      Train announcements are pretty garbled on good days though? But yeah voice recognition is still pretty bad - struggle with it in my car. Have to try and americanise what I’m saying.

      I always used to think “automatic transcription is hard, mistakes are inevitable” until I realised even the most noisy mumbly country-accented American speech gets transcribed basically perfectly on YouTube and other places.

    Finally, I can see these on Lemmy.ml again. I think the federation issues were stopping any posts from coming over. Good to have this back!

    Really enjoying the cooler weather. Unfriendly reminder that loft beds only sound like a good idea and that you’re in for a world of suck if you can’t get air circulating up there.

    I have been banned from Reddit. 1st time with my seagoon, 4th time including all reddit accounts

    apparently calling out hate speech and racist lies is now abuse

    But I am not surprised, the troll armies have been brigading on other sites to get posts and people banned

        There’s probably a bunch of lurkers who never made accounts. It’s like reading r/australia, you just can’t comment.

          They can’t be stealing content from the little guys. But really I don’t give a shit. 😂

          I reckon there’s a few lurkers though that just don’t know how to navigate lemmy.

        I saw both the Friday messages and was wondering if it was some weird coincidence or not. I actually replied to the reddit one before I saw yours.

        But now that i know THE TRUTH, my reply to the Reddit one shall be duly deleted COZ THAT’LL SHOW EM the plagiarising pricks! =)

    Rocked my interview this morning.

    I’m gonna hate telling them I won’t be accepting the role.

    Two more interviews lined up next week. Today’s was good practice.

        Fixed term with no chance for an extension. If I take it, I’ll be looking again in 6 months time.

        The advert said 18 months, but that was incorrect.

          That’s on them, then. They advertised 18 months, and then bait-and-switched you to 6. They can’t be surprised if that doesn’t work for you.

            I’m happy to get the interview practice though. I’ve got more interview lined up with that department so having a bit of a confidence boost goes a long way.

    Miss Seagoon bought me some chocolate in Thailand.

    Yellow curry flavoured chocolate. It was revolting.

    Why does this even exist?

      I can believe it.

      Someone brought in Durian chocolate into work.

      Most people didn’t know what a durian was but my parents used to eat them and they were revolting.

      People got quite the surprise when they tried to eat the chocolate.

        Chilli choc is fantastic, I’m dubious about the garlic etc for curry

    I was at the Coles deli today and the young lass stuck the barcode to her shirt and then couldn’t get it off so I said to her with a straight face “just don’t try to walk out of here because the gates won’t open”. She then laughed so hard she really couldn’t get it off.

          Was there a previous booster you’re talking about or the 3 old ones from the stroll-out? I haven’t had a booster so not sure what to compare it to

    I’m going to bed, I’m stuck in hell,
    One more day 'til my knock-off bell.
    Worked long days and slept short nights,
    Tonight I’ll fly high like Franklin’s kite.

    Put a fork in me, I’m done,
    I’ve forgotten everything fun,
    Brain clocked out before I’ve begun,
    Oh remind me: what is fun?

    Please lay me down gently, I’ve done my best,
    Let the blacks of my eyelids put me to rest.
    I was so naive to believe that life was a test;
    This universe is chaos, we’re just stuck in its mess.

    I have the best news ever! My local Coles, which is a 5 minute stagger down the road is getting one of those 10c deposit bottle thingos. I just need to borrow a trolley now and I’m laughing. Today keeps getting better and better. 👍
