Yep. Once SMS was gone then all my contacts left and I had no reason to keep it. I unfortunately had to install WhatsApp as that was where the critical mass was.

They're sticking to the "get rid of every second edition" process I see. I still haven't even used 11 and 12 might come out before I need to.

There's nothing better to do in Albury than burn things.

No idea, but I refuse to use it on principle. They are still some small communities in Reddit that I stay part of, but I come to Lemmy first.

Perhaps mini blimps for birding?

They spent most of the 20th century telling us that Russia was the biggest threat to the world. 25 years later Russia starts invading its neighbouring countries and the halfwits are taking the Russian side.

This is hardly surprising. It's immediately noticeable in images, but we'll have to be very careful with other forms of output as the decline could be subtle enough to go unnoticed at first. There's a very real risk of poisoning our sources of data by allowing AI to write back to them without oversight. And given that the sources of data seem to be things like Reddit and twitter this is a real concern.

Just a note, try to get her to sit on her legs straight. It's not good for their hips and back to sit off to the side like that. Wouldn't want that cute pupper to get an injury.

At a time when they're ramping up interest rates to fight inflation you'd think they'd be happy to have people working from home, driving less, eating out less, and supporting their local community businesses.

Of course that's if they were rational.

I don't want my connection to drop out every time something shades my device.

With the obvious restrictions on how things are placed I don't see why you wouldn't just use wired for speed and rf wireless for mobility.

Fair enough on it being a board rather than a single position, the intent is still the same, it's a way for indigenous issues to be presented directly to parliament without being filtered by existing politicians.

I'm not an expert, but my understanding is that it will be a non voting position for an indigenous person in parliament to directly address parliament. Indigenous people have been very marginalised and suffer from multi generational discrimination. This will just be a way to hear and recognise their opinions directly rather than it having to go through the filter of politicians.

The counter to it is that it undermines democracy where the majority speaks. Personally I don't buy that; the hallmark of a civilised society is helping those in need - and we've pushed our indigenous people into a deep hole.
