- Comment on What's dodgy about the proposed Australian political donations reforms? | Constitutional Clarion 9 hours ago:
Have you not watched any news on American politics? A two-party system is a cancer to freedom and democracy. All we would be doing is trading one problem, for another much larger problem. The major parties are terrified of the rise of minor parties in the last ~15 years. Neither has held a majority in the Senate since Howard, 2004-2007. That is a good thing.
What you’re suggesting is to throw the baby out with the bath water.

Did you even read the link they posted? This is pretty bloody convincing evidence, researched by an independent and trustworthy body not influenced by fuckos like Palmer:

I don’t really think it’s funny, at all.
- Comment on Petition calls to ban Elon Musk's X in Europe 4 days ago:
…banning a service or application nationwide.
I’m absolutely against such a ban.
Good thing you’re not going to be affected by such a ban, seen as no European would have made the mistake of saying ‘nationwide’ in reference to the EU as a whole. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yea so still much less than a standard shot of proof alcohol. In any case, yumm! Enjoy one for me :)

If I remember my RSA correctly, a standard shot in Aus is 30ml :)

They look like the tall shot glasses that are closer to 1.5-2 standard drinks (of 40% ABV anyway).

Yea, that as well for sure.

That’s why I use Steam and do not buy on GOG.
Wait, why Steam? GOG only sells DRM-free games. Any Windows game that works through Steam on Linux, works downloading it from GOG with standalone WINE. Or via things like Heroic Launcher, Lutris or Bottles.

It was my birthday today, headed down to Ballarat to spend it with family. Replacement V/Line coaches did my head in though.

Can’t imagine any good reason you decided to block the largest queer instance on Lemmy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I have a Legion Go, not a ROG Ally, so I may be wrong here. But Handheld Daemon (HHD) (included OOTB with handheld images) supports fine TDP/fan controls. You get to it by long-pressing the button that brings up the Quick Access Menu in big picture mode.

Especially considering they did it with next to no budget. Maybe I’m just getting nostalgic because I turn 30 this week, but it feels like the internet has gotten much flashier and fancier when it comes to “viral” videos these days.

None of those companies are suggesting 20 years. They’re suggesting much less than 10, and selling investors on that promise.

Actually, we do already know that we’re close to a theoretical limit of increasing computing power as we currently know it. The transistor can’t really get that much smaller, before it stops working.
Also, if you’re talking about the article as linked, that is a mere introduction to a much longer paper.

Rich coming from someone who says we should, just, continue burning fossil fuels because it’s been hard to stop. If you want a serious discussion, offer serious solutions.

So what you’re saying is that it is indeed time to move on to eating the rich?

I think it would depend on if you paid in USD or AUD. If they’re processing the transactions in aussie dollars, then the backend probably goes off the timezone you’re in. And that website probably just does US time.
- Comment on NSW police attempt to block pro-Palestine rally on 7 October an ‘attack on fundamental democratic rights’, protesters say 1 month ago:
Yes. This is a tactic as old as time. I would not at all be surprised if it was found out that those people actually didn’t believe in the things they say they do, and are just trying to get the protests shut down. Cops have been doing that for over a century now with union protests.
- Comment on Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible 1 month ago:
That wasn’t just larger subs. They changed the rules for requesting a takeover of a sub, and there are hundreds of subs it affected. There are even cases of it being really dangerous, there’s a shroom hunting sub that is poorly moderated and has had life-threatening advice left up.
