I have not once heard of legislation here that genuinely violated people’s rights other than Victoria’s snap lockdown of a group of apartment buildings during COVID, which got the government into a class action lawsuit.

Saying you value free speech, then saying that people who can violate others rights should also have freedom of speech in that regard, seems like you don’t know anything about what free speech is all about.

In Australia, and likely in most other countries, rights come with responsibilities. Our freedom of political communication, as outlined in the Victorian Human Rights Charter, doesn’t allow us to infringe on others’ rights to feel safe. Public expressions of neonazism can intimidate and threaten community safety, which limits that freedom. Just as we can’t harass or incite violence, any form of expression that undermines others’ rights to safety is restricted.

I myself also believe freedoms shouldn’t be tarnished by outrageous legislation, but I don’t believe this is an example of that, as it protects other people’s rights more than the ones prosecuted.

Honestly I don’t get the hype about the US presidency, like sure, it was kinda shocking at first how Trump won, but after that I accepted it. I’d rather listen to other issues than the same thing over and over again.

I also find it wierd that many of the fellow Australians around me know more about American politics than Australian politics, likely just because our media covers it to no effing end, sure, do one news story, but not a fucken bajillion.

Shutdown aside, I find it funny how discord users start with genuine sad emojis, and then POW, eggplant emoji!

I agree with the premise of this statement, although this was about someone saying “religion of peace” to mock the Muslims who say it, I don’t believe that’s bigotry, it’s just irony. Also, who knows, maybe Catholics or some other religion commit more of these acts, but it’s difficult to know through the news alone, and religion of peace is already a Muslim stereotype, fully justified or not.

For the record though, I also follow your stance about not being nice to bigots, unjustified hate should only stay in the mind, but that possibly has the risk of radicalising someone further.

No more mister-nice-guy I see

Kinda wrong there pal, all fields are always hiring, its just that you don’t know if they’re actually hiring or just wanting a tax cut.

FTFY

Boof

I am pro skub, like, who wouldn’t? It’s really useful to have, why wouldn’t a sane person be pro skub?

:.|:;

I guess so, sounds good!

Good idea, although I don’t have my own house yet since I’m still a teen, and absolutely nobody would trust me to implement PiHole on our router lmao

At least 8 is better than 4

I retired my 4gb/120gb/celeron ThinkPad 11e today, since I’ve got a more powerful laptop lying around and I’ve used it for 8 years nonstop. It used to freeze up occasionally when there were more than 4 Firefox tabs open, and not to mention, my obsession with GNOME causing a shortage of system resources.

Man that ThinkPad felt like family, I’m gonna miss using it.

Hmm, works for me in Aus, maybe since the ISP bs doesn’t happen with TPG.

Probably still faster than my ThinkPad 11e at video streaming
