There’s only a small set of spreadsheets in my work life that need multiuser access, most of those are admin shit.

There are more in my home life, planning holidays, household tracking.

Buy most things at home and work have no need to be shared during update

Musk is a shit, but lying doesn’t help

22% is awfully close to the 20% you can expect to answer a survey “wrong” to spite the person with the temerity to survey them

He seems to have reduced the popularity of the far right in the rest of the world

Internet users everywhere are paying more attention to where their stuff comes from as the propaganda leaks. I’m seeing more Made in Australia stickers on stuff than I have for decades

On the reasonable side of the balance sheet, Australia is moving so fast installing big batteries that CATL has named one of their products after the Australian company they’re supplying batteries to

Also we just had a study published and publicised for efficient pumped hydro locations near each population centre (though one state missed it and approved development of a pair of pumped hydro reservoirs in a location the study ranked poorly, leading to further advertising of the study and how its chosen site near the approved one would have been a tenth the cost)

Rooftop solar is so popular that grid demand in one of our two large cities was at an all time low recently

All in all it’s pretty promising here

Though just like America, a change in the party in charge can wreck a lot of the progress

Are you sure you can’t make a high entropy memorable password?

My scheme pulls four words at random from a large corpus

Then the ship that Russia paid to drag an anchor across it will claim the anchor restraint systems failed and it totally wasn’t deliberate, and will be let off

KeePass doesn’t rely on any third party, and if you choose to use a third party file storage to hold your password vault, it’s encrypted

My workplace has finally gone to passphrases and 1 year password life, which is nice as it’s a password I often need to type, so I’d rather 20 easy to type and memorise chars than 16 random

10C* charging isn’t all that exceptional

But also charging a Tesla on a road trip takes ~15 minutes each couple of hundred kilometres, that’s often not enough time to get a coffee and use a toilet; it’s never long enough to get a meal.

On a thousand kilometre trip recently for a lunch break my partner would find a place to get lunch and order for themself and me while I waited in the car for it to become charged enough. I would generally get to the lunch place before food was served

Faster isn’t much use until it’s fast like filling a petrol tank

*10 times capacity – Charging rate 10 times faster in kilowatts than the battery capacity in kilowatt-hours

Since pixel phones started using one volume button + power for reboot and the other volume button + power for screenshot, I have so many random, useless screenshots

I monthly go into the gallery and delete all the screenshots to keep on top of them

holding the bag

And not doing shit that tanks the stock price and sales.

Ok, so list the ones I can buy today

Thanks. It’s been decades since my last bit of mainstream Catholic education

I always wondered about how that monument in Civilisations games lets you change government type with no turns lost to riots

I guess we get to see if that works IRL

If you’re a complex machine whose action could be perfectly predicted (with full knowledge of everything you ever experienced) it’s still reasonable to punish you for breaking rules - the risk of punishment goes into your programming as part of the (deterministic) calculation of what action to take

I reckon we are so incredibly complex, are integrating so much information that from inside it’s hard to see if you’re deciding or selecting by rule your preferred path given what you know

You can call the complexity free will, we’re all so different having had different parents, different childhood experiences, different education, different opportunities so each has their own solution that rises to the top in any situation

But also brain scans have demonstrated that for minor stuff (like raising your hand) action precedes “deciding” to take the action.

I don’t think believing in fate (or a plan) is strongly correlated with atheism
