Workers Are Striking at Australia’s Supermarket Duopoly
  • fuck yes, I wish them the best. Working at these places has been an absolute nightmare especially since covid, dealing with abusive fuckheads for so little pay and almost no protection.

  • Corporations
  • Ahh yes Americans and Europeans, the only people who over consume.

  • Pay with Palm
  • All this trouble and they didn't even make the scanner shaped like a hand so you can high five it. Waste of potential.

  • What Are You Working On?
  • I've been working on a bodice block, I know your pain.

  • ESRB plans “facial age estimation” checker for age verification
  • Saw an app try exactly this. It was run by terfs and they wanted to lock out anyone who wasn't a cis woman. Instead it labelled almost every black woman a man and many trans women got through the filter anyway.

  • What Are You Working On?
  • Learning to make, repair and upcycle my own clothes instead of relying of badly made polyester fast fashion that doesn't fit well. Also getting my fitness up so I can bike instead of drive which is difficult because I live in an absurdly hilly area.

  • The developer of Skyblivion, which remakes Oblivion in Skyrim, says they have received death threats
  • I don't think this is it because the only commonality between bethesda fans I have ever seen is calling Todd a liar and hoping he falls into a mineshaft.

  • 'The ticket was for almost $600’: Electric unicyclists demand change to B.C. road rules
  • We should always blame horses first even if there were none involved. The fuckers have been getting off light for too long.

  • Gamer chair
  • yeah well my ass doesn't fit in the booster seat anymore and space is a premium

  • 5 Reminders NOT to Pre-Order Games This Year ~ We used to demand trials before buying before, what happened? ~ Stop Pre ordering Games
  • for some reason indie games still seem to have demos semi-often, especially if you check their itch.io pages.

  • Almost got run over by a backing out car today...

    In front of a bike shop in their parking area! Where I was told to try out the bike I was going to buy! All while I couldn't hear myself think because multiple cars driving on the nearby road had illegally modified their vehicles to be as loud as possible.

    Is anyone else more than a little disappointed that the rampant misogyny, objectification, and "whataboutmen-ism" seems to have followed the reddit migration here?
  • I'm getting frustrated with people who are saying they don't want only fans girls here advertising but still want free porn. So much of reddit nsfw was stolen content, some people are so entitled. If you want free porn the least you can do is let sex workers plug their socials.

  • Epiphany - most people are not qualified to operate a car
  • Reminder that a covid symptom is seemingly permanent terrible spatial reasoning, people were already terrible drivers but they're worse than ever now.

    If you haven't seen his article please look it's SO much worse than you are imagining.

  • What is your opinion on deradicalization/deNazication programs?
  • Wow that's way better than I expected. Guess it makes sense Germany would take that sort of thing more seriously.

  • What is your opinion on deradicalization/deNazication programs?
  • I'd hope they work but I've seen too many "former" nazis get criticized for still holding some terrible views then immediately throw a tantrum and run back to the far-right because they don't actually want to take accountability they want to get coddled by the same minorities they hurt and be told how clever and brave they are for no longer being bigots.

  • What are the bad patterns of Reddit to never repeat on Lemmy?
  • A huge annoyance was that there was already subs for asking sex questions but people found it easier to karma farm in the main ones so they were barely used. Hopefully without karma here that will be avoided.

  • What from reddit do you hope to never see on lemmy?
  • Protestors generally move for emergency vehicles and drivers who call out to them and say they have an emergency themselves.

  • What from reddit do you hope to never see on lemmy?
  • Also autistic people can struggle with sarcasm especially over text.

  • What's a true fact that is so misleading it's borderline misinformation?
  • Its so frustrating when I see other minorities use that argument because their suicide statistics are also typically higher! That's the nature of oppression.

  • What about the rapists? Anarchist approaches to crime & justice

    This was written by anarchist survivors of sexual violence and abuse. It digs into the different approaches to deal with serious harm with the goal of not recreating the same oppressive systems of state “justice”.

    Australia's first public tool library opens in Brisbane and instead of books and magazines, library members borrow power tools, lawnmowers and whipper snippers.

The study, published in Scientific Reports, shows that from the towns of England, Italy, Poland, and Russia to the villages of rural Ecuador, Ghana, Laos, an...

    Quick and dirty guide to hover fly breeding

    what is a hover fly?

    Hover flies are a family of predatory flies that also feed on nectar. They are great in the garden because they are both a natural pest control and pollinator. They are a diverse family found on all continents except Antarctica so the specific native species in your area will differ. They often mimic bees and wasps even though they aren't related.

    How do I get hover flies in my garden?

    Hover flies begin as maggots that feed on decaying matter in stagnant water. To attract them simply take a small container, no larger than a bucket is needed and fill with leaves and water. Add a few sticks so when the larvae are ready to pupate they can escape otherwise they will drown. Occasionally top up the leaves when necessary. Keeping the water covered with a layer will prevent mosquitoes.

    How will I know if it's working?

    The larvae are commonly known as rat tailed maggots and you can identify them by the trademark "tail" (actually a breathing tube). They look freaky but don't worry! They are as harmless as the adults and will stick to their puddle until ready to pupate.

    Where do I put it?

    The mixture will begin to stink as it decays (this is what attracts the flies in the first place) so leave your diy lagoon in an area that is calm, cool and wont bother anyone with it's smell. They will also be attracted by flowers.

    Have fun!

    Quick question

    I've noticed there are some communities that aren't showing up from other instances, even though we are federated with them. Is this intentional? or just lemmy being lemmy. (specifically I was trying to join some sewing based communities so nothing I think would have been banned from here)
