I will never forgive USB for the ridiculous naming

I’m glad I watched some video on this I vaguely recalled, as I may have accidentally thrown a shaver away because it wasn’t charging…

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.

I’m thinking of keeping timer next to me for all the time I waste literally waiting for Windows 11 to load the bloody right click menu (and other things) at work.

My 5D chess move would be:

• Go: ok bet, you wanna shut it down? Your stores are now in immediate administration under some eminent domain law
• In order to mitigate political backlash, make it known that they’re able to sell their business to someone else, or the city, provided that the subsequent owner is bound to either run it, or sell it to the city

Watch them get mad because you haven’t technically seized it, they can still sell the business (maintaining the sacrosanct rights to private property capitalists love so much), you’ve just prevented them from closing it down, and everyone gets to keep their jobs :)

Should be at least streamed to a server not controlled by the police, including things like charge levels so they can’t claim “oh whoops, it ran out of charge!”. A specific organisation within the judiciary, perhaps?

This way they’re gonna need to get far more creative in concealing video.

And if you’re found to do something that is concealing evidence, well that’s a crime by itself

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

Not sure if you have seen this person religiously commenting better quality versions of comics and pictures on other people’s posts, this is extremely high praise!

You’ve gained a medal from a Lemmy staple

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)

In most of the US, who you vote for literally doesn’t matter, because your state will go to the candidate from whatever party has won your state for the last couple decades. Unless you live in the 8 or so states that could actually, realistically flip in a given election cycle, there’s literally no point in voting for the lesser of two evils.

I am aware of this, last I checked there were number electorates where non-voters (as compared with 2020) and third-party voters could have swayed the outcome. My assertion that not voting for the lesser of two evils where possible to do so is dumb in general. I am aware that certain places it is pointless to vote for the democrats.

Especially with the hodge-podge nature of it not really bring a federal election, and instead being a bunch of state/territory elections with different rules for each (gross).

If you understand that [you’re in a very safe seat], you can be free to actually vote your conscience and pick one of the third party candidates

I agree. Where I draw the line is in seats where it is possible to vote lesser of two evils.

Seems you understand tactical voting quite well! I have no issue with you.

I only have a problem with the drop-kicks that assert tactical voting is morally wrong, instead of necessary.

Godspeed on fixing your voting systems friend

Welcome to the reality of the broken US voting system bud

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.

Because ethanol forms an azeotrope with water, 100% ethanol is also considerably more expensive than ~95%

They’re definitely not gonna use 100% ethanol haha

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

I think you’re missing my point. Megacorps taking advantage of browser features should be outlawed, and cookie banners to opt-out of tracking cookies are a weird waste of time.

What that means for small hobbyist projects requiring the use of Cross-Site cookies is outside the scope of my opinion. I have no idea about how such things could be feasibly policed, just that I’m not convinced they couldn’t ever be.

But if I’m deciding between the collective wellbeing of everyone’s privacy and a small hobbyist project needing to add an opt in? I’m picking the opt in, which I mean, obviously, if the person wants to use your features, an extra click isn’t too much to ask

I don’t see why you’d need to throw out that baby with this bathwater.

My point is the same as yours. You ought not need to “reject” cookies for the purposes of tracking you for marketing, or other defined illegitimate purposes. It should just be illegal by default.

And if you want to opt in for some specific feature, as you suggest, you could (as long as you still legislate you can’t bundle more tracking along with it).

Things should just do what is says on the tin.

In my opinion.

They cant maintain the costs of research & debelopment nor the hosting. So they have to paywall their site or close the doors

The irony of posting this comment on Lemmy, which runs based on donations. It isn’t paywalled, and doesn’t require data mining to operate. As well as Wikipedia which is completely free, and wildly successful. Which again doesn’t need to violate your privacy to continue existing.

Not to mention, not every website is making money off selling your data, and are instead selling goods or services. Which can continue to operate and make money just fine.

The fact you think the economy would collapse because data miners would lose their jobs, is showing your bias.

Nek minnit you’ll be telling me we ought not stop fighting needless wars whenever the US beckons us, because of all the poor weapons contractors losing work (massive hyperbole, but you get my point).

People working in data mining have heaps of transferrable skills, they would be totally fine.

The internet existed before enshitification, and it certainly could afterwards.

Would you have to pay a little more to access certain things? Sure. But I find the argument that the internet would cease to function very unconvincing.
