identical environment.

if I tap out words, then they will appear as i hit each letter. if i use swipe, then i get no preview of the word, the word just appears after i lift off and touch another key.

very annoying, cant live without gesture/swipe typing.

If they can create something similar to Brisbane's south bank it would be really awesome.

Lots of shady trees. Not vast expanses of concrete / pavers and native shrubs, that just does not make for a nice place.

A proper pool plus water playground.

Just keep anyone who has Yagan square and Elizabeth quay on their CV the fuck away from this.

Australian here. Halloween.

Mercs and BMW only. I wonder what the motivation was. Audi fan? Environmental protest? Wealth inequality protest?

Also a gla180 is hardly a luxury car. Gutless little JUHB more like.

Elizabeth quay is sort of the opposite of south bank in that way. Wanky hotels right up to the water.

I too have mild astigmatism. I used glasses for about 4 years before trying contact lenses. Have been using contacts for 10 years now and i much prefer them.

"steal people's land" Sit down Baz, it's just a paid car storage area. It's hardly "the people's land" at present. If anything making it in to a public primary school is more for the people.

The non removable Google search bar was one of the reasons I put Graphene on my pixel.

Ironically it was when the stock android upgrade on my pixel 7 completely bricked my phone (due to the multiple user profiles bug) that I decided to jump in to Graphene head first.

Compared to my experience running random ROMs on Samsungs back in the era of galaxy note 1 to 4, Graphene installer was so easy!

I wonder what their reaction would be if you are running Graphene OS and you gave them the duress PIN.

I fear they will go the other way, that is start locking down the pixels to make replacing their OS more difficult.

Probably overkill but I still run an old x86 office PC I picked up cheap in an auction. Currently running Linux mint + Kodi. Really like the Kore phone app to control it.

We are also a "one paper" state. Guess who owns that media and what pies they have their fingers in.

Straight from the fuckwits page here: https://minister.dcceew.gov.au/bowen/media-releases/joint-media-release-new-vehicle-efficiency-standard-tailored-australia

Recategorising a limited number of 4WDs from passenger car to light commercial vehicle. This acknowledges that some off-road wagons use similar ladder-frame chassis, and need comparable towing capacity above 3 tonnes, to dual cab utes. This includes models such as the Toyota Landcruiser and Nissan Patrol;

Land cruiser and patrol? Oh fuck off. They are primarily used as soccer mum taxis in urban areas.

Apparently Bowen's job title shouldn't be taken as first thought. The "Minister for Climate Change and Energy" actually means the minister for causing further climate change rather than preventing it.

We know the liberal party have been itching to do this for a while now. Scummo mentioned it in the last days before the election.

No doubt it's happening next time the liberal party gets in.

As if it isn't enough that they transfer tax dollars to established real estate owners, they will transfer super balances to them as well.

I'm not sure the families living in tents and cars will agree with you.

Perhaps you aren't aware that we have a housing crisis in Australia.

Record low rental vacancies. Housing is too expensive and scarce for people on median incomes.

The people we import typically have enough money to displace those who don't. Those who don't end up homeless. Our politicians don't give a fuck as many own multiple investment properties.

Excellent news for the economy, and by the economy I mean "rich people's yachts"

Ours didn't get to stay home, but they weren't allowed outside at lunch the other week when it was over 40. Lucky for them the school has air con in all buildings.

Not having all the silly teenager / young adult bits of their lives documented in videos for all to see.

They can be forced to stay home when it gets too hot instead.

I recall that being a recommendation when doing the keto diet. That and coconut cream in coffee.

Bit of an acquired taste I think.

For me, Oat is probably the first in line after dairy as far as flavour goes. Soy and almond I find can vary wildly depending on brand used. Some are OK.

If black espresso is off the table for you, give cold brew a try. In summer I always have some in the fridge. Goes well straight, with milk and even with soda water.

Dear peasants who don't own real estate,

fuck you, got mine.

Sincerely, Politicians

I wonder if the tasks pane has been added to the new outlook yet. Last time I tried it at work it was no where to be found. I like having my flagged items next to my inbox.

I'll try it when i get spare time. Based on post #79 in that XDA thread, it won't work on my pixel 7 as it also won't install 32 bit apps, same as pixel 8.

I run Graphene, but as far as I'm aware it has the same 32bit restriction.

I've been using this open board fork: https://github.com/erkserkserks/openboard

Mainly because it comes with trace/swipe type input. Is there anything else out there that's better and more up to date? Probably not up to modifying the above to include libraries.

I was a long term Swype user prior to getting a pixel 7, which it can't be installed on due to it being 32bit. I've not found anything else FOSS or otherwise that comes close to being as good as Swype's trace predictions. Sadly Microsoft bought the company that made Swype so the odds are it's never going to see the light of day again. They have their shitty Swiftkey app instead.

You should have been born to wealthy parents instead of trying to pull your self up by your own boot straps.

We have been in a per capita recession for ages. The govt avoids a technical recession with mass immigration.

Think of "the economy" as "rich people's yachts" next time you hear a politician or bobble headed reporter talking about something (like immigration) being good for the economy.

Can't quite remember. I seem to recall WFH becoming important, and not being able to travel interstate or overseas easily. Also house prices dipped for a bit until the govt over corrected with a shower of money.

What was it that caused all that again?

Also an old run down house, in 2014 at the peak of the market. Barely managed to refinance a few years later without getting nailed with LMI because the property value had dropped so much. It's really only returned to what I paid for it recently. While I empathise with people who want the real estate market to crash, realise that the people who get fucked in that scenario are those on the bottom rung of the ladder. Not the people sitting up the top.

What I want is probably impossible: static real estate prices and rising wages.

Still if I had done it differently, say bought a newer place and further out, I'd probably have cursed my commute every day instead.

That period during 2020 was the first time in ages I'd felt positive about the economy. Due to the immigration tap being turned off demand in my industry increased and pay and conditions got better.

After Labor decided to open the immigration flood gates, the shoe is obviously on the other foot again as far as employer vs employee relationships go. Pay has flat lined and conditions like WFH are getting wound back. Thank you Labor for living up to your liberal lite™ tag.

Is safe work Australia asleep at the wheel on air quality standards? Or are they gimped by our fossil fuel sponsored politicians I wonder.

The coalition will need to improve their double speak if they are to appeal to both the working class outer suburbanites and their elite business lobby donors. The two groups have polar opposite political wants.

For at least the past 40 years the coalition have waged a vicious class war against anyone not in the top percentiles of wealth. I doubt they are seriously considering changing course there.

Now we have colour in the form of RGB LEDs in everything instead.

Also to be fair, we in Australia are far from being some car free utopia either.

We have heaps of car dependant urban sprawl in our major cities where the vast majority of us live. We are also adding more of this sprawl all the time.

On the plus side most of our state capital cities have got decent heavy rail networks which you can park at stations and ride.

I think that's fairly common for older places.

My experience is similar. Some things were overlooked when we bought. Others just were up for fixing after a few years.

Finding a decent plumber has proved difficult. I've at least found good AC and electrical trades.
