The decision from Australia's central bank will be welcome news for borrowers, but some economists think there's a chance of another rate rise this year.

Who’s talking to the workers these days lol. I’m ordering ahead through the app to get the discounts on offer, stack Maccas points to redeem free food and to be in an out of the joint as quick as possible.

I've never been an active Twitter user but it surprises me how much they do seem to be getting away with. Does it really not bother most people? Last time I logged in (before deactivating my account like a month ago) it seems like people I followed were still going about using it as usual. I suppose similarly I'm saying that here on Lemmy having migrated from Reddit - and Reddit is very much active after its own drama too, I guess.

I have an alt on https://sh.itjust.works/ because I like that it’s powered by 99% renewable energy. I did attempt to sign up for Aussie.zone too but I think that’s still awaiting approval.

EDIT: Oh yeah and I do have an account on kbin.social as well

After Raising $235K, Abode Remains Committed to Taking on Adobe by aquarisces in c/technology@lemmy.world

Kinda off topic but the title of this post made me think; Do you think Adobe HQ is referred to as the “Abode”?

Netflix says people just kind of rolled over and accepted the password sharing crackdown by aquarisces in c/technology@lemmy.world

[-] aquarisces@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

Personally, the value proposition for Netflix is really lacking compared to Amazon Prime (which also comes with prime video and Amazon music) and Apple One family (which also comes with Apple Music, extra iCloud storage, Apple TV and Apple Arcade) which I have so it was pretty easy to cancel my Netflix subscription.

If I could bundle Netflix with something else it might make it worth it but comparatively the content on Apple TV is so much better than anything Netflix have at the moment, in my opinion (really enjoying Silo atm but have loved Ted Lasso, Severance, The After Party amongst others).

Apple introduces offline Maps—but how does it compare with Google Maps? by aquarisces in c/technology@lemmy.world

[-] aquarisces@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago

Another +1 for Apple Maps from me. I prefer how it handles navigation and even the look of the maps is nicer after years of using Google Maps. It plays nicely in the car with CarPlay too, naturally
