Technology@lemmy.world•Apple's rules to allow third-party app stores in the EU are not beneficial for users or developers
10·2 years agoEpic lost their case with Apple regarding Fortnite, yet now Epic are looking to make Fortnite available on iOS in EU. But from the article it seems an alternate “app marketplace” would still need Apple approval anyway. It will be interesting to see how all this is going to work.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is it okay to wash hands with body soap?
18·2 years agoExactly. I think the bigger question here is whether hand-soap is sufficient to use as body wash? 🤔

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Lets start a new Lemmy holiday tradition. What's a song you've been digging lately?
2·2 years agoI went thru many of his songs after discovering “The Search”. “When I grow up” is great … the subtle comedy in the kitchen scene is brilliant. He’s quite the lyrical genius!

World News@lemmy.world•Australia denounces Israeli settler attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank
9·2 years agoFinally. It would have been nice to see these tactics denounced a decade or two ago, but better late than never, I guess. I’m glad to see it.

World News@lemmy.world•Elon Musk tells advertisers: ‘Go fuck yourself’ - The Verge
58·2 years ago“That is what everybody on Earth will know,” he said. “We’ll be gone, and it’ll be gone because of an advertiser boycott.”
Oh no, not at all, dear … everybody on Earth is perfectly aware that it is YOU who is killing the company. Twisting the narrative to feel better within yourself ain’t gonna change the fact. Why would any advertiser worth a damn, want to be associated with Stormfront 2.0?

United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Never start vaping, says 12-year-old girl with lung damage
1·3 years agoIn Australia we just put the price up exponentially each year so that eventually noone will be able to afford them except the very richest in the country. I stopped smoking on 1/1/2020 when it was already over $1 per cigarette. It’s considerably more expensive now … I think about $30 for a pack of 20s. That’s why my friend never has any dosh and is always borrowing money from ppl.

Australia@aussie.zone•Cybercriminals publish personal details of thousands of donors to Australian charities on the dark web
6·3 years agoThe aggressive sales tactics of the charity representatives at those little pop-ups at the supermarket and plazas are a bit shady as well, IMO. I usually manage to avoid them but the few times I have been stopped, it’s never a pleasant/easy experience to get away. They are trained to sell this way, and I understand they need the donations, but it never leaves me with a feeling of respect for the charity they represent.
I cant afford to make monthly donations but sometimes I would like the option to drop a cash donation in a tin, or to make a one-off merch purchase. Unfortunately neither of these things are ever an option these days, so instead we get the hard sell and are left with a bad taste in the mouth.

Australia@aussie.zone•aussie flag going ok, probs should have made it smaller tho, will next year.
3·3 years agoHi there fellow Aussies. You are either gonna hate me, or love me.
When I first opened the canvas I don’t believe your Australian flag was there. I went on to make a Fortnite F, then expanded to the whole logo, and finally a lovely heart. Yes, I know that’s all very cringe but I don’t care. When I woke the next day I was surprised to discover that my art had still not been attacked, so I began a Project Zomboid Logo. Eventually I noticed the formation of your flag but I already had received a notice that the canvas would be closing in 24 hours.
I’m sorry, I think your flag was ambitious, but I don’t see it getting completed. I really wanted us to have some representation, and I’m also jealous of New Zealand as their flag is schmick. My son and I decided to create some token Australian Flags near my other artwork (as it started to get attacked and I needed to keep an eye on it.) If you want to help with protection, or even expansion, you can find those (significantly smaller) flags at 115, 466 on the canvas. You can also talk to me thru Place Australia on Discord in the #post-place channel.
Perhaps we can draw something else before close?

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Ordered 20+ groceries from Amazon on Prime Day. Today my order arrived with each item packaged separately.
1·3 years agoYes. I got a package from Amazon US a week or so after this post and it had that written on it. I pulled it apart to investigate but the padding was not plastic bubbles like the ones in my OP photo. So it must be some sort of corn stuff that can be recycled, but unfortunately I’ve never had Australian Amazon packages in that recyclable padded packaging. We have a stiff cardboard bag that can be recycled but it’s only single layer. My groceries did not even require padded packaging though!
