You missed the part where they lie about dropping the database.

Certainly seems that way.

No regulations to support a reasonable standard of living for the peasants.

Oligarchs mooching off everyone else.

Americans have lost so much in the last few months, not only with the bullshit spending bill but just the erosion of the rule of law and the democratic process.

I dont think time is the critical factor, but will.

If they really want to roll this out then they will.

Even if there's no pressure on commuters, rental places and companies will do it, then at least the market and infrastructure for them is improving.

That rats nest is the default everywhere in SE asia.

The cables are well insulated, and it's usually only the last 50m or so run like that.

Yep this is my understanding.

Most Western democracies have capitalism plus socialised services like health and defence.

This.

There are so, so many doctors who ended up in the profession merely for the prestige.

Doctors aren't smarter than everyone else, they just had the resources to be able to study for more years.

I posted about this in another similar thread.

Surely you can become a member of the democracy party and have a say in its direction?

No one seemed interested in that suggestion.

Also, Americans don't seem to understand that the dems have become conservative because they're trying to steal votes from the republicans. They can't afford to differentiate because they already struggle to win.

Well America has always been the home of the free. Its in their national anthem and a huge part of their cultural identity.

For example, you're free to perform your own bodily functions such a procreation in any way you wish, provided that you're participating in a state sanctioned marriage, and that you belong to a demographic which is desirable to the state, and that your DNA does not contain any markers for undesirable traits, and that you express continued loyalty to the supreme leader eternal.

Its such an enlightened way of life.

Aparently not?

Pulled pork has been popular in Australia over the last decade but I refuse to get on board.

Forgive my culinary naivety but it's something like slow roast pork with some kind of BBQ sauce right?

My assigned pot luck dish is roast pork. I roast it in a smoker with cherry or whatever chips.

Yeah but why would it be on the front pages?

Share what?

I can't really summarise this skill I'm sorry.

 

I'm looking for some kind of File Drop / File Upload service.

I'd like to be able to create a folder, and create a share / upload link for that folder that I can give to a customer to use to upload their documents.

I've been using nextcloud but I don't use nextcloud for any other purpose and it's a behemoth so I'd like to transition to something else.

Some of these requirements are essential (!):

  • no login for customers uploading (!)
  • optional password protection for uploads
  • can't see / download files already present in the shared folder
 

I can't decide the best way to secure our front loading washing machine.

We have twins. They're fascinated by the washing machine. Lights, beeps, action... everything. One twin getting inside and their erstwhile companion starting the cycle is absolutely possible.

Obviously we keep the laundry door closed but in a way you just build up the appeal. One of them has figured out how to open doors by standing on his trike.

I could put some kind of stick-on toddler lock on the door but I worry it would be tough to establish the habit of closing the door and putting that lock on. Besides which surely it's nice to leave the door open to dry out between loads anyway?

The washing machine does have a toddler lock but that's only to prevent someone changing the settings during a cycle, it doesn't prevent starting a cycle.

My best idea thus far is a timer on the power outlet. So you turn on the power and set the timer to turn it off after however long the load takes.

The problem with this is that I haven't been able to find a count-down style timer that allows you to set periods longer than 2 hours. Most power outlet timer thingies do schedules, not count-down.

I know this maybe sounds like an easily solvable problem - just turn the power off when it's done - but that's just not how things roll in our house.

 

Most small rural towns in Western Australia have a Co-op store.

I'm a bit sketchy on the details but my understanding is that they're not-for-profit's, they charge a mark up on the things they sell, but really just enough to pay wages for employees. Any left over money is distributed to the people who buy things.

Why do these only exist in small towns and why aren't they a thing in larger towns and cities?

It would be amazing to only pay cost plus wages for your groceries.

 

There's a post about it.

That post explicitly says it's not a place for debate or participation from users of other instances.

I'd like to respect that but I think events like this need debate and discussion because it helps to develop and evolve the culture of lemmy and the fediverse in general.

The post says:

This post is "FYI only" for blahaj lemmy members. It is not a debate, and is not intended for non blahaj lemmy users to weigh in and offer opinions.

I recently received reports of a feddit.uk user espousing transphobia. Specifically, this was a feddit.uk user refusing to use the word cis, repeating the "adult human female" dog whistle, and claiming that trans women are not women. I approached a member of the feddit.uk admin team and raised my concerns and sought clarification of their stance on posts like this, where the transphobia is mostly dogwhistles, and "civil disagreement" on the validity of trans folk.

I was told by the feddit.uk admin that their preferred response is this kind of transphobia is to "sort it out through discussion and voting". However, the comments in question are currently more upvoted than downvoted, and little "sorting out" has occurred. The posts remain in place.

At this point, the admin stopped responding to my messages despite being active elsewhere on lemmy. When it became clear they were ignoring my messages and had no intention of removing the posts in question, I made the decision to defederate the instance.

I know some folk agree with the feddit.uk admins approach of pushback through discussion and voting, but this instance is not designed to be that kind of space. Blahaj lemmy is meant to be a place where we can avoid the rampant transphobia universally visible on nearly every other social media platform, and where we can exist without needing to debate our right to do so.

 

The wife of a wrongly deported Salvadoran father living in Maryland was moved to a safe house after Donald Trump’s administration posted a court document that included her address on social media.

In an interview with The Washington Post, Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s wife Jennifer Vasquez Sura said she began fearing for her safety and the safety of her three children after the Department of Homeland Security shared a protective order from 2021 that prominently featured her address to the department’s 2.4 million followers on X.

“I don’t feel safe when the government posts my address, the house where my family lives, for everyone to see, especially when this case has gone viral and people have all sorts of opinions,” she told The Washington Post. “So, this is definitely a bit terrifying. I’m scared for my kids.”

Edit: nevermind. Turns out my email host is already running spamassassin and I can configure it how I wish.

My email is hosted at mxroute. I'm happy with their pricing and service and don't want to selfhost my email. However, their spam management isn't great.

I just realised that it might be possible to run spamassassin myself, which will set spam headers on the emails which my email client (thunderbird) can then use to decide what to do.

There seems to be a bunch of poorly maintained / abandoned ways in which to do this. I thought I'd ask here just in case any one else is doing this and can help me skip to the end.

I was hoping for a docker container (or compose stack) that provides an IMAP proxy and runs spamassassin.

Any ideas and insights welcome. My email juggling could use some improvement.
