mobile data connection.
As opposed to wifi or the pigeons you linked.

Australian Politics@aussie.zone•Gun buyback deadline expires with most states still refusing to sign onEnglish
1·2 months agoI’ve already had to justify each purchase to the registrar individually, just like everyone else with guns in Australia.
Placing an arbitrary limit on the purchase of something you have to individually justify is silly.
Just like a golfer doesn’t use a wood when they’re on the green in golf, and “mum” doesn’t use a semi trailer to drop the kids to school; a hunter doesn’t use an air rifle to hunt foxes.
Or at least, I don’t.
If I wanted an air rifle capable of humanely dispatching a fox, I’d need to apply for a permit to acquire this snowflake 50cal single-shot-with-a-scuba-tank abomination.
And part of that is justifying why one of my existing firearms can’t do the job in question.
And even if that’s approved, I have to consider my storage obligations; because quantities and categories impact your storage requirements.
Which are subject to inspection, failure of which can cost your licence, forfeiture of your firearms and fines.The /average/ gun owner doesn’t have 6 now, it’s a pain in the ass.
And frankly, none of your business or concern.
Mmm, bait.

1·2 months agoI was indeed speaking in generalisations, we could split it even further into hundreds of little sub-groups.
Those who are anti hunting, but pro gun vs those that are pro hunting but anti gun for instance.The amount of people who are actively pro gun in any form is bigger than the group who are ACTIVELY anti gun.
And both of those together are outnumbered 20:1 by people who either don’t care at all or non active.this?
the fuck does 1 person need more than 6 guns for?
This is bait.

Technology@lemmy.world•Framework proved repairable laptops can work, but almost nobody is willing to buy oneEnglish
16·2 months agoI know a lawyer who just ordered one.
He’s got disposable income, he wants a decent windows based laptop for his work, he liked the repairability angle.
This isn’t for just tech enthusiasts.

3·2 months agoThe National Cabinet agreed in principle to the deal, but implementing it requires their individual states to buy in.
I’m surprised the federal government hasn’t completely abandoned this yet.
It’s simply not worth the political capital:
There’s a vocal minority desperate to take away other people’s guns for personal/idea logical reasons.
There’s a slightly larger, but still a minority, desperate to keep their guns (who personally have never done anything wrong).
And an uncaring majority who are being told they will have to pay for it with their taxes.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Always take credit for the good work that you doEnglish
5·4 months agoThis is pretty much what an American Staffordshire Terrier looks like, they are famous for that smile.
They are also famous for destroying things as puppies.
Mine tore apart the old couch we had on the back porch for him to sit on.
So we threw it away and sourced another free one from the side of the road.
Which he then tore to shreds.Incredible animals; love humans, hate other dogs, need training.

Australian Politics@aussie.zone•Australia Just Entrenched Lower Wages for Young WorkersEnglish
4·4 months agoThe number of 18 year olds that make it to 6 months in any given job is already low.
It’s about to become very close to zero.I’ve witnessed 3 people in this age bracket suddenly get zero shifts (or are only offered emergency shifts) over the last 3 years, over multiple jobs each.
JB HiFi, KFC and Ghanda are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

7·4 months agoI reckon it’s put on.
A deliberate one eye’d take, specifically in response to things like sky news.
It’s not about airing facts, but moving the Overton window.I feel the same way about Richard Stallman; he’s an impractical zealot.
But by taking his extreme positions, it’s provided room for others to achieve real good in open source.



I can confidently say that the Jellyfin team intend to raise the price 10x the previous price.
