It is weird that they dicked around for 4 years on this, though.

Still, vote blue, your vassals beg you (Australian here).

This isn’t click-bait. An unpaid internship IS unpaid work.

In Australia and a number of other countries they are ILLEGAL. (Other than when it forms a small part of a degree).

Unpaid internships are work, and it seems you agree. This CMO is literally saying people should be willing to work for free to get their foot in the door, a disgusting and illegal practice which only gives employers even more power.

You guys STILL accept signatures? Signature for payment on cards was phased out 10 years ago in Australia.

Remember in Australia, if you’re persistent enough, you could get this replaced under Australian Consumer Law, if something breaks in an unreasonable amount of time (outside of warranty, even). Considering fridges can easily last for 10 years, anything well within that should be fairly easy (but require many, many emails and threatening to taken them to your local small claims) to get replaced.

That is if you can do without a fridge in the meantime 😅

This is not legal advice.

I got this from a bank. A BANK. Not only was it limited to 12 characters. THEY ALSO LIMITED THE SPECIAL CHARACTER SET.

I complained and was told, oh that’s why we have the security number for (a unchanging six digit code), and I’m like, that’s basically 1 password with 18 character limit and 6 of the characters are definitely numbers.

Not only that, 2FA is not available for logon, it just says “to authenticate certain types of Internet and Mobile Banking transactions”.

I couldn’t believe it. Surprise, surprise, there are no minimum password security regulations in Australia…

Regulations are “unconstitutional”? Hmmmmmmm 🤔 Is SCOTUS bound by anything? Seems like they can rule however they like.

Thing is, you usually define all your variables. At least we do in engineering (of physical variety, rather than software).

Mostly because we can’t expect everyone reading the calculation to know, and that not everyone uses the same symbols.

Not explaining each variable is bad practice, other than for very simple things. (I do expect everyone and their dog reading a process eng calc to know PV=nRT, at a minimum).

Just like (in my opinion) not defining industry specific abbreviations is also bad practice.

Mathematicians don’t do this? Shame on them.

I take issue with sports being in headline news practically every day, or multiple days per week at least.

I have nothing against people enjoying sports, but it’s a hobby like any other, which I think is unreasonably thrust upon everyone else.

Where is the eSports news, or competitive dancing, woodworking news, or as I’m sure we can all agree on Lemmy, what about my old electronic gadget of the week news?

When I had The Guardian app, it was quite annoying that sports was lumped in with the push notifications for actual news.

I’m just saying sports news ought to be opt-in like any other hobby.

Hey American modern pick up truck heads. Notice how normal the bonnet is? Notice how you can SEE enough to not run people over? This is a true utility vehicle. Look how massive this bad boy is without being a death machine 👍

In other countries, not only would the voter suppression be illegal, but racial hate speech would also land this fucker in jail.
