  • Ebay buys Depop for $1.2bn in effort to lure younger shoppers

  • That’s a shame, I just discovered that site last week and was excited to buy some stuff.

  • Hey, sorry to be a creepy lurker (I like to sus out new accounts) but I saw this comment and wanted to provide information.

    Apparently 3 months ago the OP was banned by another instance for 'report abuse' and this sync'd over to us. I've unbanned them on quokk.au, so their posts should start coming back through. I'm reaching out to the PF devs for some clarification around this, hopefully can resolve it from happening again in the future.

  • Modern problems require modern solutions

  • Yes that Bain Capital.

    Childcare in Australia is subsidised by the government, so the childcare centres raise fees and every few years the government raises the subsidy so parents can afford it. Once it’s affordable the centres raise fees again, it’s a vicious cycle.

    I read the meeting minutes from when they bought us out and it was all about how they struck gold with free government money. They didn’t give a shit about the children, just how much tax payer money they could take out of our country.

    Needless to say the quality of care went down and it wasn’t high to start with, injuries and incidents went up, and I quit to join somewhere better.

  • Daycare is a multibillion dollar industry. The previous company I worked at here in Australia was owned by big an American private investment firm (Bain Capital).

    My centres company owned about 70 centres under them, and their owners had many other childcare corporations they owned across the globe.

    I work for a not for profit now and while they run 76 centres, they actually care about the children.

  • #1 Post in r/BuyCanadian mentioning PieFed.ca -- 76,000 Views and counting.

  • What are some Fediverse server hosting tips?

    Jump

  • Using the same domain and swapping software is glitchy. We swapped from Lemmy to PieFed about a year ago and some things never worked right. Old comms wouldn’t update due to different IDs on other instances etc. it’s mostly resolved, took some time for some instances to clear their old history of us and what not. c/sighfi never recovered and had to be remade as c/sigh_fi.

    The new account might have solved them by simply being a new account with no known data on other instances. Did the other one have the same username as your PF instance had?

  • i just recently turned 40

    Jump

  • I’m not so far off 40 myself, it’s inspiring to see you look so young still! What’s your routine like?

  • Mewgenics: Some of the ‘celeb’ Meowing voice cast seems to be problematic at best

    Jump

  • Yea that turns me off completely.

  • Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate

    Jump

  • You give control of the land back to the Palestinians.

    Same as has been done with any other colonial nation that’s land was given back to the people living there such as happened with Rhodesia/Zimbabwe.

  • Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate

    Jump

  • No, it’s meant as a call to action for removing the state of Israel.

  • Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate

    Jump

  • Israel must be destroyed, this is abhorrent.

  • Thanks Blaze. It's empty at the moment but I've got some ideas for posts to start making over the next few.

  • I used to play as female characters because the guys never had good customisation, "Oh I can be buzzcut Shepard or crewcut Shepard. Hmmmm".

  • Indonesian teachers paid $170 a month as education funds go to free meals

    Jump

  • Re-directing 1/3 of education funds to go towards it is ridiculous. They could add to the budget, create new funds, or re-direct from something useless like the military.

  • PieFed 1.6 is released - pronouns, private communities, quote posts and much more

    Jump

  • I don't know how you do, so much so often. Thank you for everything Rimu and other PieFed dev's who names I haven't memorised!

  • The pipeline is real and it's happening to me in my 40s?

    Jump

  • So is that why my favourite sci-fi characters are Captain Janeway, Samantha Carter, and Ripley? Hmm even Buffy.

    Okay I've certainly got a thing with strong women, especially when wearing tank tops now that I think about it.
