Absolutely, as a Linux uswr if only 18 months it was a complete balls up me trying to install Signal from tje shitty instructions. Their website, a seasoned Linux user in the forum said how he could see how I was confused becase the command lines on the Singnal website to do the install all ran together, since then it's been fine but just Flatpak FFS.
Yeah but in my LMDE, Flameshot wont save files and is buggy as shit. It has an option to selext what App to open the screen shot in and that does't work, share with another app and that doesn't work, save the file and the files not there. Now, highly possible it works for others and just not for me
Hell, my Logitech kb can't even use the screenshot button to take a screenshot.
As an Australian social media isn't the problem, like the internet isnt the problem, its commersialisation thats the problem. The need to grow the custoner base sees outrageous behaviours from corporations like Meta, Google, Apple etal but that's what they're incentivised to do, so that's what happens.
This legilisation won't solve shit. The government and the polotical class forcing citizens to use Facebook or Twitter to get information, they could start there.
You think non-tech people are gonna understand that?
Yes becase they're not looking to understand the protocol behind federarion anymore then you dowbt understand the protocol behind email, so they will grok better then you how it works bybusibg the email allegory, sending from gmail to outlook works for them.
I also use the phone network as another allegory if their eyes do glaze over, i can be with one phone company and phone somone on another companies plan. They have little idead of the prorogation of radiowaves etc that makes that all work.
True enough, as is the visit it before it's gone. Yes, the Great Barrier Reef is dying from emissions and the resultant rising temp but fuck it, fly across the planet.
Interesting to read the comments, I was unaware anyone gave mich if a shit about posts, let alone how others might vote on them. I mean I don't actually know anyone here.
I do hit the upvote occasioanly if a post was helpfu/usefull... to me. Conditioning is the only real explanation I have for that behaviour though.
Quitting a job cold is one of the dumbest things you can do when you do not have any safety nets.
I quit work at 35 and now 58. My only regret in life is not quitting earlier. I get mo pensions or welfare or inheritance, I'm just mindful of spending and ever since I was 19 I invested small amounts of surplus income in stocks and shares that ballooned over the decades to large amounts.

Can't see how ? Many see immigration as a business thing, seeing people as a utility, let in well educated people who can nation build or some such justification to exploit others.
Many see it as protecting their "way of life", see the same thing around housing with NIMBYism, "I'm here fuck anyone else", bizzarely, recent immigrants seem the worst in that respect
Many are just outright (or covert) racist.
Some weirdos like me are complelty open border.
There's little in common with any of them aside from dislike for the other groups, aside from then all loathing my stance which seems the uniting factor :)
There are no nations, there's only Humanity, but if we don't understand this soon there will be no nations, because there will be no Humanity" - Isaac Asimov.
Well yeah but i find it "interesting" that our poltical reaponse to defence seems to be big bad toys, 1/2 of which never seem to work or we have zero ability to service in a time if war, then we can't trasport them on our roads as they're too heavy (Abrams Tanks) becase we have no rail.infrstruxture. Ukraine woukd be finished without their rail.
For the reasons you point out, there are only two nations in the world that could prosecute a war on the other side of the planet, China and the US. We have defences against neither and cant not offer ofrence against either, so at the end if the day I'm not sure why we even bother? Personally I'd be more worried about a US invasion,which they defaxto done but at least with China we'd end up with a decent railway system and better food.
Particularly after watching thr war in Ukraine unfold, everything we do in Aus. in terms if defence seeens laughable. One manufacturing facility for artillery for example. Finland seems to actually take it seriously, sure they've had war at their door in the past but so have we..
Many years ago, making a sandwich, dude says he needs to piss, i apologise say theres no toilets, he says no worries, pulls his dick out and pisses right there.
Only if you've been one of the people who abuse their staff, steal or have been banned Your face is scanned upon entry, it is then compared to that rogues gallery, if it doesn't match, the scan is deleted, if it flags against their rogues gallery, securty pays closer attention to you.
If its as they say, I have no issies with it . their is no corelation between who I am and the scan they took of me and its not in the Governemnts hands. I'd suggest a privacy commissioner audit would make more sense. We are scanned at aiports AND our data is stored, i have more concern about that
I love how people make such broad statements as though the ALP and LNP aren't complete fucking shitballs but hey.... The Greens policies.. After all it took 50 years ti get to the stage so we best keep digging the same hole with the tweddle dum or tweedle dee. As though a livable planet is such an unecessary thing and not the basis of everything we are.
