While you are correct, your tone is quite dismissive and unwelcoming. If it’s to be a replacement, it’s reliability is relevant. On most of the update posts ive seen, users are generally appreciative of the work done.
I don’t disagree, but discussing reliability and access shouldn’t be met with suggestions to leave the community.
It may be entitled to expect uptime for a volunteer service but it’s also entitled of the project as a whole to expect users if the service is not usable.
I’ve had good reliability. My home instance advises when updated are planned and are normally for minutes. The timeline is generally rough estimates, with the caveat that the admin is doing it outside their usual work hours. The users thank them for the update and take an interest.
As much as it is opportunism, most of Trump’s power in the Republican party comes from people thinking he has power. The more that stand up to him as he is weaker makes him weaker. So, I wouldn’t be praising Christie, but let’s welcome the progress that his criticism brings.
It does ring hollow, similar to the anyone but Trump Republicans before the first primaries he was in. It’s looking for an alternative until none is found and then settling in Trump. However, it still erodes his strong man imagez which is blatantly untrue.
Every phone has potential unknown vulnerability. The problem is if there are no security updates, they become a security issue when discovered as they won’t be fixed.
Vulnerabilities in current gen phone getting updates exist too. They only get patched when the manufacturer or Google know about them.
The flip side is it’s probably had all the most obvious flaws patched already. Newer phones may not, yet. So be cautious is always a good idea.
Yes, the effects of climate change and la Nina and el Nino are real. I completely agree. And I’ve had the mould to prove it, despite being nowhere near any flood areas. However bushfire risk tends to be based on current conditions of dryness, not historical.
The guardian is a left leaning media source. While I don’t disagree with their fact checks and am in favour of the voice, having both fact checks come from a source that is in favour of YES is not necessarily offering parity of discussion. The abc also fact checked.
Why do you think labor were involved in deciding no fact checking? Has there been fact checking before?
I thought the convention was the politicians that vote on having a referendum decide the language. The No voters decide on no. The yes voters decide on yes.
My first instinct is “yes” but then I thought about it and I think it’s just going to exacerbate the short-stay problem unless combined with other measures.
While I don’t disagree that cities give better access and is better for the environment, I do disagree about the independence for young people. In the city, it is not seen as safe for a young person, like under 10, to walk to their friends house in the same suburb. In the country that would be perfectly normal. I do agree, car transport becomes a necessity for events and meet ups that are further afield. However, that’s also the case in the city. Just no for every event due to better public transport, but our public transport systems are not all covering.
Oh, no, I’m not. I’ve lived in all 3 you’ve mentioned. I think what is confusing you is that everything is on a spectrum. With high density, there can be safety issues and transport issues due to the density. With low density there can be safety issues and transport issues due to the isolation. There are different problems with each. Denser living will improve, not fix things.
I do find it a bit rich for a journalist to complain about blurring the line between news and commentary while referring to herself as Dr.
It’s technically correct as she has a PhD, but it’s in media and communications, so it does make her an expert in the area she’s commenting on, however representing herself that way without clarity in the short bio or article is misleading nonetheless.
I’m saying that when someone refers to themselves as a doctor, we expect medical knowledge. Referring to oneself as a doctor with a PhD in communications is technically correct but misleading. The exact thing she’s accusing.
Here it is in joke form, topically from a current shitpost
Yes, I’m aware of the history. It goes back further than that. It means teacher, really, not doctor as we use it, as it’s an obligation to pass on knowledge learned, which is a nice concept.
I do find it odd that you are questioning my ignorance while not understanding simple concepts. Or maybe you’re feigning ignorance. Well, when you feign ignorance and then show you do, in fact, understand, it shows your ethics more than your knowledge.
As it happens, it’s enough of a problem that AHPRA have specific recommendations on it’s use in advertising and other media. As they only regulate healthcare, I wouldn’t expect them to have journalism guidelines, but if one is writing about ethics in journalism, shouldn’t they follow best practice?
You’ll note the journalists bio blurb does not mention her titles origin, but her author page which requires a click through does. She could simply have Dr. X (comms) and there is no ambiguity.
It is not a protected term, like other terms, due to the valid, but less common usage with a PhD. However, there have been moved to make it so, including removing it from healthcare practitioners that are not medical doctors, like dentists, for instance.
Seems odd that the British pm is commenting and saying it is up to Australia to fix it with a referendum on a republic planned in the not too distant future. This after insulting the cricketers. Seems like he’s not helping relations.

If deflation was 1%, it means the prices of everything is dropping. It means that waiting to buy something means you’ll save money, so you wait and don’t buy. So they have to drop the price to sell more so they can restock. But then people wait more and buy less. So they start making less. So they need less workers. So they let people to. So people can afford less, so they buy less. So prices drop. So they let people go. Etc etc.
What you are talking about is a recession. It’s not favourable to rich or poor, but the poor will suffer more as the rich can afford their basic needs whether there is inflation or deflation.
Tech is deflationary for the same technology, as it devalues due to newer technology coming to replace it. The overall cost of an up to date computer, or camera, for instance is inflationary.
Oh, I completely agree. What I mean is that a not for profit can still live in the commercial world of it wants.
Not for profits still need stuff. Like offices or servers or staff. How the funding comes about without compromising the mission is the question.
Look at cancer charities fund raising. Look at Wikipedia. Look at Firefox.
The funding model doesn’t have to be the same for every instance. Some could be just volunteer funded or donated by the admins as a cost of their hobby.
However, the broader community will not tolerate a social media space that is not professionally run with uptime and lack of errors and downtime. The only way the commercial ones die is if the free ones are better. Look at piracy. It’s not a cost problem in music versus movies versus games, it’s a service problem.
Haha, I don’t put it on toast but indonput it in cooking for that umami taste. I think for me it’s just too salty more than the yeast or meaty flavour.
Paying millions for a non commercial channel that will likely be mostly ignored isn’t a win for sky. It’s bleeding their assets while diluting their message. I wish there were 20 sky news channels that nobody watched.
Canada’s foreign home-buying ban sparks Aussie interest, but can it fix our housing affordability? PRD Real Estate chief economist Dr Diaswati Mardiasmo said a ban for foreign buyers can potentially increase the supply of residential property.
Why not stop ownership by companies. Let them build housing and rent or sell it but not purchase housing. That’s for people.
There is no economic advantage to companies buying property. Only producing it.
For people we can tax any property number above a certain value amount or certain amount of properties. We want to incentivise building but not incentivise hoarding or renting.
