I’m thinking of keeping timer next to me for all the time I waste literally waiting for Windows 11 to load the bloody right click menu (and other things) at work.

My 5D chess move would be:

• Go: ok bet, you wanna shut it down? Your stores are now in immediate administration under some eminent domain law
• In order to mitigate political backlash, make it known that they’re able to sell their business to someone else, or the city, provided that the subsequent owner is bound to either run it, or sell it to the city

Watch them get mad because you haven’t technically seized it, they can still sell the business (maintaining the sacrosanct rights to private property capitalists love so much), you’ve just prevented them from closing it down, and everyone gets to keep their jobs :)

Should be at least streamed to a server not controlled by the police, including things like charge levels so they can’t claim “oh whoops, it ran out of charge!”. A specific organisation within the judiciary, perhaps?

This way they’re gonna need to get far more creative in concealing video.

And if you’re found to do something that is concealing evidence, well that’s a crime by itself

Surely Trump could have ignored them, as an official act of course.

I’d suspect it’s a water safety thing, not wanting to drink stagnant water right next to their “kill”. The cats I’ve had have always preferred drinking running water in the bath

This is but a hypothesis, though

Not sure if you have seen this person religiously commenting better quality versions of comics and pictures on other people’s posts, this is extremely high praise!

You’ve gained a medal from a Lemmy staple

The percentages of respondents in surveys on infidelity answering “not a moral issue” from France are a bit of a cultural difference (from Australian perspective, anyway)

🇦🇺 heh, amateurs… But seriously this is ridiculous, and straight up anti-democtatic. Single member first past the post is the worst voting system out there.

Inb4 they make mulit-member electorates winner-take-all (all seats to the party who got the plurality of votes).

This is THE fight USA. In my opinion, your ridiculous voting systems is probably why it’s so easy to suppress you.

Despite what @gofsckyourself@lemmy.world may say. They are a treasure to our little corner of the internet

:(

Australians: Finally, we’re not on the deadly map!

If this is true, I envy you for being shielded from the abomination of a measurement system USC is 🥲

People in Australia still use feet and inches for height even though they use it practically no where else, and I’m guessing most people could not use it reliably in any other context.

“That guy is 6 feet tall”

Australians: “Oh, okay”

“That’s 50 feet away”

Australians: “What”

Drives me nuts. I will be that annoying person who prompts people to say it in metres or cm. “I’m 180” (said as “one-eighty”) is just as fast, and in a system we actually understand.

Ugh.

How are you so good at this? A Lemmy treasure for sure

6 toes on the back paw. Including the “thumb” that’s underneath, that’s 7.

I’m pressing X to doubt on this one

If they keep not complying, which is my understanding of what apple has been doing, they should absolutely be bankrupted. Or something drastic.

A warning, which will make other companies self-Police, bringing down the cost of enforcement.

Countries are so permissive of corporate bad behaviour it’s not even funny.

This is exactly what I expected in the second panel haha

Maximum password lengths at anything below 64 characters grinds my gears.

Signed up for a bank account once that limited you to 12 characters. 12. And you could only chose from like 4 special characters.

No 2FA. No no. But the customer service agent pointed out they require you to also use a 6 digit second password!

That’s a 18 digit password where 6 of them must be numbers.

Absolute travesty.

It’s a bit weird the artist drew an “elementary” school girl in their underwear though.

Missed opportunity to call it “AkkuBattery” for all the dual language pun enjoyers out there 🎩

This went way over my head and I was thinking: the writer’s taken their mask off as a racist??

Didn’t make the colour connection
