Dear interwebs,
Is there any reason I should avoid Vivaldi browser?
Kagi searches aren't bringing much up. Wondering if it's my google-fu being weak.
Looking for things like Brave's issues (founders are shitlords, antitrans, and alt-right). Or their claims about privacy being demonstrably incorrect.
Everything I'm finding reads like an advertorial, or could potentially just be old.

Today’s trip through south-east South Australia was so bloody beautiful. I absolutely fell in love with this area.
Tomorrow’s trip has been described to me as “the most boring roads in Australia”, but I’m stupidly eager to see the scenery change & where. #SheepieRoadTrip

Phrasing matters. ESPECIALLY in journalism.
I'm listening to the ABC News Daily podcast, it's on Trump's view on abortion. They keep using the term "pro life" despite anti-abortion campaigners making it clear time and time again that they don't care less about the life of the mother or child (won't support pre/post-natal care, don't care if the abortion leads to BOTH mother & child dying), they just don't want abortion. Full stop. Calling them "pro life" is very showing.

@npub1xr8…3q0g I mean when you’re OK with an entire sport that in itself is pure animal abuse, there’s probably a whole bunch of other stuff you just DGAF about too. Child welfare etc.

I discovered @npub10jk…dpae's #TechWontSaveUs podcast when they were doing a special on Musk last October. And this episode on enshittification is one of the best ones since.
I highly recommend giving it a listen, and adding the podcast to your regular weekly feeds.

Do these proposals include dog whistling to racists and nazi's?
But seriously, surely this is all already covered by existing laws and is nothing more than grandstanding and headline grabbing but the potato? #AusPol

Dear people whinging about pie day and American-only date formats, the ISO standard is 2024-03-14. Your DD/MM/YYYY isn't the standard either.
Embrace ISO8601. Set all your computers and devices that support it to using it.

Chiro's are quacks. They're not back doctors nor back specialists. And they're ESPECIALLY not anything-else doctors.
They've gotten in to the public psyche as back doctors, but what they do isn't supported by scientific evidence.

@npub1xr8…3q0g @npub1fuh…3kut @npub19g8…he8h One month ago Sky News Aust was outraged, outraged I tell you because the membership of a WhatsApp group that lobbied to have an ABC journalist fired was leaked / doxxed. Doxxing was terrible etc. So many innocent people.
Now they’re out there doxxing Palestinians for escaping genocide and ending up in Australia because all Palestinians are terrorists or something.
The. Fucking. Hypocrisy.

If you go to a bar, look around you and see nothing but Nazi’s, you’re at a Nazi Bar.
I’ve long said CPAC was an extremist gathering and no right person should be proud to show their face there. They’re no longer hoping nobody notices the Nazi’s and kicking out the most blatant ones. They’re now openly welcoming and mingling with Nazi’s.

This. https://aus.social/@drmaddkap@meow.social/111958800765737876
When you "round up your total and donate to charity", the company is using your money to give themselves a tax break, rather than putting their own money to charity for their tax break.
You get all of the cost, they get all of the benefit.
Never do those. Save the money and make your own charity donations at a later time. Get your own tax break from it.

This is one thing I still don't understand about every company jumping in on AI.
Until it can be confirmed the AI is giving ACCURATE information, it's quite simply not fit for purpose.
Sure play with it now, but don't put it live until it's confirmed accurate. Air Canada was ABSOLUTELY responsible for this. That they fought it to the point it went to court is absolutely ridiculous and shows them to be utter shitcunts.
