…and that’s been the goal for a long time, in a lot of the western world. All privatization is against the common good of the people within any society.

We all know that scene in Robo Cop 2 is going to happen eventually.

He’s got syphilis he’s definitely not winning.

Antisemitism in common parlance means outwardly racist towards the Jewish ethnicity.

I think that’s why it’s in quotation marks… Because it wasn’t antisemitic.

Could have saved a lot of money had they just admitted it was a political firing, and simply rehired her, pro-palestine views and all.

Not at all, the ABC’s own article mentioned they were pressured by “Lobbyists” to fire her after she posted anti-israel content to her Twitter.

The author of the article works with the editor to determine the headline. It tells you what the article is generally about.

Hey at least he stuck around.

Most people do value these things, they just don’t have the political power to enact them.

The people who do have that level of power see it as a move that wouldn’t help them, and would hinder their political goals in other areas (they don’t have an infinite budget, and they have people to pay or whom they owe favours).

…and those who have this sort of money to burn, only got that money by being tight fisted and ruthless, so lost the mental agility and empathy to do this sort of thing.

But yes, the majority of poor, tired, politically disempowered people do support this sort of thing… Then a swath of them think “but I could never go to such a place, too many wheelchairs and gross children” and another group thinks “Don’t we have better things to spend money on,? Local parks, drunk driving issues, business relief”… So it becomes a question of a whole hierarchy of values.

Different values win under different political, cultural, and structural systems, with different inputs, and most of the time “supporting the values” doesn’t necessarily mean supporting the pragmatics - let alone adopting the role of someone actually driving and pushing every day to get this sort of project funded, supported, known about, popularised, paid for, and then built, run, and maintained.

So is that you? OR - do you - like most people - “value” these sorts of things on an esoteric, personal level… But you’re mired in other states of being still.

There’s meaning, then there’s meaningful. We all mean well, but few of us are capable of meaningful actions on this scale.

So the question either needs this sort of understanding automatically (so everyone knows the pragmatics), or to be turned on the person asking? Don’t you? Where’s your meaningful action?

It’s probably down here with the rest of us, which is what makes it uplifting when one person manages to have the skills and opportunities to put themselves in a position where they can step up, and they actually do something.

Secrets

Yeah, but the question was as to whether Gemini is listed as an app. The answer is no, Google have snuck it in whether you like it or not.

Yes, it’s on there. I have a phone, never downloaded or installed Gemini, but because it’s a motorola with a special extra button… I can push that button and up pops Gemini.

The only way I can stop it is by disabling the Google app, then the button becomes innert again (which is how I like it).

So yes, it’s embedded in the Google app. Disabling the Google app may aslo cause other issues (such as Google Home/Chromecast not working).
