I think that all sounds very reasonable. My only quibble is that it should be affects and affecting Melbourne.

Absolutely ignore this if it’s over-explained and you don’t care, but I thought it topical considering your username here, but do you know the RAVEN hack? I used to use it back when I taught ESL.

Remember: ‘affect’ verb. ‘Effect’ noun.

So when it’s the verb, the ‘action’ word of the sentence, it’s ‘affect’, like: ‘it really affected me’ And when it’s a noun in the sentence, it’s ‘effect’, like: ‘the after-effects were really bad’ or ‘the special effects in this movie are great’

So in your sentences: ‘things happening in and effecting Melbourne’ ‘Happening’ and ‘effecting’ are the verb forms here, so it should be ‘affecting’

‘…around things that effect Victoria’ Again, ‘effect’ is the verb here, so it should be ‘affect’ If it was something like ‘the effects of the flooding on rural Victoria’, then ‘effects’ is correct, because it’s a noun.

It’s funny how some grammar rules just won’t stay in your brain! I remember it as being: You affect the effect. You affect something is the action, the effect is the result.

Clarifying the gif part are you saying no gif or to write a description before adding one? I don’t usually do gif unless it’s a pm to a friend, but just trying to understand that part when I read it, due to it can affect some people with its nature

I feel like (though I'm not Raven so I could be wrong) that it's more so adding alt text to an image. It's helpful for those who are blind/hard of seeing, or even those with shitty Internet to describe the image/gif. I don't think there is a way to pause moving images here on lemmy/aussie.zone which is disappointing, but I feel like keep gifs to a minimum.

I would recommend just linking it with an alt text accompanied for those who might not want to view it but still want to understand what you're conveying.

I think you could show images on Reddit comments too. Like specifically gifs, but I think the mods of the sub have to enable it. I don't think Melbourne had it, but I know a few subs I frequented enabled it. But even then not a lot of people used them.

I'm pretty happy with everything here. I think that, my major concerns are just trolls and such. Since what I remember of the DT was a lot of really welcoming folks (even now here while I stopped being active in the DT it feels like this place is safe... a safe space as one would say), but when it came to posts on the subreddit at large there were just some horrible and mean people, especially when it came to threads about the current climate/the American culture war they're trying to bring here.

Obviously, everyone has a right to their opinion, just as I do. But a lot of those would get ugly, luckily they'd be pretty downvoted quick. But other than that, it's a pretty simple rule list that makes sense. And I'm sure you folks on the admin team will edit the rules with enough warning if something comes up!

Instead of doing anything constructive I have been reading about the Aboriginal stories about Raven (AKA Crow). Known as Waa to the Wurundjeri People. Waa was originally a white bird, who stole coals/fire from seven sisters who were keeping it to themselves. He either dropped some or ended up throwing it at other animals who were wanting to have some too, which is how fire came to be used by mankind. In the process Waa started a bushfire in which he was burned, which is how he became black.

If anyone remembers all my long rants in the Reddit DT, I have some kinda good news about it.

Things at the hosue have been much more settled, it appears one of them (the main noisy one) will be moving out and back in with his family. He hasn't been here in about a month and a half, so things have been more chill. One of the others is just going about her life as usual. She tells and throws things once every day or two still, but not as bad as it was. And then the other one is still chill, he's never caused many problems

And on the lead tenant thing I mentioned a while ago, it seems things are going well. They lined up a house that sounds chill and I had my first meeting with the program coordinator on Tuesday. She gave me a rulebook I need to read, and then this coming Friday we meet with her again and I officially sign the papers. After that, it will be about 4-8 weeks until I move in.

It's still stressing me out a bit, mainly because I don't fit one of their requirements properly and I'm only about half fulfilling it. Allegedly they'll be pretty lenient on it, but lenient as in they'll accept me, but if I don't 100% meet it within a few months, I'll be locked back and sent back into Resi.

