Oh yeah for sure there is, but whether structurally, institutionally we'll actually do that in a proactive way, I'm not so sure. Dairy farms carry quite a lot of debt so their business models are pretty locked in to an extent.

I wonder when they say sugar as a feedstock, do they mean like sugarcane or is it any sort of crop given everything we eat breaks down into sugars in the end. I wish these articles would link the reports theyre reporting on..

I think if this becomes a reality we are entirely fucked, much as we were in the 1880s when wool prices collapsed and a decade of economic depression followed.

There were a whole bunch of incredibly large land holdings up to their eyeballs in debt that kind of just hobbled on for a while, but not able to actually adapt. Ultimately, the government implemented the land tax to break them up to make way for more productive activities on smaller farms. I see a few parallels here.

I think there's some truth to this but at the same time Labour had a horrible string of this sort of thing this time last year, as did National across 2020/2021. ACT is a rolling dumpster fire at all times. That speaks to some of the pressure not being unique to the Greens.

Of course there's a special sort of nastiness that comes out when its the Greens because they profess to hold principles, and of course when they slip, that's worse than just not trying at all. NZ hates a 'try hard' after all.

Off topic but what youtube version are you using atm to patch to revanced? Mine broke a while ago, haven't been able to get it going again

Ah yes I have heard of onlyoffice, it looks great. I had assumed you need a backend given how much it pitches it as an online collaboration tool thing so hadn't gotten around to it. If you can run it locally like a ms office type thing I might check it out soon.

And the settings ever since windows 10, like the main interface is the slick new style but it doesn't provide all settings info, so it ends up back into the old layout/control panel that traces back to windows 95 (but is still better). It's all just a mess as far as ui goes.

I switched to Linux again for my home laptop last year and pretty much use it full time. The only major sticking point for me is ms office - libreoffice feels like office 2003 and you can never be confident a libreoffice docx is going to look the same when someone opens what you've sent them in ms office.

Plus when I troubleshoot in Linux I can use the terminal and feel like a real hackerman™ (even if I am mostly just copying stuff off Google).

I like the idea of a weekly megathread type thing.

I agree that the daily threads don't seem well suited to the number of people on here. One of the good things about here is that conversations can carry on across multiple days, unlike reddit was where stuff got buried very quickly.

But having a daily thing sorta sends the message that that thread is done after that day. Sometimes I'll read something from an old daily and think of replying, but then think "nah its moved on" because of this.

Lucky for him, this has been overtaken by the story about not reigning in Seymour for attacking the media and academics for being big meanies about him.

Honestly it's just utter non stop chaos right now.

8,000 more smoking deaths, 13,000 more children in poverty, massive cuts to public services looming.

Remember this, every terrible thing this government is doing is all to smash and grab enormous amounts of public money, that could be spent on services for everyone, and give it to landlords.

Nothing but sheer economic vandalism and greed from this government.

Aren't the figures on the package meant to be net weight though?

It was a huge project, and they arent linear. The spend isn't exactly proportional to the length of track.

That said, some of those costs definitely seem to be to route alterations and the decision to underground big parts of it to placate car drivers. They should've just got on with the original surface level plans and a new govt would've been faced with it partially built and would've made it far harder to just cancel.

That's why they're so hung up on race / gender / sexuality: those things are caste markers to them, and determine the right and proper role for people in their eyes. If someone steps out of their pre-ordained caste, that's violating the hierarchy and eroding the rules that keep society ordered-therefore-safe, and therefore inherently immoral to them.

You've nailed it. Also, if people start to realise these labels aren't as fixed they may naturally extend those conclusions to other arbitrary markers - like class and wealth.

Pretty crazy to think they got broken up in the late 90s/early 2000s for simply including IE in a fresh Windows install (im probably over simplifying but still). Yet these days they're pulling this kind of shit

It's been done at a town level before, with the same results

it could also just be a group of rocks in the shape of a plane

This whole search was as useless as those plane shaped rocks. Wait a minute.. There's a plane behind those rocks!

Interesting, my pihole stops the app from working but the site viewed on a browser works just fine. Video too.

Do you use a custom block list? I haven't strayed from the default one but was thinking of playing around with them

The reddit api blocking 3rd party apps pushed a whole bunch of people onto lemmy, and lemmy is very big on FOSS and Linux so it's been a gateway of sorts

I love the PT Wellington does have, and am glad it's there but calling it great and implying its all fine and not in need of a significant upgrade is imo an enormous stretch.

There are very regular bus replacements at the moment, they shut down when the tracks heat up, the jville line is massively speed limited, services are infrequent out of commuting times and the whole system is geared to getting people into town. It's not a service many people can rely on for most of their trips and it forces people to drive and create the traffic you complain about. And that's not even getting into the buses.

Wow, trying to take it personal huh. People who need a vehicle for work would benefit from people who have other options besides driving through fewer vehicles on the road. I have told you this before, but you seem to be trying to claim I'm advocating people not to have vehicles fullstop.
