You could if you were a billionaire. Although there is a paradox in that technically you’d have no soul.

It’s a weird trick though. As someone whose brain doesn’t know what 40 to 45g feels like in weight, it certainly thinks it knows what a golf balls feel like in weight.

- Comment on Signal boss warns app will exit Australia if forced to hand over users’ encrypted messages 5 days ago:
It’s pretty convenient for sharing new account/access passwords which is something I need to do occasionally. In the back of my mind I keep saying ‘you could do this more securely if you thought about it for a moment’ but I just ignore the zealot in my skull.

I think that the number of folks who will run bespoke solutions will be so small that it’ll be insignificant. Signals benefit is its ease of onboarding. If Signal leaves ASIO knows there’s nothing else out there for 99% of it’s users.

- Comment on The Australian government recalls Google Pixel 6a 6 days ago:
I’m a bit confused:
The battery may overheat.
An automatic firmware update to Android 16 was rolled out to Pixel 6a devices in Australia on 8 July 2025.
Google advises that the firmware update provides new battery management features that mitigate the risk of overheating.
Consumers do not need to return their devices.
- Comment on YouTube makes last-ditch attempt to lobby government against inclusion in under-16s social media ban 1 week ago:
Afaik I cannot access existing age restricted videos on YouTube using Newpipe so it’s possible my YouTube viewing will disappear altogether because that’s the only app I use.
I can’t imagine switching to mobile firefox with ublock origin will be smoother.
- Comment on Survey of Income and Housing results will not be released | ABS 1 week ago:
It would be a pretty big scandal if an ABS report was being suppressed. Has it happened before? I just took their word for it. Am I being naive?

- Comment on First Australian tanks handed over to Ukrainian army 2 weeks ago:
I think judging by the timing it seemed like they post everything around the same time but not like all day long and not everything so it’s conceivable they’re reading a lot and just keeping a list to share at the end or start of their day. Kinda hoping they find and share from sources I’m unfamiliar with to expand the range.
