Funny how they have this accessibility button at the top now. All it does is to disable colours and some animations.

I wish more public websites were designed to work without JavaScript. I can’t imagine older adults with legacy devices enjoying this website at all.

Very underrated IMO. It has been a while since I last used it but I recall it was super light and snappy - even compared to other more well-known lightweight alternatives. It was definitely a pleasant experience. Happy to see it still going strong.

Thanks for sharing. I wasn’t aware. Also, TIL Hbomberguy.

The fact that people view housing as an investment opportunity is a policy failure; there are tax incentives among other things. The system only stays afloat if there’s a constant influx of new people joining, and we all know there’s a name for it - Ponzi.

Sway and Gnome

The latter is mostly for other family members. But I like both.

 

Now, if you live in the United States, Canada, or the United Kingdom, you might be wondering why you should care about the real estate market on an island in the South Pacific. The answer is that New Zealand is basically a laboratory for what happens when an entire national economy is built on the assumption that house prices will just go up forever. It turns out that trading the same increasingly expensive boarded up bungalows back and forth with your neighbours does not actually generate any real wealth. You might ask how an economy gets into this position. The answer, as is so often the case, involves politicians. (~02:00)

There are also lite and html versions:

Neither has AI enabled.

Thanks for sharing. It’s great to see many of the options are under AGPL/GPL. My faith in humanity has been restored!

What we need is a mandatory public register for lobbyists.

However, lobbying in Aotearoa New Zealand is unrestrained and opaque, with neither professional standards nor a public register of lobbyists and the clients they represent.

Thanks for all the hard work!

I didn’t know there were so many different frontends available for lemmy.nz. What a pleasant surprise! Enjoying the Photon one so far.

P.S. Awesome video too!

It’s A1, not A1 Mini, that is prone to the issue. They have different structural designs.

I think Chlöe is right. Unfortunately not surprising.

Unfortunately, things will get worse before they get better. Hang tight, support each other, and be kind.

It would've been a great opportunity to do what many European governments are now doing, reducing the reliance on US tech companies. Instead, they decided to do the exact opposite.

Sometimes I wonder if they actually believe what they are saying. Or is "AI" just an excuse to further push their neoliberal agenda.
