If you goto Profile/Settings and get aggressive with blocking Communities, it can really help tailor things Eg I like more 'news' rather than funny stuff and memes.Here's mine:

Instead of trying to find communities you are interested in, include everything, then kick out the stuff you don't want. I always enjoy stumbling across something I had no active interest in, but randomly pops up, ane I think "Whoa, that is pretty cool!"

Also, the only way to increase the signal to noise ratio is to keep posting quality stuff. Like all my posts and comments 🤣

    I call it shotgun policy strategy.

    You just keep spouting stuff. You don't need an implementation plan. You don't even need to implement anything. The idea is to spout enough of them that it hits one person/group for each idea.

    Trump is a master, and used his rallies to do it.

    There's no coherence or overarching vision to them. You just keep reloading and blast away.

    People remember the one they like,and ignore all the others that are rubbish. "But she has some good ideas." Yeah, so does my nephew, but he's not fit to run the country either.

    If Pa is a safe and responsible person, he's got those locked up.

    But I get what you're saying. Maybe crazy George or cash strapped Georgina get the keys/combination to the gun safe anyways.

    And fwiw, I agree that less guns is better.

    But still, it's the safe, responsible person that's handing them in. If they truly didn't need them, they would get rid of them responsibly anyways. Well, you'd hope.

    Maybe it's just a reminder to Pa that he doesn't need them anymore, and that he doesn't want crazy George or Georgina to get a hold of them, so it's a good time to get rid of them 😄

    Can Australians trust the labels on the food they buy?

    First of a two part investigation.

    I'm expecting major shenanigans to be uncovered.

    Airing tonight on our ABC at 8:30pm eastern, and will be available via iView after.

    Do yourself a favour, and catch Media Watch after it. You'll find out what media BS you've been caught out believing!

     

    idk, I kinda expected a bot to be machine like, regular, predictable and couldn't be stopped and would go on forever.

    You know, like the Terminator.

    But sydbot hasn't posted anything for 2 months.

    Not sure it matters, but I'd like to know that sydbot is safe and happy.

    Poor bloke! (thelemmy.club)

    It's absolutely pissing down here right now, and I noticed this little fella sitting on a ledge outside a window trying to get out of the rain.

    I've never seen any bird try and shelter there before, but am doing my best to not disturb him.

    Hope the eaves and ledge give him some protection and he can stay safe.

    Update: The rain has stopped, and my little friendly shadow has gone. All the birds are going mental! The cockies sound furious!

    Key Fire sites (aussie.zone)
     

    Victoria is already in a state of disaster, and today looks like being a really bad day for fires in Sydney, so thought I would link a couple of key sites I use:

    Stay safe!
