Google search is still better than bing, somehow. Gmail is good for signing up to stuff I don’t want mailing my protonmail. Google maps is still genuinely useful. Youtube is, for now, still better than any alternative I know about. I don’t see what’s wrong with Pixel phones.

Don’t get me wrong, google is evil now and I don’t like it. But I don’t know any better alternatives for those things. Mm, except gmail, I could replace that I guess but it’s such a pain.

Whichever you prefer. There is no correct way.

Wait, does this mean “balatro” means something?

Edit: Google says it was ancient Roman for a professional jester or buffoon. Fitting name.

When they aren’t victimising each other, that is. Don’t forget, the “persecution” the pilgrims were fleeing was not being allowed to persecute each other as hard as they wanted to.

I hate this take. It doesn’t look stupid at all, it looks cool.

Do people in the US actually refrain from voting because their candidate is “boring”?

LCDs came in just in time for me to be attending LAN parties in uni. Got sick of lugging my CRT up the stairs once a week pretty quickly and was glad when I managed to get my hands on an LCD. I can’t even remember if I noticed the downgrade, I was so thrilled with the portability.

That last one sounds pretty good.

Ahhh, thank you.

Darn it, you’re right.

Income tax is such a bitch to deal with. I used to support the idea of replacing it with GST/VAT because then I’d not have to deal with it. But then someone pointed out that disproportionately benefits the rich (who mostly just hold wealth rather than spend it) and disadvantages the poor (who cannot avoid paying for things).

So fuck it. Make it all income tax and get rid of the others! :P

(In before this is also a bad idea somehow)

So I have never actually understood the name of this meme. Why “supply side”? What does that mean?

I program professionally in C# and I gotta say, it really isn’t for that. You can do services in it, but that’s as low level as I’d suggest. It’s definitely a high level language for rapid dev of web and desktop stuff.

This headline belongs on Not The Onion.

NGL I kinda want a Polestar.

I’m not super into cars, but it’s my understanding Holden was a local manufacturer that got bought out by GM? Or if not that, then they were making specifically Australian vehicles despite being part of GM, much like Ford Australia used to. Both ended up shutting down operations down here, so now we have nothing local.

What happens on the 9th of Nov?

If the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

That’s the only thing I can think to answer your question. There are some problems that are best solved with other tools, like text parsing for example you might want to call out to some code written in a functional language.

The ATO’s myTax system is pretty great, I hope with this you guys finally get something as nice.

Yeah
