@Sleazy_Albanese Can't do that because of the law, but let's just say, it won't come as a big surprise to anyone following closely

@unionagainstdhmo What exactly do they think will happen if their players come out? Lost sponsership deals? Not bloody likely! So it's just cowardice.

@Oz_Collector I'm so sorry :(

Call out post for a particular karma farmer on kbin.social

@pollodiabolo - this user is a karma whore of epic proportions and they have made a shit load (10-15+) accounts on kbin that boost and upvote each other while sometimes mass downvoting others that have posts trending towards the top - all to farm karma....

@StopMassDownvotingYouIdiot I just don't know why people behave like this :

@Zagorath If you say so. Maybe it's just me.

@thedavemiester "I strongly disagree with you."

That's okay - you're allowed to :)

Block function not working quite right

Hey, just wanted to mention this thing I noticed. So I blocked a user after a few rounds in a thread, but when they responded to me, I still got the notification and could still see the first line of their post from that screen. But the entire comment thread, including my own replies, was invisible from the article page until I...

@sendingmath Macron is coming out for the family, against the police

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-66045686

"French President Emmanuel Macron came out quickly and strongly in support of the family of 17-year-old Nahel M, calling his shooting by police "inexplicable and inexcusable".

The teenager was shot in his car in the Paris region after failing to stop when ordered to by traffic police.

Video of the incident on social media shows an officer pointing a gun at the driver of a car. The officer then appears to fire at point-blank range as the driver tries to drive off.

Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne said the video of his killing contained "shocking images showing a police intervention manifestly in contravention of the rules".

And Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin said that if the "content of the video is confirmed, there is no way that the act which we see there can be justified."

It looks very much as if the government has made a coordinated effort to send out a message of appeasement and pacification.

The police unions are not happy."

There are plenty of physical and behavioural differences but some of their preferred habitats overlap. When you say 'integrated', that doesn't mean they're interbreeding. Just hanging out in the same areas, chasing different food.

This site says the straw-necked ibis is "Highly nomadic, moving in search of suitable habitat."

@Zagorath There are a few women's sheds starting up too. But the libraries are a good gender-neutral space. Council nurseries could be another outlet.

@cnk thank you! These are really useful :)

@GloomyBagel me, no. I found out how to strip location data from individual images on Preview, and how to prevent it being imbedded in the image. But I like having the image recorded because it tells me where I was. I just wasn't aware that the images on Social Media had that info saved. So...I'll be careful in future. Not sure how to fix the rotation problem other than what you suggest. Thanks!

@GloomyBagel is there any way to edit the image to make it display properly for all devices? I'm not worried about privacy - I mean, I told you all where I took it - but I don't want it to be upside down!

@kerr thank you :)

How widely do you define Brisbane when you're talking to people who live outside the SEQ region?

Do you strictly interpret 'Brisbane' as the BCC area, or will you tell people you live 'in Brisbane' when you're just shy shy of Caloundra, Ipswich, or Toowoomba? I will always call Redcliffe, 'Brisbane', even though it was established long before Brisbane, but exclude Ipswich, but I don't have any good reason for either....

@dumpsterlid Thank you. 'Escapee' works just as well without minimising the real world tragedy of refugees and their oppression by governments around the world.

@ryand3rk wow! I finally managed to read a kbin post on Mastodon, and then I boosted it through my Mastodon account (reversing the steps you took to post it here, presumably :) )
