  • Really? My leftie friend got recommended Trumpet of Patriots. I can't be bothered trying it myself.

    So I suspect it is a site owned by Palmer which recommends him randomly for users (randomly to evade easy replication to prove it).

  • This week I learned that, in Australia, historical electoral rolls have not been kept since 2008.

    Before that they were kept as microfische and you can still access those physical records but only in the national capital's library in Canberra.

    So even though it is easy now to archive, they have stopped. Each year the roll would be only about 4GB (18 million voters, 200 characters/bytes per voter). ie would fit on a DVD.

    Certain bodies like researchers and (presumably) cops can get the whole thing each year so we can only hope they are keeping archives.

  • The copies on your phone can be edited too.

    Turns out the other party didn't challenge them. Maybe because he then might have subpoenaed the deleted posts from Facebook (not guaranteed FB will respond to a court order though since we are not in USA).

    My advice to him was to go to a Justice of the Peace before the Facebook posts got deleted, to certify that the printouts are accurate. Having spent $300k on the court case so far, that would have been a trivial effort.

  • I have a 77yo friend who is intelligent but shuts down when I try to teach him more than he already knows about computers.

    He wanted to use screenshots of text conversations in court as evidence and I could not get through to him that one can use Photoshop to alter the text therefore they prove nothing.

  • If you install lineage without gapps for example, I think you'll have great privacy.

    Lineage or Graphene, yes?

    I just bought a second Pixel 4a and can therefore now afford the slight bricking risk to install Graphene or Lineage.

  • I don't understand. If I am using Android already, how does calculator make privacy worse? Calculations are not exactly revealing.

    And if I am using graphene, why would I consider using any Google app?

  • Despite volunteering for them for decades I have stepped away a little. I didn't like Greens'

    • support of the Digital Identity Bill
    • support for Hamas
    • Larissa Waters: "I believe women"

    But they will probably get my #1 in the lower house and may get my preference flows in the upper (certainly ahead of the majors).

    I won't let perfect be the enemy of good.

  • mayor Adam Belot was basing his about-face on the heavily-debunked Channel 7 News report on nickel manufacturing in Indonesia

    He may not have shares in oil or even received much of a bribe. Just rabidly ideologically driven.

    I don't understand the useful-idiots who don't even want renewables to succeed. I understand questioning of viability (we need to guard against green-washing) but they get angry whenever there is news of progress with renewables.
