Killed... To death!

But if they stand up for what's right then they won't get reelected so they can actually make things better Our they could maybe actually do the right thing regardless, is not like Mal needed the pension to pay his mortgage.

Imagine thinking those were bad things! That's close to 50% of the US voting population (and I'd like to pretend it was only them, but the rest of the world isnt necessarily better).

How the fuck did we get here? Actually scratch that, i know that humans are greedy, tribal animals who are driven by biological urges only sometimes obscured by higher level thought. The bigger question is how the fuck did we manage to make it as far as we have?

I don't think anyone seriously thinks you can actually get rid of cars entirely, but rather they're annoyed that everything is built around the idea that you drive everywhere. This is damaging to the environment, human health, and probably even stifles community and culture.

Cost of living pressures that are the fault of a worldwide pandemic, a war on the other side of the world, neoliberal policies, and policies that the LNP brought in and actively fought against reforming (capital gains reforms, inheritance tax, degradation of Medicare, etc)

Get fucked Voldemort.

No idea, but I refuse to use it on principle. They are still some small communities in Reddit that I stay part of, but I come to Lemmy first.

They spent most of the 20th century telling us that Russia was the biggest threat to the world. 25 years later Russia starts invading its neighbouring countries and the halfwits are taking the Russian side.

This is hardly surprising. It's immediately noticeable in images, but we'll have to be very careful with other forms of output as the decline could be subtle enough to go unnoticed at first. There's a very real risk of poisoning our sources of data by allowing AI to write back to them without oversight. And given that the sources of data seem to be things like Reddit and twitter this is a real concern.

Just a note, try to get her to sit on her legs straight. It's not good for their hips and back to sit off to the side like that. Wouldn't want that cute pupper to get an injury.

Fair enough on it being a board rather than a single position, the intent is still the same, it's a way for indigenous issues to be presented directly to parliament without being filtered by existing politicians.

I'm not an expert, but my understanding is that it will be a non voting position for an indigenous person in parliament to directly address parliament. Indigenous people have been very marginalised and suffer from multi generational discrimination. This will just be a way to hear and recognise their opinions directly rather than it having to go through the filter of politicians.

The counter to it is that it undermines democracy where the majority speaks. Personally I don't buy that; the hallmark of a civilised society is helping those in need - and we've pushed our indigenous people into a deep hole.

Yeah that's why I bought the dongle. I liked it so much in my Xiaomi I missed it when I went to a different brand.

I work in marketing and only recently realised how closed the internet has become. I've always held that social media can come and go, people can use messenger and Twitter and Snapchat and insta all they like but email is a always a leveller that always works - then I found out about sending reputation. There's a reason no one uses their own mail servers anymore, if you set up an email server on your own hardware then there's a good chance that your emails won't make it to the recipients behind spam filters. Basically, if you want to send emails now then you need to do it through an established service.

Threads has not launched in Europe because it breaks European laws. Yet 100M people jumped straight on it.

There's a street light outside my house, I swear I'm going to open the hatch and install a gpo if I ever get an electric car.

Some places you're not supposed to plug anything in unless it's tested and tagged. Unlikely to be an issue in a public area, but if you're somewhere that the power getting tripped would be a safety issue then best to ask first.

He's part of the public (to everyone's disgust).

You can buy little IR blasters that plug into the USBC port on your phone and allow you to use it as a remote control. Turn off every TV you see playing sky.

Every little bit helps.

They're also good for turning off Keno TVs.

I don't really get what the hate was for Google+, it was better than the alternative/competitor at the time (Facebook)

And 40% dollamite?
