- This morning I woke up to find my smart watch account has been reset, meaning my alarms did not go off, and the new app force installed which includes an AI bot you can't disable unless you pay $15/m for app+ My account is now deleted and the watch will go into a box to go flat
- for a "plug-in replacement" that head unit sure was a prick to get working

- Reposted by Cin (they/them)Let's see if our panel on censorship gets censored by the government/lobbyist alliance. NSW government has already made contact with Newcastle Writers Festival board about including Palestinian-Australian author Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah, ABC reports When will the bullying & intimidation stop ?
- Packidge! 😁 #muderbotdiaries
- Can confirm I've dealt with tons more of this crap lately than ever before SPF etc are useless when you add whole slabs of IPs and wildcard DNS in to "just make it work"

- Reposted by Cin (they/them)They should not have invited Herzog to Australia. Now the police are saying they have concerns about how his visit will cause “significant animosity”. The Albanese Government needs to withdraw this invitation now!
- error status: yeah nah
- Reposted by Cin (they/them)This is utterly chilling. This US Alliance looking increasingly like the largest risk to the Australian people.
- Exclusive | The Albanese government is handing access to Australians’ biometric data and ID documents to US agencies like ICE, and not telling anyone. @keanebernard.bsky.social reports.
- Reposted by Cin (they/them)The NSW police commissioner admits that the Herzog visit will cause so much animosity that it could hurt communities. That's one of the criteria for cancelling visas under the character test. Instead, he bans protests. Our democracy means nothing. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...
- Most parents I know with kids requiring NDIS support get judged into oblivion by community parent groups, 'peer-support groups', and other parents from their kids schools. Plus, parents don't need to be doing even more unpaid labour because the government CBF lifting a finger.
- Maybe don't refer to it as a burden??
- If Windows updates could stop removing my Copilot blocks, that'd be great
- Reposted by Cin (they/them)Evil phish. My Medicare card *does need to be replaced* But Medicare mailed me my new card last week - I didn’t have to do anything to get it. Wonder how my Medicare expiry date and phone number got compromised?
- Reposted by Cin (they/them)I dunno how you look at this as anything other than Musk hiding debt inside SpaceX and making the government pay to prop up xAI and Twitter with government space contracts.

- my former ISP have continued to harass me for over 2 years regarding an account I correctly closed before leaving for Germany they have just called again to discuss collection of the devices they own, which was organised by the new resident wonder who else they randomly keep wrong contact info for
- last week I didn't go for my morning rides because it was too hot this morning it was 10 degrees C, but felt like 2
- Implemented the recommended policies months ago that stop Copilot ever being installed on sensitive systems. This month's updates just circumvented them. Again. Ffs MS. WE DON'T WANT THAT SHIT You need to give us a fucking option to exclude it FOREVER
- Reposted by Cin (they/them)“Herzog is not a neutral figure. He has justified collective punishment, denied mass starvation in Gaza, and publicly supported the military violence that has devastated Palestinian life. These facts are on the record. Australia cannot pretend otherwise.” #Auspol #Genocide
- The latest build of Plex for Apple TV can't even keep its shit together from one episode to the next. Somehow jellyfin is currently less infuriating...
- Having lived in my own tiny home, they are: - painfully loud (zero sound insulation) - cold - hot - breezy - leaky - unsuitable for bush fire or flood prone areas - prone to mould and rust
- Our ABC typing out a press release and calling it journalism again. They run this idiotic, “tiny house solution to housing shortage” horse shit every month. Trailer parks for the poors. Before you say it, better than nothing isn’t the policy standard we should settle for. #AusPol
