@luciedigitalni this is a simple sentence someone has written, but it has absolutely flabbergasted me. Completely gobsmacked.

@jpm 'now'? They've been a product for at least 30 years - I used to get them from the school tuck shop. I miss the little extra salt and msg sachet they had too

the Nantucket Current has been chronicling the first cybertruck on the island and is making fun of them parking like a dick. this is the reason a free press is crucial to democracy.

Follow up post: “We have an update, believe it or not” Attached is a picture of the cybertruck stuck on a beach, its wheels sunk into the sand

Went to Sunbury to pickup a Pixel 5 and the owner didn’t even bother to reset it and remove the phone from their Google account. Ended up being a 1hr process because they had no idea what their Google password is and had to ask a relative. They aren’t even that old, younger than me yet had no concept that giving me their phone full of data is a Bad Idea.

It's strange to me when I see people get upset about people doing good deeds, and posting it online.

"They're just doing it for attention!"

Yeah, so what? I'd much rather see people doing nice things for attention, than the people who do mean pranks or wasting food. A good deed is still good, even if it's done for the wrong reasons.

Taco_lad,
@Taco_lad@aus.social avatar

@RickiTarr a good deed done and shared, encourages others to do the same, some people need good examples to follow.

"It is clear that the predominant reason for low charge rates in the ACT is a failure to properly and appropriately investigate sexual offences," the report said.

The ACT needs to finally ditch the systemically incompetent AFP and create its own fit-for-purpose police service.

Balaji Srinivasan is calling for a “tech Zionism” that would see “Grays” loyal to the tech industry take over San Francisco by allying with the police to give themselves privileges as they oppress the “Blues” (liberals).

Some say there are two types of concrete – cracked and on the brink of cracking. But what if when concrete cracked, it could heal itself?

The science behind it is called a ‘biofiber’, and it could revolutionize construction.

@TheConversationUS so, like hotmix roman concrete with bits of quicklime still locked away inside that react with water ingress to seal the cracks? Everything old is new

Well argued. The current situation with housing is unsustainable.

"Decades of federal and state governments of both stripes walking away from public housing, drunk on failed neoliberal policy of outsourcing affordable housing to the private sector, has produced the current crisis."

@timrichards any government that thinks its a good idea to hand the keys to the supply of an investment vehicle to those that would invest in it, should be considered actively malicious.

Govt:"Private investors will build new housing, we aren't building any more"

Private investors: "So if we don't build houses, OUR houses go up in value, and we don't have to do shit? Score! "

Govt :"yes this is good somehow"

@stufromoz @timrichards plus, yanno, the bit of loosening the requirements for loan minimum downpayments while pumping the first home buyers grant (with few limitations) into the money multiplier machine that is bank home loans...

I couldn't invent a better way to pour money from the sweat of one generation into the pockets of the previous one if I tried.

Them : this Sender can't get to us, we keep rejecting the email

Me: this is how SMTP and DMARC work, I read the fucken RFC standards, and they're sending shit that's not compliant.

Them: they want an allow listing

Me: so suddenly their fuck up becomes our security flaw? Fuck off, no.

Them: also we think we should stop abiding by their DMARC policy

Me: why do they set their fucken DMARC policy if it's broken? No. Tell them we don't accept junk bullshit email, and to fix their bin fire.

Rishi Sunak is a fucking clown.

Does he actually think Doctor's notes stating the patient is unfit for work are for the patient?

Those notes protect the EMPLOYER from lawsuits.

Fuck me dead he's so incredibly thick and disconnected from reality.

Oh really? 🙄 Russia’s Foreign Ministry has been drawing up plans to try to weaken its Western adversaries, including the United States, and leverage the Ukraine war to forge a global order free from what it sees as American dominance, according to a secret Foreign Ministry document. | Washington Post

First time I build a nether portal, it opens up directly under a lava flow. If you go through the portal, you die before the nether loads.
It's the death scene that showed me what happened.
Sigh.
