They probably saw how well going hard against asylum seekers worked for the Australian Labor Party. Without that as a platform, the conservative parties basically had little to offer voters, and subsequently imploded.

Except all those times where you learnt how to do something when you set it up years ago, and haven't touched it since because it just bloody works. Then when you need to upgrade to a new machine you have to learn it all again.

Been using Linux for thirty years and it still happens.

 

After seeing Star Trek: The Motion Picture set to the excellent Tron: Legacy soundtrack by Daft Punk, my wife suggested that it might be worth doing the same with 2001:a space odyssey.

No, we had the Poms until WW2, now we have the yanks. Anyone that believes we've ever truly 'stood alone' is clearly deluded. Perhaps we might one day, but that would take a different sort of leadership. Likely the sort that most of us would consider objectionable.

Most illegal immigrants are poms that have overstayed their working-holiday visa.

I do indeed have the mind of an artist. I keep it in a small jar under my bed.

If you're using WordPress, the activitypub plugin does this also. It's good to have choices.

I've been having issues with Piefed.Social for last day or so (before the update was announced). I even submitted an issue on GitHub. It seems to have fixed itself now though.

Sadly, the first thing the defending lawyers will point out is where were the parents in all this? Why was he able to turn off the parental controls, and why didn't the parents notice?
