  • I don't know, that's not really in my wheel house

  • Australian xmas is a mishmash, you take cold traditions and make them warm, the food is similar but different, outdoor sports or swimming are common, it's easy to get around

    For my money breakie and presents with one family then lunch with another, prawns from the barbie, roast ham served cold with salad, beers by the pool and backyard cricket make for a distinctly Australian xmas

    If that's just a Winter Xmas to people from the Northern Hemisphere I'd be surprised

  • I'm going to a Christmas in July party in Australia tonight!

    In Australia you have as in July because it's an excuse to have a party. It's understood not to be like real Xmas though, more a themed party.

    As an Aussie I would not set out to have Xmas in July in the Northern Hemisphere specifically because I wanted a hot Xmas, but living there you might do it to show off Australian Xmas customs to locals.

  • Like the contractors on the Death Star

  • We didn't have a video player, but our friends had a Looney Tunes VHS that included rabbit season / duck season, the Bugs Bunny opera, left turn at Albuquerque, and Duck Dodgers

    We must have watched it over 100 times

  • The reason I would call reddit social media is that I don't agree with any of those rules

    The closest I would agree with is 2, and not based on lack of anonymity but instead on persistence of identity, and that being core to the experience

    I was part of subreddits where users knew each other as distinct personalities, and could converse across different threads across time, and occasionally IRL from various meetups

    When a website doesn't have a lively and persistent 'local' community (maybe geographic, maybe subject etc) it can't really be social

  • For some reason I don't count youtube as social media - If I went to reddit and read comments without voting that would count, but youtube is just a video delivery platform (and I don't read the comments). Not sure if that's a real distinction I can make

  • Hackernews is a link-based message board, Ars is a article-based website

    Both used to be just tech, but have started being a bit more general or tech-adjacent

    Ars has specialist professional journalists, Hackernews links heavily favour tech industry professionals and deep dives

  • Lemmy + Hackernews + Arstechnica

    What more is there to know?

  • Exactly the same, except the reason is that the eggs at the back can freeze if the carton is pushed back in the fridge, so I work from the far end to near

  • Your options are building from source, downloading dev apks, or using an app store. If you can't trust anyone, then you need to build from source

    Fdroid is the best of the app stores, they are always trying to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to privacy, security, and trust

    Reproducible builds are the standard for FOSS trust, see this article for an overview. They close the gap between app stores and dev apks

    Fdroid are constantly working to increase the prevalence of reproducible builds, and to enable you to verify more so you have to rely less on trust

  • NTA yet. You're not an asshole if you think that way, but you could be depending on how you act

    If you suggested a kid free meetup and they said they would bring the kids anyway then the conversation is over - if you tell them you don't want anything to do with their kids then they will think YTA and you won't catchup, which is worse than now where you just won't catchup

    Maybe just tell them you're going somewhere kids can't come like a bar, and politely decline any offers to meetup elsewhere

  • Can we have Google Chrome?

    No, we have Gogle Chome at home

  • I've been on Mint with Cinnamon for about 5 years across desktops, laptops, and home server

    I had to update a machine with a version of Mint that was EoL this year, so I just upgraded through several major versions in a row with no issues

    It was interesting seeing how much more polished each upgrade process was

  • And it keeps growing, there are another 5 that didn't fit in the screenshot

  • I created a symlink to the directory the symlink is in. If I try and simply 'delete' the symlink in a file browser it tells me that gigs of data will be deleted

  • That beginners guide says to avoid creating circular symlinks. What if, entirely hypothetically, I already have a circular symlink?
