  • I don't know about propoganda from a political point of view, but the amount of casual animal cruelty on the platform is enough for me to leave it with a worse opinion of the country than I originally had.

  • Do you know how to tell if someone isn't on Facebook?

  • I'm so glad I work in an industry where I can get away with using Libre Office.

  • On one of the commercial news channels the other morning, some yank talking head they had on for whatever reason said "I'm not sure how familiar you are in Australia with wild fires" as part of the introduction...

  • Totally agree.

    I don't even bother clicking on video links on random instances. Most are broken, and the rest are incredibly slow.

  • Why do Shorts even exist? They're just videos that are worse (no time bar, cropped to portrait, description and comments etc are even harder to read)

  • If she only uses the browser and texting, whats to learn that's different?

    I actually push my family members to buy Apple products because then I dont have to provide tech support but tbh if their usage is just tapping on like 3 different icons, there's really no difference between the two from a UI point of view. And a mid-range Android phone that allows you to tape those 3 icons is probably 1/5th the cost of an iPhone.

  • I'm surprised it hasn't been a law already?? Forget calling it "wage theft", it's literally just "theft".

  • 99/2000ish i suspect? It was an Optus@Home cable connection when "netstats" was still used. It was sold as an "unlimited" plan, but really it was 10x the average download of your node.

    For us, it really was unlimited because we were the only people on our node for ages. As more people connected, we started hitting the limit pretty regular.

    You could also spy on your net neighbours usage because the cable modem logging (available via telnet and a default username and password) showed every connection on your node. Not sure of the technical side of this - I think because cable was in a daisy chain from node to properties and back?

    Because we were early adopters, sending +++ATH0 in ping packets was super effective too heh.

  • I have a slightly unique version of this.

    When I was in high school, one of the maths teachers had printed out pi to 100+ digits on tractor feed paper (FYI I am old) and run it around the top of the classroom as a nerdy bit of cornice or whatever.

    Because I was so insanely clever(...), I decided to memorise pi to 20 digits to use as my school login password, being about the maximum length password you could have.

    Unbeknownst to me, whoever printed it had left one of the pieces of the tractor feed folded over on itself when they hung it up, leaving out a section of the first 20 digits.

    I used that password all through school, thinking i was so clever. Until i tried to unrelatedly show off my knowledge of pi and found I'd learned the wrong digits.

    I still remember that password / pi to 20 wrong digits. On the one hand, what a waste of brain space. On the other hand, pretty secure password I guess?

  • I enjoyed 90s Nissans when they made fun cars.

    Surprised at how many people are in love with Honda. They're either annoyingly loud and slow Civics driven by young people with backwards caps, or by old people in sensible sedans like the Accord which are also slow but at least they aren't loud.

  • Would I live on top of a shopping centre on general? Sure would! Sounds like a great idea to increase housing to me.

    But a Westfields? Hell no. If they rent dwellings like they rent commercial property they'll demand your income goes through their services and they'll make sure it's always a high percentage of your income OR a minimum high dollar value, whatever is more.

    Utter coxswains tbh.

  • What a weird thing to get fired up about.

    Who cares if the dude played a game of tennis ffs?

  • Yes, its certainly a shame that the majority of pyramid schemes have given the rest bad name.
