Not all of when of course, but I seem to remember it was a factor. But it was so long ago now

Yeah. I’ve been using Linux for at least 20 too

Things like pulse audio also exposed a lot of driver bugs in audio hardware. In fact, in Windows, I discovered my awe64 was massively slowing down my system

I suspect some people are confusing the issues with windows 7 too though, where some people also had audio issues initially

How would business connections work? And it was only problematic on some systems, and only for a while

the audio situation before it was a total fucking disaster lol. The only real f up was no low latency really which pipewire now fixes apparently

And systemd consolidated and fixed everything too

Credit where credit is due. Writing a systemd script was so much easier than initd and it resolved so many race conditions and such

People just don’t like change. It’s the same when Wayland. People are pretending like x11 wasn’t problematic 😂

The distros didn’t choose this stuff because of business connections lol. And I’d love to see what red hat offered other distros to cause them to switch(I’m sure you have receipts)

Ubuntu even had upstart and even they dropped it eventually

I’d rather watch the A-league

I deleted my account, remade another

Defended lgbt people and fought against racists

Got banned for being a bigot I think a few weeks later.

I have no idea why anyone would want to stay there, but I hope they do or the Lemmy communities will get overrun by nutjobs

There was no way to argue against the ban either. Seems that the current strategy is just reporting people who hate trump. As long as you have the right keywords, it might even be automated at this point

Whereas, on Facebook, nobody gets banned, and racist comments get promoted because they have the most engagement… and the racists whinge that Facebook is getting blocked for kids

1. You can’t easily buy them, and haven’t been able to for years. Bunnings and Total Tools haven’t sold them for years. So, given how useful they are, where are all these shops? In other states, you have to use
2. List some examples of when you use your machete exactly and where? Every time I ask this, it’s always a vague response, or none.
3. Parks VIC don’t use them, and either does friends of Parks for maintenance. You’d think the guys in dense bush would need them…
4. Every lobbyist video was a guy holding one simply saying how useful it was talking shit about the government, or the last one was a guy hacking at grass and failed even at that (Scythes AREN’T banned btw)
5. It’s clear there was an issue with machetes. There needs to be mechanisms in place to allow enforcements.
6. In Victoria, they’re actually LEGAL for use in Agriculture/farming still anyway. So, the complaints are even more dumb lol

So, I’d love to hear your awesome use-cases.

And yes, it’s always the right wing getting upset about absolutely dumb stuff, such as Trans people, being able to own 10+ guns, paper bags, etc.

Yeah

The biggest issue isn’t even that fb is no longer modding properly.

It’s that they’re no longer modding properly and shiity ragebait racist contact is being promoted because engagement drives it

This link doesn’t actually offer any specific reasons why we should. Just that they don’t believe it’s adequate

They don’t even say what should be changed specifically.

I have no idea what I’d actually be signing. Without additional info, this could be one of those “don’t kill the brumbies. Remember the man from snowy River” things.

They need to be specific

Furthermore, at times I’ve seen people say “no public consultation” it often means they weren’t consulted, and there was a reason they specifically weren’t included

AI was telling other people’s customers that we owned the other company at some point, so their customers were coming to us for support and telling us that we had to support them

And I’m constantly arguing with idiots who use AI.

Good

It’s the same cost as a car and high profit

It should deserve a bit more support then only 3-6 years

It’s a play gun that shoots. Basically, it’s something that Australias shittiest people use to help normalize guns

We only have 1 state in Australia that allows their sale I think, and meta happily lets them advertise everywhere. They don’t care. Sure it’s legal for them to do so.

They also happily promote our local right wing racists too, who get a lot of engagement

Even animal cruelty or porn meta cares very little. Lots of hunters with dead animals all over their profile promoting guns all over meta.

I’m not sure 12 year olds should be having that stuff pop up on their news feed. Even less the constant illegal incitements

For me, it’s generally when I travel up to hotham (a 4hour trip). As I need fuel too and always tend to stop at the same servo.

But yeah, I remember my first big Mac probably 25 years ago. It was incredible. Now it’s a limited edition

It’s a small luxury plane.

I have a pilot license, and they don’t even let you rent them unless you have a lot of hours, and very limited aviation companies rent out cirrus planes

You can buy a lot of cessna’s for the same price. It’s clear she flies a plane like that to exaggerate her wealth, not out of need

Who did the machete ban inconvenience exactly? They’re not even a good tool for Australia.

And, if you watch the YouTube videos of people showing how “critical” they are, it was clear they had never used one and were just complaining, and using them as a political argument (same people who claim they can’t use the roads because of potholes)… or people who claim they need 10+ guns

Last video I saw was someone using it in long grass basically, and it was clear they were in a park from some of their camera angles, and we’re simply acting for the camera.

Nobody actually uses them. In fact, I tried to buy one a few years back, and nobody sold them anymore (not even bunnings)

But, if you tell the local far right wing population they can’t buy something, they’ll blow it out of proportion and pretend like the world is falling.

Even park rangers weren’t using them it seems and it’s hilarious that people talking about the ban never seem to be using machetes themselves, and are talking on behalf of people who likely don’t even exist

I got rid of my Xbox because steam felt better and Xbox still doesn’t have VR

The price hike didn’t really affect me tbh

McDonald’s is selling paper thin beef and costs more than your local cafe here in Australia

The standard has dropped a lot. I only go on a long car trip

Meta aren’t even moderating anymore.

That’s why they’re getting banned from everywhere

I’ve reported illegal incitement on numerous occasions and nothing ever gets done. I’ve reported violent incitement and it is never against community standards

We have gel blaster companies advertising to states in Australia where they are banned and vape companies using meta to push more vaping to kids

Fuck them

Pretty sure in Australia they might be too powerful for learners

I used to work for an apple reseller.

Apple devs were fairly normal people and were totally honest with us during developer training. I would happily have a beer with them

Some Apple sales managers were absolute cocks though. One of them treated me like an idiot one week in front of customers when I defended windows on Mac, and the next week, he was talking like he was a genius and repeated every argument I made the week before.

Apple talks lots of s*** about Linux. Absolutely don’t buy an Apple if you want a Linux system. The Asahi devs deserve a lot of respect though

Firefox. They basically were the ones who kicked off good browsers originally
