What’s worse, is this was the plan all along

I didn’t choose it (not my video).

I’d encourage you to watch it anyway, if you can get past the trauma…

No, it’s not my video, and it’s not like I chose the thumbnail.

I’ll just say folks, this has left me with a “people just like to complain” vibes.

The video is excellent, and exposing how the internet is the wild west of companies lying, cheating and stealing.

Maybe you could engage with that, rather than the creator having to make a stupid thumbnail to keep the algorithm happy.

The implicit song here goes hard

Weird take.

I’m in the “car bad” crowd (actually, it’s the "car useful, but should be mostly for emergency services, disabled people, deliveries, etc. including in rural areas for people who need it)

I care very much about the rules, and how it affects everyone. Rules make driving safer. Having 30km/hr default doesn’t prevent a town from putting up signs on certain roads to increase the limit…

This law is also good for town life, because side streets become more pleasant and safer by default.

Like, it’s not making the limit 30 km/hr on a rural highway…

If it makes you feel better, this may be a mistranslation from German where saying “eine Software” is appropriate.

I have never understood the appeal of marvel universe movies. It just always came across as bad world building.

The whole reason super heroes with secret identities works is they are unique, and not a fundamental change to society.

Having a world that’s basically the same, with truck loads of super heroes makes no sense at all.

I have seen only a handful of these movies.

Calling critics of a state and a polity racists is some high level bullshit

Did you criticise the Nazis? Pretty sure that means you hate all modern day Germans /s

Because of using Shelter, this will make my phone practically unusable.

This is fucking ridiculous

WHO IS USING AI TO RESPOND TO EMAILS? Like, by the time to “craft” the ultimate response, you could have just written the email.

This may be my bias as an engineer (not software, but chemical), there’s not really much faffing about in an email. You just politely respond, or politely make a query. It’s not very long, typically, and even if it is, an LLM isn’t gonna help you.

You don’t have to sugar coat anything unless there’s some fuck up you’re trying to soften. You just go “Hi xyz, could you please clarify when the design temperature is changing here?”.

Wtf is there you can use an LLM for in an email?

I have only used it for software troubleshooting, as it’s quite nifty there, even if it’s information is out of date, it gets versions confused, etc, still gets me out of a bind or spits out random ideas to try.

But emails? Those short form messages, just barely longer than texts?

Are we actually serious? It’s not a report

In addition, cooperation with traffic police has intensified and more traffic cameras and automated enforcement systems have been introduced.

Man, if I had a dollar for everytime I’ve read someone from Australia write online: “they’re just revenue raising!!!” I’d be rich.

We’re not as brain-dead as the Americans with cars, but still not great.

It’s SO funny how apparently for almost 20 years we (as in the west outside the USA) decided that using Chinese cloud platforms or networking hardware was dangerous and to be avoided, but private US companies? Nothing to see here!

Silver lining of the orange man is that maybe countries will wake up and smell the digital sovereignty that we sorely lack.

I will never forgive USB for the ridiculous naming

I think the original commenter means that Google got off with a tap on the wrist

Wait until Tremp finds out all digital services now need to charge GST in Australia (10%) since like 10 years ago.

Surely Trump could have ignored them, as an official act of course.

The percentages of respondents in surveys on infidelity answering “not a moral issue” from France are a bit of a cultural difference (from Australian perspective, anyway)

I don’t judge the individual, but I sure as hell judge them as a group, who keep voting for people who are doing genocide.

A bunch of Europeans in this comment section forgetting there are more “western” countries than just western Europe and the USA/north America.

Fortnightly is the most common in Australia, with some people paid monthly also (depends on the company).

And thankful for this. Monthly sounds terrible

🇦🇺 heh, amateurs… But seriously this is ridiculous, and straight up anti-democtatic. Single member first past the post is the worst voting system out there.

Inb4 they make mulit-member electorates winner-take-all (all seats to the party who got the plurality of votes).

This is THE fight USA. In my opinion, your ridiculous voting systems is probably why it’s so easy to suppress you.
