I’m curious how this will go down in Australia. Seems like a pretty solid slam dunk refund, oh the product doesn’t work as advertised anymore?
Cool, I’ve had this for 5 years and now I’d also like a full refund under Australian Consumer Law.
Motherfuckers.

I wonder if they “Spanish” flu it all over again by claiming it started elsewhere.
You are underestimating how many people will give up at the slightest inconvenience.
I can tell you, when vigorously enforced, you can get the vast majority of a population to play within your walled garden (China, as an example).
Sweden however, yeah, unless they wanna go full internet firewall, not sure exactly how they plan on enforcing this.
There can be absolutely zero doubt that Trump is a Russian stooge
It’s almost like this not-for-profit, for-profit subsidiary thing is a cancer (or at least, my selection bias of late thinks so).
Can someone ELI5 why a foundation can’t develop these products directly, with a for-profit subsidiary? Is there something forbidden about rasing revenue for a not-for-profit via product sales? Would this even fix anything?
Thanks for sharing, this is batshit insane. When you’re political ideology starts to run against reality, it’s a sign to adapt your ideology, not enforce a new “reality”.
As a leftist, modern communists with a hard-on for the Soviet Union baffle me. My comrades, they weren’t liberating the masses of the fraud of religion, they were just creating their own…
It’s all fun* and games until there’s human to human transmission.

As someone who’s been to China a handful of times in recent years. No. None of the VPNs I’ve tried work any longer. Couldn’t tell you the technical reasons why, just that they just no longer work.
If the US decides to implement a great firewall, people who aren’t very software savvy are basically screwed.
Awwww yeaaah. Welcome friend, stay a while
This is fair, however, not ubiquitous and all their servers are expected to place nice with others.
Thank god email is federated, and not locked down to a particular company
It’s very common, but in Australia at least, not ubiquitous.
And obviously businesses mostly do not

I’m gonna be generous and assume the original commenter meant “Aboriginals on average have significantly worse outcomes compared to non-aboriginal Australians due to historical persecution”
This is why I’m glad we don’t directly elect our head of government in Australia.
People bitch “oh we’ve had 5 prime minister’s in 5 years!”. Better that than a president that can only be stopped by 2/3rds of the senate.
That and Australian cabinet members (who are the executives of the various departments), who can be removed by the prime minister, at least are somewhat covered by the fact the prime minister only has this power while a simple majority of the parliament allows it.
I’m not claiming we’ve got democracy figured out over here, and suffer from a lot of the same shit as the US because of capitalism and corruption.
But hell, US-style elected constitutional monarchy is wild.
And we’re still under an actual monarchy lol
ASOP fork, donation model (pay as you feel) pls.
Please voluntary redundancy google staff. Please

Sign me up babyyyyy
This is what small government is. I have no idea how people convince themselves that right-wing libertarianism isn’t an absolute joke of an ideology. It’s just replacing positions answerable to elected officials with unelected oligarchs.
Overtime is a type of penalty rate, these are the others:
There’s penalty to the employer for asking to work these times, in the form of more money. As it should be
The Swiss just can’t help themselves
Me too, the second one shows up, or PixelFed gets e2ee implemented, I would seriously start asking people to join.
Until then, what’s the point? (Unless you want to share publically)
I found this help article where they say “Although not all non-genuine supplies may cause quality issues”.
They said they recommend using theirs, but up until this they didn’t say you couldn’t.

Plus, it’s been universally understood that you have been able to use third-party cartridges. I really think if you’re persistent enough, you’d get a refund in Australia. Because else (in Victoria at least) you could take them to VCAT for like $70, which will cost them wayyy more in lawyer expenses than the price of a refund.
This is not legal advice, but I reckon a refund under Australian Consumer Law is extremely doable if they go down this path (for existing printers).
