He was 86. Of course there was an accession plan. It’s a country of 90 million people with a history of protests and revolutions. Do they think they were all just waiting to see if he lived forever?

Yes, Australia has a means tested aged pension too. This is seperate. It's relatively new, so those at retirement age haven't had it their whole life. However those approaching retirement soon will have had.

It's only recently risen. It started out with a lower percent contribution. The fact that it has risen in the last few years is seen as a contributing factor that wage growth is small. Businesses had to pay their workers an extra percentage at just the time inflation was biting and workers wanted wage increases.. businesses said they couldn't afford both but we're legally required to do the super guarantee increase.

When we were on holiday in Malaysia as kids, we ordered room service one evening. My brother was a picky eater so we asked for a plain cheese pizza, expecting like a margherita style.

Instead it was pizza base with just some sad grated cheese melted on top. Didn't taste great but just thinking about it makes me laugh. We waited about 40 minutes for that disappointment.

Large birds, so they could take us flying. It would solve transportation issues and by doing so, get rid of commutes, make housing more affordable due to ease of transport from more places and be so cool.

Check out pygmy hippos. They are about the size of a donkey.

Average superannuation balance in Australia, so defined contribution pension fund, is AU$170,000. All workers get 12% of their wages from their employer added to it by law. I think the hope is that eventually, there will be no aged pension and people will depend on their super rather than the government for retirement.

Defect implies help the enemy. They just claimed asylum for safety. I don't think the regime will be happy with them but it's not the same.

Too expensive at $60 a barrel. Worth it at $200.

Bubbles pop. Letting them grow more before they pop doesn't help.

Luckily all the citizenry is getting good value, with the increasing quality and availability of government services.

Or, if you’ve no strategic goals, you never really fail. It’s a matter of perpspective. And when friendly media take his word as does a cult following, that perspective will be magnified.

I agree, you’re looking at his actions similarly to me, but you’re trying to fit that into an assessment compared to peers or conventional thinking and/or planning. He doesn’t follow norms as he’s not normal.

Well, y that metric, it’s successful. He wanted to flex and bomb. He did. That was the goal. Mission accomplished.

People keep ascribing normal behaviours and motivations to Trump. He clearly doesn’t fit in that box due to mental health issues. He neither understands the purposes of his actions nor has the foresight to see their effect. It’s all reaction, but as long as the emperor continues to have clothes, it works, unfortunately. Those around him can manipulate him until he turns on them. It’s a constant shuffling of loyalties and policies for self benefit.

It’s assumed this was Israel’s doing. Not trumps. As are all his actions. Someone else is pulling his strings.

 

When I go to a post with video media, on iPad, there doesn't seem to be a way to exit. For images, they can be swiped away or touch outside to exit. For videos, ice tried different gestures and there is no back button or X.

I use Android daily, with a back swipe gesture, but there is no such gesture I'm aware of on iPad. Does anyone know how or should I submit a bug or feature request?

 

I’m trying to set containers for some websites on a shared windows terminal with multiple users under the same login. We use some cloud software and each user has their own log in. Manually opening websites in container manager allows this, but I’m struggling to do so for opening in container for the home page.

Each log in just launches in the default container (unassigned). I’ve tried using bookmark tree, which seems to support containers, but I can’t get it to work. Assigning a site to always open in a container doesn’t seem to work either as it’s the same site for multiple users (which seems to be the purpose of multi account container), so if it always opens in container A, person B still needs to manually open in their container.

 

I just recently got the 190 update pushed. It mentioned lots of fixes. One was image handling.

I have found that now exiting an image is a bit slow or glitchy. A single gesture to go back does not exit and instead it needs two. Tapping an image instead still closes it but there is a delay that wasnt there before.

I'm on a pixel 7pro with gesture navigation.

 

My phone coverage stopped for a period. I was using connect at the time and a comment failed. I initially thought it was a big but noted after restarting, it still was out. Then I checked with a test search to find it was all internet.

A few minutes later internet was back. Went back into Lemmy and refreshed. No data showing. I checked down-for-me for my instance and it was up. Refreshed again. No data.

Again restarted app and it was fine then. So, it seems he connection outage did not allow refresh after it came back, despite a restart during the outage.
