🇦🇺he/him I'm an IT engineer with an interest in FOSS, home labbing, space (personal, and outer), dev-ops, SRE, re-decentralising the web, and de-GAFM/FANGing my life. Pretty based. Opinions are my own.

Good morning to everyone that isn't a violent, school shooter apologist, red hat, gun loving, transphobic POS.
So this is what Microsoft is up to now? Sad. It is a pathetic company. Maybe the EU and FTC need to look into this kind of stuff. Trust and Microsoft have no relationship. If you care about your privacy, never use anything built by MS. Use Firefox or other browsers. I don’t use edge or windows but it was posted https://twitter.com/ianzelbo/status/1777450065214271750?s=46 here. I am amused by how they are abusing their power. #privacy #security

Microsoft... this is just sad

We should raise the tax free threshold to the poverty line. Because people below the poverty line shouldn't pay tax.

The rich absolutely should be paying the lion's share of tax. We shouldn't be removing tax brackets, rather make them more and more aggressive for those who make egregious sums such as Qantas, Australia Post and NBN Co executives.

As I read yet another "shop lifting is surging" article during this cost of living crisis, I want to say this:

If you can't put food on the table you should be legally and morally justified to steal from your big name price gouging supermarket.

Oh but what if "it'll just increase the cost for all customers". Don't worry about it, they're already paying.

People worry a lot about losing knowledge — about "burned-down libraries".

Comparatively few people seem to worry about what happens if you take a billion books full of auto-generated, often-untrue junk text and *add* them all to the library.

In theory, nothing is lost. In reality, everything is lost, because nothing useful can now be found.

As holiday fundraising campaigns continue, remember that the #SalvationArmy is fundamentally an evangelical anti-LGBTQ organization that campaigns against equal rights while pushing its religious agenda.

Donate elsewhere.

Installing Windows for the first time in a decade for my parents.

Never before have I seen such a trash tier operating system. It doesn't even feel like you own you own computer anymore.

- Trying to convince you to create a online Live account to use your computer.

- Shoving junk you don't need down your throat. Pinning it all to the start menu.

- Begging you not to download a better browser, begging you again when you change all the web defaults by hand.

- Begging you to use OneDrive.

- Claiming that OneDrive and an online account is a "security" feature.

- Even the god damn Photo viewer app is full of junk now. And the most recommended alternative online is malware.

- Doing it all again when you run a software update.

AND trying to charge you $249.99 for a HOME license on the app store for the privilege of not owning your own computer.

Long live Linux, you'll have to pry it from my cold dead hands.

Best line I heard all week "I don't have a face for radio, I have a face for print".

Actually becoming sick to death of hyper partisan comments sections of news sites. So many things are just not even evidence based or even up for debate because it's all just political faction wars.

I definitely think we are in the worst timeline right now.

Comments even read:

"Yeah take that, stupid #tesla owners".

"Take that hippie Greenies"

"Yeah we should be legally allowed to run protestors over."

We've absolutely lost our humanity.
