I wonder what their reaction would be if you are running Graphene OS and you gave them the duress PIN.
Probably overkill but I still run an old x86 office PC I picked up cheap in an auction. Currently running Linux mint + Kodi. Really like the Kore phone app to control it.
We are also a "one paper" state. Guess who owns that media and what pies they have their fingers in.
Straight from the fuckwits page here: https://minister.dcceew.gov.au/bowen/media-releases/joint-media-release-new-vehicle-efficiency-standard-tailored-australia
Recategorising a limited number of 4WDs from passenger car to light commercial vehicle. This acknowledges that some off-road wagons use similar ladder-frame chassis, and need comparable towing capacity above 3 tonnes, to dual cab utes. This includes models such as the Toyota Landcruiser and Nissan Patrol;
Land cruiser and patrol? Oh fuck off. They are primarily used as soccer mum taxis in urban areas.
Apparently Bowen's job title shouldn't be taken as first thought. The "Minister for Climate Change and Energy" actually means the minister for causing further climate change rather than preventing it.
The federal government will water down proposed carbon emissions laws for vehicles, as it seeks to appease car makers who feared it would push up the price of some cars by thousands of dollars.
Laborel party letting foreign companies dictate policy.
We know the liberal party have been itching to do this for a while now. Scummo mentioned it in the last days before the election.
No doubt it's happening next time the liberal party gets in.
As if it isn't enough that they transfer tax dollars to established real estate owners, they will transfer super balances to them as well.
I'm not sure the families living in tents and cars will agree with you.
Prosper Australia says if we were smarter about taxing land, we could slash taxes on workers and businesses, writes Gareth Hutchens.
Perhaps you aren't aware that we have a housing crisis in Australia.
Record low rental vacancies. Housing is too expensive and scarce for people on median incomes.
The people we import typically have enough money to displace those who don't. Those who don't end up homeless. Our politicians don't give a fuck as many own multiple investment properties.
Excellent news for the economy, and by the economy I mean "rich people's yachts"
Ours didn't get to stay home, but they weren't allowed outside at lunch the other week when it was over 40. Lucky for them the school has air con in all buildings.
Not having all the silly teenager / young adult bits of their lives documented in videos for all to see.
They can be forced to stay home when it gets too hot instead.
I recall that being a recommendation when doing the keto diet. That and coconut cream in coffee.
Bit of an acquired taste I think.
For me, Oat is probably the first in line after dairy as far as flavour goes. Soy and almond I find can vary wildly depending on brand used. Some are OK.
If black espresso is off the table for you, give cold brew a try. In summer I always have some in the fridge. Goes well straight, with milk and even with soda water.
Dear peasants who don't own real estate,
fuck you, got mine.
Sincerely, Politicians
I wonder if the tasks pane has been added to the new outlook yet. Last time I tried it at work it was no where to be found. I like having my flagged items next to my inbox.
I've been using this open board fork: https://github.com/erkserkserks/openboard
Mainly because it comes with trace/swipe type input. Is there anything else out there that's better and more up to date? Probably not up to modifying the above to include libraries.
I was a long term Swype user prior to getting a pixel 7, which it can't be installed on due to it being 32bit. I've not found anything else FOSS or otherwise that comes close to being as good as Swype's trace predictions. Sadly Microsoft bought the company that made Swype so the odds are it's never going to see the light of day again. They have their shitty Swiftkey app instead.
There is further evidence Australia's ongoing housing crisis is deepening as the national vacancy rate hits a record low of 0.7 per cent, according to Domain.
I'm sure if we keep voting for the Libor and Laberal parties they will eventually fix it right?
You should have been born to wealthy parents instead of trying to pull your self up by your own boot straps.
We have been in a per capita recession for ages. The govt avoids a technical recession with mass immigration.
Think of "the economy" as "rich people's yachts" next time you hear a politician or bobble headed reporter talking about something (like immigration) being good for the economy.

Can't quite remember. I seem to recall WFH becoming important, and not being able to travel interstate or overseas easily. Also house prices dipped for a bit until the govt over corrected with a shower of money.
What was it that caused all that again?
Whatever today's economic data shows about how close Australia is to recession the truth is we are already experiencing the biggest dive in living standards in half a century — and have been for two years, writes Peter Martin.
The WA government once offered train holidays around the state with sleeping cars, on-board dining, and a chance to see the sights on 'reso tours'.
Workers shoulder the burden of paying for the things we want: schools, hospitals and a civil, safe society. But as our population ages and more people need support, can income tax continue to fund our needs?
Looks like we are finally working towards a fuel efficiency standard.
Will be interesting to see what the final details are, especially the year at which manufacturers have to hit zero emissions, and if it's going to be a linear change to get there or otherwise.
No doubt legacy parts of the industry will be busy lobbying for their own interests instead of the planet's.
A council plan to protect Perth's trees will be rejected by WA Planning Minister John Carey despite overwhelming community support, the ABC understands.
One solution to the housing crisis has been raised over and over again for years: building more social and affordable housing. But it doesn't seem to have happened yet.
Researchers call for new wood heaters to be banned from urban areas and for existing ones to be phased out after their study shows their smoke may be killing up to 63 people a year in the ACT alone.
Property prices have risen faster than rents for all but three of the past 11 years, and it's indicative of Australia's chief economic malaise.
Penalties for foreign investors who leave homes vacant will face a sixfold increase, in a measure the federal government says will free up more housing stock.
If we drop the antagonism between younger Australians and Boomers, will it help to fixing our housing crisis, asks Gareth Hutchens.
Not sure I agree with the title that no one can ”escape” it. I think the wealth hoarding class does very nicely out of everyone else's misery. Perhaps if things don't turn around their grand children might go from owning the whole country to facing a guillotine.
More likely once there is a large enough percentage of people who will have no hope of owning, then they will start to have an effect at the polling booth.
The Reserve Bank reveals the reasoning behind its latest interest rate rise and whether it is likely to have to lift them again.
Economists tie them selves in knots trying to justify record immigration:
If you own a business, of course it lowered wages, give us a pat on the back.
If you are a worker, of course it didn't lower wages, give us a pat on the back.
One thing that isn't getting mixed messages is what the increased demand has done to the housing market. Albo would like all the renters to starve harder for the economy please.
Recently made the switch to Graphene and am trying to get my main email away from outlook.com
What's everyone using for calendar event invites?
I have a mixture of some events that only I need to see, but others I send and receive invites to people using gmail, outlook etc.
Currently trying out free Proton, but it's a bit limited. For example if I make a recurring event there seems to be no way to edit or remove a single recurrence. Also would like to be able to use say simple calendar widgets with it. Edit, also discovered that invites sent from gmail to proton simply don't arrive.
Happy for a paid service provided I'm not treated as a product for advertisers to market to.
Perth has the worst tree canopy cover of any Australian capital, with the state government putting it as low as 16 per cent coverage.
Apparantly there is no way to influence demand for housing.
Mining billionaires might have made the state wealthy, but it’s developers’ decades of wheeling and dealing that continue to have the most impact on daily life.
