Enshittification is subtle and started long before we realized.
No it didn’t , lot of folks have been banging on about it for decades.
Like privacy, most peole dont give a shit until it’s too late and then say but no body said anything.
I’ve been screaming into the void from the mid '90s.

How could it though ? Posts on server A might not be allowed on server B ?
I’ve always assumed post migration would never be a thing becase of that.

- Comment on Bruce Lehrmann faces Hobart court accused of stealing Toyota 4WD 1 week ago:
This seems so weird, he asked somone who he thought was the owner if he coukd borrow the car to help a neighbour out, they said yeah, so he did and returned it full of fuel.
Next thing the cops are arresting him for theft ? Turns out the guy that said yeah knew the owner but wasn’t the owner ? If all of this is true, wtf didn’t the dude who didn’t own it say yeah take it ?
My guess, tbis will be dismissed.

Their are 3 countries with rare earth minerals China, Australia, and greenland.
What ? Rare earths are everywhere, they are just difficult to extract and toxic as shit to procees, you also always have nuclear waste associated with it that is concentrated in the treatment process.
There’s a reason Lynas set up a plant in Malayasia for thier WA mined ores, they would have been unlikely to get a license way back in the day becase of the toxic shit that comes from processing. They’ve already polluted large parts of the rainforested areas in Malaysia from tailings dam overflows.
www.abc.net.au/news/2019-08-22/…/11434122
Australia’s advantage isn’t it’s massive rare earth windfall, it’s that only a few “black fellas” live in or near vast areas that can be mined, so we just ignore them or throw them a few tokens as we rape and pillage the natural environment. Much of the rest of the world has people living on it.
There are all sorts of mineral deposits across Europe for example, look at Rio’s large proposed Lithium mine in Serbia and the push back, why ? People… and not just indigenous people no one gives a shit about.

Serbia blocked plans for Europe’s biggest lithium mine – a flagship project of Rio Tinto new chief executive – in a dramatic response to local opposition

Well, not really they have face recognition on the entrance to see if you match one of the scum bags beating their staff or stealibg shit and it’s deleted, there’s no tracking. If you do match there security staff are alerted.
Taking them at their word, your image is deleted after 0.2s and they have no idea who you are anyway. Your anonumous scan just doest match said scum bag.
I’m ok with it if what they say happens does happen, an audit by the privacy commissioner should conform that either way and then thy can clear them or expose them. Instead they just said don’t do it.
It’s nothing like biomteric scans at airports where who you are is matched to your facial scan.

Mine wasnt as difficult, we went 1/2s on most things, she kept her super which was much more then mine, she kept the Lexus i kept the the old ute.
But to be fair she’d worked hard and that was fair. Wasn’t that I’d had an affair etc I was just tired and wanted to move on, she hadn’t changed, I had.

and explore the endless fire roads near me. Find ones i can ride on my MTB for loops etc
I ride lots of them on my e MTB but long slogs with road closed signs aren’t as much fun .
