Oh no, I absolutely have ancestors in my past that have done horrendous things. And I’m Australian, so they were also British subjects ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

As for the executions, well I’d love to get my hands on Charles! #NotMyKing

Ireland is absolutely part of the British Isles, just not part of Great Britain. I would say that it’s generally only considered correct to call someone from Great Britain British, rather than the Isles as a whole though. However, in common parlance I would say that people from Scotland and Wales use Scottish and Welsh more than British, with people from England using English and British interchangeably, and people from Northern Ireland (that are unionist anyway) using the term British over Irish. That’s all to say, you’d probably get a smack upside the head for calling someone Irish British, and rightfully so.

Uhm akshually don’t you know that it was a subset of British society and not Britain as a whole. Jeeze, way to not be historically accurate.

While that’s a reasonable take, I think you could selectively render domains in non-latin scripts while blacklisting those greek/cyrillic letters that match latin ones, falling back to the “燋.com” formatting. Though I guess that would be a lot harder.

The global smartphone screen protectors market size was estimated at $49.73 billion in 2022and the global protective cover market was anticipated to reach $21.89 billion in that same year.

That’s insane, are screen protectors really twice the market size of phone cases??

This is how it’s supposed to look, wish Lemmy/Voyager did a better job here:

Sure, but the above is from a gnu humour post that’s over 30 years old: https://www.gnu.org/fun/jokes/ed-msg.html

OBDII exists and is reasonably open.

Meanwhile in Australia…

Did you ever stop to wonder why most people say that?

What do you mean? That selling porn online isn’t sex work?

I totally get not wanting to watch them, but how can you be against the idea of creators having their name attached to something??

Your monitor always needs to be plugged into the graphics card. If you plug it in via the motherboard, then your GPU is doing nothing, as it can’t backfeed to that motherboard connector. CPUs often have their own graphics built-in, and that’s what yours would have been using instead.

anon’s gf is into girls and wants to see her gf all pretty. she has a fetish for seeing her loved one be happy.

Bipolar isn’t a personality disorder, it’s a mood disorder. Otherwise, obviously I can’t convince you of my sincerity, but I am genuinely terrified of ever wanting to go off my medications. Thankfully it hasn’t crossed my mind seriously once in ~8 years.

You’re right, I misspoke with the term anonymous, it’s actually pseudononymous the same as Lemmy or Reddit are. It’s not like there is a published index of names to wallet addresses.

That’s the point I was making. In Australia, wire transfers through your bank are free, attached to a phone number or email address (rather than account numbers), almost always instantaneous and 24/7.

Not really. Zelle seems to just be US banks implementing the payment and bank-to-bank transfer systems that other countries already have. Except, at least for Australia with our ‘Osko’ system it has the involvement of our Reserve Bank and is mandated to be supported universally, whereas Zelle is completely private. The traditional lack of that bank-to-bank transfer ability is why apps like Venmo and Cash App have been popular in the US, which I think explains why Zelle has had an app until last month, as consumers expect that, even though it’s owned by the major US banks.

Taler on the other hand seems to be “What if crypto but with fiat currency and also the recipients aren’t anonymous”.

See this is absolutely the key point here I think. Because here in Australia where it’s similarly rare, the only time I generally see people reverse in, is when there is a walkway of some sort to reverse up too, not another car.
