  • GrapheneOS can help you retake your privacy, right now. | Veronica Explains

  • By used direct from the previous owner, not refurbished via a third party. Refurbished generally means the seller bought it used and is selling it on for a profit, sometimes after repairs which drive the cost up even more.

  • The installation process is extremely simple now. It does everything for you via your web browser, all you have to do is press your volume down, power button or click a button in the browser occasionally. The same applies for other projects like iodéOS; custom ROMs have come a long way in terms of ease of access.

  • Not that you'd really know as the streets are no longer covered in soon-to-be waste.

  • Pauline Hanson issues partial apology for suggesting there are no 'good' Muslims

    Jump

  • Senator Hanson told the ABC on Wednesday that she did not believe there are no "good" Muslims and referenced a non-practising Muslim woman who stood for One Nation.

    She apologised if she "offended anyone out there that doesn't believe in sharia law, or multiple marriages, or wants to bring ISIS brides in, or people from Gaza that believe in a caliphate".

    But she added: "In general, that is what they want — a world caliphate. And I am not going to apologise … I will have my say now before it's too late."

    Senator Hanson then suggested that the government's policies were being unduly influenced by Muslim voters and called for a "far more stringent" vetting process for prospective migrants.

    "People are in fear. We don't know who these people are. You've got 18,000 people on ASIO's watchlist. Doesn't that tell you something?" she said.

    "We've had terrorist attacks in this country, and it's not just about terrorist attacks, it's about our changing way of life."

    Senator Hanson alleged that Australians were not welcome in some suburbs with large Muslim populations, such as Lakemba in Sydney's west.

    That's not an apology. It's not even a "partial apology", she straight up doubled down on her original comments.

  • Google Maps ‘limited view’ now hides reviews, images for signed-out users

  • CoMaps (or any other FOSS navigation app, for that matter) is not a replacement in this context.

  • We won't even get the small satisfaction of these people admitting they were completely wrong about everything because they will be dead and/or irrelevant before that happens. They can literally just make a career out of being a complete fucking moron with no clue about anything and then peace out and leave the rest of us to clean it up.

  • What makes people proud to be Australian? The answer might surprise you

    Jump

  • The topics that Australians least cited as a source of pride included: religion, military, and surprisingly — sport.

    Okay, that one is genuinely surprising.

  • 'No-brainer': Why more young people like Zoe are rethinking their 'Australian Dream'

  • Can anyone remember which 2010s Coalition member it was who once said something along the lines of "just move to the country" in response to concerns over housing affordability?

  • Coles downplays meaning of 'Down Down' price tags and advertising in case against ACCC

    Jump

  • Some additional context not provided in this article is that Woolworrths is being sued for something very similar. In fact, Woolworths was actually the first supermarket to start doing this, with an even shorter cycle, and there was an internal debate within Colss as to whether it should report Woolworths to the authorities. Instead, Coles decided to copy the fake discount strategy. Yet more evidence that these supermarkets are not real competitors and work to maintain their financially beneficial duopoly at all costs.

  • Do migrants feel they belong in Australia? The answer is complicated

    Jump

  • The Scanlon Foundation Research Institute interviewed more than 8,000 migrants from the fastest-growing communities — China, India, Pakistan, Nepal, the Philippines and Iraq — to examine how migrants experience belonging in Australia.

    It would be interesting to see the breakdown by community. Some of those are definitely more established and less targeted and we know that migrant communities tend to be accepted by White Australian society over time, eventually adopting similar discriminatory attitudes towards more recent waves of migrants (see Southern European migrants).

  • Australia’s Social Media Ban Is Isolating Kids With Disabilities—Just Like Critics Warned

    Jump

  • Why do people keep posting Techdirt blog pieces in the Australia community? The guy who writes these pieces is an American who has been fully against regulation since the very beginning. He is just quoting a Guardian Australia article and interspersing his own high modality commentary which adds nothing of value. Why not link the actual article instead?

    In any case, the Guardian article implies that teenagers with disabilities can no longer contact their friends (not true) and that alternative online spaces do not exist (also not true). Just a couple off the top of my head are My Circle and Livewire. Of course, like most fearmongering pieces on the social media ban's "impacts", the Guardian Australia article makes absolutely no attempt to suggest alternatives or even interview someone from one of these organisations. The reporting on this issue has been lacklustre and full of confirmation bias since the very beginning.

  • ‘The whole family is destroyed’: Australia’s inheritance disputes aren’t just increasing – they’re becoming messier

    Jump

  • If siblings are willing to come to that agreement between themselves then I think that's fair enough. I just don't think there should ever be default expectations about who gets more or who was the best child. That kind of thinking demonstrates underlying personality and relationship issues.

  • With their first female leader gone, can the Liberals shake their 'women problem'?

    Jump

  • Not at all. They specifically played it off as a choice between the Coalition and One Nation, I'm saying that's irrelevant because neither will have any power in the coming years.

  • ‘The whole family is destroyed’: Australia’s inheritance disputes aren’t just increasing – they’re becoming messier

    Jump

  • Definitely the latter. Thinking you're getting "paid" is such a bizarre way to approach inheritance, it actually suggests you didn't care about your parents at all. In any case, the other siblings shouldn't have to say "show me the money" because the sibling with an unequal share of the inheritance should immediately be willing to share it regardless of what it said in the will. Keeping everything for yourself because "mummy and daddy said it's only for me" is the way a child's brain operates.

  • ‘The whole family is destroyed’: Australia’s inheritance disputes aren’t just increasing – they’re becoming messier

    Jump

  • That's exactly the type of selfish and greedy attitude I'm referring to. You're not owed anything for being a "good child", you don't earn an inheritance like it's some kind of delayed job bonus. The parent brought all of you into the world without your permission, they should leave an equal amount to all upon leaving it. If people have an issue with that then it says a lot more about their ego and inflated self-worth than anything else.

    Jump

  • I feel like if you have a sibling like the one in the article no amount of planning is going to prevent this situation. Some people are just more greedy and selfish at a base level. Like what kind of person is left an entire house and thinks "yeah, I deserve all of this and my siblings deserve nothing"?
