This is why self-regulation is a lie.

There needs to be standardised government testing, not industry-funded testing.

Same goes for Crash testing. You can guarantee that we wouldn’t allow ‘Murican trucks in the country if they were tested objectively.

And builders paying for their own Building Inspectors is a major conflict of interest.

Federally funding consumer testing of consumer goods and Local-Government funded inspection of construction should improve the quality of everything.

“Did you think we were going to pay $22billion in tax?”

“We paid $22billion to a lobbying firm who bribed the previous government MP with a pittance to pass legislation that is beneficial to us but detrimental to the Australian People and also the Environment.”

“Also, the lobbying firm is a subsidiary of ours so we can keep the money in the company”

Because it is also a fucking Trojan horse for The Media to further erode digital rights and harvest more personal data.

I as lucky enough to use Apollo. As soon as it stopped working, Reddit became useless to me.

(Or not useful enough to use their horrendous website, old.reddit website or official app)

This is ridiculous.

  • their algorithms are crap and keep ramming right-wing bullshit down my throat
  • they keep trying to get me to play YouTube games
  • they list YouTube Shorts multiple times in the Home Screen and most of the time it is just over-sexualised jailbait.
  • using anonymous Google to find a video on YouTube is more effective than using YouTube search

I am seriously thinking of getting an Apple Vision Pro just so I can use Juno and bypass all the bullshit.

Time I planned an exit strategy.

Considering that Ethnic Palestinians are the original Semites, and most of the Zionist are “repatriated” jewish people from all around the world, I find it ironic that they claim any sleight against them to be antisemitic.

I blame their mothers.

The movers were right that they should “slap whoever told” them “that BS”. They were giving them some great advice.

Years ago, after a family camping trip, we stopped at a café for Lunch on our way home. My father, my Brother and I all saw Sticky Date Pudding on the menu and decided to order it as desert.

It was the most amazing Sticky Date Pudding we had ever had, it was the right balance of moist and dry, the caramel sauce was just the right balance of sweet, salt and tart without being decadent and the date was just the right consistency, not rubbery but with just the right consistency.

We asked the waiter about it and they told the chef. The chef came out to give us the recipe and pulled out a Tinned Pudding. All he had done was cracked the tin, poured it out and put a scoop of vanilla gelato on the side.

Let us analyse it critically;

  • change of API policies resulted in death of third-party apps.
  • exodus of content creators due to inaccessibility of official Apps and user interfaces.
  • exodus of high-value users due to lack of high-value content.
  • exodus of medium-value users due to increase is low-value content and ads.
  • increase in toxic behaviour due to lack of moderation and encouragement of antisocial behaviour.
  • fediverse (and Reddit) attracting content creators and users with better (more insular) communities and content.
  • loss of brand equity with bizarre name change.

I’m honesty surprised that it only tanked by 56%.

Also, pay attention, u/spez!
