I lived up the road from a feijoa orchard in Colevile in the 80s. We used to have fights with dropped/rotten ones then go jump in the river to wash off. Good times.

None of it should've been sold.

Turns out ethical wages and materials cost money. I agree that older tech being more ethical as whatever 'cost' is may have was paid by the first owner.

There's other phones with user replaceable batteries. I looked it up a month or so ago. They're not as ethical as fairphone, but still better than my drawer of working phones with dead batteries.

Personally I don't really care about these words getting used outside of hateful intent, except that their continued casual use leaves the door open for haters to use the words. I grew up with a bunch of aboriginals who used abbo, widely considered a slur in Australia. I don't use it anymore because it leaves the door open for haters to use the word. I will call some of my gay friends poof, another semi slur, but only in private. It's not about your intent when using the word, it's about the effect on society when the word gets used.

Stuff like the Willow or Wheel of Time tv series, I just can't get into them, they seem sooo dull that I pop off to sleep in under ten minutes.

In Australia, third party medical insurance is rolled in with the cost of vehicle registration and the money goes to the Transport Accident Commission to pay for accidents and what not. If the insurance was mandatory, it could be handled by the government to prevent market abuse.

It's not enshittification, but there's a bunch of crappy rss bots on lemmy reposting low quality content pulled from various feeds. I feel like they've been abandoned and left to run creating internet litter around this site. I've started blocking them because I'm not against bots as a concept, but poorly written or with bad sources they can get pretty tiring. One of the things I appreciate about diggs $5 account fee is that it'd hopefully limit the amount of trolls/spam on the site.

That sucks, he seems like a passionate MP from his YouTube channel.
