Recommendations for polo shirts (aussie.zone)
 

I am getting a bunch of next level t-shirts from jiffy shirts. I would also like to get some polo shirts. Do folks here have recommendations on similar value for money polo shirts? Searching through the archives of , I could only find recommendations for t-shirts and not collared polo shirts.

I am not really looking for BIFL, but something that is generally durable and good value for money.

Do you have suggestions on plants that do flower over the winter? I am in Sydney, Australia.

Using clover to attract pollinators (aussie.zone)
 

How close should the pollinator garden be to the vegetable garden? Will seeding white clover in the grass area around the vegetable garden attract pollinators and improve pollination in the veggie garden? have read recommendation to intersperse flowering plants with the veggies to attract beneficial insects. Would it however have the opposite effect of drawing the pollinators to the more plentiful clover flowers in the lawn and away from the veggie garden?

It’s time to change how we cover Elon Musk in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] Breakpr0d@aussie.zone 23 points 1 year ago

I wish we changed to just not cover him at all. It is insanely hard to ignore reading about his inane activities.

How to setup hledger csv import rules for credit card statements? (aussie.zone)
 

My credit card statement has two kinds of debit entries:

  • Payments from my bank account
  • Refunds from retailers (say because of a return)

In my csv import rule, I have a rule that filters the first item, where I assign account2 to a dummy "transfers" account that I will match payments to from my bank statement.

if %description BPAY PAYMENTS
  account2 transfers:credit:coles

However, I am not sure how to filter the second category. They show up with seemingly random descriptions. I don't see a way to do an if condition on whether the amount if positive or negative. So all of the refunds get assigned to the default "income:unknown" category. I'd ideally like to assign account2 in this case to something like "transfers:credit:refunds".

I was using the jeroba client. I will try the web interface.

How can I subscribe to kbin communities on my Lemmy instance? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] Breakpr0d@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

What does eventually mean here? I tried searching for buyitforlife@kbin.social and it does not show up. How does my instance learn about this community?

Do You Think There Would Have Been a Large Protest if Steve Huffman Just Said We're Charging to Use the API to Increase Revenue? in c/technology@beehaw.org
[–] Breakpr0d@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think it is within the company's right to revenue increasing opportunities. That said I view the slandering of the Apollo creator as the turning point. It was very poor taste and their communication around this has been horrendous. It kick started the migration to the fediverse and a critical mass has adopted it. So now there is no good reason to go back to Reddit even if they reverse their decisions. Heck, had there been a different stimulant to fediverse adoption without any missteps from Reddit, I would still have transitioned my usage to a system where the users are more in control.

Is there one that combines Lemmy and kbin communities?

Slashdot -> Fark -> Digg -> Reddit -> Lemmy in c/technology@beehaw.org
[–] Breakpr0d@aussie.zone 16 points 1 year ago (7 children)

I realise that this is unpopular. But personally while I disagree with the decision to charge (exorbitantly) for the api and appalled at the slander hurled at the dev, I think that is an business choice and one more item that I have to disagree and live with.

But I am very excited about the rise of the fediverse. I know that a company will eventually make a decision that I feel very passionately about, but I will be stuck making a difficult choice. With the fediverse, it provides the users with the opportunity to have control. This power of course often comes with various other costs (lack of a dedicated sre or moderation teams, etc). But I expect that over time this will evolve into options where paid offerings will come up that allows for higher QoS where required.
