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.

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.

Will be interesting to see if that changes when the millennial’s boomer parents die and pass on the wealth. I think it will further divide the have and have nots with the wealth concentrating in fewer hands.

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.

Even a broken clock is right at least once a day.

Pipepipe is still working, as long as you are not logged in, and obviously aren’t trying to watch age verification gated content.

For how long though who knows.

Yes have noticed more rage bait. Also more and more culture wars in comments. Still not anywhere near as bad as reddit.

Maybe I’m just getting old, but the idea of “verifying” my real identity to a faceless website or mobile app is abhorrent.

I guess it doesn’t help that governments in some countries (UK, Australia that I know of) are encouraging this bullshit with Trojan horse laws claiming to protect children from adult websites / social media.

Can’t help but think there is also an element of pot meet kettle here, when users of an app designed to dox and slander people without their knowledge are now the ones getting doxxed themselves.

We have pretty much the same policies as the USA when it comes to digital rights, including border force being able to search your devices upon entry.

I tried this then it wanted me to do a verification video of my face.

Having to manually share ICS was a bridge too far for me. Especially if event details get updated.
