Maybe it varies by industry, but I've been a white collar desk jockey for 18 years and I've never once heard of lunch theft in real life, only seen on social media.

Ha. Better from Labor? When it comes to digital rights they are terrible just like the liberal party.

Labor rubber stamped the libs meta data retention and secret software backdoors legislation.

This one is up there with the 2009 Krudd / Conroy clean feed.

My guess is that small targets like the fediverse will likely escape scrutiny because it would be a lot of trouble for a tiny handful of users.

If large numbers of kids started moving here once all the big platforms are blocked, and the pearl clutchers get wind of it, then the govt might move slowly towards trying to do something.

No users.

A bunch of those lemmit online communities.

A few other communities that tend to mostly just be identity politics arguments.

When I ran dual boot I kept windows on a separate disk to my mint install. I unplugged the mint disk when ever I wanted to boot windows.

Still had the clock issue of course.

Other half had a Peugeot 206. Thing was an economic write off at 10 years old with barely 100,000 kms on the odometer. Endless problems every service, high chance of stranding you. Interior falling apart, paint peeling off etc. Quality control must have been non existent.

Worst car I've ever driven would be a 2021 Mitsubishi outlander hire car. The way it handled corners felt downright dangerous, weak engine with awful CVT. Average park bench has more comfort than the seats. Sometimes in my career I get a feeling of imposter syndrome, but I can look at a car like the outlander and say thank fuck I'm not at daft as the arseholes responsible for that abomination.

It's been very easy. Although I will say my use case is a 9km urban commute. Any issues I can jump on a train to the local bike shop.

Changing a rear tyre on a split frame in the middle of no where would be beyond me.

7 years and counting. Have never had any maintenance on my belt. The Alfine 11 has had an oil change though.

when we approximate g to 10 they weep.

my guess would be old.reddit disappearing.

Google consistently routes people to make a right turn across an unsignalised dual carriageway near me. (Australia, we drive on the left).

This right turn is so prone to crashes that every single weekday morning and afternoon there will be multiple tow trucks just waiting for a crash.

To avoid this intersection and turn right on to the dual carriageway at a location with traffic lights is only a matter of driving less than 1km in either direction on a parallel side street. Yet Google tells people to go past the traffic lights to make this turn. Idiocy.

 

I'm sure if we keep voting for the Libor and Laberal parties they will eventually fix it right?

Recently made the switch to Graphene and am trying to get my main email away from outlook.com

What's everyone using for calendar event invites?

I have a mixture of some events that only I need to see, but others I send and receive invites to people using gmail, outlook etc.

Currently trying out free Proton, but it's a bit limited. For example if I make a recurring event there seems to be no way to edit or remove a single recurrence. Also would like to be able to use say simple calendar widgets with it. Edit, also discovered that invites sent from gmail to proton simply don't arrive.

Happy for a paid service provided I'm not treated as a product for advertisers to market to.
