Agreed, but I also have work to do. On my personal PC at home I use librewolf, as for most casual browsing its fine.
But the question was why do people use brave over Firefox and my answer simply is cos it doesn’t have the functionality i need. I dunno about your boss but if I say to mine “I didn’t do my job cos my browser of choice doesn’t work” I don’t reckon I’ll stay employed for long.
Several sites/web apps I use for work. And my bank is another one that immediately comes to mind.
Also simply compatibility, some sites just don’t work (or dont work well) on Firefox or librewolf, thats one key reason I go back to brave for a lot of things.
Try and continue without a Microsoft account when installing windows 11
How can we be sure this is genuine? I can see there is an opt out option. Thats very unMicrosoft like
😭
Agreed, Windows 10 pushed me to dabble in Linux, Windows 11 pushed me to update my home server, lappys and gaming desktop all to Linux.
I also drink XXXX as my daily, and love a XXXX bitter if I can get it. I really consider myself very flexible and will drink pretty much anything, from lagers, to black beer, to wheat beer.
I however cannot do Carlton, that shit literally makes me wanna puke. No idea why as I’ll drink pretty much everything. It’s actually really frustrating cos Carlton is buying every bar up near where I am and often it’s hard to find any alternative.
We circulate the ‘slow down and give cyclists space’, and ‘cyclists belong on the road’ on every second bus and billboard. Everyone knows it they just don’t do it.
I think defensive driving courses are a good idea for all drivers however they still won’t stop this. The issue is complacancy and as you said, culture. Getting people to slow down on a quiet corner on a quiet road is near impossible in todays environment. To be clear they should do it, I just know they won’t.
Driver education doesn’t work, cos it’s a cultural issue, youre right on the habits being passed from parent to child including the “just overtake this cyclist now” habits. This culture will be passed down irrespective of who does the driver training. And I’d also like to say on a sidenote, some consistency in driver training across states would be friggin amazing.
As a motocyclist (youre braver than i, for me driver behaviour will keep me off all motorbikes not on a farm) you would have experienced first hand bad driver behaviours even though motorbike messaging and education has been around for yonks.
That’s why we need to take more proactive measures now like the escort cars (wilst maintaining the exisiting messaging), until that cultural shift occurs, which unfortunately in this country could be decades.
So what practical measures do you suggest to stop this from happening again?
People aren’t reading Lemmy as they are driving from Armidale to heed your warning. What I was doing was suggesting some practical steps to protect cyclists. So that if perhaps someone was thinking of doing an event like this they wouldn’t be relying on motorists ‘just slowing down’ cos it’s not gonna happen. And will likely result in another tragic accident.
I’m not excusing the behaviour as you claim, I’m saying we need to do more to protect cyclists, cos motorists won’t ‘just slow down’ (even moreso on country roads such as this)
Not a carsupremacist fuckwad, however I think we should be using this as a lesson to prevent reoccurrence, clearly this is a narrow road, and narrow country roads are usually 100km/h zones, you can come around a corner and have no idea, theres a car, let alone a gaggle of bikes there (not to mention the riders that sometimes ride 3 abreast). Its a setup for disaster.
Whoever was organising the race should’ve organised an escort car to advise cyclists are ahead (I find this personally super helpful), else arranged a road closure. Changing every speed zone in this country to 50km/h will not stop this from occuring, and it is impractical to boot. Should the driver have slowed down of course, will the majority of drivers who have been driving through the country for the last hour and a half, on a relatively barron country road slow down? of course not.
Remeber our pollies are to busy focusing on re-election, so they’ll do nothing to help us, so we’ve gotta do the steps ourselves.
The enshitification of Firefox continues 😢
You’re completely right on Australia being extremely racist when it wants to be. However the yes vote is a bad example. It was a bad proposal, of major changes, and segregated society further.
It was however a perfect example of Canberra dictating to indigenous people how Canberra will help them without guidance or support from indigenous communities, or addressing the real issues, such as closing the gap.
A church from 1845(ish),
Apparently there was one building from the 1830s but it was knocked down for a hospital, which ironically was also knocked down.
You could just ask them to put through all 3 as separate transactions. Then stiff HF the card surcharges
