How many Lemmy users are non-technical background?
I'm a mom that works part time in accounts. Definitely not IT technical.
Here because Apollo and RIF have gone and I saw reddit posts directing me here. Might leave because 50% of the posts here are "reddit is shit" and I'm just not that interested in that circle jerk.

Gold Coast offers to host 2026 Commonwealth Games after Victoria withdrawal
Tate needs to back off. Rates already paid for part of the 2018 Comm Games and we've got the Olympics coming up.
We have such a housing and cost of living crisis, that I can't believe he would think ratepayers would support this

Every generation has some product/ingredient that they didn’t know was dangerous at the time: tobacco, lead, asbestos, etc. What is that item for this generation?

Who actually wants the Olympics?
My child will be 12 when it is here. I'm very excited. It's such an impressionable age and we are saving up to go to as many events as she wants to.
I really enjoyed the Comm Games on the Gold Coast. The events were great and it was super well organised from a spectator perspective (transport, food & bev and no long queues etc).

Do you want to help mod?
Maybe. I'm a mod of my reddit bumpers group, but tbh there's no modding needed in a closed group (mainly vetimg new applications), so I don't have much experience.
Are you still looking for mods?

There are identical twins out there whose parents confused one with the other and now they living their life with the name of the other sibling, never noticing because it doesn't make any difference.

Can't edit, but you are right 2 degrees specifically list Hotspotting included as a benefit of their plans

Maybe it's just the high limit plans.
When we travelled there in 2022 and needed to work remote, there was no plan over 50gb that didn't charge a huge amount to allow hotspots. Not sure about lower data plans though as we didn't look at them

Happy International Cat Day!!
My cats started out friends. 1.5yr old and a kitten. Sleeping on each other, grooming each other etc.
Then the kitten hit puberty and they were bitter enemies until the older one passed at 17. The younger is now 16 and living his best life. I'm glad yours got on eventually. We tried everything with ours, but the best we got was when they would deliberately ignore each other for a few years

HP printer USB port covered with warning sticker in hopes you won't use it | Boing Boing

I haven't had a printer since early 2020 when I was last in the office. Sometimes I definitely miss it. But not enough to buy one.
Since then, the only thing I've needed to print was a visa which said I must carry a printed copy, but at the border it was digitally attached to my passport, so turns out I didn't need it at all.
