Why does Elon have Zuko’s scar?

So is saying “Ukrainian should beat the Russian army” “removable”, then?

Speaking of Russian propaganda, is saying “Russian soldiers invading Ukraine should be killed” also bannable?

anyone should be killing anyone else

Or, apparently, causing property damage 🤦‍♂️

But we’re not talking about killing people. We’re talking about killing an organisation. If someone had said “death to Apple”, that is not the same as “death to Tim Cook and all his employees”.

Wait, you can’t even say a group should be eliminated? Not even people, but a group‽

Is “defund the police” also a bannable offence now?

So I take it then, that any comment even vaguely in support of Israel will be removed as against the TOS? Because surely advocating in favour of genocide, even indirectly, is far worse than criticising the organisation actually committing that genocide?

Don’t get paid for donating in Aus.

Not to mention the 3500 Valian years (i.e. 35,000 normal years) that passed after the creation of Arda but before the years of the trees.

Yeah I’ve never seen it myself. I’m not sure how widely it’s been rolled out yet.

Where does it get Dracula was 412 from? The book never gives a specific age. If we go by Vlad III, 412 years from his birth would place the book in 1843. The book is actually most likely set in 1893 (based on how dates line up), and definitely in the 1890s.

Running shirts tend to be made of nylon or polyester. Unfortunately I tend to hang on to my clothes a very long time so all the tags are worn away and I can’t check, but I’m pretty sure all my running shirts are one of those.

Cotton is particularly bad because it chafes and it hangs on to sweat rather than wicking it away.

Of natural fibres, you probably want wool. I’ve particularly heard good things about merino wool. But avoid cotton for running.

The blood is the life

Fair point, actually. Not sure whether a screen reader would read the image description or Community first on the Lemmy homepage.

Interesting. Thanks for the tip.

They’ve done an awful job of marketing it.

I think discovery is a pretty big inherent problem with the system. Unless you already know about it, to discover it requires that you use the app, and spot the “scan & go” option on the very busy home page

Compare that with handheld scanners that were becoming popular in the Netherlands 5 years ago, which create a visible wall you walk past every time you enter the store. Discovery is obviously much better in that method.

Which I think is why they’re switching to these tablets in trolleys. People are going to trolleys anyway. I think it’s a shame they’re going with big cumbersome tablets rather than a simple handheld scanner that could be used with a basket or when just holding a few items, but oh well.

But you’re completely right that they did a fucking terrible job marketing it. There were signs up all through the store, but if I didn’t already know what it was I doubt I’d pay them any attention. A TV advertising campaign focused on “the shop of the future” it some such tagline could have gone a long way.

Oh that’s a shame. Where was this, and when did they stop?

I quite like the idea of that option. Phone would be best, but I think the poor uptake scan & go had was probably because of the discovery problem. Most people don’t use the Woolies app, and those who do use it probably don’t notice the little “scan & go” option. But a wall of scanners right at the entrance is harder to miss. I’d have thought it should have much bigger uptake.

I think you may have misunderstood what Ilandar was saying, but I’m not exactly sure how, because I don’t know which type of scan & go you’re talking about.

Part of this stems from the fact that there are two types of scan & go. The older, superior (IMO, and theirs) option of scanning with your phone, tapping a few buttons to pay on your phone, and walk out. Then there’s what they’re replacing that with, which is dedicated tablets that sit in the trolley.

Ilandar was talking about how, if you’re using a trolley anyway, there’s basically no difference (except that, going forward, you’ll have to pay at the gate, not on your phone—this is true even where Scan&Go mobile is sticking around). But if you’re only grabbing a couple of items, you now have to get a big cumbersome trolley anyway, or choose to go the old-school method of self checkout.

I probably do a majority of my shops either by hand or with a basket. 1–15 items or so, depending on their size. But by hand or a basket can’t do scan & go, anymore.

Oh goodie. On top of two years ago where they stopped letting you use 10% on an online delivery or direct to boot order. I was pissed at that, because they announced that change like a month after I had just renewed my Woolies Mobile annual subscription, a decision I made in part because of that precise perk.
