is this employee in the room with us right now?
  • I separate work under capitalism from community directed, individually motivated, anarchially organised work. Hence the first edit.

    Learning is a requirement of productivity, productivity cannot exist without learning, therefore learning is productive.

    I don't think people have an issue with work, they have an issue with the current state.

  • ‘Julian Assange is free’: Wikileaks founder freed in deal with US
  • That’s what’s so concerning about the case. The USA tried to persecute an Australian citizen working out of the EU for publishing information.

    As he is not a US citizen he was not able to use the X amendment to free speech.

  • ‘Julian Assange is free’: Wikileaks founder freed in deal with US
  • He didn't leak, he published.

    That's what's so concerning about the case. The USA tried to persecute an Australian citizen working out of the EU for publishing information.

    If precedent was set they could kidnap anyone from sovereign countries based on US law

  • is this employee in the room with us right now?
  • You'd get bored and want to be productive.

    It's just hard to be motivated when burnt out by a company that hates it needs you and forces people to do work in a stupid way without autonomy and the goal of fucking their customers

    Edit: I'm referring to post-capitalism, not justifying corporate bullshit

    Edit: I have no idea what's going on. Clearly someone doing nothing would do things not to be bored.

  • Picasso artworks put in female toilet as part of art gallery response to court ruling
  • That would be good. Non binary was rare among the queer community when I was a teen. Already, friends have asked me to chat with their kids who are coming out. I don't have much to say, they're more onto it than I ever was. I was surprised by the number until you mentioned it's more common now

  • Government waters down vaping ban to win support of Greens
  • Yeah, that's why the Greens opposed prescription. They aren't as subject to the Murdoch media cycle so they're free to point out the issues with criminalisation from an evidence based practice perspective.

  • Government waters down vaping ban to win support of Greens
  • So they're looking to defund the vape industry. Likely to allow further changes in the future.

    Labor left the legislation open to charge individuals before the Greens pulled them up on it.

    At least the Greens prevented a black market from centralising to organised crime, but if they think this is going to stop an online-first generation from accessing vapes they're dreaming.

  • Chinese ships enter Japanese waters near Senkakus for two days in row
  • This comment seems contentious. Are the differences in opinion political? An ideological opposition?

    • Taiwan, officially the Republic of China (ROC)
    • China, the Peoples Republic of China (PRC)

    Thank you for your comment, it provided more context than the article

    This has been a journey and I've absorbed a lot. I'm going to go touch some grass and chat to someone about the weather. Goodbye Lemmy, I hope you sort this one out.

  • WW2 tanks built by tossing a few iron ingots into a cauldron
  • It does make me think about a US China war.

    It's reasonable to assume the US would be the aggressor (the ratio of countries invaded since WW2) and all their weapon components are refined and manufactured in or around China; rare earths, chips, etc.)

    They would have to win quickly and dominate completely: read brutally.

    So I'm ever optimistic there won't be a war.

    How are you watching the NHL this season?

    I am accessing the NHL tv streaming site geoblocked from a country who has limited interest in hockey (hence no fighting amongst SN, ESPN, etc.). However I have been finding free streaming to be as reliable and, sometimes, better quality.

    Trying to access all games has been a nightmare to do through official companies. How's your experience been?

    Building a hexadecimal wall clock to count down to the 2038 problem (y2k)

    Hi all, I'm reaching out to the community to help with the design of a hex clock.

    I'm honestly very lost on where to start. My current plan is to buy some gears and make a large monstrosity which is unlikely to fit on a wall. Does anyone have a more elegant suggestion?

    It's following the general design of a clock with two main differences:

    1. There are 256 seconds in the second hands rotation.
    2. There are 4 hands, the 4th of which measures ~136 years in a rotation.

    Additional warning to North Perthians

    There has been a shoot out between police and someone in Clarkson starting at 12 today (Wed 13 sept).

    Please post any information if you have it. My partner is in the area and unable to leave. Estimates are that this will continue and the roads may be blocked west of the freeway as you head home.

    Stay safe all and avoid the area.

    ALP conference | Too quiet on AUKUS?
    michaelwest.com.au The ayes have it - ALP conference flashpoints fizz out - Michael West

    The first day of ALP’s conference in Brisbane was a routine affair, with every motion expected to draw controversy passed without challenge.

    The ayes have it - ALP conference flashpoints fizz out - Michael West

    > The foreign policy and defence session and all attention is on whether AUKUS debates will be publicly aired or smoothed over in backrooms beforehand. > > Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and his allies are reportedly seeking to appease elements of the party hostile to the security pact. > > On Monday, partly leaders broadcast the idea of an AUKUS a ‘statement in detail’ on AUKUS, which would ensure the nuclear submarines promised under the deal would be constructed in Australia by a well-paid unionised workforce.

    Does Australia really have a choice?

    Since when did we stand up to the demands of the UK or the USA? Will we be seeing another Gough Whitlam, a Kevin Rudd - quickly moved as side at the first sign of descent - or the stock standard: a revolving door of Bob Hawk's and slimy, weak polli's?

    Data capitalism: How to take on the internet giants
    independentaustralia.net Data capitalism: How to take on the internet giants

    With billionaires capitalising on data ownership, it's important to find a way to curb the inequality in power while at the same time, avoiding colonisation of the internet.

    Data capitalism: How to take on the internet giants

    > Meta, Alphabet, and Amazon are some of the largest and most powerful firms in the global economy. Their size, value and the wealth of their founders raise serious concerns for distributive justice. To address these concerns, as well as the threats these firms pose to political liberties, perhaps we need to change how data is ‘owned’.
