"Trusted" eMail Providers?
6d 19h ago in degoogle@lemmy.mlI’ve been using Migadu for last couple years with no issues. All you need is a custom domain.
You can bring your own client, but there’s webmail too (requires no JS if I recall) so you can access your inbox from anywhere too.
Labour vows to put $20-a-week cap on public transport, $10 outside main centres
8d 1h ago in politics@lemmy.nz from www.rnz.co.nzAccording to their website, https://www.opportunity.org.nz/free_public_transport
For starters, moving to universal free fares is a 10% funding increase, not a 100% one. We already fund around 90% of the cost of public transport from taxes and rates; fares only cover about 10% of operating costs (or roughly $300 million a year on a $3–$4 billion system). Fully free public transport is about getting the most out of the money we’ve already invested into the network.
Free public transport is what Qiulae Wong (The Opportunity Party leader) said in the interview below.

I guess it makes sense since the public already subsidises roughly 90% of the entire network?
Edit: Small correction. TOP says free public transport. What Labour announced is $20 cap. Not quite the same.
When a Housing Boom Turns to Bust (Patrick Boyle)
10d 23h ago in politics@lemmy.nz from youtu.beThanks for sharing. I wasn’t aware. Also, TIL Hbomberguy.
The fact that people view housing as an investment opportunity is a policy failure; there are tax incentives among other things. The system only stays afloat if there’s a constant influx of new people joining, and we all know there’s a name for it - Ponzi.
What WM or DE are you using now?
11d 10h ago in linux@lemmy.mlNice one, thanks for sharing!
Very underrated IMO. It has been a while since I last used it but I recall it was super light and snappy - even compared to other more well-known lightweight alternatives. It was definitely a pleasant experience. Happy to see it still going strong.
'Atrocious': Wellington's deputy mayor slams $600,000 bill for library website
15d 22h ago in wellington@lemmy.nz from www.rnz.co.nzFunny how they have this accessibility button at the top now. All it does is to disable colours and some animations.
I wish more public websites were designed to work without JavaScript. I can’t imagine older adults with legacy devices enjoying this website at all.
