Are heritage advocates & consultants the original slop shippers ?

[Adam Ford - Special Envoy for Heritage @bloodiedwombat]

There are a set of very specific criteria for a National Heritage listing, the bar is set very high for a National listing, and it doesn't encompass being able to list a place merely because there is a development proposal.

You'd think you'd actually be telling the truth to people in order to claim authority on this topic.

[David ⚡⚛⚡ @dbph]

@bloodiedwombat @SydneyYIMBY is a helpful map from the thread which you seem to have missed. Are you able to explain why the proposed national heritage bounds for the proposed listing covers the warehouse property - is that normal ?

[David ⚡⚛⚡ @dbph]

@bloodiedwombat @SydneyYIMBY Hey mate @bloodiedwombat have you looked at the details? Because to me it looks like you are replying without looking into the details.

@retrobike_c16 That would be teams no?

[GrapheneOS @GrapheneOS]

Hyundai and Kia added official GrapheneOS support to their apps months before Volkswagen banned GrapheneOS:

https://t.co/k0egvK5SNw

Pressure from Volkswagen customers on them can achieve the same thing. There's no legitimate reason to ban GrapheneOS so they'll undo it with pressure.

Leave a 1 star review for Volkswagen's apps on the Play Store asking them to stop banning GrapheneOS. Explain it's a far more secure operating system and fully possible for them to verify the hardware, OS and their app on it if they insist on doing it. It's far more secure than anything they allow.

Google has misled companies about what the Play Integrity API provides. It doesn't genuinely enforce having a secure device or legitimate app, it only pretends to. It leaves huge security holes open. It enforces Google's business interests and bans having a reasonably secure device with GrapheneOS.

Most companies are unlikely to stop using the Play Integrity API but most are willing to start permitting GrapheneOS via hardware attestation with enough pressure.

In addition to every user of their app on GrapheneOS leaving a 1 star review on the Play Store, multiple other steps can be taken too.

Every GrapheneOS user with one of their cars using the app should file a customer support request. Keep answering them and countering the template responses. Escalate the request higher up. Tell them you want money back for the vehicle due to reduced functionality after the fact and insist on it.

They can trivially stop enforcing the anti-security and anti-competitive Play Integrity API or easily add hardware-based verification of GrapheneOS. Link to https://t.co/KC7xS0Nobe in the customer support request, but don't add any links to Play Store reviews to avoid filtering.

A bunch of apps have added explicit support for GrapheneOS due to pressure from our users. Our userbase is rapidly growing and we'll gain the ability to apply massive pressure to companies doing this. We plan to ship a feature for our Info app for people to opt-in to getting asked for their help.

GrapheneOS is production quality OS from a non-profit paying around 15 people to work on it. It's far more secure than anything supported by the Play Integrity API. We have an official partnership with Motorola and we'll have more. Just counter template responses and insist on compensation or a fix.

The question is: does enough housing get built in Sydney, ever, if this one falls below the threshold of social acceptability.

I don’t think it does! Taking 4 years umming and ahhing over stuff like this is crazy.

The Heritage Council are trying to list this blighted industrial site in Harris Park, 5 mins walk from a new light rail stop, because somebody wants to build 320 units on it with 50% affordable housing 🧵

@retrobike_c16 But why ?

[Eddie Redcliffe @fictillius]

How depressing “Dropping the weekly cap on tolls temporarily from $60 to $50 from July 6 will be one of the centrepieces focused on transport in the budget on Tuesday.”

4 years.
No new major public transport projects.
The centrepiece is a private car subsidy to Transurban

It's a shame the Steam Machine has to launch at a time when components are so expensive. I hope they stick with it until hardware prices renormalize, because this is a device I want to see become mainstream.

More great open-source/Linux work by Valve. RTI will be useful initially for continuing to optimize the @AMDRadeon RT performance for Linux / Steam Play.
