I prefer promotion of humility and a lifestyle which puts the emphasis on values relationships, nature, personal time etc, for instance...

In August 2020 the Chinese
government launched "Operation empty plate", a campaign to
stop food and beverage waste and cultivate frugality.

However banning materialist fetishes will probably do more good than harm anyhow. Slippery slope though.

Sounds about Right.

Calling Murdoch "shadow director" is not "alarmist". The reasons for this description of him is based on alarming facts. What would you call him based on these facts?

The example I gave from Insiders is what is alarmist, using lies. As is the example of ABC pretending Albo hijacked the DV rally whereas the full video, which ABC deliberately cropped, shows the truth.

I don't recall such blatantly dishonest reporting from ABC before Murdoch infiltrated.

Is this China bullying in international waters or are they supporting North Korea against UN Security Council sanctions which Members unanimously voted for?

If NK is still shipping munitions to Russia then this could be China helping Russia while pretending it is about water territorial rights.

Member state.. authorized to:

Inspect North Korea cargo on land, air, and sea, if the state has reason to believe that it contains prohibited items and seize any prohibited materials or technologies

Your doubts are incorrect.

Asked about the incident at the daily Chinese foreign ministry press conference, spokesperson Lin Jian said: "What truly happened was, an Australian military aircraft deliberately flew within close range of China's airspace in a provocative move that endangered China's maritime and air security in the name of enforcing UN Security Council resolutions."

sqgl OP ,

Shanghai Daily columnist Andy Boreham pointed out... "the area they claim the incident happened is within China's EEZ... Innocent passage is allowed but military aircraft do NOT constitute 'innocent passage"

Kind of like the many Chinese military incursions in the airspace of the Taiwanese EEZ, eh Andy?

sqgl OP ,

Which UN Security Council Resolutions do you think he was referring to if not the NK sanctions?

sqgl OP ,

The "you came close to your airspace so we scare you away" response seems like regular old territorial bullying to me.

See my other comment about the EEZ.

sqgl OP ,

In my quote the claim was that Australia was there enforcing the UN resolution. That resolution was made a long time ago, well before China took sides in the Ukraine war. Too late to veto the resolution now.

PS Admittedly my quote is not from a credible source. I haven't time to test its veracity.

SOLVED: If I pay for Proton Unlimited, do I get unlimited aliases through SimpleLogin's API or only through Proton Pass

I'm gonna be paying for Proton Unlimited soon, which gives me unlimited email aliases through Proton Pass. Currently, however, I use Bitwarden and a SimpleLogin API key to generate aliases. Does paying for Proton give me unlimited aliases through SimpleLogin since SL is owned by Proton?...

sqgl ,

But you only get two IP addresses on each device, right?

"Split tunnelling" lets you use your regular ISP for some apps but Proton for others. So you can use different browsers to appear to be two different people on a single web site.

sqgl ,

Yes on Android I can do split tunnelling too as well as 4G. So a total of four IP's (not three).

It is annoyingly inconsistent that the Android app split tunnelling is done via an exclusion list but the laptop app does it via an inclusion list.

Should we allow job-sharing in parliament? ( www.theguardian.com )

These two potential candidates want to try become the first job-sharing parliamentarians. I can see the benefits of opening up possibilities for people with kids/dependents. I think a broader range of perspectives in parliament would be great. And these people would be there to do the job, rather than career politic-ing. The...

sqgl ,

They wouldn’t have two votes in parliament if they win a seat as you seem to have misunderstood. They said that whoever of the two was rostered that week would vote on a bill.

reddit.com/Australia is very hostile to the idea but I am partial to it, especially because it makes campaigning feasible when it otherwise might not be. Not just for candidates with kids but for anyone who is not time/money rich (which is most of us since time and money are usually mutually exclusive).

The main problem I see (which nobody has mentioned) is that politicians develop relationships with each other, even sometimes with opposition members. These relationships are important but the job-sharing thing weakens the chance of rapport.

sqgl ,

I’m biased towards paragraphs.

Otherwise, good point: understanding the other side is a good way to somehow being able to work together.

