Just an Aussie tech guy - home automation, ESP gadgets, networking. Also love my camping and 4WDing.

Be a good motherfucker. Peace.

Forked, and mirrored to my Forgejo server. As someone else pointed out on a different community, this is a great example of the Barbra Streisand effect in action.

People like me, without Haier appliances, are now aware of this fuckwittery, and have actively taken steps to preserve the code, before it gets taken down.

Dickheads.

Settle down, mate. It was dark humour, and us Aussies used to be much better at dealing with it, rather than the ridiculous hyperbole we’ve seen from our pollies.

I don’t condone violence against others, but I can appreciate the dark humour in this situation, where a presidential candidate that has been endorsed by the NRA and refuses to entertain a conversation about gun control, was shot at.

That country is seriously fucked up and, frankly speaking, deserves to be laughed at by the rest of the world for the shitty place they’ve all put themselves in.

It should be climate action. Not saying it will be - just that it should be.

Critical thinking. Not enough people stop and think openly about a given problem, situation, or interaction. If everyone took just a moment or two to take into consideration someone else’s perspective, circumstances, or goals, the world would be a lot less divisive.

It’s a fucking travesty what’s happening to him. He shone a light on some pretty sordid shit, shit that was definitely in the public interest to be reported, and he’s been made into the villain.

Our government should be fucking ashamed of themselves.

Got my name tattooed on her lower back. This was after we’d separated, I’d moved out, and divorce proceedings had commenced.

She married husband #3 the next year.

This news just in: teenagers can be arseholes to each other.

Back in my day, it was over the brand of sneakers or jeans that you wore.

A spokesperson for the supermarket said they were disappointed to see “a small minority have tried to use the tool inappropriately and not for its intended purpose”

Oh fuck. Right. Off. Don’t blame someone for trivially showing up how fucking stupid your marketing team’s idea was, or how shitty your web team’s implementation of a sub-standard AI was. Take some goddam accountability for unleashing this piece of shit onto your customers like this.

Fucking idiots. Deserve to be mocked all over the socials.

I have my own domain that uses a specific 2-letter ccTLD - it’s a short domain variation of my surname (think “goo.gl” for Google). I’ve been using it for years, for my email.

Over those years, I have discovered an astonishing number of fuckheaded organisations whose systems insist I should have an email address with a “traditional” TLD at the end.

This is ridiculous. It is truly ridiculous. How can something that enables the user to efficiently control their AC cause “significant economic harm”???

We’re discussing this over in !homeassistant@lemmy.world. This absolutely has to be about them losing access to data they can sell to 3rd parties. The hOn ToS will no doubt have a clause that enables this.

It’s a dick move for sure.
