“But I think the pressure at the moment needs to be for like-minded countries that share our values, to stand shoulder-to-shoulder

Definitely. The pressure should be on Australia to join Ireland, Norway and Spain.

alansuspect,

I think politicians should be banned from owning multiple properties. It’s a huge conflict of interest.

alansuspect,

It wasn’t even a parenting book, it was a kids book helping them to understand about same sex parents. Apparently at the meeting some people said maybe it should be moved to the adults section until it was pointed out it is for kids.

    The first part is my first name, and I used to be in a punk band called Suspect Package.

    alansuspect,

    I wonder if it’s when it switched to the Gutenberg editor maybe?

    alansuspect,

    I don’t get the appeal of YouTube. I use it for maybe the odd music video or something, but often you’ll just get someone’s annoying commentary instead of the actual thing.

    I live without it and it’s great! Try it.

    alansuspect,

    The people that say it’s their main form of entertainment must have to wade through so much crap to get to anything good, I just don’t see the point.

    alansuspect,

    Yeah I guess if you’ve been using it for a long time and have favourites built up that would work. I remember when YouTube started and it was pretty good, but with every video trying to game the algorithms I couldn’t imagine trying to start afresh now.

    alansuspect,

    All of these AI prompts sound like begging. We’re begging computers to do things for us now.

    alansuspect,

    I think I heard something about the smaller parties getting more funding in the next election if they get more votes. The big parties will always get votes, it’s nice to help the smaller parties out if you believe in them.

    alansuspect,

    I did a quick search - looks like it is based on the number of first pref votes: www.aec.gov.au/…/index.htm

    alansuspect,

    Thanks!

    alansuspect,

    I just ditched Proton Unlimited after moving to it last year from Google. The Drive app just never worked properly. Ended up going with Fastmail for email as I’m in Australia anyway and so far they’ve been good.

    alansuspect,

    I’m still trying to understand searxng, does it start with nothing and build up its index each time you search? Will your results be rubbish for a while?

    alansuspect,

    I see that makes sense. So what does making it public/blending traffic do?

    alansuspect,

    Pineapple in tacos is good too

    alansuspect,

    German food is weird. Once on a train I got a chicken sandwich and it had orange segments in it.

    alansuspect,

    poorer quality services that could be provided better by private industry.

    That could is doing some heavy lifting there.

    Google Podcasts is gone — and so is my faith in Google (www.theverge.com)

    The Podcasts app is just the latest product to go through a process I’ve come to call The Google Cycle. It always goes the same way: the company launches a new service with grandiose language about how this fits its mission of organizing and making accessible the world’s information, quickly updates it with a couple of neat...

    alansuspect,

    Damn I forgot about Reader 😞 I kept my late-00s “Legacy” Google Apps account until the end of last year, when their discounted rate (after fully removing free) was about to go up.

    alansuspect,

    We’ve come on holiday by mistake.

    alansuspect,

    Photopea is great

    alansuspect,

    I did some very quick searching, according to this carnewschina.com/…/new-2023-byd-dolphin-launched-… the Dolphin launched in China for ~AUD$25,400 and you can currently buy it in Australia from AUD$38,890.

    So it’s obviously more but they have their government discounts. Depending on the state here you can get rebates too.

    alansuspect,

    I read Sleep recently, it’s really good!

    alansuspect,

    I read through all of them a couple of years ago, he’s one of my favourite writers and all the books are pretty good. They jump around a lot and try different things which keep it interesting, from what I remember.

    alansuspect,

    How do you become a beta reader?
