Boost, Jerboa and Racoon. The latter two from F-Droid.

Boost on Android works well. It does for me at least.

The reports I've seen have all indicated those with eaten faces haven't changed their minds.

Cippola:s 5 laws of stupidity.


  1. Always and inevitably, everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.

  2. The probability that a certain person (will) be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.

  3. A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.

  4. Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular, non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places, and under any circumstances, to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake.

  5. A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.

This seems so weird, he asked somone who he thought was the owner if he coukd borrow the car to help a neighbour out, they said yeah, so he did and returned it full of fuel.

Next thing the cops are arresting him for theft ? Turns out the guy that said yeah knew the owner but wasn't the owner ? If all of this is true, wtf didn't the dude who didn't own it say yeah take it ?

My guess, tbis will be dismissed.

Session is an Australian conpany afaik. The entire app reeks of entrapment. Australian laws are all about no privacy for you.

For me Onenote search takes me to the first instance returned in the note I've selected, Joplin does not. So depending on length i have to scroll scroll scroll to find the frst of the search results, with then no ability to click a next button for the next instance.

Their are 3 countries with rare earth minerals China, Australia, and greenland.

What ? Rare earths are everywhere, they are just difficult to extract and toxic as shit to procees, you also always have nuclear waste associated with it that is concentrated in the treatment process.

There's a reason Lynas set up a plant in Malayasia for thier WA mined ores, they would have been unlikely to get a license way back in the day becase of the toxic shit that comes from processing. They've already polluted large parts of the rainforested areas in Malaysia from tailings dam overflows.

Australia's advantage isn't it's massive rare earth windfall, it's that only a few "black fellas" live in or near vast areas that can be mined, so we just ignore them or throw them a few tokens as we rape and pillage the natural environment. Much of the rest of the world has people living on it.

There are all sorts of mineral deposits across Europe for example, look at Rio's large proposed Lithium mine in Serbia and the push back, why ? People... and not just indigenous people no one gives a shit about.

Serbia blocked plans for Europe’s biggest lithium mine – a flagship project of Rio Tinto new chief executive – in a dramatic response to local opposition

While this is undoubtedly true, under the law for example, ignorance is not an excuse, why is it in poltics?

 

Government data shows that just one of the smaller “flagship” projects was completed this year, while the rest have languished in their preparatory stages since at least 2018.

The DPWH also reported that 70 percent of Metro Manila’s “antiquated drainage system” was clogged with rubbish and silt, hampering flood management. It also reported that the country lacks a national flood control master plan, with only 18 scattered plans for major river basins which are “still being currently updated”.

 

The Philippines, which has thousands of islands, dumps the most plastic into the sea. Its Pasig River, which flows into Manila Bay, is "the most (plastic) polluted" in the world.

 

“It’s down to creative accounting,”

The tool.used by most white collar grifters.

 

Theres none so blind as those who don't want to see.

 

Earth will only remain able to provide even a basic standard of living for everyone in the future if economic systems and technologies are dramatically transformed and critical resources are more fairly used, managed and shared

Seems like we're doing the opposite with wider support by voters for the orthdoxy of destruction. Even then I remain sceptical.

 

Hypocrisy, thy name is liberal democracy?

 

It found about 70 per cent of existing homes have building quality problems, while more than two-thirds of homes have an energy rating of three stars or lower.

Australia really just doesn't have the policy instruments or policies in place that one might expect for building performance and housing quality and condition," Dr Daniel said.

So all of these homes were almost effectively reducing their useful life, because it's almost as soon as they're built, they're not up to what we might consider a standard that's fit for purpose," she said.

"In the future, we can imagine that people living in those homes are going to be much more exposed to fluctuations in energy prices because they're over-reliant on heating and cooling.

What a cluster fuck

 

Any thoughts on doing so if you have ?

 

In today's news of a continually deteriorating environment (depressing story before this was more roads being built)

The native bushland on Western Australia's central coast would normally be bursting with springtime blooms but after four years of increasingly dry winters, only a handful of plants are starting to bud.
