Random niche question, was there ever a time where flag emojis were read out by screen readers incorrectly because they’re a combination of symbols under the hood?

This is the Labor party bringing it in, so you can bet the legislation will just-barely-sort-of do what it says on the tin.

That’s what you get from centre-right governments…

It’s worse than that, the tobacco regulator and the company with a monopoly on tobacco production/sales is the same organisation 💀

Holy conflict of interest Batman

You know what, the people are alright.

The only part I dislike about this, is that I can’t find on their website what portion of the $10 you pay will go to building something on the land.

China is a decent place to live, but just as capitalist as anywhere else, and is authoritian (again, like many other places, the US included in that to a decent extent).

And no doubt I’d prefer living there over the US. You couldn’t pay me to visit the US.

What drives me crazy though, is MLs and the Chinese state, claiming that they’re socialist.

I hecking wish they were… :(

Thank you for somewhat restoring my head cannon haha

TIL then I guess. If I imagine someone saying this in a US accent, I just can’t picture it haha

telcos

Are we Australians rubbing off on the international English lexicon? I don’t know how to feel about this haha

End capitalism. It’s no coincidence all these countries are pushing this in lockstep.

End goal is the death of online freedom.

Get angry, get involved in your local politics to bring democracy to the workplace and the economy.

It’s not gonna get better otherwise.

If they try to retire classic outlook I’m gonna riot.

Windows 11 is bad and I was unhappy when I got moved onto it, but is bearable. New outlook is unusable if you get a large number of emails every day for work.

They decided: let’s rebuild it with none of the features!!

It’s funny because in Australia it’s even non-religious (well the churches I’ve heard of).

That’s how based the UU is.

All be welcome, yo.

Seek the truth and serve humanity.

my friends

Pls convince them otherwise.

Definitely, but we can’t let this crime against humanity happen in the first place.

Who is we here? I don’t think most countries have actual democracy. Certainly not the US. But the problem is not education (though, depending on what country you live in, perhaps that is of serious concern)

Democracy should extend to the workplace, and is only really possible without capitalism. You can never remove the influence of private capital on politics under capitalism.

For clarity. I am a socialist, I just took issue with the idea that socialism = whatever warped idea tankies have.

Socialism without democracy isn’t socialism, in my opinion.

Watch the tankies lose their minds over this…

I’m with you on being against capitalism, but UBI isn’t convincing as a solution to me.

UBI pre-supposes that the rich and their corporations should have a monopoly on the means of production, and you still have capitalism, just that the population are guaranteed an income via high taxes. But the power structure, and undemocratic nature of capitalist controlling everything still exists.

UBI is some dystopian stuff if you don’t combine it with getting rid of the ruling class and the other tools of capitalist oppression.

But yeah, I agree with you that we certainly ought to be working less than we are (yes, even if standards of living were more fairly distributed to poor countries), and in the future I also agree with you that we ought to be working way, way less of technology allows for it.
