Did you just catfish us?
Catfish@aussie.zone 3 days ago
Maybe…
Duenan@aussie.zone 3 days ago
That looks a little disturbing.
Is that sourdough?
Catfish@aussie.zone 3 days ago
No, Beer & onion though.

Melbcat is seeming much better after increasing her blood pressure meds. Already there’s no more wandering around yowling. She’s chilled right out. I think this specialist is a good one.
It’s really stressful the way the internet is suddenly changing for me. A lot of disruption to my hobbies and friendships. This shit better not come for Lemmy

@melbaboutown @RustyRaven what I think will happen is : social media age verification will drive under 16s AS WELL AS anyone who values their privacy to less well known social media. But as what is already happening with the UK, large Mastodon instances are pre-emptively blocking UK instances, we in AU especially larger instances will get blocked from connecting internationally. Not sure how Lemmy is going to go, but I think the International blocks will come long before local action from our own government.
I forsee VPNs and gotosocial in my future.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Absolutely. My guess is everyone is going to flock to unmoderated platforms. This will be a nightmare as I don’t like being around kids :/
Even lesser known platforms aren’t safe and not even the fediverse because UK users are being made to provide id to use Bluesky. I think it’s coming for Reddit as well.
Age verification AI is now being rolled out for YouTube in the US as a test 🙄
I’m considering a VPN but the problem is it can get you banned or shadowbanned

Patiently waiting for ~7.45am to call in sick. I have next week off work but that’s too far away. Had my training for complicated account types the last two days and I’m fried. Training went pretty well though to be honest. There were 6 of us doing it and everyone was really switched on and asking heaps of questions. Given the complexity of the account types were learning about, there is so much that wasn’t covered, but we more or less learned how to find the info when needed.
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 4 days ago
That sounds like pretty good training to me. Complex situations - you don’t need step by step instructions, more a map of the territory and a good idea of the desired end result. And access to information & skills of course.

Scoring is farked on this quiz - I got 8/10, but it showed my score as a perfect 8/8 ??? Naughty abc.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 4 days ago
6/10 kind of poopy but it’s cool
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 days ago
I think it’s fixed now.
8/10
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 4 days ago
It showed my score as 4/8. Something went very wrong at question 7. It showed all the answers as being right and that’s were the total score messed up too, it showed the total answered as 5 instead of 7 at that point. I went back and found if you answer it right it gives you two points for that question. So my second attempt I got 11/8
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 4 days ago
It said I got 6/8 but I feel like I didn’t get as many as 6 right 🤷♂️

I’ve been listening to hbomberguy’s video on Deus Ex: Human Revolution and I’m living the meme. I’ve downloaded the original Deus Ex and I’m going to play it again.
I can’t believe there hasn’t been a game as elaborate as Deus Ex since. Maybe some proper RPGs have as many branches and paths, but no real time fps can touch it

Picked up a really cheap apple watch off a mate today. He upgraded to the latest and greatest and have me a massive discount on the old one.
I wouldn’t say it’s mind blowing but it does look good with a proper steel band. Health stuff is nice.
Haven’t really spent much time with it yet.
Anyone here have one?
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 days ago
yeah, I never wore it, just too heavy and I don’t use my phone for every thing so why would i use a watch?
had a fit bit but then fit bit was bought by google and they had huge security issues but by then I wasn’t using it anyway
I just don’t feel the need to keep tabs on what i have done. I know already!! I don’t sleep enough, I am not as fit as i would like, am over weight
my gshock is more useful, i just want a time piece
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 3 days ago
I feel like it’s a status symbol more than a useful device.
tone212_@aussie.zone 3 days ago
Yeah I have one, it’s an oldie but it does the job. I wear it only to track workouts. I used to wear it all the time but not anymore.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 3 days ago
I think I’ll probably end up doing the same. The novelty will wear off. If it wasn’t pretty much 10% of 2nd hand price I wouldn’t have bothered.
Taleya@aussie.zone 3 days ago
Ayup, i’m a fan. “Text my husband”. “Timer ten minutes”. Apple wallet to paywave with my friggin watch! Love it.
Pedometer app is a good one to keep your steps up

I haven’t started packing yet and I’m heading into the office for lunch as my colleagues are taking me out to celebrate finishing my degree. I guess I’d better start now 🥱 😴 😳 🏃🏽♀️
