  Thanks for the response.

  It was about Minns being authoritarian, which he has a history of being one. He brought Jews into the discussion so they are fair game as likely some where in his ear, as I am not aware of him being Jewish.

  Can’t use predicate logic in dealing with groups of people. Using statistical measures it is pretty clear that Jews and Arabs don’t like each other, I don’t think that is controversial given the political rhetoric used by politicians to get those groups support. If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck and walks like a duck, it is a duck. Same as trying to seperate Jewish from Israel, there where Israel flags every where during the Bondi tributes.

  Good luck with the site. I will not be participating any further as I think the moderation is a bit cooked. Allowing doxxing but not my comment demonstrates a different priority of values and Cloudflare sucks big time, cannot do anything with having to constantly refresh the page.

  Which is why there is the general rule of zero trust in networks.

  Exactly. Hence I started with the trillion dollar mistake comment, it costs a truck load of money to get any changes for development with no security benefit in this context. I could feed businesses bad data and no network dictatorship can stop that.

  Just noticed my post was deleted, so it wasn’t a load of horse shit. I didn’t take gusimo post seriously as my comment was milquetoast at best but here we are. I guess if I am not allowed to criticize how religious followers affect my life then I suppose this is not the place for me.

  I know exactly want I am talking about. What happened to Optus happens to me all the time when developing custom software for Australian businesses. Sys-admin is all outsourced to a huge Indian conglomerates who have no clear idea about the scope of the network and no incentive to know it. Consistently claim a ticket is completed when it has not been and repeat 5-6 times before they blame the software, repeat until I have a full Phd thesis of evidence demonstrating it is a sys-admin issue.

  In the end it is all security theater because I write the software and could screw up the whole business if I wanted to be malicious.

  They are managing weapon of mass destruction.

  Then Albo needs to get the ADF to drone strike sysadmins who block icmp. Make the world great again!

  And I bet it will be some poor engineer who going to be blamed for the fault.

  Australia has fairly decent democratic system. If plebs are tired of being blamed then they should stop voting for corporate boot licking politicians.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ten mistakes marred firewall upgrade at Australian telco⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If null references are a billion dollar mistake, firewalls are a trillion dollar mistake. It is a tool of oppression by despots. Each route needing an offering of fealty for passage.

  I am not exaggerating when it has taken 6 months to get some simple firewall rules updated to activate a new internal service. Blew my mind! Some of these system admins are nuts with how much everything is locked down, complete masochists watching people struggling to get software to communicate over the network they control.

  Only to the those chronically online. I have never spoken the words ‘globalise the intifada’ but if I want to I should be able to free of penalties. Every second politicians are thinking about this is time taken from more important issues that effect all Australians.

  Nah, instead the guy should never have to work again, if they don’t want to. Need a MP sized lifelong pension. People need real rewards for extraordinary feats that serve the country.

  Thanks for your efforts.

  You can delete this account if you feel the need to, not interested in all verification stuff, even if is half arsed.

  Actually joined the Internet when I was 16 back in 1994. Back then using Excite to search the Internet was better than what Google is today.

  they just feel anything that outrages them is important

  Interesting distinction. Do you have any further reading on this? I am not on any social media, thus I have no real world experience with doom/outrage scrolling, so I cannot make judgement about the plausibility of the statement.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Big tech is a weapon of mass destruction to democracy. Here are three ways Australia can fight back⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There was a time just before big tech where consensus was humans where causing global warming due to burning fossil fuels. This was undermined in less than a decade by journalists and the biggest companies back then; Fossil fuel companies.

  Journalists are not the truth seeking warrior class they claim themselves to be. The population by large wants to be outraged, didn’t need algorithms to tell us, just read historical news. So journalists need to be regulated but covid showed they would rather burn the world to the ground than be restricted in anyway for a greater good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A new report highlights the staggering truth about wage inequality in Australia. Here’s what we need to do better⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I only got the Efficient Wage Theory for Gemini 2.5 pro and from the description I wasn’t convinced of it’s application to reality.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A new report highlights the staggering truth about wage inequality in Australia. Here’s what we need to do better⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Coincidentally I asked Gemmi yesterday to give some modern economic theories where productivity can increase without suppressing wages. It couldn’t!

  In some ways expectations are probably too high as post world war low inequality appears to be a historical anomaly and nothing we are going back too as currently countries are competitive for capital and not cooperative enough to stop capital following exploitation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Albanese's politics of patience: Democracy needs mature leadership⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Cannot take this argument seriously. In a world with a recent uptick in violence and perceived decline, the article is praising a person that has no values and does very little as the epitome of leadership.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘We want builders on site, not filling in forms’: Albanese government cuts red tape in bid to boost home building⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This implies Australia’s million average home value is caused by paper work! It is not realisitic. No government is going to significantly mess with house prices while home owners are the majority. Even if they build more, they will just increase immigration.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Australians could keep more of their wages if we rebalanced taxes on other forms of income⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t really get how this would improve anything. We already dual income system. Most capital gains likely get a 50% discount. Invest under a company for likely a flat 25%.

  Cynically we know what is going to come of this summit, Corporate tax rate will be lowered to 25%.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Limited incentive' for Coles and Woolworths to compete vigorously on price, and margins have risen, ACCC finds⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I diverge from common thoughts here. I don’t want my productivity going to prop up business lobby groups. Colesworth is the result of an economic system that cannot resolve the need for more efficiencies via economies of scale monopolies and the need for much competition to get an accurate price signal. No Australian party wants to tamper with the current economic system, so it was obvious this ACCC report was leading to nothing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Australia's Global Lithium seeks government help, alleging Chinese control attempt of its lithium project in Western Australia⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Are there any Australian public Lithium mining companies that are growing? I have looked a couple of times, nothning extensive and they all are in decline.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who was our worst Prime Minister and why? Any notable state leaders we need to add?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I can only go back as far as Howard, so my personal take is Albo; easily. There is lying on policy which is the norm but lying on values makes him the worst. He championed himself being the kid raised by single mum in a housing commision who was going to be strong on the strong. It was all BS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Stop all time wasting’: Woolworths workers tracked and timed under new efficiency crackdown⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Hence in the upcoming election preference LNP/ALP last. The C-class of these companies will coordinate with these political parties to reduce the influence of employees in the workplace, so they can exploit the excess productivity for there own personal gain.
