I've heard the name blue collar jobs used for trades and people who work more hands on compared to white collar jobs of people who work in the office.

Not banned but I like here more. I left during the Exodus/ blackouts/shutdowns. In another life I was a mod for a moderately successful sub and after going into the rabbit hole and seeing the app timer increase to hours a day, I felt they could at least gift mods premium and they could skip ads. After some drama and a high caliber mod left the sub, I followed shortly after as the community has grown and changed.

Ridiculously fast.

Bullet train fast. But in terms of cars, he would have been driving around three times the highest legal limit I know of on highways in Australia (110km/hr). Its about as fast a formula 1 cars or out V8 cars going full speed.

The fastest production car (Bugatti Veyron can go 431km/h)

Case closed. https://lemmy.world/c/anaussiephotographersnotes will have to do. Thank you. I'll see about closing the other test community I created.

Ive got some more info. Good news, sites not broken. edits to follow shortly.

Edit: Ive done some more testing and it looks like the length of the community name is the issue.

I was looking to create the community 'anaustralianphotographersnotesbook' but that seems to be too long.

I have successfully created some communities with shorter names (not display names).

I have to head out and will be away for a while, but can come back and do another reply in approx 12-14 hours after trying some more. I will see if i can replicate creating a community name y . Maybe its an issue with lemmy software and not the instance.

I was trying to create a community i could use and make posts like useful linux commands that others might be as ive searched for some things and gone to tech forums.

I wanted to have a place i could write some things (within site rules of course) and not have anyone else delete.

Thanks for looking into it. I just tried again (on desktop and mobile earlier) but im still getting the same symptoms.

My first thought was to start work on a de-replicator. Lot of people about to have a lot of junk in their house and it'll pile up quickly.

Not sure how long it'll take until the earth becomes a black hole.

I might also try and put a few new squares on the periodic table.

I am happy to raise a bug with Lemmy software at GitHub if the text about lowercase is outside your control.

 

I tried, but when I clicked create, it didn't proceed or give an error message, more details below.

I'm looking to create a new community, so i clicked on the 'Create Community' button on the top.

I entered in a community name (all lowercase, no spaces) and then a display name.

I added a short description and selected english.

I clicked create and got a hourglass like icon for about a second and then nothing. A new page didnt appear, i checked my profile and cannot see the new community name.

I checked a post a few hours ago in Lemmy World support and someone else is having trouble.

Ive also tried on two devices, desktop & mobile.

p.s. on mobile there is a issue that could result in butting heads where if you hover over the create community textbox it gives text of 'lowercase, underscores and no spaces' but these constrains are not listed in the ? next to Create community. When i was on mobile i wasnt able to get the hovertext and if it was my first time creating a community, i may not have been able to see this info.

Thanks.

 

Was out on a walk earlier today and wanted to do something sort of Christmas related and try and help people pass on virtual presents in the form of community suggestions.

What is a community you think more people should be subscribed to and why?

My answer is https://lemmy.world/c/superbowl ( Superb Owl, not Superbowl. It's a community about birds, not americal football) and there is frequently high quality images of owls posted which I find cute and I wish I could take shots like that. P.s. I know birds aren't everyone's thing, but I wanted to use it as an example.

And I the community is NSFW but the name isn't obvious, flag it as NSFW.

I was out recently noticed two Tawnys in a tree, i was surpirsed as the last i saw any was around a year ago and it was just one where i’d always seen two together.

These two looked very tired. The one on the left was more awake and i felt like i was being glared at. ‘Dude, I’m watching you, I don’t like you and if you come closer, we might have to move, and we really, really don’t want to do that’.

So i came close enough to get this shot and left them in peace but am keeping an eye out for them the next time in the area.

Mods: Sorry if this doesnt fit the sub, but I think people commonly mistake Tawny's for Owls, and they're the closest animals to owls Im likely to see. The image is Original Content (taken by me). Let me know and i'll post to birding or just pics.

Hi Lemmy.World Admins and Support Staff,

I like this place a lot and wanted to give you a heads up pollies down under passed some new laws.

The govt wants a ban on social media for everyone under 16. This week was the last sitting week of parliament and a few bills were passed by both houses and are set to become law. (See link).

I'm not after any immediate reaction or actions, but looking to bring it to your attention for you to discuss (edit:internally) how you would react. I haven't seen the legislation and don't know how this is meant to be mechanized and it seems pretty hard to do.

Some other tech giants have already made statements as this appears to be a worldwide first.

Edit: I might have a look at the laws text and put some details here as a comment

I recently did some freelance work and due to a misunderstanding of what would actually be delivered, I decided to draft up a short but written agreement for future clients.

Although a written discussion was had about what was to be done, it appears both parties had different ideas about what would happen.

Im largely dealing with a client I get on well with and wanted to keep things simple and the template I've got is:-

Event name:

Event dates:

Overview of services to be be provided onsite:

Specific services (if any) : (shots considered essential)

Dependencies:

Deliverables: (quantity, format , delivery timeline)

Copyright: (stay with photographer or rights to be signed over)

Post event services: (any editing that may take significant time)

Cost and payment schedule: (booking fee, payment milestones)

Limitation of Liability: under no circumstances shall I be considered liable for more than the agreed cost of services to be provided.

Travel arrangements: (these might be omitted from what is sent to the client but should be considered)

Accommodation:

Food / Incidentals:

Is there anything you would add ?

Edit: if it was something I'd consider for use with the general public then I would go through a lot more rigour and probably involve lawyers.

This young koala was still new to climbing on its own and was moving slowly and mum was nearby on another branch. It was moving to eat some leaves.

It managed to find itself under the branch at some point, but got on top again and carried on.
