  • What movie trailer ruined the movie with how much it revealed?

    Jump

  • After that happened in the movie, I was angry that a big moment had been denied me. I basically stopped watching trailers of any film I intended to see that day.

    People who are into movies say that the trailer is a part of the experience. But I'd prefer to go in completely unspoiled.

  • MUSIC - What is the deepest cover song you know?

    Jump

  • The first one I didn't know! And yes, this one is absolutely the most obscure cover of an even more obscure song I think I've heard of.

  • How Subscription Services are designed to BANKRUPT you

    Jump

  • £1,212 is more like $1,500 US dollars. Which is nuts.

  • Steam is a ticking time bomb

    Jump

  • The author has a MacBook and has discovered that the new Apple Silicon is terrible for games. Particularly 32-bit games. It turns out Valve hasn't re-made these 10-20 year old games to compensate for Apple's hardware compatibility changes.

    Somehow, that's Valve's fault and a sign that they're going down the drain.

  • What’s the worst car you’ve ever driven?

    Jump

  • We call that car the "Sierra" in Australia. Perfect beach/dune car. Not ideal for rougher terrain, though. In fairness, the biggest thing it has going against it is the narrow wheelbase. It doesn't fit right on the tracks made by all the other 4x4's. If all those tracks had instead been made by narrower vehicles, it might not be so bad.

  • What is the last video game that you were completely hooked on?

    Jump

  • I know I was super late to the party, but I'm genuinely surprised that nobody has said Skyrim, yet.

    Before that, Subnautica (both of them).

    But I've probably spent as much time in Skyrim as both Subnautica games combined.

  • What is something that is completely legal that should be illegal?

    Jump

  • That's only legal in like two countries.

  • What’s the worst car you’ve ever driven?

    Jump

  • Are Land Cruisers not a thing in the USA? Because they are the ultimate off-road vehicle.

    I'm sure you have the Hilux and there is no place where I'd choose to take a Jeep over a Hilux.

  • Threadverse Working Group is formed

    Jump

  • I should probably know this, but why "threadverse" and not "fediverse"? The name Threadverse sounds like a Meta trademark.

  • Putin ‘wins’ rigged Russian election with 88% of the vote, early results show

    Jump

  • This is fantastic to hear. Now, you just need to be able to vote at any elementary school and get your democracy sausage and you'll be voting like the professionals!

  • Putin ‘wins’ rigged Russian election with 88% of the vote, early results show

    Jump

  • Australia solved this. We have to vote.They also made it easy to vote - our main voting day is always a Saturday If you won't be able to vote on that day for some reason, there are small polling places open for a couple of weeks ahead of that date.

  • Israel's religious right has a clear plan for Gaza: 'We are occupying, deporting and settling'

    Jump

  • That's not what deport means. That's displace.

  • As someone not in tech, I have no idea how to refer to my tech friends' jobs

    Jump

  • Tech is short-hand for technology.So, technology companies and technology workers.

  • PSA: You can't delete photos uploaded to Lemmy. So don't (accidentally) upload a nude

    Jump

  • Huh.You are correct - there is a message in my inbox from you. I honestly didn't realise/see it. I'll reply privately.

  • PSA: You can't delete photos uploaded to Lemmy. So don't (accidentally) upload a nude

    Jump

  • Dear aussie.zone users,

    I can delete photos. Just give me the url of the photo you need killed and I'll happily delete it for you. But also, don't (accidentally) upload a nude.

  • Deleted

    Permanently Deleted

  • Can't bear to review one more PR today

    Jump

  • We have big red magnets representing blocked to put on the board. We have to speak about every single blocker every stand up and what the team's path forward is to unblock the thing. If it's waiting for vendor, then that's all we can do. If the ball is in our court for any blockers, and its still there tomorrow without a really good reason, there is hell to pay.

  • Remember when Spez said it was "It's time we grow up and behave like an adult company"? Apparently, that means paying himself $193 million and single-handedly tanking Reddit's profitability right b...

    Jump

  • His pay was $300k something. So it was almost all stock.

    Ahh, that makes all sorts of sense. The idea that he was paid $193 Million was unbelievable.

    You could pay 1,000 moderators $100k for the year and still give Spez $93 Million if that were his salary.

  • Spam attack on Twitter/X rival Mastodon highlights 'fediverse' vulnerabilities

    Jump

  • We require an email address and a response to a question on our signups. The response doesn't need to be more than about 5 words, it's just to stop bots putting random characters or single words in there.

    So far, it has seemed to ride that balance between low bar of entry and too hard to spam with bot applicants.

    That said, if I wanted to spam the Fediverse, I'd just spin up my own instance of Lemmy or Mastodon.
