Those graveyards were for failed startups around ride sharing / rentals.

Well said. I always wonder why billionaires keep working. Your post explains it nicely.

I guess Play Pass for Android is similar. Thanks.

My 9yo daughter has a tablet with family link, so I can monitor what apps she wants to install. As the garbage games are mostly at the top free, she keeps asking for games that I reject, in most cases because it's riddled with ads.

The Play Store has a section for kids, which seems to have better quality apps and games. Also thinking to subscribe to Play Pass so she can try out paid games.

Any other tips? Especially how to find good free / paid games. I don't mind paying for good games.

Also I'm aware I can block ads using eg Pi Hole (already doing that) or sometimes putting it on airplane mode, but that's not my point. I want to find and support quality games.

Yes think we're on the same page. I have absolutely no need for speed anymore (I did when I was younger, I admit), I just don't think it makes sense to limit speed on certain roads at 100km / hour like the Kapiti Expressway. It should be 120km/h IMO. Police is checking for speed there very often as it's an easy cash grab, but I hardly see them in 50km/h areas where it's much less safe to go over the limit.

Have you read the entire article? I'm absolutely not a National fan but they're not saying that they will reverse all changes, only there were it's safe to do so. Essentially what the current plan is, perhaps at less places.

Also, they want to focus on other things than speed, eg on alcohol testing.

National will encourage police to increase the use of breath testing and we will fix roadside drug testing legislation so police can effectively test drivers for drugs.

I'm from The Netherlands where we have an absurd focus on speed, and speed testing. It has got nothing to do with safety where they are testing, it's just another tax.

I've got my license 25 years or so and have only been tested for alcohol once. Never in my ten years in New Zealand. That's crazy. One in five fatal crashes is caused by alcohol.

Personally, one of my highest priorities for voting is climate change so I guess it will be Greens again.

If you think climate change is important as well, please vote accordingly.

I've got Stremio set up with RD and so far very happy. However, recently got an annoying issue with playback so I thought let's give Syncler a try. It was a pain to set up as buying Syncler+ requires crypto, or paying twice as much.

Got it working, added RD, added the Express provider package excluding Orion, but for some shows I get no results whereas in Stremio it worked fine. For example, Starstruck doesn't work in Syncler; it loads for a minute or so with lots of sources, errors, etc. and then says 0 sources found. Other shows load fine. Should I add another source, or am I just unlucky?

Or is there another alternative that works with Realdebrid? I'm on Android TV (CCWGTV). I have got Seren in Kodi, but not a fan of the UI. I like the slick UI of Stremio :)

As my daughter is lactose intolerant I started to make cashew based ice cream. Now, we only eat homemade and I think it tastes better than any store bought. I still try to improve, and was wondering if there are any homemade ice cream makers here?

When I joined Lemmy during the Reddit exodus it felt like a new breeze and very positive. It feels like this has changed, posts and comments are more negative. Lots of complaints, even positive news posts receive a lot of negative comments. I am always trying to see the positive in things. Just doesn't feel fun anymore. Perhaps it's just me though.

Also still mainly see technical posts, lots of Windows/MS bashing. I'd like to see more communities about non technical things. Perhaps I haven't discovered them.

To find and subscribe to new communities is still quite annoying, or is it just me? Trying to find this community from Lemmy.nz but can't find it. https://lemmy.world/c/parenting

When I construct this URL myself I get an error https://lemmy.nz/c/[email protected]

It doesn't appear in the search, only one from Lemmy.ml

I'm running HA on docker on a RPI with the Sky Connect dongle. I just wanted to add a new device as I've done many times before, and instead of that device, a device of type "Coordinator" was added with no entities. I'm assuming this is my Sky Connect dongle, but why did this suddenly show up? I can't delete it either. It wasn't there before so I'm very confused. Is there something wrong with my Zigbee network?

I'm interested in setting up SearXNG, so had a look at the public instances. What I found is that the search results page don't contain widgets.

For example in DDG, when I search for "restaurant x" I get a widget with information about restaurant x with e.g. the phone number & reviews and an option to call.

In Google I see widgets even more, e.g. when searching for "game review" I get a widget with all reviews for that game.

SearXNG results page is just a list of results and I miss the widgets. I had a look if there are plugins, but couldn't find any. Is there any way to add widgets like above examples?

Hi fellow IT contractor, thanks for sharing! That is awesome. Just installed and works like a charm. I was using Chrome profiles for this, but having all in one window is much easier.

Xbox owner here. I love the xbox for gamepass, have been subscribed for years. Think I also prefer the xbox controller. I miss some of the exclusives of PS5.

But it's very much an opinion I believe. I totally understand if people buy a PS5.

I totally agree with the first five, but not sure about the last one, whole fat dairy. Eg cheese contains saturated fat which isn't healthy. I had assumed that lower fat milk would be better for eg the calcium.

Thanks for opening this post. I was wondering the same. I just read that lemmy.ml had already decided to preemptively defederate and I think lemmy.nz should too. Don't want to see their content and also don't think threads/meta has good intentions.

My Play Store app updated overnight, requiring the latest server side update.
