Games@lemmy.world•Australia says platforms like Steam and Roblox have 'significant' child safety gapsEnglish
1·9 days agowhat ? im Aussie and im 60 I’ve been using credit cards as an Aussie for 35 years or so.
I don’t know anyone who doesn’t have a credit card, i have 3 with a $0 balance that are paid off automatically monthly (I use 1 exclusively and the others are backups). I earn a extra month of income in a HISA and get JB HiFi and Woolies/Coles gift cards as rewards. I also have 5 debit cards because they give them out like candy every time you open an account somewhere and never use any of them at all, aside from one occasionally at the ATM.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Hidden cameras show some stores unlocking speed limits on e-bikes, selling e-scooters that go up to 120 km/h | CBC NewsEnglish
31·14 days agoThat…is a pretty dumb take
i don’t agree
cars cause way more deaths, i’m all for limiting them to 30 km/hr. And even if scooters cause deaths its mostly the idiot riding them, with cars, the drivers murder other people … all the time.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is it just me, or are people becoming more prudish?English
14·15 days agoyes they are, US religiosity and prudishness is coming for us all.
It’s been a slippery slope, Bush had aid pinned to family first values, Obama had Hillary tie aid to stopping sex trafficking, (not on Epstein’s island though apparently) reads well in the news… alas it played out in the streets of Cambodia that women with condoms were jailed because why else you need condom unless you’re a hooker ? also gave them a reason to stop and frisk women. My partner and I were living there back then, what a fucking mess.
i use Webdav on Nextcloud, i also don’t know what I’m doing, so i have no idea if that’s a good idea

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•40 year olds, what financial advice would you have for a 30 year old?English
5·1 month agomoney (you need enough) so keep dollar cost averaging into ETF, don’t forget the world is a big place, so international as well and consider the debasement trade.
Switch to income investing when you “retire”, don’t try and time markets.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How do you reply to people saying "i have nothing to hide?"English
91·1 month agodo you shit with the door open , let me. take a few pics of you doing that
hand over your phone and let me take a look.
maybe it’s just me because im old but the photo itself shows why I have zero interest in owning a game, or any physical media (a someone who had vinyl originally, then tapes, seeing the back of both those was a joy. I’m also seeing “kids” return to analog cameras but that will pass, like bell bottoms.
a physical game that needs online authentication, or a server for collaborative play are all only here for a “short time” anyway, physical media aside.
I’m a reader more than a gamer, my books are all digital with no DRM, most of my games are digital from GOG and no DRM and are all single player, my music is all MP3 or flacc , zero streaming. It’s why I get pissy when phones don’t have an SD card, I can throw a TB of movies, books etc on a card and have another with me if I want but you streamers have killed it :)
