fizzle

They will immediately move back to discord.

Honestly. Discord ain’t going nowhere.

Sure a few FOSS projects might re-locate, and I hope they do… but we’ve seen time and again that large user bases are happy to suffer any abuse their corporate overlords want to throw at them.

Nah.

Piracy was just my gateway.

I dont have a media server anymore.

Plebeian from the colonies here.

I cant help but adore the irony. The Brits had a voracious appetite for colonising other places. To get butt hurt about people from those colonies colonising the motherland is kinda comical.

Anyhow, Keir seems like a lame duck right?

Our own centre left Albanese govt in Australia won with a breathtaking majority, but seems to be squandering it by acting like conservative assholes. Ill be looking for more progressive alternatives next election for sure.

Piracy, basically.

Self-hosting wasn’t my intention, I just wanted a media server. Then a media server that downloaded all my stuff easily. Then a server that was more accessible. Then a server that had better Wife-Approval-Factor.

As a private person doing nothing illegal, is there value in having curtains on your windows ?

It’s not a question of whether there are things I’d like to hide, and why I want to hide them. It’s simply a natural desire to only disclose my personal affairs to specific parties for specific purposes.

Suppose I go to the pharmacy for some paracetamol and they ask to see a list of all the people I’ve emailed in the last 6 months, or at the supermarket I need to share my search history for the last 6 months.

There’s nothing illegal or anything I would be really embarrassed about, but it would be absolutely absurd. That’s the way the modern internet is built though.

God. This is the only reasonable answer and it’s way down here struggling to stay above 0 votes.

This thread says a lot about the state of Lemmy honestly. Well done guys.

Windows is the only choice because if someone does not already have a preference then they’re not going to thank you for making them learn where the buttons are.

That’s some fucken bullshit right there.

That footage of bike guy shows their actions were indefensible. What the fuck was going on there?

Why not demonstrate our commitment to accountability by suspending the coppers throwing punches until their actions can be investigated.

Fuck off Abbott. IDK why he’s felt the need to increase his profile since the coalition shat itself but I suspect that no sitting member of parliament appreciates his input.

As ever, his rhetoric is as divisive and out of touch as ever.

God I hope there is never an Interstellar sequel. It could only diminish the original.

I think he was talking about this when 9 was released.

Is the bike attached to him somehow?

Gets his foot stuck in the frame at the end but unclear what’s going on at the start.

How do you discerne between the smell of rain and that of earthworms ?

Ah yes. The low carb low cholesterol diet of diabetics with cardio trouble.

I can do this when everything else in my life is on track, but when I’m depressed or anxious it’s all I can do to put any kind of food in my belly. I fell off the wagon about a year ago.

Keep fighting the good fight.

A lot of these groups might not be as gender exclusive as they may appear?

I looked up our local mens shed and membership is not gender restricted. The objects of association are focussed on issues related to men, but membership is not restricted. I suspect that this is fairly typical amongst mens sheds in Australia.

There are Dads groups and Mums groups, and these are also not very exclusive. I’m a cis-male and attended a “mums group” with our new born twins. Yes it was literally called a mums group. I felt welcome, although at one point I left the room when I felt as though the conversation was headed towards the physical effects of pregnancy and birth on mothers, just because I didn’t want anyone else to feel uncomfortable.

I can see that a group which excludes a gender could develop a toxic culture, but I don’t think gender exclusive groups are necessarily bad because of that risk.

I cant dispute that, but I domt think its really true of driving. I think most of the world drives on the left? Much of the world certainly does. That means you change gears etc with your left.

Yeah the internet is cooked.

Im trying to invest more time in off-line things.

The history of harassment, Palestine, and israel is largely irrelevant.

If a law prescribes (proscribes?) specific phrases regadless of intent and context, they should be chosen very, very carefully.

Im not an expert, but i think other states require a context like “intended to incite hatred”.

By prescribing this particular phrase, even if you are correct, it allows harassment to portray Palestine as ignored and persecuted - the very intention of terrorism.

You’re going to have to elaborate on how “from the desert to the sea” implies genocide.

The fuck?

I don’t understand all of the connotations of the phrase, (I doubt queensland parliamentarians do either). I do understand palestinians ancestral land is bordered by the river and the sea.

That said, this sounds very much like making wrong think a crime. Nobody is allowed to acknowledge that Israel used to be Palestine because that would upset the Israelis.

In Australia in the last decade there has been a movement towards recognising first australians as the traditional owners of the land on which we live and work. It’s often mentioned in podcasts, emails, public announcements et cetera. More and more signage has both European and Aboriginal place names.

The term “truth telling” has emerged to describe the practice of acknowledging historical facts rather than pretending they didn’t happen.

If a group of indigenous Australians chanted “from the desert to the sea”, would that be hate speech ?

I have hundreds of burned discs that work fine.

I’ve heard this a million times.

I certainly never bought the cheapest discs. It’s been a decade but I think it was verbatim usually.
