So apparently the Angus Taylor masterplan is to copy-paste Donald Trump and hope Australians don’t notice.
ICE-style deportations, values tests, culture war nonsense… all imported straight from the US bargain bin.
Even Paul Keating is calling it out as the Liberals defaulting to racism and ditching their own history.
Imagine running a 2026 campaign based on recycled 2016 slogans… from another country.
No ideas, no policy, just fear with an American accent.

FMD

Decentralised remote device location and control

I'm trying to use UnifiedPush through Conversations, mostly for the FMD (find my device) app. Also, I switched the url in Conversations to use my prosody server configured with mod_unified_push. This works with the UP example app, but FMD isn't getting any kind of "push url". When I try to switch Conversations back to using up.conversations.im, FMD still doesn't get a push URL. It's looking like the problem is with FMD, but I want to test notifications with some other apps first.
