The bendy bendy busses start today on 169. Very fast, seats a bit hard though

Dr. Evil didn't spend 6 years in evil fricking medical school to be put in no professional training

Locking kids up is definitely going to solve the underlying causes of youth crime!

It seems like Liberal parties only have interest in treating the symptoms, but not the disease. Similar to Panadol, Codral and Vick's etc.

I mean there's a reason why big tech love open source, and why they run smear campaigns against the GPL and AGPL. They don't want collaboration on software, they just want free stuff.

You could develop something very useful just as a hobby and next thing you know you're free engineering resources for Amazon. However, I don't think that is the only reason for mental health breakdown. Redox OS isn't a project of commercial interest at the moment (it may be if something crazy happens with Linux or it beats the BSDs), yet it is the source of this article. There are likely other factors at play. I think the least contributors and users of OSS can do is just be nice to people. I had this crazy argument on here over the wording of the Ventoy BLOB issue where people were trying to say that it's acceptable just to insult people you don't even know who are developing a project in the open for you to use for free.

tl;dr: Volunteers should be treated with absolute respect, I think open source is taken too seriously.

Before you complain that this is an old article, read the post body!

I'm a Queenslander and I think the LNP will win, cannot decide on the margin. I'm interested to see if the Greens take some inner Brisbane seats off of Labor, to reflect the last federal election. I live in an area that is largely pro-liberal (Gold Coast) so I doubt my electorate will swing in this election, but it will be interesting.

Labor are running attack ads about abortion and Crisafulli failed to say what his stance was on abortion in the latest debate. He also doesn't want to comment on Nuclear.

It's not Queenslanders, it's decades of education to trust the media. Critical thinking is taught at school (only in History electives though) but seldom applied to politics. Abortion isn't the only thing we might lose to "youth crime", we'll lose democracy and clean energy

New Zealand doesn't exist. They all live in Queensland

Agreed. I've fixed the title.

The chaser have really dropped the ball here by posting a legit news story

My point exactly, I mean it just seems absurd. The question is: what is gained by wearing a skirt?

I think I know the answer...

Even more wtf:

The concern of modesty was also dismissed by Mr Gordon given that the skirt was required to be long enough to touch the ground when kneeling, and the uniform policy permitted girls to wear shorts underneath their skirts.

Students with lesser dress sense as well. When I started uni I discovered a whole new anxiety I never knew I had, about trying to fit in which bothered me for the first couple of years and stopped me from going to classes, at least now I've given up caring. But the school uniform was good for people with social anxiety like me, if I had this bothering me at school it would be a whole different thing.

At the same time I think the school uniform policy in question here is stupid. I'm not female so I can't relate to this but only imagine. It seems like QLD state schools are allowing the female students to wear pants. I will admit that I haven't read the article but sounds like a pretentious private school

Yeah Mario Kart or I call the cops

Are tyres and batteries not the main ones that are harmful to produce?

What materials does an electric car require that an electric bike does not?

All stages of the production process can be electrified or done through biofuels

The only thing which has increased is media coverage of youth crime

Camera makes sense for mapping. But that could surely be done on a raspberry pi

I used to self host Gitea, just private repos for university assignments and other personal projects that I was going to open source one day (I have a real problem with finishing things). Then a big storm hit where I live and the internet was out for 2 weeks (I could still use my phone if I stood in the right spot), over that time I was able to work locally but for when I was out and about I couldn't collaborate on anything because I couldn't access it so I begrudgingly moved to GitHub.

At least with GitHub I get very reliable and fast hosting even if everything I write is being fed to AI. Their search is also amazing.

I do plan, however on getting Forjego set up for private stuff again, because some stuff cannot be made public. When the day comes that I finish something and open source it, I'll probably put it on Codeberg. Hopefully my project will be good enough that people are driven to join Codeberg to get involved.

As for my GitHub account, I won't be able to ditch that so I may continue to fix random bugs and typos I come across. I wouldn't want to impose my beliefs on someone else's project

That's what the founder of ublue said about it in a video I watched the other month. Love the spirit behind that project
