  1. Trying to find out if a product from #DickSmith is suitable.

    Used to be able to go into their stores. All stores are closed, online only.

    So, how do I contact #DickSmith ?

    No phone number.

    No email address.

    The only actual way to contact #DickSmith is to fill out the contact form on their website. But first, hand over your email address, and create an account!

    I remember when retail actually worked.

  6. Newspaper advertisement warning to all Australians, that the #USA has a Law of #UniversalJurisdiction and that the scapegoat #journalist being blamed for the decline of the US, #JulianAssange is its target now, but "it can happen to anyone".

    This is from #DickSmith's website (Jan 2022). Distractions might be tempting but #Australia need to start getting off their backsides on this.

  7. Our namesake, #DickSmith has rallied heavily against #aggregatorSites for #travel, like #Trivago, #TripAdvisor and #AirBnB.

    Now imagine ENTIRE INTERNET AGGREGATION!

    Someone ought contact Dick and tell him about #CloudFlare, #Amazon and #Akamai.

    Forget buying a little ad in a corner of a #newspaper. He might need to buy the entire newspaper for a week to cover this.

    We doubt even he has the funds to do this.

  8. It has come to my attention that, in some cases, Australians were forced to use a computer named “The Dick Smith Wizzard.” I did not misspell the last word.

    I think the entire computer industry owes you an apology.

    My thoughts are with you.

    Questions:

    - Who is Dick Smith?
    - Was he only stopped when he was executed by an elite paramilitary team?

  10. The #AncientGreeks worked out how to compel their equivalent of today's #billionaires to pay their fair share in #tax.

    When they don't, we all suffer.

    Its reportedly called #antidosis (in english, #exchange) and it involves the #billionaireClass competing to pay the most tax they can, lest an #organicSwap/ exchange may occur.

    In the spirit of #DickSmith's #FairGo read about how it works here:

    We love reading stuff like this.

  11. CW: Australian election (preferences)

    The policies of the #SustainableAustraliaParty really do speak to the tenants of #DickSmith's FairGo. They're not only holistically environmentalist, but seek to end how #immigration has been abused by corporations. They also identify problems in the media landscape that require attention, and much more.

    Its a shame they are using #NationBuilder/CloudFlare.

    However, we do find ourselves wanting a focus on…1/3

  12. If we get enough interest we'll provide a rundown on why a party may be Dangerous, Irksome, Pass or Brilliant, based on where they stand on #environment, #housing, #foreignPolicy, #health, #privacy, and #DickSmith's a #FairGo initiatives.

    Do please boost if you're outside Australia, but wish to help.

    We'll determine whether enough Australian's care about these areas.

    Cheers

  13. Recently #StanGrant kicked an #Australian-#Russian out of the studio for speeching #truth about #Ukraine on ABC's flagship question-and-answer program, #QAndA.

    QAndA is a live, but mostly planned.

    We realised years ago, when Stan Grant lampooned #DickSmith for his #environmentalActivism, that Stan was a hack, a shill, a #mouthpiece of the #corporateState.

    (IRONY: Stan's #BLM monologue appeared on #RT, an outlet now #banned)

  14. LEGACY MEDIA ADVERT by our #DickSmith attempting to wake people up who read #MurdochRags (owned by USA):

    > "The US can have you charged and deported to the USA for breaking (their) law. (…) Its happening to scapegoat JulianAssange and it can happen to you."

    Thanks, Dick.

    Do those readers have the US #newspaper rolled so far up their own butt that they can't process these words, and protest?

    Quoted due to (likely unnoticed) restricted scope of previous.

    > BTW, that #Ozemite used to be a #DickSmith product back in the day. You can't get it in #supermarkets anymore so we order boxes from the manufacturer these days.

    Yes it was really sad the day we noticed he really ended #DickSmithFoods.

    We were always supporting it.

  16. Our namesake, #DickSmith, setup a national #prize. If someone under 30 in #Australia could put the #population problem in the national spotlight he would reward them with $1MILLION.

    There was no way to apply. If Dick saw a youthful person bringing the #overpopulation issue to the fore he'd give them the prize.

    To our knowledge noone ever won.

    We are seriously considering a similar prize – the #CloudflareAwarePrize.

    N E 1 4 some #bitcoin?

  17. We never condone violence, here. Yes, the limits are being imposed by govt.

    When #DickSmith started this very #FairGo movement in August 2017, he launched it saying that there will be #pitchforks and clashes on the streets.

    If our page is still up on #Fakebook you'll see the cover image in 2017 that we posted.

    DICK SMITH CHOSE that violent artist depiction as a prediction and a warning.

    The media ridiculed him summarily. He was correct, they being corrupted are wrong.

  18. @info_activism
    If a #billionaire doesn't pay at least 50% in tax, but #laundersIdentity through #philanthropy, they should go into a database. At random one (or 2%) of these #billionaires will have to pay 70% of their yearly #revenue in that country in tax or be #brokenUtp.

    Our namesake, #DickSmith, as part of his #FairGo movement wanted the #extremelyWealthy to pay they way.

    He called for more #transparency on tax returns – to shame those #greedy, wealthy few.

    Another very interesting tidbit.

    After we publish the (#)FediverseIcon and (#)FediFlyer on (#)Wikimedia Commons/(#)Wikipedia they, continually blocked us and kept shifting the goalposts until they had deleted our content completely from the site.

    Funny how #Google and other corporateGiants can show their works on Wikimedia but not a "#DickSmith #FairGo Supporters" page.

    Thankfully at least one good soul, who we haven't forgotten about, is hosting the flyer.

  20. @yaaps @vidak
    Don't blame the messenger, ie. Malthus. Blame the selfServing #politicians and their #corporateDonors for lionising #growth and #GDP above #KPIs that would've been sane.

    Our #DickSmith has been talking about this for over ten years now and has been vilified and lampooned by #corporateMedia and the realEstate and #construction lobby for it.

  21. We are a #grassroots, supporters group for #DickSmith's #FairGo, who believe we can get a FairGo when #corporations end #environmental and worker abuses.

    We have reason to believe #WikimediaCommons is an arm of the #militaryIndustrialComplex, laundering #militarism and #colonialViolence abroad. They offer some photos and media as #freeLicense while shmoozing with the locals and gathering #intelligence.

    We realise that that is a big statement, but we now believe it to be true.

    YOU RANG!

    Oh here we were thinking you were summoning [3] #DickSmith's #FairGo Supporters [DSFGS]

    Hahahaha (embarrassed)
