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.

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!

You're assuming it's gone read only because it's predicting a failure or an internal counter got too low, but SD cards aren't very smart. There's a good chance it actually did fail when performing a write. You can't override hardware failure with a command line switch.

Somehow overriding the lockout would just lead to a Knoppix image that has corrupt data silently scattered through it as bits of it fail to write. This is the sort of thing that you spend days troubleshooting hardware trying to work out why something's crashing only to eventually figure out it's because a program has 4kb of german midget porn in the middle of its executable. Just spend the $10 on an SD card that isn't broken.

Nobody wants a storage device that will silently corrupt data instead of failing safely as soon as it's known to be faulty. Do you remove nanny fuses from your electronics so that they'll keep running until flames actually shoot out?

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!"

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.
