Congrats to all who've joined and make this instance awesome!

And what compensation will be offered? The amount of careless use of our data, and it goes without any significant punishment or retribution, is just horrendous.

Thanks for adding content, it's certainly a good time to be helping build activity given the interest in Lemmy/kbin/fediverse.

For me, I don't subscribe to many communities and use the local feed to keep an eye on recent content.

The challenge will be to try keep engagement going over the coming months and build on the number of people who come and post / comment.

The flow on effects of previous rises might take a bit longer to be fully seen, but I daresay they are going to do another rise or two before the year is out. It does also depend on the situation around the world to some degree as well.

TBH, Albo could probably spend his time better on getting a few other things sorted out that the country needs.

The Reddit Blackout has resulted in large growth for fediverse alternatives Lemmy & Kbin, there are some other platforms (not fediverse) that have also seen sharp growth.

Normally I'd post something like this in a tech/web type community, which we don't yet have locally here on Aussie.Zone so I figured "meta" might be a suitable spot.

So many tears were shed 😂

Classic Aussie content!

I wonder if the July 1 power prices could be considered part of what the RBA is pointing at here. Certainly across many markets in AU like Mobile companies, Supermarkets, etc there are cosy duopolies or similar.

These people need to watch the great Russell Coight for aussie survival tips :-)

Another list is being maintained at https://sub.rehab/ Hopefully it helps you all find new content on the fediverse!

Still not as low as Betashares A200 ETF at 0.04%.

Noting that VAS is ASX300 versus ASX200 for the Betashares ETF, not that it should make a ton of difference.

I haven't seen an announcement for this year, however last year their schedule was:

Vanguard Personal Investor annual tax statements will be issued in two tranches

Investors holding Vanguard Managed Funds only – Tuesday 2 August 2022
Investors holding Vanguard Managed funds and/or ETFs and/or Direct Shares – Thursday 18 August 2022

Annual investor statements issued – Monday 12 September 2022

So I imagine you should hear something from them over the coming months.

Instead of focusing on improving driver education and skills, the authorities appear to believe that continually pushing the speed limits lower is the only way to go.

In other words, don't hold your breath!

Definitely not a surprise to see a sinkhole like this open up down there, as you say it's riddled with underground formations.

It seems that West Coast are still backing the coach.

That doesn't make sense given how many $ the fans are willing to spend going to the game and supporting the team. Quite a few games there are still spare seats as far as I've seen.

Excellent question!
