- Comment on Calendar Options *other* than Tuta / Proton 1 week ago:
Oh yea, Baikal is incredibly light and they do publish an arm docker image. You could absolutely tun a bunch of other services off the same SBC if it’s a RPi4 or stronger.
- Comment on Calendar Options *other* than Tuta / Proton 1 week ago:
I don’t think it’s E2EE, because it uses open standards, bur you could self-host (including on a VPS if that’s easier) a Baikal server. It does contact sync as well, using the CalDAV and CardDAV standards.

So you’ll put Labor below One Nation?
- Comment on Prime ministers' heads severed and stolen from bronze statues in Ballarat 1 week ago:
I’m not accusing anyone, I’m in favour of both this and last year’s actions in support of ending Invasion Day. If anyone thinks that some statue’s being desecrated as a form of protest is too far, they’re part of the bloody problem. We’re so uncomfortable being inconvenienced in any way, shape or form in this country.

Bingo. And if you don’t use apps with ads, like only using jellyfin, you get none at all.

- Comment on Australia bans DeepSeek on government devices over security risk 4 weeks ago:
Apple Intelligence isn’t in the same league. It’s entirely local-only, except for when it specifically asks/offers to use ChatGPT for certain things. Even Siri has been local-only for some time on most devices (notably not homepods).
- Comment on Metadata 101: Understanding the basics of media metadata 4 weeks ago:
I don’t get why for a protest? They’re usually public events, so if you’re identifiable you’re at risk. Let alone that, as the article states, it’s pretty easy to scrub metadata from digital files.

- Comment on Australia (Act) Day (annual repost) 5 weeks ago:
I personally am of the belief that some citizens of this country like it on the 26/01 precisely because it hurts some of our citizens.
The one person I saw in the Melbourne CBD yesterday wrapped in an Australian flag was also wearing a Donald Trump MAGA hat, for whatever that’s worth.
- Comment on Prime ministers' heads severed and stolen from bronze statues in Ballarat 5 weeks ago:
Yes, there are likely to be many people that are offended by the date being changed. But personally I don’t think we should base the future of our nation on the likes of Peter Dutton and his ilk.

No one is asking you to feel guilty. We’re asking you to acknowledge the past, and to acknowledge the privilege that brings you. To use that to help forge a path of reconciliation forward together as a nation.

You’re right, I messed that one up, but honestly who actually cares? I certainly don’t.
Why not have a day that we can all celebrate.
- Comment on Prime ministers' heads severed and stolen from bronze statues in Ballarat 1 month ago:
I really think that your and @Tau@aussie.zone’s have some really outdated beliefs here. At what point, after trying “respectably” to have their voices heard, are indigenous mob supposed to rise up?
As well, do you even know about your own history, and the history of this so-called country? Invasion Day celebrates the anniversary of Cook’s invasion of these lands. That is why his statues have been targeted around this date, because that is what is being celebrated on this day.
As a trans woman, I am always going to stand in solidarity with other minority groups. Always was, always will be.
- Comment on Prime ministers' heads severed and stolen from bronze statues in Ballarat 1 month ago:
Many indigenous activists consider the national apology to be an entirely empty gesture.
- Comment on Prime ministers' heads severed and stolen from bronze statues in Ballarat 1 month ago:
Definitely not. Invasion day is tomorrow, and the term “the colony/commonwealth will fall” is used by first nations activists. Recall back to last year when the Captain Cook statue was toppled in St. Kilda.
- Comment on Nonstop Wildfires Are Straining the Global Arsenal to Fight Them 1 month ago:
I’m merely hoping that the collective intelligence of 8 billion aided by AI and whatnot…
Okay, two things. Firstly, AI is causing a massive acceleration in the damage we’re doing to the climate. It is incredibly power-hungry to train those models. Secondly, AI is, in fact, incredibly bloody stupid. It is not “intelligent”, and in essence is just a rebranding of what AI should be for marketing purposes. It’s not capable of novel ideas, nor does it try to be.
Please for the love of all that is good in this world could people educate themselves on how terrible AI actually is.

There’s no way I’m turning the aircon fully off on a 30° night with another 40+ day predicted for the following. I do also have a medical need though.
- Comment on Apps doing year wrapped gives you a hint on how are you being tracked. There is probably a legal issue there somewhere like data retention. 2 months ago:
medical stuff is very niche
Is it though? I personally feel like it’s much more down to the attitudes of people that create and contribute to foss applications. I do understand that for profit companies have more resources, but I genuinely think that foss folks don’t do enough to support accessibility, and don’t often focus on medical stuff. There are exceptions to that though, drip is an awesome app for example.

Daylio does not do “opt-out data collection”. IT doesn’t even have “opt-in”.
Yes, and while that’s a fine ideal, it does not always produce well-made or polished applications. For myself, Daylio is a medical/mental health app that assisted with my diagnosis of Bipolar disorder. Unfortunately FOSS apps related to medical stuff are not the greatest or most widely developed.

You’re right, I should just refuse to trust any developers and go back to the paper journal I never used.

I use the journalling app Daylio, which has a wrapped feature. It’s all done locally, on device. Not every implementation of this feature is spying on you.

Music players have been keeping play counts since before the invention of the iPod. It’s a datapoint that users have come to expect. I actually wish services like Spotify or Apple Music did a better job of displaying this data throughout the year rather than just in end of year infographics.
Like I dunno, Google is literally collating your location data, I hardly think music plays is top secret info.

Nah, I think that’s an issue with the jellyfin server. It happens to me too, using Swiftfin on AppleTV.
- Comment on Bunnings told to destroy 'faceprint' data after landmark ruling on facial recognition use 3 months ago:
I’m sorry, but this is about facial recognition, not an AI that can figure out if someone is shoplifting? They don’t pay someone to sift through all that footage and note down when someone is actually stealing, that just doesn’t happen. Let alone that the cameras don’t have full coverage of the store. So your statement is just not accurate.
