@lateralcast Ordered in August but Amazon is saying it isn't released until Jan 14th????

It's 2024. Why do Australian bank accounts still not come with a checksum rather than "be careful" warning? Even if it's an optional third field (BSB being the other) until it's universal.

@glengyron @uberpaul Salt the food, not the seasoning

[@[email protected] @DivZero_]

@uberpaul Did exactly that this afternoon. What's your blend?

1 part Cayenne (double for 🌶️)
4 parts Smoked Paprika
5 parts Cumin
2 parts Oregano
2 parts Onion powder
2 parts Garlic powder

@uberpaul I mean yeah, it's literally contempt. I'd vote for you.

I headed to Werribee South to see if I could see the #aurora. The lights were unbelievable. Not in the sky, just the headlights of thousands of other people who thought to do the same.

@Billablog Are you across Bandle? I suspect it's your kind of thing.

I am looking forward to the bus replacement services in Melbourne

@drvyom TAC surcharge on visibility over the bonnet from the driver's seat. If you can't see a five year old a couple of metres in front of the vehicle then you need to pay a massive (massive) insurance surcharge.

@xgigglypuff But it will be invaluable for simple programming by non coders.

For example in Excel: "Get the average of these cells but ignore the way out there big values"

Or Zapier: Add emails about sales enquiries to my Trello. If the email is cancelling and order color it red.

@xgigglypuff Not going to happen any time soon. LLMs will improve and their error rate will decrease, but our job isn't syntax. It's asking questions. It's asking whether tax on an invoice should apply to the total or to each line. It's asking what happens if the user doesn't have an avatar

@DeveloperSteve Not just supermarkets and food. But when you buy a microwave you can take all the packaging back to The Good Guys. Who send anything they didn't add back to F&P. Who are sending raw material packaging back up too.

[@[email protected] @DivZero_]

@DeveloperSteve This has been what I have been suggesting for a while: everyone is responsible for disposing of their own packaging. But all the way up the manufacturing line.

Make that law and watch the massive innovation in packaging.

@uberpaul If this was a car, the story would be about hooning. We wouldn't be listening to a hoon's mum bemoan inadequate government regulation.

It's really sad he's died, but it sounds like he was hooning when it happened.

@flashman @uberpaul People have been modding vehicles since before the Model T. Making such laws is misguided. Just enforce speed limits. Require registration and license for anything over 25km/hr.

@coder_bec I didn't think it was ever legal. They're copyrighted images owned by whoever took them. There is no "fair use" in Australia allowing news reporting to use them. It's just too expensive to sue them for a one off stolen photo.

Huge shoutout to @EssentialVic. I complained about a deceptive telemarketing call. Not only did they respond, but since then they've kept me in the loop regarding telemarketing. Today I got an email to let me know that it was banned from May 1st. This is customer service.

Key learning: don't sue for defamation over an allegation of a rape that you actually committed.

@uberpaul ... and more suburban electric scooter/bike programs please.
