Swimmers are being urged to follow safety advice at the beach, after lifeguards performed 13 rescues and 10 assists on Christmas Day alone.
Swim between the flags, people!
The Gathering was really the spark that make the dance music scene take off in NZ. By around 2000 there were events happening all over the country and there was less need to trek to the middle of nowhere for a festival. The initial enthusiasm and idealism that energised the early days started to fade so money was needed then suddenly it's a much harder game.

God, this stuff is complex!
Pretty terrible how at the end it is revealed that the govt and industry had completely different ideas about the goal of the partnership, all along.

This isn't the end of reddit's enshittification process. They're just getting started.
I tried last week and gave up as the docs were no good. But since then they've been updated and are now quite comprehensive!
Have you looked at this? https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/wiki#admin-guide
Both.
As soon as kbin gets collapsing threads (it's nearly there!), I'll probably go exclusively kbin.
Motivation is a tricky thing. You need to create it, it's not something anyone has innately.
Something I've been using lately, with good results, is to spend a few minutes at the start of each day reminding myself of the vision I have for my future. I previously collected photos or symbols of those things and spend a few seconds dwelling on each of them and trying to imagine how my life will be better then. Cultivate the dream.
A lot of those things I dream of will take a long time to happen so they need to be broken down into smaller sub-goals. Use chatgpt to help with this?
Once my vision has been refreshed I make a to-do list for the day.
Executive functioning is often hard for people with autism. Some of the techniques that people with ADHD use can be helpful, as they have the same issues. Lots of info on the web out there about this and your public library will have free books on it too.
I no longer care if the blackouts change reddit or not. Viva la fediverse!
Misleading headline.
Maximum penalties are only used for the worst possible cases. As far as "fraud" goes, this seems super tame.
This seems ok to me. Over time you might come to regret it if you have many scripts and they want to use different package versions...
Another approach could be to write a shell script which loads the virtual environment and then starts the main script. something like
cd /home/rimu/path_to_my_script/
source venv/bin/activate
python myscript.py
Put your shell script in ~/bin and ensure that ~/bin is in your $PATH.
Ubuntu or Mint are among the most noob-friendly.
But probably the biggest impact will be whether you go with Gnome or KDE. KDE is more Windows-like so could be a softer landing.
I've read a lot of stories where installing Linux resulted in less support calls, not more. It depends on how ambitious the user is - if they're mostly just staying in their lane and browsing the web it should be rock solid.
Yeah 0.1% would be within some sort of margin of error, surely.
80% of the time, compiling something from source is just a matter of downloading the code, opening a terminal and changing to the directory containing the source and running these commands:
./configure
make
make install
It's the same 3 commands, 80% of the time.
Installing the prerequisites can be tricky, if the docs are lacking.
If we knew how hard things were going to be (or how long they would take!), we wouldn't attempt the task. Being a bit deluded about how smart we are is helpful for this.
Plus, there is a lot of autism in IT which sometimes makes people seem like arrogant dickheads even if they aren't.

One of the big weaknesses of Mastodon is it does a poor job of showing replies to posts, if you're on a small server. A lot of replies don't get federated, so you won't see them. It's rubbish. I spent weeks trying other software until I found one that proactively goes to the original server and retrieves replies on the fly, when you view the thread. It is called 'Akkoma' and it is fantastic.
https://mycrowd.ca/ is the Akkoma instance that I settled on.
Another major limitation of Mastodon is all replies are shown in a single long list, unlike lemmy. For this reason I quite like Friendica. Friendica has a UI that is reminiscent of Facebook. https://venera.social/ is a good instance. However now that Lemmy/Kbin is blowing up I feel less need for it.
Widen Change bright green to blue Improve indentation of replies
Install this User Style (requires a browser extension) to make Lemmy look better.
I just whipped this up in a few minutes so there is more to do but whatever. Enjoy.
