“politics”
Next in line are still elderly but they’ve been spending their whole life building up to this so they aren’t going to put some young whippersnapper in charge and undo the years of bribery, corruption and arse-kissing that got them to where they are
As someone who works, flatpak’s solve a bunch of problems, freeing me up to continue working.
Security issues are just a class of issue; no more or less important than other issues
The first thing I noticed. I was confused, thinking maybe they had an old XP machine lying around to plug in after the main one failed, but then I read further and it was just a stunt
It feels like 2009 was only 4 years ago
I refuse to acknowledge this as antique
Hybrids: the worst of both worlds.
If you want to keep relying on gasoline then just buy an ICE car
Is the joke that the main river in Paris is so polluted that swimmers would need to wear protection?
Never mind that the swimming events would be held in a pool instead
“Fuck off Jesus” memes (or equivalent) are the best
Is this a typo? I’m sure lemmy.nz has been around longer than yesterday
Thanks Dave, you’re doing an awesome job.
I feel like a traitor as a kiwi that joined lemmy.world instead of lemmy.nz (I was part of one of the early Reddit exodus’s and didn’t know any better) but thanks to federation I don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything

Which group is right? Currently it’s impossible to tell, because they’ve interpreted parts of the treaty in different ways. And there is some precedent in case law thanks to Waitangi tribunal rulings.
Clarifying the principles removes the ambiguity and makes it clear for everyone.
I understand the opposition though, Maori stand to lose a bunch of Maori-specific things they fought long and hard for if it’s decided that actually all citizens of New Zealand have the same rights and duties under NZ law
My house was built in the 1960’s, to New Zealand standards.
We build houses for the climate we wish we had, not the climate we actually have. All the wall cavities are empty, especially the external walls
Some things, like honorifics, dont translate well to English.
For example, the -chan, -sama, -kun etc suffixes are super annoying when the English voice actors try to use them.
They’re fine in the English subtitles against the Japanese audio though
Still kind of relevant today; benevolent big corporate appreciating the work of its faithful office slaves
/s just in case
Yeah I figured that was the case.
It’s an interesting thing about federation between platforms - everything gets federated, even the platform-specific stuff that may be irrelevant elsewhere
Reluctant upvote because it’s New Zealand but my dude/dudette, what’s with all the hashtags?
I’m assuming a federated post from Mastodon
It’s not just you, I guarantee your cat doesn’t give a damn about anyone
