    I have seen needles in the seat cushions of trams. You just tell the driver, who puts a sticky tape barrier over the seat and the one next to it and the cushions are replaced at the depot.

This week has flown by. Been super busy at work. Miniest got accepted into her choice of secondary school! (Big yay). She’s also being allowed on her first school camp ever 😳Mr P got himself some new false teeth and now has to get used to them. Have been watching one of my personal favourite online communities (Imgur) become enshittified and have been looking for an alternative. There’s just nothing quite like it out there, and I had my little community there, but now everyone is scattering. Fuck you medialab ai.

I work with a bloke who I disliked from day 1. Don’t know why. Something about him irritated me and I couldn’t get past it.

Today I realised why. He looks like Dave Hughes (hope he’s okay given his injuries)

Thank you all for the well wishes on my presentation. One part went well but the other did not. I got some useful feedback though.

Now I will be watching the new Naked Gun movie from the comfort of my couch. I’ve been wanting to go to the movies for a while now, but I cbf.

I’m so fucking buzzed off rehearsal last night!!!

Plus I got to play a real drum kit and yeah, the electronic one is great but the real one is fucking amazing.

Apparently I’m going to the gym today then that’s me. I have to go and re-setup all my gear from last night so joys of cabling here we go.

Do I want to cook, or do I want takeaway from across the street?

source

  This is not a question. Takeaway!!!
  
  source
- melbaboutown@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago
  Delicious takeaway and a short rest. Then use the energy to meal prep the bought ingredients so they don’t go bad

Just warning you all that Imgur front page is full of NSFW and boobs as a protest, in case you want to specifically avoid that kind of thing.

source
- Catfish@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago
  Ha! I quit years ago when they banned NSFW. Was the only use I had for it.

  It used to be one of my favourite places, but I deleted my account about a week ago. The newish mob that own it turfed out all the old staff and mods and are now “AI first”. As a consequence stuffs breaking left right and centre and all the accounts that made it a community have skadaddelled it’s gone fully rogue this week but I understand.
  
  I liked the interwebs when it was for cute (non AI and not drugged for ease) animals and fun weirdos.

    Yeah the breakdown of notifications was the last straw for a lot of people. It’s bad enough that the videos would load, half play and then freeze lol, but I was putting up with that because I loved some of the users. Now they aren’t taking uploads from Ukraine. A few have set up discords but I hate the discord format, it’s like 100 people talking at once.

  What are they protesting?
  
  source
  - PeelerSheila@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago
    Imgur was bought by a company called Medialab ai, who sacked all the mods and tech support staff and pumped the site with ads. Some classic and old Imgurians accounts were banned. Posts were arbitrarily removed (ai mods now). Secret Santa was abolished. All NSFW uploads were removed by Medialab to make it more attractive to advertisers. They aren’t accepting uploads from accounts which are Ukrainian. Some Imgurians are rebelling against the enshittification, others are just leaving and looking for similar sites elsewhere. There isn’t anything quite like Imgur tho.

    got bought by a new company who just wanted the image repo for AI training and are consequently banning and firing everyone and ploughing it into the ground.

What a week, I’m exhausted. Well deserved frosty pint & burger before I head home.

Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago
my groceries are getting expensive, I notice there have been many price rises of 20-30%

from now on I’m printing out all receipts to keep track

tho looking at my pantry and fridge I am well stocked up , I could probably eat for 2-3 months and only buy some fresh fruit and veg

Made it down the beach last night. Ended up building the 'puter. No mishaps. Certainly the fastest thing I’ve ever used.

Ended up going w/ win 11 ltsc. So far so good. No bunch of useless shit on there straight out of the gates.

And it’s quiet even at load. Can hear the second hand of the clock in the other room when it’s idle lol.

Only hitting 50c after an hour of prime95 which is wild. Obviously didn’t bugger the thermal paste.

Now have to reinstall all the audio things which takes for ever.

I’m entirely ready for the weekend, but Friday keeps getting in the way

Last night, I woke up after only four hours of sleep, and then an hour later, dog started vomiting whole pieces of his food. Then I started to fall asleep, and had a nightmare that I was being held at gunpoint. Really great sleep. I have to give a presentation today. I think the lack of sleep was some kind of subconscious stress or the decaf English Breakfast tea I accidentally drank before bed.

Friday’s here!

8/10

Bewildered that the local pub was booked out at 6pm today. It may be a Friday but I thought it would be like most pubs where they’re dead that early on. Good thing I called ahead to confirm or we’d be turned away.

The kids came home from childcare the other day asking if they could go to the pub because they asked their nana what the building was. I thought we’d just be able to rock up but I guess not
