I’m not at all versed in the legalese, perhaps I’m using the wrong term (IP). We are in agreement that they can’t do anything about your site having their prices listed.
What they probably can do something about is you taking that data from their API or website without authorisation. If it isn’t called Intellectual Property, then let’s call it “Woolies doesn’t like that” law.
But, that’s exactly what they’ve got. Presentation of prices. If you take it from their presentation, I can see their issue. If you send people into stores to gather those facts for yourself, they don’t have a legal leg to stand on.
What I don’t really understand is why they take issue in the first place. You’re effectively advertising for them on your site.
That’s interesting, is their issue that you scraped their data? If so, then fair enough - that’s technically their intellectual property.
If you have people going into stores and getting the prices, I don’t believe they’d have a legal leg to stand on.
Surely opinions on this are going to vary wildly? Lemmy is full of people installing graphene and de-googling, while I’m happy with stock Android on Pixels with a custom launcher. Samsung, Sony and Asus all have serious devotees as well.
There’s also different responses depending on what you want in a phone. Some people want smaller than 6", others must have a 3.5mm jack. Some want SD storage. The camera is vital for me, but most of my colleagues don’t really care about the camera.
How would you sift through all that for a “best” one size fits all phone?
I think this is the wrong place if you care about points. You can easily get thousands of points on the other site reposting something popular from January’s front page.
Here, we can get over 300 comments on a post with fewer than 20 points.
I’m inclined to believe her. She’s already gone to the media, and taking photos of plates. She’s hardly going to do all that in one of the most camera-covered parts of the city, and open complaints with Main Roads / Equal Opportunity commission if she weren’t legit.
The article would hit exactly as hard if it were at some less popular rank with no/minimal CCTV covering it. She wouldn’t pick the airport if she was planning on exaggerating her position for clout.
33km on the bike as a commute is amazing! I only travel 12km and that is 25 minutes each-way.
Having the energy and commitment to ride 33km at the end of a long work day is very impressive. That has to be over an hour each way.
Happy birthday, guys!
I know I don’t comment a lot, but I do read most of this community as time permits.
Compared to the circles she moves in, yeah she’s middle class. When you hobnob with the richest people on earth and you’re only personally worth a couple-hundred million dollars, I can see how you’d think of yourself as middle class.
I also think of myself as middle class. Just not quite as middle class as she is. 😁
Perspective is funny, huh?
Of course you will. You are looking at two items, both costing the same price ($x/kg). One is in fantastic condition and one looks less-than-fantastic.
It’s just human nature that you’ll take the pristine product. Why on earth would you pay the same amount for an inferior product?
A lot of this is on us (the consumers). If they put produce on the shelves that isn’t perfect, we don’t buy it. So, it gets wasted. Either
We can’t entirely blame the supermarkets for this, though they absolutely deserve some of the blame. Having the ability to buy an apple with a bruise on it for a fraction of the price of the perfect apple is both good for the environment and a way to help address the rising cost of living.
Not sure they’d go for it, as they care more about the loss of the sale of that perfect apple than they do about the food waste.
I’m the son of one of them. Mum came over to Brisbane in the 60s. She married an Aussie bloke and lived on the West Island the rest of her days.
People will just go back to what they did before negative gearing: Make businesses and move their properties into that. “Oh, your business made a loss paying more interest than it brought in as rent, I guess you can write that off as a loss and not pay tax on your income”.
The result is the same, but it’s more work for the ATO.
My old boss still had his holiday home under the business, because it’s how he did it before Negative Gearing was a thing.
I don’t even know what his issue with this picture is. As a blunder years photo, it’s not that bad. 18-year-old me would have even envied that coat.
I demand they keep it up. So there.
I don’t pay any attention to this stuff at all. I should probably feel guilty about that, but I honestly just sort of trust the super-engaged to keep the government of the day to account.
Thanks for this thread, I wouldn’t have even known about the budget and the main points of what is in it without it.
If it was that big a deal for you, why would you use a phone OS by that same company?
SMS is hot garbage:
But sure. It works for anyone on any phone.
The neat thing about Android is that you have the choice to do that. None of us understand why you want to use sms over rcs, but we love that you can.
Maybe fare compensation is where you get your public transport fares covered by your employer if you have to go into the office?
Is it worse than actual smoking, though?
