  • Bunnings wins fight to use AI facial recognition tech to combat store crime, opening door for other retailers

  • I now just go to the specialist stores. Some times might be a bit more money, but often much better service.

    • Go to mitre 10 / dahlsens for generalist store (or if you're lucky you might have a small family business)
    • Total tools / Sydney tools for tools
    • Reece for plumbing goods
    • Local wood provider for wood.
    • Metal land for any metal needs etc.

    Sure, strictly speaking it's not as convenient.. but good service, good quality (variable) , not supporting a Monopoly.

  • Just effectively they have monopolised, have unfair trading practices with small businesses that supply goods, are increasingly changing product for their own brand which then means the "lowest price guaranteed" is pretty null and void because you can't buy their items anywhere else.

    Just noting, I watched this a long time ago, but it left a bad enough taste in my mouth to stop me from going there any more

  • That's an interesting take and one I categorically disagree with.. but heck share some more. Can you explain what exactly a police officer does to ensure there is not a power shift ? How do you think the proletariat class does not have awareness that they are a lowest class worker who is trading their time for profit? What does a police officer do day to day to impact this, seeing as your sentiment is police incidentally help sometimes from this I take you mean a majority of police work is for capitalism. I would have thought if there was such a strong focus on protecting capitalism, they would for example be strongly enforcing illegal tobacco, they are not. Most protests that I am aware of are generally around environment, human rights. I haven't seen a protest around proletariat low SES rights, why do you think that is? Keen for your thoughts

  • By saying ACAB people are stating that community police, highway patrol, detectives, cyber, specialist forces are all bastards. It's a ridiculous statement that doesn't help address anything. So you need to address specifics, gather themes and drive that agenda (e.g. police response in crowd control is excessive and should be condemned). ACAB is pointless and simply an attempt to evoke emotion.

    Sure, I agree peer accountability is also important. This comes down to education, training, and culture. But let's not all pretend that in our workplace we pull up everyone. Let's not also pretend that what my peer does is equal or representative to what I do

  • Feel free to discuss all the history you want, labelling every person is just pointless, because it's factually inaccurate.

  • I've never understood this sentiment, because obviously not all cops are bastards. It doesn't really help call out inappropriate behavior because as soon as you pull the ACAB it makes the discussion hollow

  • It doesn't, but the trauma they'll be exposed to will impact them eventually.

  • Holden defended his thought process in trusting the quiz and voting for Trump, explaining that his 17-hour workdays leave little time for political research.

    If he's working 17 hours a day 7 days a week, he's farming wrong.

  • Might be worth giving https://bentopdf.com/ a try. I've just started using it . Seems ok. You can spin up your own locally (I haven't done this yet) or I believe you can also edit PDFs locally in a browser.

  • Thanks for your reply, I definitely have to look up the best practices for git storage / branches etc as I have no idea. Pretty keen to distance myself from Microsoft where able.
