As I understand it, the issue is that it presents the two side by side without sufficient context, giving a misleading impression to visitors that English text is a direct translation of the Te Reo version when that isn't actually the case.

The English version was drafted first, translated into Te Reo with multiple changes to make it into something that Chiefs would sign.

It's been the done thing as long as protests have existed

It's not clear from the way the article quotes him exactly what he said should be "ripped out completely". You seem to be interpreting it as "all city roads should be ripped out completely".

I suspect he's saying we could rip out many city roads, completely turning them into green spaces and with forms of more active transport. I don't think this is saying remove all roads to the extent goods vehicles can't enter.

It effectively increased the cost of a working hour, without touching the value that work hour provided - artificially increasing wages without increasing the value that wage provided.

This is the exact myth we're told under neoliberalism that the comment you're replying to sets out - increases in productivity or value are already not leading to increased wages for workers. Working a little bit more/harder to generate more value doesn't reflect higher wages in this system.

Bitter, nasty, regressive. Not a single positive thing on that list unless you're a landlord, millionaire or a bigot.

This goverment will be a complete disaster for thousands upon thousands.

I've gotten back into HA recently and I'm running it in a docker container. It confuses the hell out of me, like how do you access the files that are in the docker container? I can't work out where they actually are on my system.

I think the main difference between docker and using home assistant OS is that some things, add ons in particular, aren't available in docker unless you install them manually.

Why are people leaping on this as ethnically motivated when the article says this:

Stuff understands the site was targeted because on Google it is listed as the Consulate of Israel, which it no longer is.

Still a net reduction though, a lot of those crops go to feed cows, pigs and chickens so if you remove that step and just eat the crops far fewer animals get killed

Oh that's an interesting read, I stand corrected.

That's the name that stuck in the late 90s/early 2000s when it became a thing in NZ. I think because at the time it was mostly made from psuedoephedrine (which the govt has since banned, our cold medicines are terrible as a result).

Nowadays you see it called meth a bit more but the nickname has stuck around
