That doesn’t disagree with what I said, though?

If it wasn’t for Cyclone Alfred, I reckon my prediction of 12 April (given WA went crazy good for Labor) would’ve been correct.
- Comment on IT'S ON: Albanese to call May 3 federal election tomorrow morning 6 days ago:
The Greens range from centre-left to genuine communists. There aren’t many of the latter, but it’s more than you’ll find in Labor. And even Labor’s centrism is closer to communism than the LNP’s far right.
- Comment on 🤔 Does my Lemmy instance support video streaming? 1 week ago:
which can break progressive video streaming and even basic image loading in strange ways
Is this what’s caused the problem we sometimes have with image loading?

FFS why did we introduce the over-18 category a decade ago if they’re still gonna pull this shit?
- Comment on Climate activists to plead not guilty en masse under NSW’s controversial anti-protest laws 2 weeks ago:
the charges have been inconsistent, randomly changed and clearly politically motivated
What’s your legal representation like? Is there any chance of an appeal on these grounds? (I know that in the general sense, penalties that are out of proportion with the norms can be grounds for appeal. But I don’t know enough about it to know whether that would apply for you.)
- Comment on Women earn 78 cents for every $1 men paid on average. 3 weeks ago:
Ah sorry, you’ve misunderstood me. When I said its “value to society”, I meant the value that society places on it, not the value that it provides to society.
- Comment on Is there an Australian equivalent for boycotting american products ? 3 weeks ago:
The probably meant to say “happened”. A few weeks ago it leaked that Apple in the UK had been pressured to provide a backdoor to allow authorities to access users who had set their iCloud data to be “ADP”—which basically makes all your iCloud data & backups fully encrypted so not even Apple can access it.
But worse: the UK authorities asked Apple to ensure that the backdoor would let them get into all users’ data. Worldwide. It’s suspected other companies also received this request, and that only Apple leaked to the public.
Apple refused to do this, and instead disabled ADP in the UK. Which means that for UK users it’s much like Apple actually did cave and put in the backdoor…only it’s less like a backdoor and more like they took away the walls of the entire building. But at least it means users elsewhere in the world are safe, for now.

- Comment on Women earn 78 cents for every $1 men paid on average. 3 weeks ago:
So, my question “why” was rhetorical. The point is that fundamentally, the money an industry gets represents its value to society, and society clearly does not value the sort of work that is associated with women as much as it does “men’s work”.
- Comment on Electric vehicles: The key to a sustainable future or a failed promise? 4 weeks ago:
Neither. They deliver on the promise of being better than ICE vehicles and reasonably convenient, but the “key to a sustainable future” is a reduction in car dependence and a move away from motornormativity. A move back to strong local communities, to walkable cities with infrastructure that makes people of all ages and genders feel safe cycling around town, and of convenient, easy-to-use public transportation.
- Comment on Women earn 78 cents for every $1 men paid on average. 4 weeks ago:
Not “now”, and not a lie. This is what it has always been about.
- Comment on Women earn 78 cents for every $1 men paid on average. 4 weeks ago:
It’s about working out what cultural forces are causing women to work less and helping to equalise those. It’s also about how jobs traditionally seen as female-dominated being paid less than male-dominated work. You say
less women choosing to work in various higher paid
I say
Why is the extremely important work of early childcare and teaching not valued as highly as banking or mine working?
- Comment on Download a Lemmy conversation as a PDF? 4 weeks ago:
Any web page can be printed. Any print can be sent to a PDF generator. It might not look super pretty, but it’ll get the job done. I recommend making sure you’re on light mode before you print though, because dark mode has grey text instead of black.

- Comment on What position would Lady Macbeth play in netball, asks new musical 4 weeks ago:
My favourite experience was with the 1990 movie Men of Respect, which did MacBeth as a mob movie. I came across it while just channel surfing (remember that‽) and realising that it was an adaptation of MacBeth because the Lady MacBeth standin was cleaning pots and unable to get them clean was a really fun moment.

- Comment on New community request - Amber Electric Users 4 weeks ago:
Wouldn’t it be more useful to have a community about “Australian energy” or something similar? Anything about Amber could go there, but so could AGL, Origin, etc. Questions about comparing them could sit alongside discussions of a specific one.
- Comment on ‘The world’s changed – Australia needs to keep up’: Foxtel’s Patrick Delany rails against broadcasting law 4 weeks ago:
The article does a good job of highlighting what a terrible job the Albanese Government has done in dealing with gambling advertising.
I also find myself surprised to not disagree that strongly with Delany about anti-siphoning laws. I expected he’d be against them entirely. Instead, he just suggests that they could be available exclusively through streaming services, so long as they’re still free. Personally I do still disagree with this because even free, they’d probably require an account and collect your data, and because of the need for a reliable internet connection.
Still, it’s not so bad. If they were mandated to do it without creating an account, I’d probably support it.

RTI, not FOI. But one could certainly try. Given it’s allegedly security though, I wouldn’t like your chances of success. There seems to be a pretty strong reluctance to turn over documents when a security threat is alleged.

- Comment on How to run a Chrome sandbox in Docker on a Synology? 1 month ago:
Honestly I can’t even figure out how to get that alpine-chrome image to work. I edited my Dockerfile to say
FROM zenika/alpine-chrome:with-nodeinstead of
FROM node:22I tried changing
USER nodetoUSER chrome. I removed all the apt-get dependencies that were needed to get Puppeteer working in Docker on my PC in the first instance, and added–chown=chrometo myCOPY package.jsonline, all as described in the with-puppeteer example. I also added theENVlines from that. (I also tried various combinations of some of the aforementioned changes but not others.) Now I get an error with thenpm installstep.Error message

Which I just now (after posting) noticed was already mentioned in a different comment. Sorry!
I’m guessing the user who made that other comment is on lemmy.world? I can’t see any comment other than yours, and LW has known issues with federation (issues that would be fixed if the instance weren’t 5 version behind…) that mean I probably won’t be able to see it for about 2 days right now. So thanks!
I haven’t looked into the suggestion in great detail yet, but I will say I’m already running as a non-root user (
USER nodeis a line in my Dockerfile). I’m not sure what a seccomp profile is, but in case it wasn’t clear from the original post, I just want to emphasise that the current configuration works in Docker on my Windows PC. It’s only on the Synology NAS that it fails. - Comment on Left Apple Maps this week for Magic Earth 1 month ago:
something called “static camera”
What they mean by that (whether it’s accurate or not is another question) is a speed camera or a red light camera that’s located in a fixed spot, as opposed to a mobile speed camera that might be pointed out the back of a police van, or handheld by a cop standing on the side of the road.

- Comment on The fundamental problem with housing in Australia 1 month ago:
Not quite. Our housing policy is based around returning value to investors. That leads to cruel outcomes, and these are considered acceptable for the sake of investor profit. But it’s not the terminal goal.
