Good luck, hopefully you’ll get through unscathed.

Nice, thanks for the heads up!

Edit: got it on the TV with 3 kids watching!

Seems like they needed this judgement, as there was an injunction, but now they can proceed: https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/political/528604/high-court-judgment-clears-path-for-greens-to-waka-jump-darleen-tana-expert

I can easily search up people talking about both the Windows and MacOS system wide spell checks. While for Linux you just find people talking about how dumb it is everything uses different implementations: https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxquestions/comments/hu4ktg/does_systemwide_autocorrect_and_typo_flagging/

As for NZ English words, it would mostly be words that have come from the Māori language including place names and people’s names.

In theory having multi-language spell check would solve most of the issues, but I’ve never seen Māori as a supported language on Linux.

For some examples of words, there are place names like Taranaki, Te Anau, Te Awamutu. People’s names like Hone Harawera or Apirana Ngata. And common words and phrases that have made it into English like Kia ora (mostly used in English as a greeting) and Aotearoa (a name for New Zealand). There will also be company and product names as well.

I can’t believe it but there is a wikipedia page for it! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/None_Pizza_with_Left_Beef

Haha me too!

If you follow the source trail it lists Cloudscene as the source, who seem to be some marketplace for buying and selling cloud services. I highly suspect it’s a count of the data centers they have listed by their sellers, which would bias the US and explain why there are so few for China.

If you follow the trail you get Cloudscene as a source: https://cloudscene.com/region/datacenters-in-north-america

They seem to be some cloud services marketplaces, where they link up buyers and sellers. I suspect it only lists the data centers that they have listed that are included in the graphic. That would make a lot of sense, since Chinese data centers used to service people in China are unlikely to be listed, which is why it says in all of China there are only 300 data centers.

Sometimes I barely chuckle at the funniest things. And then other times I can’t stop laughing over the dumbest shit. Like this 🤣

Haha I get that I can’t really expect better than “English”, or maybe “US English” and “UK English”, but having a system wide dictionary I can add words to by right clicking and choosing “add to dictionary” would be nice.

As I understand it, each program keeps their own.

Linux in general has good language support.

I’ve yet to find a distro with NZ English 😆. I’d love to just start a new dictionary and add words to it for all the spell checks, but I’ve never worked out how to do this. I’m not sure there’s even system level spell check.

Well it seems the judge thinks the Greens were entitled to do what they did and did things by the book.

What happened with the timeframe the Greens gave for using the Waka jumping law? I seem to have missed what happened (presumably they haven’t used it, but did they decide not to? Or has this court case paused things?)

Wow, that thing looks amazing!

That’s really cool they let you do that. Hopefully you’re feeling less stressed, and not sitting at home worrying about all the work that’s piling up.

Tools exist that can do it, but there’s always a pinned post at the top of c/nz if anyone wants to post something or read something.

The problem with using a bot is that people with bots disabled won’t see it! I also just don’t really like the idea, it seems so impersonal. Perhaps a good compromise is setting up the posts in advance with a post scheduling tool, so it’s not a bot but my account still posting them.

I’m not up with the play but I’m on the opposite side of the world to Vancouver and I distinctly remember it being used as an example of where house prices are utterly insane. It’s basically the poster child of the housing market being fucked.

I don’t even have gigabit and if I try to download a game from Steam, it seems to eventually catch up to the disk and has to pause while the data is being written to disk. This is to an SSD.

If I was the only person in the house I wouldn’t pay for gigabit, I’d just go for a couple hundred and that would be heaps. 100 would likely be plenty for most people too. But if you do a lot of downloading I probably wouldn’t want less than that if I had the choice.

You should make comments to the server about how the owner must not pay their staff enough if they need tips (bonus points if the server is also the owner). Could make comments about how companies are trying to turn Australia into the US because the companies must hate Australia. Lots of opportunity to make them feel bad for asking instead of you feeling bad for saying no.

Especially if it’s not even table service!

A while back I remember a trend starting of having EFTPOS terminals ask for tips. It was kind of stated it was to try to capitalise on tourists, but the trend seems to have died.

I haven’t seen any in a while.

For a while we had many hospitality places with POS units that would ask for tips. The trend seems to have died off so hopefully that shows customers won’t accept it.

Also pretty sure no one here is pushing for tipping, OP even said they were against it in the body of the post. Just that Lemmy users don’t get to decide much 😆