The shepherd drives the wolf from the sheep’s throat, for which the sheep thanks the shepherd as a liberator, while the wolf denounces him for the same act as the destroyer of liberty, especially as the sheep was a black one. Plainly the sheep and the wolf are not agreed upon a definition of the word liberty.

Quoted from Abraham Lincoln

sqgl ,

He probably was drawing the analogy with the landowners exploiting black people.

And black sheep are rejected by the flock apparently.

TBH I didn’t understand your soulism comment or how it is connected with your original comment.

I was really just supporting your original comment.

That Lincone guy who said it was a famous dude for being smart and shit. Could be hype eh?

So I looked it up…

Soulism is a school of anarchist thought which argues that reality, the laws of physics, and the limitations of our bodies are unjust heirarchies which must be abolished.

The line from the judge “Having escaped the lion’s den, Mr Lehrmann made the mistake of going back for his hat"

is not original but had many colorful turns of phrase which you can read here.

Anthony Albanese has praised a lone police officer who pursued a man on a stabbing spree through a shopping mall, saying ‘there is no doubt that she saved lives through her action’ ( www.theguardian.com )

The senior officer, Amy Scott, was conducting routine duties nearby when she was directed to head to Westfield shopping centre following reports a man was using a “massive” knife to stab shoppers....

sqgl ,

A pity she wasn’t carrying a taser. Why are guns standard issue but not tasers?

If the guy survived we might have discovered he has secretly killed others in the past.

We also might have discovered his motive but I dunno how useful that would be.

sqgl ,

He had a machete? I suppose that can be thrown so I accept your point if true.

How accurately does a taser need to be pointed? Can it be easily held in the officer’s weak hand while the gun is held in the dominant hand?

sqgl ,

Thanks for looking it up and summarising.

Not posted here when I checked before posting and I just checked again, searching for Apple then sorting by new.

Maybe the previous person removed the word Apple or it was a different publication which didn’t mention Apple in the headline?

They are lemmy.world but we are discussing this in lemmy.ml.

Here is my app (Boost) not finding those articles. It is only looking at lemmy.ml.

sqgl OP ,

I still don’t understand the whole federation thing. Does your app combine the “Privacy” group from lemmy.ml with that of lemmy.world and other lemmy instances?

sqgl OP ,

Wasn’t too rude. I still am not sure I understand federation between instances.

And I just realised now that my app has a proper crosspost option (which I should have used). Nobody picked me up on that.

sqgl OP ,

What happens if you do a search like I did in my screenshot?

sqgl OP ,

Including mine I presume. Not the beehaw one I “crossposted” from. I will post about it on the Boost group, thanks. The developer won’t like being outdone by Thunder.

While I also don’t like his schoolboy humour (being much older, and not his intended demographic) you are very wrong about him being low effort in his research. On the contrary, that is why him and his producer were physically attacked and not the “serious” journalists.

Content aside, his stand up skills are surprisingly good. Perfect timing and clever audience work.

FWIW The videos were edited, not pulled.

Shanks escaped contempt charges. Google settled because they didn’t want a precedent to be set regarding their liability.

During the course of the trial, several videos were uploaded referencing Barilaro’s legal counsel. [Judge] Rares stated that he was “shocked” by the videos, that suggested Barilaro’s lawyers may have submitted false statutory declarations. Rares stated that the videos appeared to be a “calculated” attempt at influencing Barilaro and his lawyers into withdrawing the case, and that he would give “serious consideration” towards referring the case to the Federal Court’s registrar for a contempt of court prosecution.

tricks to bypass soulseek "filtering/censorship"

I use soulseek (well nicotine+ for linux, but same network). For years know I have know that searching for certain terms will fail to give results because they are being filtered. For example “bryan” or “adams” returns no results for me. Although I can find these items in other ways- I’m curious if there have been any...

I couldn’t run an internet radio station without it and imagine there are many other similar stations.

In the old days labels used to secretly pay AM Radio stations to play their artists. The rort was called payola.

Admittedly that Sao Paulo coffee is expensive when factoring in ezchange rates.

But exchange rates do not explain the cheap Spanish coffee (which I presume is good quality).