It's also kind of fucking with my head because I've been here for 4 years, and although I've never considered it to be, or felt that it is my home, that's the longest I've ever lived anywhere in my entire life. For about 3/4 of those years it's been pretty bleak living here and felt like a never ending nightmare, but now that it is ending and comparitively the end is so close I can basically touch it, it feels is backwards to what I'm used to

I wish my council still did it that way (Merri Bek), but you now have to book a collection and you're allowed 2 per year of a certain size. If you go over that size you lose your second booking. I like it better when everyone puts their stuff out all at once, and then you can go around having a polite lift and sift of everyone else's stuff. Last time we booked a collection they forgot about it for weeks. When we rang and reminded them they came and got it and the nature strip was all dead! In the meantime people had been coming after nightfall to add paint cans and other stuff that you're not allowed to and the pile was huge.

haven't heard of that before, sounds excellent. speaking only for office/knowledge jobs and maybe not 100% of jobs are like this but.. almost every one i have had has contained substantial filler, would happily trade for time off and more compressed/efficient work hours. we would easily spend half a day a week in meetings that don't need to happen.

The subscriber counts here are a bit dodgy. I think it is only showing the subscribers on the instance you are in, not overall. I accidentally went to my other group from this account and thought it had dropped from about 200 subscribers to 3! It makes me wonder how many subsribers we actually have here, if the 358 showing is just people subscribed from this instance we may actually have quite a few more. Although I think the users/posts/comments counts are really more meaningful anyway.

Morning DTers,

So I know that the whole Rdt saga is a bit of a sore point. (Avery ye eyes if needed.) I’ve been following it loosely and someone posted their terms which made me think about how we loathe it when news outlets pilfer our posts. I thought it might be worth noting this:

If you can't tell what the product is, the product is you.

It has often been a problem with artwork, both on social media sites and when you do things like enter competitions or use your own work to be printed on an item you are often giving away the rights. Now that AI is involved our words have also become more valuable to companies, even random passing conversations.

My guess is that's a large part of why they are making the changes - 3rd party apps are not really the target, it's just part of the process of how they plan to keep the material contained so they can sell it to media and large businesses.

No worries dude. It's real tough out there. Especially (I'm assuming) as a jobseeker. It's both funny in a frustrating way and just plain frustrating to have places that are like "We're desperate for people!" and then people go "hey I'd like to apply for a job" and they're like "okay we're not that desperate".

So I had this problem where I couldn't open more than one page in my browser. I asked the man to have a look and he said everything is fine. Then the interrogation started.

Him: What browser do you use?

Me: I don't know. Chrome I guess.

Him: Show me.

I press the google bar. His eyes got very wide.

Him: That's not chrome. That's google. It only allows you to open one tab at a time.

Me: ooohhh

He shakes his head. Then proceeds to educate me on Google vs Google Chrome vs Samsung browser. Now you smart people probably already know this. I did not even though I've had 3 Samsung phones and 3 Samsung tablets over the last 10 years. I have learnt lots in the past few days. I will continue to learn. I at least showed him how to use the airfryer the other day.

One of the bonuses to relationships that I like. Especially when their expertise can help you further.

My hot water unit is finished, the gas pilot isn't staying on for more than 24 - 48 hours. The unit is from 1995. I've been told they don't usually last almost 30 years so this house did well with it. It's a fun game going into the shower on a cold winter's day and wondering if hot water is going to come out or if the pilot's gone off. Going to cost 2k to get replaced! Love these unexpected large expenses. Anyway, trying to not let it ruin my weekend. Things break, such is life.

So I was curious about what's happening over on Reddit, and turns out some subs are opening up because they're worried of Reddit admins gutting the mod teams and putting new ones in. It's already happened with advice animals. Not like it hasn't happened before, the head mod of Kotaku in Action (basically that whole gamergate shit, that IMHO, the guy who started it lied), essentially privated the sub because he was over it and hated seeing how hateful people were, he was removed and Admins put in new modding team.
