How to spot a tax scam (aussie.zone)

We’re in the season of tax returns and now is a great time for scammers to strike. Here’s some things to keep an eye out for but it’s not exclusive.

  • unless you have engaged an accountant, no one will contact you about your tax except myGov
  • if myGov contact you, they won’t tell you to do anything except check your inbox (exception is security codes but you will have initiated the reason for this)
  • if myGov contact you, DO NOT CLICK ANY LINKS. They don’t send them.
  • if you get a message from mygov and it shows a phone number, it’s a scam. MyGov messages will only say they are from myGov. This isn’t a guarantee that it’s legit, but the lack of it means scam.

Please add more tips below to ensure people don’t get caught out.

Cracks and Steam (aussie.zone)

I haven’t really worried about cracked games since I started using Steam years ago but I had a bit of a revelation today regarding my willingness to play something and my willingness to pay for it. So my question is are there any risks to the standing of a Steam account if you play cracked games on the same system?

What are your must-have top features you’d want to see in a Lemmy app or web client? by cccc in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Being able to jump back a page without snapping to the top is the only issue I have with the PWA set up I’ve got. Otherwise it’s great as is.

Why do people host Lemmy instances and how do they pay for them? by cccc in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

I’m thinking about it. Do you need a domain name as well?

Anyone here got any recommendations for paid cloud storage options? Given where we are I’m looking for piracy friendly options.

I love a double quarter pounder but I’ve boycott Maccas*. Double cheeseburger from Hungry Jacks^ does the job though.

  • McDonald’s ^ Burger King for Australians
What song from your country should be heard by more people? by cccc in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[-] cccc@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago

Some modern Australian music has made it to the world like Tame Impala and King Gizzard but there’s a whole heap that hasn’t really. I’d recommend Boo Seeka and Safia.

I don’t use it but Matrix/XMPP is what you’re looking for.

To fellow penguins, What is your distro? by cccc in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Mint on my media box. Still Windows on my daily driver, mainly for gaming. I did try Mint for it and while I did like it, I couldn’t make the full switch.

Show a picture, video, audio clip or text designed to elicit an emotion. Ask how the user feels.

What was the biggest culture shock you ever experienced? by cccc in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

10 years ago I was visiting friends in Melbourne. They casually proposed going out and hanging out like you would at around 11am on a Saturday. It was 9pm on a Tuesday. Blew my mind that most things were open and operating.

Where I live if you haven’t eaten by 8pm, you better enjoy McDonald’s because it’s the only thing open.

I hate how phones got big again. I think the SE is still normal sized.

iPhone 8. I’ve had it for 5 years and haven’t had a reason to upgrade. Battery is starting to lose a bit of life so I’m thinking about a new battery rather than a new phone.

Usenet Recommendation Request (aussie.zone)

Finding information and torrent sites is pretty easy and well covered in the mega thread.

Is there any chance Usenet sources and info can be added?

That’s my general request but my personal request; are there any Usenet sources that are recommended for general, music, anime and/or pro wrestling content? I’m familiar with XWT and Nyaa.si on the torrent side.

Slightly older (2021) article I found while searching for this place. It pretty much says what we’ve all been saying.
