It seemed like a good idea at the time.

I'm pretty happy here in our corner of Lemmy. Why would I want to know what's going everywhere on the internet all at once?

Winner of $1.35 billion Mega Millions jackpot in Maine sues mother of his child to keep identity hidden in c/[email protected]

The resdit post referred to by the top level comment mentions that winners of very large jackpots turn up dead with alarming frequency.

Also the bigger the jackpot the more people get sued, family kidnapped, harassed, etc. A miserable existence apparently.

Slow lately (lemmy.world)
 

I noticed recently there's some slowness in the mornings. Things taking a while to load. Comments failing due to timeout etc.

When I switch to another instance everything works again so pretty sure it's not my internet.

Is there anything we can do or help with? Are there DOS or bot shenanigans going on?

I'm guessing if you have to pay the government, you can get government approval.

Do the people in Reniassance festivals occurring in Britain also speak with faked British accents, or do they use faked French/Italian accents instead? in c/[email protected]

They exist here in Australia too. Which is a Commonwealth country with lots of English influenced heritage and culture.

I mean that's the point. He's clearly Don Putin in this configuration.

Looking for a new home... Federation policy? (lemmy.world)
 

I joined .world before aussie.zone was a thing. Now with them banning all the piracy communities it seems a slippery slope for all other kinds of discussions too.

I'm Australian. Aussies are notorious pirates. Does aussie.zone have plans to also defederate dbzer0 etc?

Just want some clarity before moving here.

Thanks!

Popularity in the USA (lemmy.world)
 

I'm Australian and went on a business trip last month to the UK and to the USA.

In the UK I didn't see Bluey anywhere, but in the USA I saw Bluey stuff everywhere. Every hotel room at some point flipping channels Disney Jr seemed to have Bluey on all the time. I saw kids wearing Bluey merch when out and about. I saw Bluey merch in stores. Even on a flight, the kids in front of me were watching Bluey on the inflight entertainment.

At one hotel I had to go down the hallway to get some ice, and was wearing my Bandit PJ t-shirt. Another guy in his 30s came out of the elevator and was like "OMG I love your shirt! We all love Bluey!"

So my question is, will the next generation of American squibs all have an Australian accent?

[Feature Request] Refresh button (lemmy.world)
 

At the moment if you're inside a post and you want to refresh the comments you have to go all the way to the top and do the pull-down to refresh. Generally this is fine.

However a lot of communities have "live" posts where people watch a tv show or a sports event together. Especially with sports events the actual post text might be really long and requires a lot of scrolling to get past.

For instance a typical live sports thread: https://lemmy.world/post/1156203

I'm sorting by comments by "New" to easily follow the live chat. However to refresh, I need to scroll up about 10 pages on a mobile to get to the top of the post (all the scores and match details are being live updated by a bot in the post body). And then after a refresh I have to scroll all they way back down.

If there was somewhere to just press a refresh button when down in the comments or at the bottom of the post body. I think BaconReader used to have it in the top menu bar of the app. Just an option in the 3 dots menu to refresh would be fine.

Thanks!
