Fuck them. Variety of thought is why I’m here. The tankies suck, but I think of them as a palate cleanser after the right wing crap in mainstream media.

You’re conflating “Lemmy” with the behavior of a single instance. This is actually the strength of a federated platform; don’t like how an instance or community is operating? start your own or move to one more to your way of thinking.

Cisco bought OpenDNS a few years ago,

I’ve had navidrome setup for a while, but could never find a really good client for my android phone… thanks for the Symfonium link, it looks great. Will definitely give it a go.

1000/50 is available on HFC. I know because I have it.

You’re conflating two distinct issues, that involve three separate groups: traditional media, social media, click farm thieves such as ladbible.

The Australian legislation relates to the first two and their commercial arrangements.

IP is typically leveraged, effectively multiplying returns.

Good. Fucking banks make enough off the Australian public. Their willful ignorance when people are taken for a ride isn’t acceptable.

Minor correction… The Voice doesn’t exist between the two houses of government. It will be an advisory body to parliament, thats it.

I don’t follow. I’m not saying its either/or, I’m saying the voice looks like it will achieve nothing if it has no powers or additional rights. If it has the same access to parliament as existing lobbying bodies, why is it needed?

I understand the need for reconciliation and to improve outcomes for indigenous people, I just don’t see how a body with no power can achieve it.

It seems like the yes camp are trying to have it both ways. To those leaning towards yes: “Yay its going to make a difference!” While at the same time those wary and leaning to no: “It won’t change anything or have any real power”. Which is it? I’m confused.

This is why I don’t see the point of the whole thing. If it gives no special powers/rights… whats the point? I’d rather see an official treaty than a powerless voice.
