When this under 16 ban comes in I’m going to lose all the collected art resources I carefully organised and all my YouTube playlists…
VPNs get you banned or shadowbanned but kids under 16 won’t care. They could just keep churning through a bunch of new accounts, the disposability encouraging them to do whatever they want.
But for me when I’m unwell and can’t do much else I spend a lot of time collecting and organising reference photos, art tutorials, and posts with links to free art books. There’s a few years worth that will be near impossible to back up.
And I don’t know what sites will be affected which makes it hard to even try to start migrating.
It will also cut me off from a lot of other artists.
This crap isn’t going to do anything but punish disabled people who spend a lot of time online and people who care about privacy.
But that’s the Australian government’s way. Make grand promises (usually involving “protecting the children”) and then do something that doesn’t work - and has unintended consequences.
I have much more to say about that but I’m tired -_-
Had to log in install an app and allow location (which I will be turning off) just to be able to print a test page and run the head cleaning thing… on a printer.
I swear ten years ago this crap would have seemed like malware. Requiring a full colour cartridge to print b+w is definitely a scam.
No black is printing despite it saying the cartridge has some. Waiting on a second level clean and next I’m going to try installing new drivers.
Missing my hulking reliable old printer scanner and wishing I didn’t buy a HP.
Outside of here the internet is so loudly full of young teens and children. I avoid anywhere they might be expected to hang around and move to places for adults - but they are also there and that’s actually worse.
Not a new thing but now they don’t hide their ages and in fact they make it your problem. The behaviour is also much more inappropriate and disruptive.
Please just let me enjoy my downtime or occupy myself when unwell. -_-
Sorry, missed seeing that there were no back seats so my advice wasn’t too useful.
I’m no expert, just once heard the safest place in a crash was behind the driver and the most dangerous the front passenger seat. I guess wherever her carrier can be secured works.
And I always put her side-on so in case of a sudden stop her shoulder or flank hopefully takes the bump rather than her head or spine.
Gabapentin mixes nicely into wet food or gooey tube treat 👍
I’m not sure if this is best practice. But when Melbcat goes in the car I put her carrier side-on in the back seat behind the driver and use the bottom of the seatbelt to secure it.
It was through a third party and so repairs and warranties are a wild goose chase. I’ve seen people complaining about it when looking it up.
And yes, it would be simpler to just wash dishes myself. That’s just not always possible and after past …incidents I’m selective about who I allow to help.
I hoped a machine would allow that autonomy but apparently not
And if this troubleshooting doesn’t work I’m tempted to put Midea out on her lazy arse. I haven’t really found this machine to be helpful. On top of the expense it’s mostly been a massive hassle and dragged chores out.
Added to that I’ve found cockroaches love the moisture and some are nesting behind it. It’s very easy to spill water while filling so you would have to move the heavy bulk and wipe the drips behind every time, and there’s not much you can do about having to leave the door open after use.
I seriously regret the purchase. It isn’t suiting my needs and I don’t like it.
