2·1 day agoThe state. It’s literally how this works in other countries. (Victoria, Australia, anyway)
Wait, this ISN’T how it works where you live?
Where I live (in Victoria, Australia), the bond is held in trust by the residential tenancies bond authority. At the end of the lease the landlord can try make a claim, but you can take them to VCAT (a small claims tribunal) to argue against it, and until either all parties agree, or the court orders it, the bond doesn’t get paid out to anyone.
Our laws are far from good, and still favour owners too much, but damn. Just trusting them to pay you out of their own pocket?
4·1 day agoI’m gonna posit something even worse. It’s trained on conversations in a company Slack
Unfortunately I am primarily an android user, as I always have my phone with me.
I shall give it a go for desktop at some point though
Friendship ended with Firefox. Waterfox is my new best friend ❤️
This took me a second to process. Is filter coffee “coffee” in north America?
2·5 days agoLemmy is so blessed to have this certified top-tier content.
This is so beautiful.
Other than the fact Australia will adopt it and I’ll be left using nominal banana sizes based on the US banana.
1·6 days agoSure, but I’m still feeling like complaining that there isn’t a business that’s made affordable pay-to-search a thing. (That I know of)
I’m not taking back that $120 USD/year for search is way more than most people would be willing to pay
Though yeah, I suppose saying their business model isn’t working was hyperbolic, I must admit.
The business model just doesn’t make sense then (using search partners).
Because $60, let alone $120 US, a year is far more than most people would be willing to pay.
Dunno what to say, it’s just more than most people can justify paying for the service.
I’m gonna stick with DuckDuckGo and the newly free mullvad cached search
Old man yells at cloud these damn Americans using “ironic” when they mean “sarcastic”
I’d happily pay for search, but Kagi is way too expensive.
10 searches a day, for $5/month? (US)
Like, that is way too much.
I can receive thousands and send thousands of emails per day for that price. Is search really that much more expensive?
This is what I’m planning to do with some textbooks I want for my work.
$200-$300 and you want me to download an app that may or may not even work in 10 years?
Nah, I’m gonna future proof my access no remorse 🏴☠️
I will pay though, because it’s tax deductible, and also because it I ever get questioned on it (since I use them around coworkers and management), I’m golden.
I found this help article where they say “Although not all non-genuine supplies may cause quality issues”.
They said they recommend using theirs, but up until this they didn’t say you couldn’t.
Plus, it’s been universally understood that you have been able to use third-party cartridges. I really think if you’re persistent enough, you’d get a refund in Australia. Because else (in Victoria at least) you could take them to VCAT for like $70, which will cost them wayyy more in lawyer expenses than the price of a refund.
This is not legal advice, but I reckon a refund under Australian Consumer Law is extremely doable if they go down this path (for existing printers).
I’m curious how this will go down in Australia. Seems like a pretty solid slam dunk refund, oh the product doesn’t work as advertised anymore?
Cool, I’ve had this for 5 years and now I’d also like a full refund under Australian Consumer Law.
Motherfuckers.
(I don’t actually own a printer)
You are underestimating how many people will give up at the slightest inconvenience.
I can tell you, when vigorously enforced, you can get the vast majority of a population to play within your walled garden (China, as an example).
Sweden however, yeah, unless they wanna go full internet firewall, not sure exactly how they plan on enforcing this.
AI can’t imagine an image full glass of wine because there are barely any images of that in any dataset out there. AI can’t think, just massage it’s dataset into something vaguely plausible.
It’s almost like this not-for-profit, for-profit subsidiary thing is a cancer (or at least, my selection bias of late thinks so).
Can someone ELI5 why a foundation can’t develop these products directly, with a for-profit subsidiary? Is there something forbidden about rasing revenue for a not-for-profit via product sales? Would this even fix anything?
Despite the unhappy circumstances, it’s kinda nice Chinese and Americans interacting on social media.
The fact this isn’t typically possible because of bans in China is not so nice. Neither is the fact the US is going down the same road instead of proper privacy laws.
But still, kinda nice
Yaaaaaaaaas queeeeen
