What was the biggest culture shock you ever experienced?
10 years ago I was visiting friends in Melbourne. They casually proposed going out and hanging out like you would at around 11am on a Saturday. It was 9pm on a Tuesday. Blew my mind that most things were open and operating.
Where I live if you haven’t eaten by 8pm, you better enjoy McDonald’s because it’s the only thing open.

I don’t use it but Matrix/XMPP is what you’re looking for.

What are your must-have top features you’d want to see in a Lemmy app or web client?
Being able to jump back a page without snapping to the top is the only issue I have with the PWA set up I’ve got. Otherwise it’s great as is.

How do I use Mastodon?
If there are people you enjoy on YouTube or other forms of social media, check their profiles or about me and see if they have mastodon links.

Why is the indigenous voice to Parliament so controversial?
I don’t think a lot of the public understand that the point of it is to give indigenous people a voice on indigenous issues. I think a lot of people believe it’s giving disproportionate indigenous representation into all issues.
Please correct me if I am wrong - my research on what the voice actually is extends to remembering a podcast I heard six months ago when I made up my mind that I thought it was something I wanted to vote yes on and have drowned out a lot of the noise on it since.

Are we committed to Lemmy? or would we move if something better comes along?
I love it. It’s missing a lot of the things I disliked about the other place which is fantastic. It’s reasonably barebones by comparison and I am totally fine with it.
The only issue I have is some of my interests aren’t represented here (or I haven’t found them yet) and that’s something that will come with time or me actually putting in a bit of effort to create. Not the platform’s fault.

Ask a Pirate: What p2p networks do you use in 2023?
Just on your niche stuff like 1930s movies, have you checked Internet Archive? I’ve been surprised at some of the stuff I’ve found.

iPhone 8. I’ve had it for 5 years and haven’t had a reason to upgrade. Battery is starting to lose a bit of life so I’m thinking about a new battery rather than a new phone.

How do I learn to plan meals and cook?
YouTube will be your friend for the how to cook. Though myself I learnt heaps from a book called The 4 Hour Chef by Tim Ferriss. There’s also How to Cook Everything by Mark Bittman that covers a lot.
As for what to cook? I’ve found the easiest way for me has been to batch cook (or meal prep). You cook up many servings of something and then eat it over the course of a week. I find it easier to stick to because it’s less work to just heat something up, rather than cook every night.
A good framework on what to cook is using a basis of meat + veggies + starch (noodles/rice/bread/etc) + flavour. Think of what you like and you can break it down into these categories. Then experiment within this. It’s not comprehensive but it’s a handy tool.

Dry July: Anyone else giving up the grog this month?
I don’t drink enough to warrant it. The odd one here and there if I go out for dinner. Definitely think more people need to think about their relationship with alcohol though.

Why do people host Lemmy instances and how do they pay for them?

I’m thinking about it. Do you need a domain name as well?

Taylor Swift adds two 'final' shows to Australian tour after 'historically unprecedented demand'
Reply in thread
This specific piece is there to inform people and there are a lot interested. Also will get a lot of clicks.
It’s a huge topic for pop culture and although a lot of stories don’t go too in-depth with it (although The Guardian did last week) it also has relevance as economic news.
And really, it’s nice to see something that’s not bad sprinkled in amongst the usual doom and gloom of the news.

It's Race Week! Let's talk about the Red Bull Ring.
This will be my first Austrian GP, what’s the track like and aside from Verstappen dominating what’s to expect?

I hate how phones got big again. I think the SE is still normal sized.

Favorite retrogaming Youtube channels?
Sega Lord X is the first one that springs to mind. I tend to prefer hardware and history over too much detail on the games themselves for other channels.

Former NSW premier and ex-partner engaged in corrupt conduct - as it happened
No surprises here. You don’t just resign as Premier when the topic of an investigation comes up without reason.
