I mean, they haven't actually finished setting it up yet. That part makes sense.

People in the USA don't need to travel for that, just wait.

I see [email protected] is leaking again.

There's this weird belief that minority parties are supposed to ignore their own policies and just support whatever the closest major party wants. And not supporting the major party means they're failing in this duty.

So Labor could drop the plan and blame the Greens for it, instead of actually pushing for their own policy. And the media frames this as a failure by the Greens.

The same media that almost unanimously supports Australia's right wing conservatives, but I'm sure their opinion on this particular point is completely unbiased.

IIRC one of the big issues with Twitter was it didn't have anything set up to insulate the business from Musk's idiot whims.

The monk pays with a twenty, which the vendor pockets.

"Where's my change?"

"Change comes from within."

IIRC he fired his PR team. That's why his reputation went down the toilet, we started getting raw Elmo instead of the shiny image his PR team had carefully crafted.

I do, because between every online service being hammered by scrapers training AI and every online service being stuffed full of AI slop, it's ruining the internet.

Pfft, he's just some guy distracting people from what's important: rich people are making slightly less money! Sound the alarm!

So to wish ill on someone and to love the fact that they’re suffering, to love the fact that their family is being negatively affected, because I didn’t vote the same way that you did is [expletive] up.”

"Yes, I'm happy watching others suffer, but this time it's happening to me! That's not fair! People aren't allowed to be happy watching me suffer!"

Lemmy works by sending a message between servers, waiting for an OK, sending another message, waiting for an OK, etc.

That means if servers are on opposite sides of the world and it takes 0.2 seconds to send a message and get an acknowledgement, you have a hard limit of 5 messages that can be sent per second, even if they're both on 100 gigabit links.

Lemmy.world was sending aussie.zone about 16,000 messages per hour, which is about 4.5 per second. So around 220 ms per message. And it wasn't keeping up.

Now lemmy.world has... it looks like two separate connections sending messages to aussie.zone, so it can have two messages in flight at a time.

Since that started we've been getting two days worth of messages per day, and now we're caught up.

Yeah, it's been running at around double speed the last few days, so about 5 days to catch up with 5 days of lag:

You don't get how CEOs think - if you made huge amounts of money but felt entitled to GIGANTIC amounts of money, then you lost imaginary money and need to be compensated.

That's easy, their real belief is that they need to make as much money as possible. They're only pro-capitalism when it means making more money.

Yeah, everyone thought that Chinese cars would have terrible safety and quality, and then the Chinese cars actually turned up and they didn't. And the auto industry collectively made a whoopsie in their pants.

They're still pushing the narrative that Chinese cars are garbage though, because that and tariffs are all that they've got.

Punching up isn't bullying.

I've heard that's a thing - people spend the morning in church being told that they're better than everyone else and then they carry that attitude with them when they go out to eat after church. It takes them a few hours to sober up and remember how to human.

My BYD has a decent mix. It has a volume knob on the steering wheel which you can press to mute, and a previous/next button.

If you want to mess with your playlist though, you use the touchscreen. You're not supposed to do that sort of thing while driving.

Bonus points if they complained about all the foreigners (French people) in Paris.

"Hey, here's a useful thing that I recommend to people:

<your work>

It's basically a compliment
