[Complaint about white supremacist imagery, includes photo]

Some prick has painted a white shithead tag on the river path, just by the boardwalk where Hillsborough Tce meets Cobham Drive. Any suggestions for how to creatively alter this, culture jam styles?

Some days I really feel like everything I do trying to make the world better is a waste of time. Like my efforts are not only ineffective, but actively counterproductive. Like the world would be a better place if I spent my days smoking ganja and stacking […]

@pine64 I subscribed to your #PineTalk podcast in AntennaPod, using the "Get the RSS feed" link on the podcast page;

AntennaPod was able to find the podcast and add it, but the RSS feed doesn't seem to tell it where to download […]

Thanks to the #noscript plugin I use in my browsers, I just noticed that scripts from at least 2 Goggle domains and at least 1 Cloudflare domain (see screenshots) are being served to people visiting the official enrol to vote website […]

Hey Team @gotosocial@gts.superseriousbusiness.org I notice that browsing to;

This is small […]

I'm on a very low income but occasionally I treat myself to boost morale. Paid $30 for a vegan breakfast. Felt profoundly ripped off.

I have no problem with being served supermarket food; bog standard baked beans on toast, with chopped button mushrooms […]

This reminds me of the campaigns to push the drinking age back to 20; knee-jerk, unprincipled, and contrary to the evidence for what is likely to achieve the desired outcome. Basically it's anti-youth populism, where genuinely concerned parents are driven […]

I've been subscribing and listening to podcasts using AntennaPod since I got my first Android-based device in 2019. It's gone from strength to […]

Much of the hilly pasture land in Aotearoa has gullies like this. They take up a very small proportion of the overall property, and create hazards for grazing animals.

Fencing them off and reforesting them would create both habitat for wildlife. Plus a […]

Does this guy really think shouting at people and calling them names is how you convince them to change their mind about political strategy? His rudeness is matched only by his total inability to defend his position with logic or evidence.

This is why the […]

Pharmaceutical companies are getting around the NZ law ban on direct-to-patient advertising of drugs by advertising conditions they want to sell drugs for. Clever. I'm guessing the linked website has info about drugs for treating shingles, that just happen […]

Now they're just taking the piss. You can make a disposable bag out of thicker plastic, and print "reusable bag" on it all you like, and but this is a disposable plastic bag.

Hopefully it's at least made of recycled plastic, but it's still not […]

This whining coward replied to a post I was mentioned, in with a cherry-picked statistic and a bunch of wild conspiracy theory, then blocked me in an attempt to to deny me a right of reply. That tells you everything you need to know about the intellectual […]

Just so you know, without widely used open standards that allow us to do decentralised identity efficienly, we get this;

"In 2009, Todd McKinnon and Frederic Kerrest co-founded Okta, and the Identity-as-a-Service (IDaaS) market was born. Since then, we’ve […]

Trees are epic. This tree got knocked over in a storm a few weeks ago. It's still green and thriving.

I'm no expert in European trees, anyone know what kind of tree this is? If it survives, and if it's a long-lived species, it's going to be really epic a century from now.
