People with terminal illnesses/in their last days should be allowed to have any drugs they want.

Perth, Australia.

Fuel is expensive, but still available.

Some rural areas have been running out.

Main thing the world is short of is fast moving lead in an orange turds head.

Everything Beyonce has done.

It took me longer than many but I accepted it to.

Never going back to cable slap when exercising. True wireless buds for ever.

SD card would certainly be nice still.

But realistically I’ll likely still buy this as long as it has half decent specs and is IP67+

Ironically I bought a cheap moto g because microslop intune settings where I work do not allow for Graphene os in the attestation check. Only use it when wfh so if I’m away from my desk I don’t miss teams calls and look like I’m doing laundry (which I probably am)

Truth be told I was hoping for Sony because I really like their high end phones from a hard ware point of view.

This better be flagship level specs.

If anything I’ve gone backwards the last couple of years in maturity since turning 40. Probably mid life crisis coming on strong.

Don’t stop with that. I’m early 40s, number of people I know have been diagnosed with fucked up things like cancers.

Happily every after retirements are not in everyone’s future. Live while you can.

By living my best life now while I can.

Collapse, a world war, apocalypse etc? Fuck that I’m out.

I have a mastodon account. Be lucky if I fired it up once a week. That’s a lot more than I ever used twatter/x. That I opened maybe 5 times when it first started. The super short form stuff just not my thing.

Mostly just to look at mastodon followed hashtags of photography. When I first got it I straight away put filters on stuff I wasn’t interested in before figuring out how to look at only followed hashtags.

So I’m forced to use windows at work like the majority of my industry.

The start bar is still a thorn in my side since we switched from 10 to 11.

Standard office set up is 2 x 1920x1200 monitors and a 1920x1080 laptop. Some just leave the laptop shut when docked.

I preferred having it on a stand and using the lap top screen real estate.

In windows 10 I could make a monitor the primary and have a start bar only on the laptop. Not being able to do that in windows 11 is fucking annoying. They also fucked up auto hide start bar, it’s always jumping up for bullshit I don’t care about and not hiding when it should. I gave in and accepted I can’t have those bottom few lines of screen real estate because they are Microsoft’s.

As an engineer I do sometimes get feelings of imposter syndrome. But then I look at what Microsoft did to the start bar in windows 11 and think well at least I didn’t do that.

As an Australian, it’s Irish accents that I struggle with the most.

Scottish I can deal with, probably from watching shows like Still Game and Burnistoun.

Most other UK accents are not to difficult to understand.

One odd thing, I was watching an USA wildlife documentary that was set in South Africa. I noticed they put forced subtitles on when ever the South African’s spoke in English. I found that bizarre as I’ve never had any trouble understanding when South Africans speak English.

Bad Santa

As far as laws regarding digital rights / freedoms go, we have no chance in Australia anyway as the major parties are all against them.

In fact the coalition has an even worse track record than labor.

Not true at all.

Vaping could be cancer fog

Is there a setting that can be enabled at the management end to allow Graphene to pass the device health check?

When my employer rolled out intune I had to get a second device to run their ms apps. This was after them trying to figure out a way to get them to work on Graphene.

Maybe not petty enough, but ISO 8601

Tried ages ago. Meals were OK but quite basic.

Was not impressed with the quality and freshness of fruit and vegetables they supplied. Worse than supermarkets and not even comparable to farmers markets.
