America will use anything except the metric system

Sucks for them. This is what happens when you buy into the corporate, locked down, sanitised and monetised walled garden.

Privacy first and FLOSS software have been out there the whole time for people willing to invest the time (and money, but often it's cheaper than the commercial option) to learn them and gain those benefits for themselves.

But if people want a device so they pick up the one with the shiniest marketing and then wonder why it's shoving ads down their throat, well, that's what they get for not researching the options. There are alternatives, they've been posted many times over in this thread and similar ones.

If it really starts supporting ActivityPub, you could start seeing Threads posts in a fediverse feed that also includes posts from Mastodon, Reddit alternative Lemmy, and any other platform that runs on the protocol.

Please no. The last thing Lemmy needs is a tsunami of Facebook normies. Instant Eternal September.

What does make sense is using Edge to download Firefox ;)

Right? I'm actually sympathetic towards the "gun is a tool" argument. I grew up on a farm and have been hunting, I can relate.

And those people who carry pocket knives and multi tools (and as a technician, I'm one of them) are presumably often encountering situations where those tools are useful. What are the situations where a gun is useful? What is the kind of job that tool is designed for?

I'm convinced that it's at least a little bit about the "OMG A GUN feeling". I don't see people walking around the street with a ball peen hammer holstered to their belt.

Why do you carry tools around with you all day? Do you also carry a hammer, reciprocating saw, spirit level or tape measure?

When has China ever threatened to bomb Australia?

"You should let criminal acts go unpunished so your side can do them too" is certainly a hot take

Update failed. Maybe this wouldn't have happened if you spent a bit of time thinking about my needs

That wording is emotional manipulation, they are as recognised as any other Australian citizen

Edit: do you guys know the difference between "recognised" and "disadvantaged"? Because you're arguing against a point that I didn't make

Owning a car is not bourgeois. Owning a business is.

If you could stop going to work tomorrow and still pay your bills because your assets are generating sufficient income to cover your expenses and still accumulate, you're in the capital class. If you trade your time and labour for income and quitting work would mean your resources will get depleted, you're working class.

And if you think that you're not working class because you sit in an office and work on a computer, then that's exactly what the ownership class wants you to believe so you'll be happy with your lot and not rock the boat.

So can anyone with a copy of mspaint. Sick of these attempts to sterilise and censor

Pick me

Assuming that the common thread is accentuating gender characteristics to an absurd extent for attention

If (the royal) you can't figure out Plex et al, then you pay the normie tax and deal with the corporations dictating your media consumption, and pay them out the ass for the privilege.

No such thing as having your cake and eating it too, but if you learn how to bake then you can eat all the cake you want.

Aussie here. Our entire dialect is one weird idiom.

Sorry mate but being overweight is a sign of being unhealthy. Your skinny mate who eats 10 dimmies is also unhealthy. There are plenty of unhealthy skinny people.

Edit: in case I come across as preachy, I'm overweight and I'll readily admit it's unhealthy

I've seen the Tom Hanks dental plan and it involved an ice skate

The drug and cigarette analogy is dramatic, but the real heat is going to come from the claim that they only care about the supply side of the equation, not demand. In other words, their audience is locked in and has no power, and the ad suppliers (Google themselves) set the market conditions.

That is dangerously close to monopoly talk.

I doubt

I'd wager

I'd assume

You have a news article linked here which clearly spells out an example of this happening yet you still lean on assumptions that it couldn't possibly happen

Is it being suggested to people who don't have a terminal disease?
