super necessary if we expect anyone (outside of hobbyists) to even think of putting their content on the fediverse first or at the same time as other platforms

Quickly and effortlessly get some music playing that can act as a backdrop for your real activity such as working, driving, cooking, hosting friends, etc. Keep it rolling indefinitely. The particular songs don’t matter much. They are fungible as long as the general mood stays consistent.
can’t relate
i find new awesome music all the time, i only found i loved hardstyle 8 years ago, techno 5 years ago, vaporwave like a year ago
This is a fantastic service if you’re not that interested in music and are just looking for the aural version of mediocre Ikea artwork to cover the bare walls of your day
if you want to make it harder for yourself to discover new music then cool, but don’t imply that because you used spotify as a sort of cafe jazz background radio that we all use it like this
just the brain doing its thing
Musical preferences tend to form in late adolescence and persist throughout adulthood. Music heard during childhood and adolescence creates more durable memories than music heard at other ages. The music we listen to during our early teens creates a strong sense of nostalgia in later years.
pretty certain its same reason why if you’re going to learn a language its best to start early


renewables are already the cheapest form of power, there’s no excuse to be building new coal power plants in 2025


if they need cheap energy renewables are the cheapest, especially with the 3rd worlds links to China, building coal power plants is just ignorance


Life is not pretty good right now.
I’d say it is for most things
I have solar, a solar battery, and EV, stable employment, great job actually, not being invaded by Russia, Brisbane won like all the local sports tournaments, I have unlimited music on Spotify, AI has been huge for me, I’m getting so much more done, my local cafe makes amazing food, overall my life is no real complaints except
Housing
afaik housing is pretty much the only real negative we have here and it’s been a negative for me since at least 2012 when I was looking at buying a house for the first time
no one really wants to fix it.
I duno about that, outside of climate change I’d say it’s #2 on issues being tackled
Research by Gamlen and his colleague Peter McDonald shows that since around the turn of the century, conservative governments have made universities dependent on international student fees, created the 457 temporary skilled migrant visa, expanded post-study work rights, and signed nearly 70% of Australia’s working holiday migration agreements.
In contrast, Labor’s policies when in power have tended to tighten immigration rules.
When in government, Labor has raised compliance and labour standards on students and skilled workers, cracked down on shonky education providers and visa hopping, and tightened English language tests.
“There is no foundation to claims that Labor has followed a policy of ‘Big Australia’,” they conclude.
In other words, says Gamlen, “it’s the temporary program which creates a lot of the issues that the Coalition are most worried about, and yet they are the party most in favour of the temporary migration”.
Labor has promised to support the build of 1.2m homes, and 55,000 social and affordable homes, by June 2029.
I duno if they can build that many homes but tbh I’m not even aware there was a target prior to labor coming in


it’s crazy, even 30kw for 7k, i paid $16k for 10kw in jan 2023
now i know you’ll be loving this shit right here
l i m p bizkit is right here
people in the house put them hands in the air
cause if you don’t care then we don’t care
great stuff love it, would rewind the vhs tape after recording the morning music video show to listen to again


feel free to take it up with the countries buying it, or is it just the west that has to reduce its dependence on coal?


few on ozbargain:

Negative our coal use is trending downwards:

We are a bit similar to Norway in that domestically we’re doing great at pushing forward with renewables but we export most of our crap:
The main sources of domestic energy production from natural sources were:
https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/industry/energy/energy-account-australia/2023-24
So we export fossil fuels but at home we’re number one in the world:
Australia has the highest per capita solar capacity, now over 1.4kW.
We also I’m pretty certain (thanks to the Labor governments home battery subsidises) number one in the world with home battery installs:
“Based on the success of the program to date, we anticipate around 175,000 valid batteries to be installed by the end of 2025, representing around 3.9 GWh of useable capacity.
When you can get a 40kwh home battery for 7000 AUD (~4500 USD) to hook up to your solar panels (which are getting bugger all for sending solar to the grid because we now have too much solar being generated now) and just about go off grid, why wouldn’t you?
Sorry for long reply :X
