Yeah, same here, zero fucks given, they’re people, let them move where they want. The upside, if I dont like it I can fuck off.

Pauline Hanson voters ?

Still so much 2FA via SMS where I am in Aus.

I’d prefer to move everything over to something like Signal but I neeed a phone # to register for that but how do u tell the bank my Signal ID is @hanrhan.666

Is there a how to for Linux?

Wtf ever happened to Firefish ?

If the Government issues an order to remove a post that says “Don’t Get vaccinated and pray instead” vs “you called our President/King/Autocrat a cnut, so your post should be removed and your ID passed on so you can be prosecuted” are both having the govenrmt intervene, most sane people in democracies would be ok with the former but not the latter.

As an Australian I was NOT ok with the Australian governments esafety commissioner trying their stunt with Twitter. I find it doubly amazing the continued use of the service by any of our politicians , fcuk them. Set up a Mastodon instance and use that ffs.

The Australian Government issued a bunch of take down notices to Twitter and Musk said no

Musk decided to block them in Australian only which didn’t satisfy the Australian Government

He took them to court and the court sided with Twitter, (x)

The complexity and contradictions were illustrated by Tim Begbie, the lawyer representing the eSafety Commissioner in court. He said that in other cases X had chosen of its own accord to remove content, but that it resisted the order from the Australian government.

“X says […] global removal is reasonable when X does it because X wants to do it, but it becomes unreasonable when it is told to do it by the laws of Australia,” Begbie told the court.

Is there a list for people like me rk be added to ?

Doesn’t #LMDE avoid Ubuntu if that’s what you are looking at doing ? And cones from Debian itself.

I thought Sauia Arabia put up a shed load of cash as well ?

Elon had a cunning plan

True but doesn’t a new password then prompt bitwarden for you to update the credentials ?

Mas.to or c.im

That won’t work in Australia. You can buy the SIM anywhere of course, you just can’t activate it. You’ll need proof of ID on line to do that… There are only three operators (the rest are resellers). I am sure there are ways around it but not the one you suggest.

When I was last in NZ you didn’t need ID must buy a SIM and good to go, not sjre thats still the case though?

Local Send.

Not a mosie, but ny Logitech KB doest work properly on #LMDE no PrntScr etc.

Yes the internet is helping people evade the law, let’s ban that.

I am aure they’d rather be busy doing other things but if the Governmwnt starts taking liberties and shits on the Constitution, then we need someone to step up to the plate… Shame on the Government.

On my mobile I use a pixel 4, I tried Graphene OS but my banking failed so back to stock Android

Here in Australia I just use a physical card for tap and go for payments etc or use cash. No need for Google Pay or bank payments app. Can log in via my bank via a web browser to move cash about or check spending.

I think you demonstrated the entire point, people prefer invasive convenience over privacy., along with flimsy justification. Not having a go, it’s exactly what most people say when I query them about privacy, “It’s so much eaaier and how I manage” etc etc.

Then we have your FB messenger thing. Dead lord, stop that. If they don’t want to chat to me on Signal, they’re obviously not my friend.

Arch is it, u know this :)
