Nominative determinism: destiny based on names
I’m not surprised, I’m pretty sure they’re wetland birds too.
Australian white ibises. They’re kinda like the Australian equivalent to a raccoon in the US; they eat rubbish and their roosts stink because they tend to congregate in a single tree and then shit everywhere. But they are quite unique looking birds: long beaks, black heads and white plumage. So the tourists find them quite interesting and the locals call them bin chickens.
Seriously, it’s 2024. Everyone has to use technology now, so the software should reflect that. UX is probably one of the big barriers to widespread FOSS adoption.
As someone who used LaTeX in secondary school, this is definitely not applicable advice to everyone. Great if you’re doing maths or other technical subjects, but superfluous if you’re doing anything else. Doubly so for someone who isn’t a great typist.
Can’t remember what the article was, but it was a local one for an area I don’t live in (I think it was a Canadian one). Anyway, ate the onion in a large discord server I had just joined. I was mostly just trying to become part of the community. Nobody corrected me for a couple of hours until some smug bastard said something along the lines of “…at least I know it’s a satiric publication.”
Development approval, required by a council before you build something
Fun fact: you don’t need a DA for these*, so they are a hell of a lot cheaper to install. *Subject to jurisdiction
I know a guy like this. He’s a great guy, very competent, gives up his time for his community. Drives his Audi like a cunt though.
Surely you’ll get terrible chromatic aberration. That’s got to be the only reason it’s never been made commercially available.
I’d say AM radio is a better safety feature for Australians at least, since the ABC broadcast emergency warnings via their AM stations.
Now there’s a kind of open relationship I can get behind!
Sorry, I heard asbestos was toxic
Lemmy is like Reddit, but with an even greater concentration of Linux and FOSS nerds, so the likelihood is extremely low.
Yeah, combo is where it’s at in terms of field serviceability. I pretty much always have a flathead on hand, but very rarely have a torx but set, Allen key, or Robertson close at hand if I’m in the field.
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
I’ve found work that I love. Only problem being is it’s freakin voluntary.
Hey, I’ve heard this one before!
I feel like Australia did this to the field hockey world. North-western European countries like Norway and Denmark seem to love the sport, but we had the top spot for quite a few years. Barely anyone in Australia gave a single shit. Because everyone plays soccer, rugby, cricket or Aussie rules. Kinda sucked as a hockey player.
