Not sure how many of you are aware, but Brisbane pathways suck. Old, lifted and broken sections are everywhere making mobility difficult for all kinds of residents....
I was switching to that Up Bank (by Bendigo), but they straight refuse to let me fund my crypto account, so that’s out because I just want basic control of my own money....
I may just be yelling at clouds here, but it seems to me like Discord is just IRC with pictures added. Or Skype with text added. Whatever analogy it is, what it isn’t is a suitable replacement for a threaded forum like Reddit / Lemmy. Or you know… proper old-school forums like phpbb and invision and what not....
Definitely my experience with discord also. It sucks. Maybe I’m just a grumpy old fart.
Only issue I have with Lemmy is that there isn’t enough of us here from the Brisbane community. Luckily(?) My 3rd party Reddit app is currently still alive so I’ve found myself going back there a bit. I even had another (boost is full Telstra) argument the other day for old times sake
Gold Coast mayor Tom Tate said on Thursday the city could step in to host the 2026 Commonwealth Games after Victoria placed the future of the quadrennial multi-sport event in doubt by pulling out due to projected cost overruns.
Funniest bit of this is that Tate was on holidays. His deputy said that they didn’t want it/it wasn’t feasible or possible. Tate literally flew home to over rule her
Like many I have tried several of the Lemmy android apps. I looked at Thunder and, while I liked the overall look, it wasn’t finished enough to be default for me. Well things have changed. The addition of community icons and a gorgeous profile section got me. I only see it getting better. Thanks dev(s)! Thunder is lightning.
Being on Commonwealth land, the site would be able to accommodate around-the-clock activity without having to comply with state and council regulations, hence BAC’s Skygate precinct having Queensland’s only 24-hour Woolworths supermarket.
It is being reported on social media that a large explosion was heard and felt in surrounding suburbs such as Strathpine, Griffin, Kallangur and Dakabin....

I’ve been posting to multiple communities whatever I find that’s even remotely interesting. I figure at the moment activity is the most important thing for newcomers to Lemmy....
I’ve posted a couple of qps releases and have wondered the same thing.
I don’t see this as being my “role”. I don’t intend to do it long term, but as this community grows, I think it’s great to have others post this kind of content. It generates discussions which is what it’s all about.
I can’t take a photo without looking dodgy (you can see it on their Facebook) but Brouhaha in Baringa (new Caloundra development) has a great setup for kids....
Too early to tell. Have only been on Lemmy for 24 hours, but at the moment strongly leaning towards leaving Reddit for good
Price points haven’t been released but there’s a part of my brain that is strongly opposed to paying for it. I think the dev should probably have just shut down like everyone else

Any suggestions which banks are the least shit?

Hot take: Discord is a piece of shit (aussie.zone)

Found this on my toe after swimming in a lake [Solved: Leech] (lemmy.world)
It was in a small lake in Washington, and I noticed it as I was about to drive home.
