Calling an election or referendum a waste of money is to be against democracy. Why do the media never challenge this

Idk they've made it such that when you press the button to open the door the door will not open unless you press the button again when the train is stopped. At least on the N*Rs. Probably a safety feature or something but I don't like it so it's woke.

Search and favourite a list of #tags to populate your feed while you locate @users. - You can follow Lemmy/kbin communities from Mastodon (e.g. search "@environment@aussie.zone" and follow, posts will come in from that point, including every comment which fills your feed poorly), post back into Lemmy ([there is a specific way to do this](https://hachyderm.io/@maegul/110483509521476095)), and reply to threads also. Federation isn't pretty between Mastodon and Lemmy, it's up to the user if they want to persist. Recommended to have 2 separate accounts for full usability at this point. kbin has "microblogging" built in which is Mastodon "tooting", only one account required if you are a kbin user. The Lemmy instances listed have *some* activity, until Lemmy matures the list may grow or shrink. Please review the communities as you desire and let me know if you find something better or the listed ones have died. **Search Engines for Lemmy:** - https://lemmyverse.net/ - Search by Instance or Community - Click on the 'House' icon to set your 'home instance' e.g. aussie.zone - https://browse.feddit.de/ - https://www.search-lemmy.com/ - using the "Find Communities" search by keyword will find active communities with more matches per word. **Bookmarklet:**  `javascript:(function() { const home = 'aussie.zone'; /*replace this with your local instance's host name */ const url = window.location.href; let community = url.split('/c/')[1]; if( !community.includes('@') ) { community += '@' + url.split('/')[2]; } if( community.endsWith( '@' + home ) ) { community = community.substring(0, community.length - 1 - home.length); } window.location.href = 'https://' + home + '/c/' + community; })();` Click on the above bookmarklet once you've created it and placed on your toolbar (search on how to make one) when browsing another instance's community. It should open up the page where you can subscribe directly from the aussie.zone instance (or change your instance in code above). If "Subscribe" isn't working, ~~"Create Post" and back out immediately~~ click on the community name and reload page, Subscribe should now be clickable (give it a couple of clicks as per Lemmy 0.18). An alternative to a bookmarklet on a desktop or mobile browser, install 'Violentmonkey' and a Userscript such as this: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/469273-lemmy-universal-link-switcher An extension for modern browsers: https://github.com/cynber/lemmy-instance-assistant

I'm developing a program in C++ targeting flatpak, since I'm on an immutable system I'd rather develop for flatpak than try using a container (plus I can't get SDL to open a window in a container anyway). Everything works with GNOME Builder but it's not as nice to use as vscode: less syntax highlighting, doesn't reopen where I left off, can't debug multiple instances (Not to say I don't like GNOME Builder - it's really good and will only get better, it's just slowing me down at this point). I managed to get the flatpak building and debugging from within code, using the vscode-flatpak extension the only thing not working properly is clangd. I am using the meson build system. This is probably a bit of a long shot, but has anyone else tried to do this? BTW I'm not talking about using clangd with the vscode flatpak package

They've run a couple of stories now about small businesses getting ripped off or "duped" in the beauty industry now. I'm not sure I'm meant to feel sorry for them—their entire industry is based on telling women that they don't look good enough.

Personally I believe this is a very poor take

What are my best options for hosting a static site on Australian servers? Previously I was using a normal web hosting service but they don't work very well with static site generators and are usually overpriced for what I want. Ideally I'd like a service like Cloudflare pages or GitHub pages, etc., i.e. there is good integration with git as my site is generated using Hugo.

With so many scams out there, especially now as we face the end of the financial year and the pinned "How to spot a tax scam" post being nearly a year old, I'm going to pin this thread as a place to share advice regarding scams or any new scams you might have noticed. This isn't to say not to post scam related stuff in the main community but to create a place to keep track of scam related stuff which might get washed away over time.

Communities don't get cake days on Lemmy, but looking back at the posts in the Aussie Zone meta community, today 12/06 marks one year since [@404@aussie.zone](https://aussie.zone/u/404) requested the community [be created](https://aussie.zone/post/12143). Since then the top posts this community has had were: 1. At 679 - 9 votes and 200 comments: [YouTube Premium family plan price update ($17.99/month -> $32.99/month!)](https://aussie.zone/post/3638154) (by [@trk@aussie.zone](https://aussie.zone/u/trk) 2.

Thanks](https://aussie.zone/post/253817) (by [@R00bot@lemmy.blahaj.zone](https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/u/R00bot)) I had a look sorting by controversial and I'm quite surprised that the referendum megathread, which bot recruit [@dalekerrigan@aussie.zone](https://aussie.zone/u/dalekerrigan) kept reminding everyone about. Within this first year we also participated in the first ever lemmyvision contest, with our nomination ranking 4th. We've also appointed some extra moderators since the start of the year-[@Fluid@aussie.zone](https://aussie.zone/u/Fluid), [@bestusername@aussie.zone](https://aussie.zone/u/bestusername) and [@eatham@aussie.zone](https://aussie.zone/u/eatham)-who have been doing a great job at keeping conversations on track. What were your favourite interactions and posts on this community over the year? And what would you like to see the community move towards in the years ahead? Thanks everyone for the wonderful year!

What is with dickheads getting light bars on their cars now. I live in a rural area and not right on the road, trying to sleep and then at 12:38am some dickhead's got his light bar on and my whole room is illuminated, and the part of the road he was on... at least a kilometre or two away! WTF are they trying to see that their high beams won't show them? Are they trying to stun wildlife so they can hit them? It's really difficult trying to drive at night now too, if the white head lights on new cars aren't burning your eyes out, you get one of these idiots come along. It's not just SUVs and 4WDs either, I've seen them on hatchbacks and sedans as well. Sorry for the rant - unless you use a light bar in semi-rural areas that is
