Can't quite remember. I seem to recall WFH becoming important, and not being able to travel interstate or overseas easily. Also house prices dipped for a bit until the govt over corrected with a shower of money.

What was it that caused all that again?

That period during 2020 was the first time in ages I'd felt positive about the economy. Due to the immigration tap being turned off demand in my industry increased and pay and conditions got better.

After Labor decided to open the immigration flood gates, the shoe is obviously on the other foot again as far as employer vs employee relationships go. Pay has flat lined and conditions like WFH are getting wound back. Thank you Labor for living up to your liberal lite™ tag.

Is safe work Australia asleep at the wheel on air quality standards? Or are they gimped by our fossil fuel sponsored politicians I wonder.

Maybe an attempt to push more people to their app? Then they can harvest more user data which investors value.

Yup, have some relatives who live in the outer burbs of Perth and they get worse speeds on turdbulls fibre to the node mess than they did on ADSL . They are considering 5g and musk net at present. Thanks Malcolm!

Meanwhile I'm pretty happy with gigabit fibre to the home for $100 a month. The low upload speed of 50MB/s still has me scratching my head.

Maybe we need a car that is low and wedge shaped, like something from battlebots. When cars high off the ground run in to it they will be guaranteed to roll.

Could do, but likely won't. The voters punished Labor when shorten mentioned policies that maybe might have started making houses more affordable.

Personally i think CGT discounts should never have been a thing. Negative gearing should only have been for new builds and with a time limit of say 10 years.

Short of a time traveling assassination of John Howard I don't think we can easily unfuck the last few decades of bad policy.

That was my impression when I watched the video. However after watching, I googled who is the voice actor for Australian Google maps and it claimed she was. But then Google search results are so shit these days it wouldn't surprise me if that was wrong.

When I used Google maps, I would change the voice guidance to UK English as I couldn't stand the nasal tone the default Aussie one had.

After watching this, I swear Google must have fed her voice through a filter to make it sound different.

Negative gearing should only have ever been allowed on new builds, and even then restricted to a maximum of say 10 years.

My work let's us swap the day off. With it being on a Friday this year I don't think many are swapping. Plenty did in previous years when it fell mid week. Ends up being a bit ridiculous with everyone taking different days though.

I'm really not attached to it being on the 26th. I think shifting it to always being the last Friday in January or first Friday in February would be better anyway. I reckon most people don't give a shit either way about the actual date and just want a long weekend in summer.

When I was younger it was always a fun day, hottest 100 party and the fireworks in Perth. Hottest 100, I don't even know when they do that and the fireworks have been canned also.

Maybe if a new day is picked then it can go back to being a unifying celebration. Probably not likely though, I think those pushing the divide and conquer thing like having excuses for culture wars. Getting people angry about stuff other than the massive wealth inequality in our country is their priority.

On my gaming PC: I had a lot of random boots to black screen. (Vega 56 GPU)

USB ports did not function at all with USB drives.

TF2 had terrible performance compared to windows.

There was no way to configure my sound card settings.

I still run Ubuntu + kodi on my HTPC, have done for about 10 years. Updating versions of either can often lead to time spent in the terminal. Usually nvidia gpu related. So far the issues have been overcome.

I don't have a search bar on Graphene OS.

Especially on mobile as we hold our phones the correct (opposite) way round in portrait mode compared to the northern hemisphere.

We write following the rise in disturbing rhetoric linking Australia’s migration levels to the current housing crisis

Oh please. I don't think you have anything to worry about with any of the major parties. They are full of hot air on this topic, while they might occasionally mention something negative about immigration the truth is they are all for letting in as many of the right type of immigrant at possible as per the wishes of the business council.

And if you think that supply / demand doesn't influence housing prices and wages then I have a selection of bridges you sell you.

Coalition math: Three times zero equals many more decades of fossil fuel lobby getting what they want.

Same.

I use simple calendar widget's agenda and monthly planner. Glad to hear they are being forked.

Same. Not sure what happened there. Have replaced with it's lat long.

That's why we call those type of "bike lanes" a murder strip.

Have them where I live too.
