Flu shots are not free though, unless you hit some specific criteria.

I think if if ends up being around the flu shot cost then it’s not absurdly expensive, but still might reinforce the notion that it’s not important anymore, reducing vaccination rates further (even in vulnerable groups).

This part is slightly concerning:

The bill’s scope has also been tweaked – instead of employers having to prove that working from home would have a “significant adverse impact” on efficiency and productivity, they now only have to demonstrate a “material impact”.

On the other hand, business groups seem to be throwing a tantrum, suggesting the law still has enough teeth:

On Tuesday, a joint statement was released by the Business Council of Australia, the Australian Industry Group, the Victorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and others, which said the amendments “do not fix a fundamentally flawed law that will risk Victoria’s economy and send jobs interstate”.

“The bill should be abandoned, and no amendment can fix its fundamental problems,” the groups said.

And of course, there’s also a risk of a future government undoing the whole thing, especially since it’s now delayed until mid 2027.

They might be treating convential hybrids as separate from petrol. But yeah, would be nice to see a clear breakdown.

Plug-in hybrids.

If you’re in the US, it’s because all of the major ISPs siphoned up much of the ipv4 address space so they can still offer it to everyone.

In Australia, on the other hand, most ISPs provide CGNAT by default, although most of them offer a free opt-out and have ipv6. Mobile services are also typically CGNAT, although many offer ipv6 + 464XLAT (an ipv4 compatibility mode using ipv6).

In developing countries some sort of ipv6 solution is almost universal, particularly those with higher populations such as India, since it would cost an absurd amount of money to buy up that amount of ipv4 address space today.

Only if we continue to buy absurdly large vehicles. Electric hatchbacks and sedans are lighter even with battery weight included.

And if people won’t change on their own, then tax the vehicles based on weight.

Have you tried koreader? It’s not perfect, but if the screen is large enough it normally works pretty well. I use it on a Kobo reader, but it works on Android as well (not sure about iOS).

This website is like 10 years old from memory, well before grid-scale batteries were widespread (well they still aren’t in many countries).

Raw sunshine and moonlight should also work for this use case, albeit with some manual config work potentially.

You can always self host forgejo, but yeah, codeberg is an opinionated place, I suspect primarily due to resource constraints. Not a github replacement and not really trying to be.

It’s more noticeable and visceral which is why people are up in arms about it. And rather than downplaying it why not use this as an opportunity to advocate for stringent privacy laws. Because I think you’ll find most people do care about the excessive surveillance, they are just not aware of it.

I integrate Miniflux with readeck, which is then combined with a readeck plugin for koreader, allowing me to easily read articles on my ereader, without relying on a paid service.

I’m also one of those people that still uses custom ROMs on Android, and since the backup and restore situation is still kind of dire if you don’t use Google (and sometimes even with) it’s easier to have most of my configuration and state stored on a server, and so I can wipe a phone with relatively little risk.

I’m pretty sure it’s satire, but looks like it didn’t land well.

You could use tailscale or netbird. Alternatively, you can use a dynamic DNS provider which usually provide free subdomains, if you don’t want to pay for a domain. And even with all of that, Jellyfin doesn’t require HTTPS, although there may be clients that do (make sure you’re behind a VPN in this case).

I can’t find it either, but maybe they reminded people of this:

I had a quick look and the AI features that are added:

• LLM driven tagging suggestions
• Remote OCR (Azure AI)

They do look to be optional at least. I’d probably be a bit more concerned if the code was largely written with LLMs, given the large number of commits in what looks to be only a few months.

Effective as of the end of this sentence. This sentence I’m speaking right now. Period.

A good idea then and will remain so for a while, but I suspect gas will be close to irrelevant for the local electricity market within a decade. Hopefully WA starts pushing hard on the renewable transition as they have been a bit of a laggard historically, but I get the impression they are starting to ramp up.

On your bill example, the per kwh and supply charge would be more comparable, although I get that time of use etc can complicate things.

The state being Victoria, to preclude the clickbaity headline. Good news in any case and hopefully it spreads to other states.

There has also been a trend in suburban areas toward people not using their garages to actually store their cars, and just using the street. I think there should be at least some amount of price imposed on street parking, even if it’s minimal.
