- Comment on Wagga Wagga man charged with displaying Nazi symbols over shopfront poster 1 day ago:
They’ll of course go after the Murdoch media for similar images, right?
Right?
- Comment on Daily Kos is moving to WordPress 5 days ago:
Yeah, but why WordPress? The site is blocked in Singapore btw, so I can’t RTFA.
- Comment on Wafrn: a tumblr clone that federates with fedi and now also has opt in native bluesky 6 days ago:
Also includes Doom in the settings. Mouse didn’t work for me though.
- Comment on NSW to ban people from appealing if working with children check denied 1 week ago:
They’re not thinking. They’re in kneejerk mode, because of what happened in Victoria. Personally, I’d be surprised if the proposed legislation survived any examination by the courts.
- Comment on Antoinette Lattouf wins unlawful termination case against ABC 2 weeks ago:
The Murdoch media living rent free in their heads.
- Comment on Mastodon: New Terms of Service IP clause cannot be terminated or revoked, not even by deleting content 3 weeks ago:
They’ve already delayed its deployment to reconsider the feedback. - mastodon.social/@Mastodon/114709820512537821

He’s white.
- Comment on Aukus will cost Australia $368bn. What if there was a better, cheaper defence strategy? 3 weeks ago:
A nuke sub operating there for a couple of months is still better than a DE that leaves after a week (presuming it can reach that far at all).
- Comment on Aukus will cost Australia $368bn. What if there was a better, cheaper defence strategy? 3 weeks ago:
We deploy our subs for blue water not just littoral use. They patrol up as far as the South China Sea. Nukes allow us the stay on station for much longer than DEs.
- Comment on Meta Filed a Lawsuit Against The Entity Behind a Nudify App. 4 weeks ago:
Beta most certainly did have porn. VHS’s advantage was that it had a longer record time (therefore more porn).
- Comment on UK, France, Canada threaten ‘concrete actions’ if Israel does not halt fighting, boost aid 1 month ago:
- Comment on Sound it out: Victorian children improve reading ‘leaps and bounds’ thanks to phonics 1 month ago:
Phonetics was used in WA at least as early as the 70s.
My understanding is that another method, where kids were expected to just spell and pronounce words as they believed, replaced it. Unfortunately, the alternate method was essentially dogshit, and there’s been a push to return to phonetics over the last decade or so. The ABC or SBS did a doco on it.
- Comment on Voters, ‘left media’ to blame for Coalition wipeout: Rinehart 2 months ago:
She lives in a bubble. Same as Bolt, who also blamed the voters. They’ve removed themselves from the mainstream, and can’t fathom the masses thinking fundamentally different from them.
Even a walloping with the clue stick, like what happened on Saturday, isn’t enough to shake their faith that they’re right. That’s why they blame the media, the left, the immigrants, anyone but themselves.
- Comment on Mark Zuckerberg Thinks You Don't Have Enough Friends and His Chatbots Are the Answer 2 months ago:
Every generation does. When my parents were born, a computer was a job title. Both my grandfathers were born before the invention of powered flight, and lived to see men walk on the moon. The only constant is continuous change.

Some Australian Facebook users are getting a payout because of CA. www.abc.net.au/news/2024-12-17/…/104737166
Not me, unfortunately.

Maybe Sony should have some things cutoff for that root kit, hmmm?
- Comment on What's a cancelled game you really miss? 2 months ago:
Babylon 5: Into the Fire. Killed just months before release after a corporate restructure. The closest we got was some Freespace mods.

It’s also in The Menagerie.
- Comment on Will SNW (or any future Trek) Retcon Mojave, California? 3 months ago:
Isn’t this from The Cage? They’ve had 60+ years. I doubt it’s a high priority.

Nextcloud.
- Comment on When building a home server, could a used/cheap PC do the job? 3 months ago:
It depends, but probably. I use 5-10yo laptops running Debian.
- Comment on Is there an Australian equivalent for boycotting american products ? 4 months ago:
Nextcloud? I was looking for a friend and there was a German company that was offering 1TB for €5. The friend wanted something in Germany, but I suspect you can find similar deals elsewhere.

Like I told my last wife, I says, “Honey, I never drive faster than I can see. Besides that, it’s all in the reflexes.”
