Government services are necessary services offered to citizens. They shouldn't have to be profitable to survive. (Can be applied to multiple organisations)

walking out/booing netanyahu is great and all, but have we tried arresting him for war crimes?

I do be like this. From: @MichaelaKHulse https://mastodon.nz/@MichaelaKHulse/115261897021699282

Why is it standard practise to list petrol prices by the cent, with .9 of a cent on the end? You can’t even spend .9 of a cent.

"Some factual information for you. Have you any idea how much damage that bulldozer would suffer if I just let it roll straight over you?" "How much?" said Arthur. "None at all," said Mr. Prosser. #hitchhikersguide #douglasadams #quotes #quote #bot

#nzpol This government seems one of the most stupid and inept outfits Aotearoa NZ has had since Muldoon. Cancelling ferries by text, costing $500M....and here we go again....

Was gifted "go ogling" as an autocorrect of "googling" and henceforth that shall be its name.

the terms and condtiions have been altered pray we do not alter it any further

There's a standout article in #thepress by Charlie Mitchell detailing how in the 1960s Christchurch city, NZ, came within a whisker of having a major motorway built through the middle of Hagley Park. That's the big park in the core of the city. The majority of local politicians were all for the […]

I don’t think trucks should be allowed to overtake at all, let alone like this. They’re supposed to stick to a 90kmh limit, so any overtake unless the other driver is going absurdly slow is breaking the law anyway […]

Maybe think twice if you have Wyze Cams and pay for their cloud subscription. If you have a supported camera, maybe consider the Thingino firmware. #privacy #wyze #wyzecam

Universal Basic Income would improve mental health, reduce homelessness, reduce crime, and reduce drug and alcohol abuse. I'm not saying it would 100% fix all of these, but that it would significantly help with all of them as just one policy. UBI and universal healthcare are musts for our wellbeing.

Any New Zealanders know how you receive money on Wise (Transferwise)? I tried to connect a bank account but they only support US, UK and Canada. Pretty limiting if you ask me.

Periodic reminder to anyone who builds applications: People's names and email addresses can change over time. And not just women's last names. Build a fucking workflow that won't break everything when they do change names.

@Techaltar while I agree with you on the “8x optical-quality zoom” stuff in Apple’s ads being garbage like you say in your latest video, they have been saying that simply cropping the video is not *entirely* what they are doing. They have said in interviews (with Tom’s Guide and Techradar) that […]

This might lose me some followers, but as a Christian, I really cannot conscience a lot of stuff I’m seeing on Mastodon today. Just because I don’t agree with the man who was shot, doesn’t make it okay to mock his death and make fun of his supporters. I hold the belief that all humans are made […]
