Thanks for the recommendation. I have used general habit apps like loop in the past but they do little more than show a streak so don't really work to keep me on track.

I'm also not drinking (Although it is already the evening of the 12th here!) ! Thanks for keeping this community alive and keeping us all on track.

I wasn't really familiar with alcohol associated hepatitis. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcoholic_hepatitis

It still sounds like it requires a significant amount of alcohol. The article basically brushes over the fact most people generally need to have like 8+ drinks per day. This isn't something you can just stumble into - you need to have a drinking problem.

Having said that it is well known that alcohol is toxic and all the studies about drinking having positive benefits are very selectively presenting the results. There is no healthy level of alcohol - just worse levels.

It does remind me that I sometimes drink too much, although not nearly these kind of levels - just subbed over at !stopdrinking@lemmy.world to keep me on track.

I was lucky enough to beat the mad rush!

Apparently it sold out in 2 minutes and the (virtual) gate didn't close fast enough so instead of the original 1500 founders pacts (Signed and number) they have had to extend to 2000.

If you missed out the standard Blood and Soul pact will go on sale soon.

Finally! I would use GOG a lot more with an official linux client.

You are always paying for search. This is just directly and transparent.

The admins work quick!

Quick work! I was just trying to round up some interest from my fellow Canberrans 😅

Let me find something worthy of an inagural post

For what it is worth it was a great day out. Tasty food and people running around in dino and unicorn costumes. What more could you need ?

Thanks for the tips!

I know what you mean and it will of course be an uphill battle but I want to believe in Lemmy and cut one of my last ties to centralised social media.

Yeah it is a verrry active subreddit! Between the federal and state public services there are a lot of employees.

The AusUnion one is also a good community. The Members United caucus contesting the public service union (CPSU) election is doing an AMA there next week.

I guess the flip side is that there is no community for it anywhere on the fediverse at the moment and most people aren't going to take the initiative to create one. So you kinda don't know until we try.

If you aren't in the public service you might not realise how big the subreddit is and the potential for a Lemmy community. I'm happy to take the L and fold it if it doesn't take off.

And yeah happy to moderate. I am an active union delegate in the APS and I think healthy and productive discussion of the APS is one of the best ways to ensure it remains accountable and employee conditions are preserved.
