This what we would call false advertising in my country.

You can’t write: “NO ADS!*”

“*actually, maybe some ads, as a treat”

That’s just completely negating the headline claim

This does seem rather practical as a catch-all term. LGBTQ+ is much too cumbersome

I’ve already heard a bunch of queer people around the internet use “queer”, so I guess it just needs more adoption

A great leap backwards :(

LGB is the most ridiculous thing I’ve seen.

I’m not THAT young (born in the 90s) and even I’ve never ever seen LGB as an initialism without the T.

ASOP fork, donation model (pay as you feel) pls.

Please voluntary redundancy google staff. Please

(Realistically I know this is a tall ask considering this is people’s livelihoods we’te talking about)

Sign me up babyyyyy

Why people prefer using some company’s chat service is beyond me. Email? Fantastic, I’ll come back to a response later. But these chats often require you don’t close the window, their notification sound won’t work, you’ll get dropped from opening another app for like 2 mins, and they take ages to respond in many cases.

Put me on hold any day, I can do whatever else I want in the meantime and then not have to wait while the agent types at a snails pace.

Has your company heard of pre-recorded audio?

Looks to me like the bigger reason she’s not the smartest isn’t because of spelling, which english is crap at, but that she doesn’t understand word order, which is much more concrete.

“White House War Room Correspondent” would make way more sense

I’m not really for beating people up in general, unless it’s necessary.

If possible, try and change their minds (it has been known to happen).

Violently resist their attempts at capturing any sort of influence though, which is the point the US is at it seems.

Nazi salute, straight to jail (which is what recently happened in a Victoria, Australia. A funny comparison to the US)

I could live with life of the author and spouse (not children), but only if they haven’t sold the rights.

If they’ve sold the rights, 15 years.

It 100% will cause your apple account to get banned.

There was a fraudulent charge on my card once to iTunes, so I got it reversed by the bank, because it was fraud.

This banned my account and I had to go to apple support when months later I discovered my account was banned. They give you one chance.

So yeah, you gotta ask them first if you don’t wanna get banned. But you should basically say, cancel my subscription, please and thank you, I’m not required to use your device to do so if you let me sign up without a device.

I suspect in multiple countries they would have to comply under consumer law, and I know for a fact they would be obligated to on Australia.

Hiring one extra person, for an agency that covers hundreds of millions of people? I’m gonna go out there and say yes, that is reasonable to expect. Sure, uptake is low now, but network effect is responsible for that, now when people are moving from Twitter is the exact time to encourage people to change to something better.

The European Commission has its head on straight, that they are being a first mover on Mastodon, because putting critical communication infrastructure in the hands of a private company is silly long term.

I’m not doubting your reasoning as to why this agency hasn’t bothered, but it’s not convincing that it’s reasonable.

Tony Abbott wouldn’t mind

I’d have no problem with them making Bluesky account, but why not both that and spinning up a Mastodon server?

It’s just short-sighted

This has happened dozens of times, each time it was an “error”. Press X to doubt.

The intro was awesome, probably the best of any start trek (other than when they changed it to an instrumental version that sounded awful)

The rest are a bit of yawn in comparison.
