this law covers the fediverse. aussie.zone now has a verification process

i agree with the above commenter: something should be done, but this is the wrong way to do it… it creates problems and effectively solves none

real vibes of

The laws of mathematics are very commendable, but the only law that applies in Australia is the law of Australia.

- Malcom (cunt) Turnbull - a conservative ex-PM

i think their reasoning for the change also was that it’s easier to read for certain people with disabilities

… so that’s where they get the DEI part from

… but… wasteful? what the actual fuck

it wasn’t meta spending on privacy invading crap that sticks around so whether it ended up as salaries or fake money it didn’t go directly to bad things

leaving the EBU completely over the israeli participation at the ESC would give that occassion way too much relevance.

whilst i agree, i think it’s also important to acknowledge that non-participation in ESC isn’t about non-participation in ESC… it’s not like they’re not participating because they don’t like israel’s songs; it’s about a principal. if the decision was made about israel to do with ESC it says something about the EBUs values and how it’s being run

non-participation isn’t meant as a punishment, and it’s not even really about ESC: it’s meant to be a statement to the EBU as a whole: we don’t support this and won’t support anyone who does

quit making excuses for not making the best of a bad situation and instead just shitting the bed and saying well fuck nothing i could have done

literally the same concept as a comment i just wrote about russian hypersonic missiles breaking apart mid flight because they didn’t put limits on how fast they can change course when going mach 5 aha

idk i fuck up and release buggy code at least 10% as much as management makes dumb ass decisions

but any software engineer knows sensors and inputs aren’t infallible … and neither is your code! you apply limits to account for anomalies, which should just be an expectation

that’s not even the most incompetent part imo

the fact that the missile tries to change direction too quickly and just breaks itself apart from the aerodynamic pressure is crazy… it’s literally hobby robotics 101 to put limits on acceleration etc

in complex systems design, you never blame human error. humans are fallible, and if the system doesn’t account for human error then it’s just a matter of time until failure occurs. look for a way to make the system tolerate or eliminate human error

it’s all internal if you draw your own magical borders!

geopolitics is consistently hypocritical… especially when it comes to the US… we absolutely can, and should be telling everyone to stop being imperialist but in lieu of that, we can just tell russia to cut the shit

or the argument holds water and also the US has consistently been in the wrong for the same reasons

i closed reader view and scrolled just to see and wow the POPUPS and 50% of the page length being ads

WHAT

who uses the internet like this and finds it acceptable?!

buys you a little extra time to move to linux

voyager automatically opens links in reader mode for me and it works about 80% of the time

(but this article it doesn’t work for)

this entire thread is about the STG petition, and thus about the theoretical possibility of how laws could change

mandatory minimum warranties are also not relatively minimal effort and yet we have laws that require those… most consumer protection standards aren’t minimal effort: that doesn’t mean we don’t make laws to ensure consumers get what they are expecting when they hand over money

why shouldn’t handing over source code to a game that’s being shut down (and apparently that nobody finds any value in since it wasn’t even bought in bankruptcy auction) be mandated as a last resort?

literally what STG is about

and the law is able to make license conditions illegal/unenforceable (like non-compete clauses in employment contracts)
