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.

Yeah, i dislike exploring fire roads on my MTB. I have been thinking of getting a Stark Varg EX

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 .

You can make your own Lemmy iinstance and be your own censorship police, that’s the difference. Thats NOT an option on Reddit.
Hell, you don’t even have to be on Lemmy, Mastodon, any if the Bins etc can interact bacause they alo use ActivityPub.
There are plethora of instances people don’t federate with becase they don’t agree with them, that’s how it SHOULD be.

To much regulatory oversite needed I’d siggest to make ot work outside of the paid solutions.
When i was first interested in the issie this seemed the perfect use case for crypto, fast foward 5 years and it still seems that way.
I’d suggest XNO but maybe there is something else ?
- Comment on Potential Decentralized Fediverse Alternative to Ko-fi, Patreon, etc.? 4 weeks ago:
Hey XNO bro, I thought it was the perfect token for what you were talking about.
I jave a bunch of XNO, any creatives taking them ? Might as well “gift” them away.
- Comment on One in five Australian renters are living without essential items and in poverty, peak body study finds 1 month ago:
In this release, ‘migrants’ refers to people who have arrived in Australia since January 2000, and includes permanent migrants who have become Australian citizens during this period.
Is that a peculiar way to be refered to. When is an Australian citizen not a migrant ?
Yeah that ‘average salary’ is lies damned lies and statistics
Only if you don’t understand the difference between avergae (mean) and median. A kid working at Maccas twice a week can skew the diffeence as much as the repugnant wage paid to the Macquaire Bank CEO.

and are generally classified as shit areas as a result.
But that’s subjective yeah ? I’m hear visiting my 83yr old mother on the Sunshine Coast over Christmas, this place is to me a literal “shit hole”. It’s mostly a sprawling mess of hot terrible housing with acres of concrete and asphalt with a car needed to do anything and zero redeeming qualities. For a few days prior I visited my sister in Brisbane, another sprawling mess of hot terrible housing with zero redeeming features.
I used to live in an apartment I owned on the 10th floor with an ocean view on the Gold Coast, cool beezes, a walk to swimmable broadwater and a tram and train were some compensation.
The tiny rural town in Tasmania I now live in to me is comparative nirvana. There are basic houses near me for sale starting with a 3 and quite nice ones starting with a 4. We have a little van, as for sure u need a car occasionally but we mostly walk or cycke. I filled it up in August and it’s still on 1/2 a tank.
- Comment on Lone Soldiers. New Australian IDF recruits due to arrive in Israel in January 1 month ago:
Why could they not go to Ukraine if they wanted to actually fight for freedom, instead of taking up arms with the idf…of all the repugnant orgisnations to join, this ranks up with Isis, to glorify violence and helping make the world a worse place.
Let’s hope they’re treated like Isis recruits and if granted Israeli citizenship, forever denied travel visas to Australia
- Comment on Commonwealth Bank pauses plans to charge customers $3 fee to withdraw cash 1 month ago:
What fucking communication is there to get right on being greedy money hungry bastards?
A cost of cash conversation. Trying to cover the ever increasing cost per traansactiin for the small nunber of cash transactiins and possibly preempt the RBA stopping them milking so much from credit/debit fees where they can recover costs
As to being money hungry we’re in a neo liberal, capatilist economic system. They’re supposed to be money hungry, it’s how we incentivise. If you want more government oversite, or government institutions competing, you’ll need to stop voting LNP or ALP and start voting Green. Until then, more of the same. Less competition and more enshitifaction is the only outcome possible as this continues…

True enough, selling your soul to Google to pay the bills might make.you reasses your life and becone a sex worker.
My snark aside, your assertion is the most ridlcious ludicrous thing I’ve read this year and theres not much left to the year. Its that weird perspective that makes it different to what ? fisting a cow as a vetenerian or jacking off a horse to collect it’s semen ?
- Comment on Can Australia actually have a sensible debate about immigration? 2 months ago:
Can’t see how ? Many see immigration as a business thing, seeing people as a utility, let in well educated people who can nation build or some such justification to exploit others.
Many see it as protecting their “way of life”, see the same thing around housing with NIMBYism, “I’m here fuck anyone else”, bizzarely, recent immigrants seem the worst in that respect
Many are just outright (or covert) racist.
Some weirdos like me are complelty open border.
There’s little in common with any of them aside from dislike for the other groups, aside from then all loathing my stance which seems the uniting factor :)
