  • Makes more sense than the Imperial system

    Jump

  • Even more annoying, because there's a bunch of software with bad localisation where we sane DD/MM/YYYY and YYYY.MM.DD users are forced to see the abomination that is MM/DD/YYY and it leads to errors.

  • I know this is a joke, but could help myself: you can't always just cancel units like this.

    It's more like 0.007 m3(fuel burned) / 100,000 m(travelled)

    Can't really cancel those.

  • This is my biggest complaint about SI, kg being the base mass unit with a heckin' prefix.

    Bring back the grave 🥲

  • Moderators Across Social Media Struggle to Contain Celebrations of UnitedHealthcare CEO’s Assassination

    Jump

  • It's not even mob justice, it's vigilante justice. It just so happens in this case practically everyone is pretty happy about it having happened.

    The mob never called for this CEO's death, we're just not sad he was killed. Even if in general most of us wouldn't actively call for people to be killed.

    If it makes CEOs afraid, then fantastic, a nice happy side-bonus.

  • I feel like the engineers set π = 3 meme is from like 50 years ago where you couldn't just punch π into your calculator

  • Why lying with maths is so easy, the average person, even in developed countries is practically innumerate (massive hyperbole, but the fact lying with numbers is easy, still stands)

  • Fashion is cyclical

    Jump

  • When I say strong, I mean that a trend is it dominates and defines as decade. All those things you mentioned are trends that you associate with different times, but there are far fewer things you can dress up as and people will think: ohhhh are you "from the 2000s".

    They exist, just I'd argue it's not as strong as the 90s

  • Australia bans social media for under 16s

    Jump

  • People should lie about as much as possible to most companies they interact with online anyway (obviously don't lie to your bank, or doctor, or whatever). Do always, without fail, lie randomly about your age, gender, address (if it's not relevant) or anything else that's not actually needed to provide the service.

  • I'm only just now realising fads/trends seem to be way less strong these days.

    Like, there's a 00's vibe, sort of, 10's vibe??? Maybe?

    But nowhere near as strong as practically every decade before that.

    Perhaps it's just there's way more variety to bandwagon now that every niche is connected around the globe.

    My random thoughts for your reading.

  • Stereotyping

    Jump

  • It's because we don't have a style of music called "Jizz."

    Jump

  • Why does it feel like this comment section is assuming someones values based on their enjoyment of works of fiction haha

    I like both for different reasons. And I don't think that really says much about my values at all

    It's entertainment, people!

  • DOJ says Google must sell Chrome to crack open its search monopoly

    Jump

  • Unless you're at a company using Microsoft services, where you have no choice, other than chrome (at my company), which hot take, is worse than edge.

  • Ain't nobody got time for that crap!

  • This may be Australia specific, but do job postings not spell out what they want in other countries?

    Like, job postings in Australia (these days) are: this is the job, here are the key selection criteria, please provide us a resume and cover letter (or just a resume, or cover letter optional, etc). Even down to maximum number of pages sometimes.

    They just tell you, and part of the way they weed people out is if they fail to follow what's written (simple way to weed out anyone paying no attention).

    Do other countries just have to GUESS what the recruitment managers want at each company?

  • Some YouTube Premium subscribers complain of seeing ads

    Jump

  • "With YouTube Premium, enjoy ad-free access, downloads, and background play on YouTube and YouTube Music."

    In Australia, if they reneg on this headline promise, doesn't matter what's in the fine print, this would be refundable under Australian Consumer Law (not a lawyer).

    What bullshit, and how silly on their part, since it's just so much more convenient to block ads instead of paying

  • You are aware of first past the post right? That really needs to be the first thing on your agenda to get fixed. Until then, the USA will ALWAYS be a two-party system (with brief blips in change over).

  • And guess what, that works.

    At least I hope

  • I can't wait for the budget framework to come out, 1 because current lineup is expensive (well, more than I'd like to spend on a laptop. I'll run my shitty 2018 Microsoft Surface Pro 6 into the ground), but 2 because the product will be even more polished by that time.

    Can't wait to have a laptop and then just have it for like 10 years. Especially if it's Linux out of the box 👍👍
