Humans are why we cannot have nice things. The internet was always going to get ridiculous, just like the usa was always going to prove back to the future right in the stupidest possible way.

for who?

subtlety and social media…

If Australians are not stupid, how do you explain decades of (pro fossil fuel) duopoly, instead of democracy?

Did you forget this /s Or are you a fossil?

Yeah… nah, fuck off sbs

might be worth looking into

I’m not sure of anything, I would look into it further were I planning on using it, which I might do in the future, Garuda KDE lite looks like a decent distro.

From the little I have looked into it, it is all meant to be checked, adding an extra layer of protection, as long as your trust the people behind it (much like official I guess)

Another poorly written meandering article with a rubbish title

This seems to be the only bit possibly worth reading:

"Insurance costs hit homebuyers

Professor Paula Jarzabkowski, an expert on insurance protection gaps at the University of Queensland, says there’s already significant evidence that many Australians are struggling to get adequate cover for their properties — either because it’s too expensive or because policies exclude specific risks, like certain types of flood or fire.

She says these issues are not isolated to small communities in regional areas.

“Brisbane is built on a floodplain, parts of Sydney are built on floodplains, so we have seen catastrophic flooding in these major cities as well,” she tells SBS News.

“We’ve seen bushfires at the urban bush interface in Perth.”

This is not something happening to a few isolated communities, this is something that’s happening in our cities.

Newcastle conveyancer Leah Stevens sold her business in April but says insurance costs appear to have risen, particularly over the past five years.

She says about 30 per cent of the Newcastle local government area is designated flood-prone land, and she began advising clients to always obtain a home and contents insurance quote before exchanging contracts to avoid a “rude shock” once they were already locked in.

“We’ve had clients that have obtained [insurance] quotes and decided not to proceed with certain purchases,” she tells SBS News.

Stevens warns lenders generally require borrowers to have building insurance in place before settlement, and some policies have costs up to $14,000 a year, which can be a significant additional expense for prospective buyers."

I only use official and flatpak, I wouldn’t even use flatpak if official had more.

Chaotic aur might be worth looking into if aur is what you want. Everything there is theoretically checked.

friends don’t let friends use the AUR

Government and logic are strangers.

The form online to request a paper census still requires you to use your phone number for verification, but I still see that as preferable to doing it online where I am expecting a 3rd party app for face verification, google chrome, windows 11, a blood sample, and a scan of every book in the house.

must have been fun at the height of covid

I hope it doesn’t get continuously robbed and vandalised during construction…

Australia will be a dumping ground for nuclear waste from mcmurica.

Is that you Pauline?

Very old news, and definitely not restricted to just kogan.
