Australia: solidarity march against government takeover of union
  • I like unions. But the CFMEU, as I understand it (which is 30% at best), is a corrupt and criminally associated union.

    Anecdotally, members of the CFMEU have always been the worst kind of people to be in a public space with. The few acquaintances I have in the union are racist, sexist, and generally unpleasant.

    So ultimately while I think the government should keep off, the CFMEU is not an organisation I'd personally rally around - owing to internal culture and criminal/gang associations.

  • nice ... out there...
  • I like it when I have plans - camping, long motorcycle trips, board games with friends. Totally with you otherwise during work periods. Seeing the possibility and being unable to do anything with it is the worst.

  • Spring has sprung in Melbourne. First warm weekend of great riding.

    A long trip to a regional tavern covering (some of) the best roads in the area.

  • Stole $1000 (likely from someone who wouldn't realise it's even gone) to prevent untold trauma. I understand it's a grey situation but knowing how damaging conversion therapy can be to a person, I'd say theft is certainly the lesser of two evils.

  • Mozilla wants users to take part in a survey about browser features
  • You're bang on. It's called MaxDiff. I use it frequently in my line of work to prioritise product or service messaging with panel data. It's better in some cases to use Inferred preference rather than stated, but generally good to keep the options comparable in "size" of offer.

    I would never interpret a MaxDiff model low end result as "wow, 5% of people want slower browsers." Instead I'm focusing on the top cluster. As with any model, they're only ever so accurate. Don't read into the questions too much.

  • You may not have realised but I wager the dominant majority of Lemmy's userbase is American. So the dominant discussion will be focused on America.

    I agree with you, it is not limited to America. But all any of us can really offer here is an anecdote.

    Anecdotally I watched my partner go through this is in Australia for PCOS. Many doctors seem to be unable to reconcile that they don't know literally everything.

  • Morning rides in the winter make for some great memories, and great photos.
  • This was a morning ride I'll never forget. For about ten minutes on this road I was riding towards a rainbow which seemed just around the corner. At one stage a hawk or eagle of some kind was scared out of the tree I was riding past and flew parallel to me for about 5 seconds.

    Most importantly, after a 500km round trip mostly in the rain, I successfully returned home with a 1kg bag of heavily discounted coffee beans.

  • [OC] Scotty needs a haircut
  • Depends on the breed. Some breeds never stop growing fur (ha), others have short fur which molts with the seasons. Angora rabbits are too much knowledge the most in need of trimming. Rexes don't need any help. But my god do they need to learn how to use a vacuum cleaner.

  • Reddit seeks to launch IPO in March
  • And I'm sure inevitably, the site will become harder to run as more and more companies enter the shit list. Over time - features will be cut to save effort. List entry will be out sourced. The company itself, of course, will not see the irony. Finally - a new website emerges to track the enshittification of enshittification tracking websites. And the prophecy continues.

  • Chasing the *frag*on
  • Wow you have just unlocked a hidden memory for me. My dad had this game on his Mac G5, and I would play (vanilla) all the time. Back then I thought the internet was small, so when I saw someone online with the name "Will" and thought it was one of my friends from school.

    I wonder if there is anyone still playing.
