Just wanted to say these replies in my absence were appreciated, cheers.

Given the comment chain, I’m sure this isn’t a productive use of my time but just to be clear that is not at all what my comment implies. In Perth, where the article is based for example, there are homeless shelters. My point remains that most if not all of them have rules (hint: especially the ones with Saint in their name or vaguely religious sounding), that some are not able to comply with due to the issues they face. Nor do I think “the homeless do this In every city”, or all of them in any given city for that matter, hence my use of “subset”, “a good portion of” and other specifying terms.

but people like you with this viewpoint aren’t going to let them get the help they need.

Your misinterpretation of my comment aside I could probably wager I’ve spent more time with the homeless and around them than most. While they can always use more services and facilities, the group Im referring to (and that the article/OP references) the problem is largely one of rights i.e. involuntary psychiatric detention or outpatient rehab. The former doesn’t happen until they present an immediate threat to others or themselves and once they get released, they disappear and learn to avoid areas (e.g. shelters) where they’re likely to be sectioned by the police again. The belligerent/trouble making group Im referring to (and I’ll reiterate, used the term subset) have generally fallen through the cracks and have absconded from facilities. Or genuinely do not want to attend them due to not wanting “rules”, knowing they’ll be evicted or in the case of violence, knowing they’re no longer welcome there. A more complex approach is required beyond just “building shelters” as the comment I replied to stated.

Problem is people like OP is referring don’t stay at shelters long as they generally require you don’t drink/do drugs/keep your area clean. A good portion of the homeless population aren’t just “down on their luck” they’re long term homeless/unemployed due to undiagnosed mental illness and substance dependence. There’s also a subset of them who are frequently belligerent so you’d need staff able to work around people like this, pay them adequately for doing so and pay for security. It’s usually not that simple an issue to address as anyone who’s been around homeless areas can tell you.

Plus one automatically (assumes you agree with your own comment/content), zero if you remove your upvote, minus one if you downvote.

The sentiment in this thread and the votes on the OP are why this is happening I suspect. Windows knows their consumer sentiment is so low it’s below the dumps. Honestly Im here for it, it’s nowhere near enough but focusing on UX for fucking once is a step in the right direction. Whether they don’t full M$$ it and shit the bed, yet again, remains to be seen.

The third party tool activates Microsoft’s new start menu since they’re doing incremental rollouts.

Appreciate the link cheers!

Does he not still have a warrant out with ICC? Or does law and order only become a priority when it works for some?

You know what, I’m sold. If we can’t let them give themselves or other people traumatic brain injuries, then we should hand them back to corporate social media that has been shown to be damaging to them psychologically, packed with misinformation and controlled by billionaires. There is nothing outside for children to do if not travelling the speed of motor vehicles on sidewalks or weaving through traffic, after all. It’s a bold take and I’m here for it.

Yes but unassisted the mass is significantly reduced and an effort required to maintain speed. The main problem is the motobilke tier ones that dickheads, mainly kids, are using. Dyno units probably cost much less, especially long term, than healthcare cost associated with these things. Not just from them striking people but kids that lack the brainpower and experience to operate vehicles on the road, or in general.

What a bizarre headline to come out days after it’s revealed Meta has been snooping on supposedly encrypted chats.

Also temporarily unblocked because I came across this in modlogs after reporting spammers. Similar with a below poster you’re on here, all hours, spamming inflammatory political post. There’s enough posters who clearly don’t do much else with their time but use lemmy as a means to vent their frustration about their lives. Regardless of if I may appreciate why some protest Australia Day. Finding you then tagged a bunch of people who downvoted you to try and paint them as racist and shame them has all but confirmed this for me.

Edited: removed the redundant personal remarks, as even if stand by them, especially getting off social media, I think enough people are in here making that point. You can celebrate Aus day and not be racist. The binary view and political posting is why the downvote. Im not opposed to moving the day due to what it means to indigenous Australians. Most people celebrate it for having a day off work, to drink, and us becoming our own country/not being poms. Doubt you care given your replies in here but hope that clears it up for you.

How is this deceptive or harmful? From my understanding it’s stop people following others around and harassing them. Since muted people can follow you around and comment on your shit but now you can’t see them.

Why would you just not block them back so you’re essentially invisible to each other? Instead of getting mad you can’t engage some that specifically pressed the “don’t let this user engage with me” button.

Yeah, I thought some degree of English aptitude would be required for citizenship/visas. Though it does also state he wrote in correspondence so could be just an attempt to curry leniency.

I really should get matching coats for myself and my dog. And a dog.

Yes there is, he will likely face the Law Enforcement Conduct Commission, an independent body, and be investigated internally by NSW police. Fucking with evidence is also a big no no and cops have been charged for attempting to destroy body cam footage among other things before. If NSWPol refer him to DPP he is likely cooked.

Tbh kinda appreciate the response not being typical AI sycophant mode.

Doesn’t justify the racism that allowed it to proliferate nor cunts like Alan Jones but not bringing these up in any discussion around the riots is poor journalism.

Monash University’s report also found a rise in specific behaviours, including shoplifting (27 per cent), changing price tags on products (30 per cent), not scanning some items at self-checkout terminals (32 per cent), and scanning items as cheaper alternatives (36 per cent).

Overall how much of this is made viable by replacing workers with self checkouts machines?

Vincent Hurley, who specialises in the contemporary role of police and policing within criminological theories at Macquarie University, said when it comes to retail theft, soaring prices may be driving the trend. “There is inflation and stagnation of wages, especially for part-time workers. So even to survive, some would consider stealing to be a way to survive in this cost-of-living crisis,” he told SBS News.

The cost of everything has gone up. What do people expect to happen? People in poverty, or let’s be real these day, even people who aren’t; just wander off somewhere and quietly starve to death? Woolies and Cole’s have been raking in cash during this pricing crisis. Im fortunate now to have a decent job, that I was incredibly lucky to get. A couple years ago I was on Centrelink. It didn’t even cover rent for a shithole. IDGAF if people steal from large retail chains to survive in economic crisis that they profit off.
