Brighter economic outlook despite rising unemployment and election uncertainty

Brighter economic outlook despite rising unemployment and election uncertainty

Seems a bit at odds with unemployment data and the cost of living…. I guess for some the economy might be doing well. Will it trickle down soon? lol

Documents reveal Health NZ hiring crackdown

I don’t care how mealy-mouthed you are, this proves what we all knew.

Of course the cuts being made were affecting frontline services. Health workers were telling us, patients knew it and these cowards still towed the fantasy line that front line services would have no impact.

Parliament debates Chris Penk's sacking over failed National leadership coup

Bit of a nothingburger really - of course we all know he wasnt a 'lone wolf'.

It really is just insulting to all of us serfs that Luxon cant just simply say "he tried to roll me and now hes gone as a result".

Mod Actions Log/Reporting App - Feedback

So I have been making an app to solve a particular need for one of the subs I mod, and in the process wanted to make it more broadly useful if I could.

I currently use the oldreddit modlog matrix, and modsupportbot to access different moderation activity data and manually tabulate them, so this app allows me to do the same job far better, faster.

Given the nature of the app, setting up for feedback is a bit challenging but I have created a post in the sandbox to hopefully explain the app sufficiently for anyone interested in looking:

App Described Here

Special thanks to u/fsv whos advice early on saved me a huge amount of rework.

I am the river, and the river is me.

Full disclosure - this is a heavy read. It is written by a kiwi and I took the time to read most of it. We dont get many kiwi-written pieces like this that deep-dive into authority etc.

The piece is not pushing a single viewpoint so much as trying to provoke thought about who we give authority to in our lives and the nuance of that. Something too few of us stop to consider.

I remember a time- long ago now, where the labour parties flagship policies leading into elections would be focused on the benefits for working class people.

New evidence immigration minister was kept in dark about major budget blowout

This is NOT looking good at all. Can’t blame the minister if they were deliberately misled.

Heads must roll otherwise the message is that this kind of shit is acceptable.

Commerce Commission needs more firepower to boost competition and wages - economist

To be balanced about it, I don’t think labour will do anything meaningful about competition either so this is a bigger issue than just the current box of cats shits in a coalition.

Best Starting Point For Non-Developers?

So I am not a developer - I have been able to teach myself enough about automod & regex to be able to do more than just the 'basics'. I am acutely aware that these things do not make me anything like a developer, just technically minded.

I have some specific functions that I think it would be possible for a devvit app could automate, so here I am looking for some advice on the best resources to invest myself in to upskill.

Any advice on the best resources for someone who is new to this, keen to learn and happy to invest time into the project?
