the '90s DIY web, some more pages (including the links page) are coming soon.
(I'm thinking of adding a page dedicated to either Britney or a nu-metal band.)
My parents bought one of the Commodores that were driving VIPs around the games. A Special Olympic edition Commodore. They sold that car over 10 years ago. In fact the car they replaced the Commodore with has also since been sold.
The reason for Android's Notification system being better than iOS, is solely due to the ability to turn off individual aspects of an application's notifications.
Google, the poor multi-billion dollar scrappy startup that maintains Android, made a payment app that has one notification setting, "Google Pay". So all the ads, promotions, everything.
3rd party apps like PhonePe & Paytm have a better system.
This thread prompted me to look into the Wallet notification settings. There was a setting where Google could send you notifications. I just turned those off. I don’t want them, but I also can’t remember ever getting one.
I don’t really understand what the controversy is about. If an app abuses its notifications permissions to send me spam, I disable it. The post is right, granular notification settings in Android are great. I carry both android and iOS around every day and iOS notifications just kind of build up and periodically get cleared all at once. Too much noise in there. The android notifications are things I actually care about and want to be notified about in a timely fashion.
Welp, it's been nice here so far, but there's no mobile app for kbin and it's erroring out more often than not. That's why I'll be switching to lemmy (for now). Bye!
(P.S.: If, or when, Ernest makes kbin more stable and an API is available, I'll consider switching back. But until then, I'm ultra980 on lemmy.world, if anyone cares.)
That’s a lot of posts. I don’t have a strong opinion either way, but that bot would totally take over the community if it started tagging everything here. Is that really what everyone wants?
I was picturing something more like “This week’s ladder” and posts for matches.
