  • I was reading (admittedly just the article title…) about how over 50% of voters support the government’s plan to boot opposition MPs out of parliament for weeks. It made me wonder what context they give people before asking.

    If the question was phrased “Do you support a punishment for Te Pāti Māori MPs that is 7 times harsher than the most severe punishment ever handed down in parliament?” do you think people would still support the governments’ actions?






  • I’m pretty sure my Dad got the idea for growing bananas from someone he knew successfully growing them in Taranaki, but it does seem pretty tricky that far south. I was also the one who eventually had to dig the plant out, would not recommend.

    That plantation you linked looks awesome!

    Though I’ll try not to think too hard about why you might be able to grow tropical fruit in NZ now when you couldn’t before. I’m guessing over time we will see this possible further and further south.















  • One of my favourites that I haven’t seen mentioned is the Todo.txt extension.

    It adds a todo list in the tray synced to a couple of files (that I store in Nextcloud). I add things I need to do to the list, and I also play with the settings so it colours by priority and sorts by priority.

    I also use the ntodotxt app on my phone to sync items. The app is fine but I really like the gnome extension, very handy.


  • Well it was the API changes; and the general fuckery that drove me to look for an alternative.

    Yep that’s most of us.

    Thinking about it, I haven’t been back to Reddit for over year now.

    Other than finding search results to my technical questions, I’m the same. I haven’t doom scrolled reddit since Relay for Reddit shut down maybe 18 months back.

    Edit: Oh shit they went subscription based! The app still lives! Still not going back though 😆
