  • I can see how that would be very helpful to some people. Thanks for explaining

  • Well now I'm not sure what you're after. If it turns into brigading that's a separate issue, and blocking one or two users from seeing your post won't fix that, right?

  • I mean.. I guess that's not ideal? On the other hand, they keep wasting their time, and I get on with my life. So I'm OK with it this way.

  • I'm not advocating political assassination - but it does amaze me that there are ~400,000,000 guns in the USA and nobody has even taken a shot at Musk yet.

  • LNP increasing.. Greens and ALP both decreasing.

    Fuck Aussie's are poorly-informed voters. We'll be back to LNP and right-wing coalition govt in no time, with the last 15 years of problems blamed on the 4 years of Labor rule because 'they touched it last'.

  • If I block someone - I never see their content, posts, or messages to me again.

    What aspect is ineffective?

  • Blocking is severe, but boy is my feed clean of morons (I think I've only blocked like 30 people on Lemmy).

    You gotta try it. Very satisfying to click 'read all' on your inbox now and then to clear out notifications for new (hidden) messages from trolls you've blocked.

  • WEP is insecure - that's why it's not used anymore.

    Quite different to a secure protocol that has had some manufacturers leak keys due to poor security practices.

  • Don't pay the guys on G2A for keys - they're just reselling stolen corporate MAK keys. They're also not legal to the terms of the EULA, so it's not a 'genuine copy' for the buyer either - you may as well just use Massgrave instead of funding crooks.

    To add to your list of options: you can also just leave it unactivated forever.

    It'll whine about requiring activation with a ''Activate Windows. Go to Settings to activate Windows" message overlaying the bottom right corner of the screen - but that's it, functionality is otherwise 99% unaffected (you can't change wallpaper.. Oh no). For Windows 10 it will now stop offering updates though - same as any standard Win10 copy, so I'd again recommend the Massgrave Dev route to keep the updates coming a few more years.

  • Oh that makes more sense. Appreciate the explanation.

  • Tech giants are well known for lobbying against any legislation that gives them less freedoms to exploit markets and regulations of any kind that impact them - but this legislation that was targeted specifically at regulating them and removes a significant number of users - "this is suspicious, I think they might be the ones pushing it!"

    There's so many people in under this post trying to turn it into anything but what it is - legislation attempting to protect kids from the harms of social media. Which, again - are well documented.

  • I'm was a casual RHCP fan until that book came out, I own a couple albums.

    Haven't been able to listen to them since. It's just lost its appeal when it's now associated with that attitude in my brain.

    I don't get how people can 'seperate the art from the artist'. I get that it's potentially a valid attitude, but my brain just doesn't work that way. Same with Jackson after Leaving Neverland.

  • In Australia we have this thing called school, all the kids go there.

    I have kids at ages affected by this ban. They don't care about it at all. They already communicate with their friends via iMessage and FaceTime (both unaffected by the ban), they walk to school - so they often walk with friends. Theres a small skate park near the local shops they also walk to and hang out with friends sometimes, they also walk to the shops and practice basketball with friends at nearby ovals with practice courts regularly. They go to cinemas or big shopping centres (malls) with their friends sometimes - but have to be driven there anyway so parents have to coordinate.

    TLDR: the ban doesn't affect a lot of kids at all, and they socialize more or less the same as I did when I was a kid.

    The only kids heavily affected are those with Snapchat, Tiktok, Facebook and other crap that they shouldn't be on to begin with, and are getting a huge favour done to them by removing them for a few years.

    Crows are intelligent birds and learn quickly – even from each other. In Sweden, they are used to collect cigarette butts and bring them to a machine that automatically rewards them with peanuts.

    Jump

  • Peanuts are definitely not ideal, but much better than drinking oil from restaurant gutters or deep fried refuse.

    Likely peanuts selected to be easy to dispense. Hopefully the program continues and they move to a more ideal food, but it may have to be something appealing to the crows to incentivise them?

  • Who said anything about 'prison population?'

    I said "extremely oppressive" which is objectively factual. They have a 'supreme leader' who legally controls the police, the military, the executive branch of govt and most facets of peoples lives. The ruling party is legally allowed to repress other parties, and so on.. And so forth..

  • Yeah, like that ^

    They use huge whataboutisms to excuse the extremely oppressive regime running the country currently, as though any criticism is unreasonable.
