There might be some third-party version of Android you could put onto it that'd keep you more up to date? I'm not really sure, as I've never had a phone last that long with a usable battery, so I've never tried.

Seems like your phone is very out of date. You should probably consider upgrading, for security if nothing else. (As in, if your phone is old enough to show the wrong message here, it's probably also not receiving mainline security updates. A correlation, not a causation.)

Up-to-date devices showed "Critical AusAlert".

I made a post from my AZ account in !vamp_tm@ttrpg.network and left a comment under it.

The post seems to have federated fine.

But the comment did not.

Along with my previous two posts about federation issues with quokk.au, the common factor seems to be AZ, so I suspect that is where the issues stem from.

As reported previously, posts from Quokkau users on AZ communities weren't being federated so AZ and broader fediverse users could see them, but it was at least possible to manually retrieve them.

But with my latest post I was unable to even find the community I wanted to post it to, and after I created it on my AZ account, I have not been able to retrieve it on Quokkau.

I'm honestly not sure which side has the fault here or what fix would be necessary.

I fucking hate the way Facebook changed how the site works so that clicking on an image no longer puts it in your browser history. Earlier today I saw a post where the swimmer whose track was shown in this specific image responded to the comments. It was actually quite an amusing interaction and I wish I could go back and share it here.

But also: the swimmer was a she, not a he.

edit:

wait I found it:

Sophie's link: https://sophie-adaptive-athlete.com/2023/01/18/2023-channel-swim-introduction/

Text transcriptionA series of Facebook comments.

Claire Fletcher: He didn’t make it. Is he ok or he still swimming? [attached is a close-up of the path, showing that it ends some distance away from the coastline]

Sophie Etheridge - Adaptive Athlete: Claire Fletcher I did make it, the GPS transponder was on my pilot boat but the beach was too shallow for it to come in close enough so instead my pilot launched the small RIB boat to accompany me to shore 🙂

Melissa Dupree Haws: Sophie Etheridge - Adaptive Athlete wow! The real swimmer here! I’m so amazed at this feat of athleticism.

Claire Fletcher: Sophie Etheridge - Adaptive Athlete omg the actual swimmer is here AND a she not a he! That’s amazing! What made you want to do it? Was it a personal goal or for charity? Full respect to you by the way, well done!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Robert Mothersole: Sophie Etheridge - Adaptive Athlete so while you're here, if you dont mind me asking.....Why didn't you go straight ?

Sophie Etheridge - Adaptive Athlete: Robert Mothersole I did, in the English Channel the tides move up and down rather than across so you get 6 hours up, then 6 hours down. I swam on a Spring tide, which is a bigger tide to start with and I'm not a super fast swimmer (around 2 min 15 per 100m). So i was pushed up the channel for 6 hours, then down the channel for 6 hours twice...so i was swimming forwards but going sideways, if that makes sense?

Sophie Etheridge - Adaptive Athlete: Claire Fletcher its a long story...it was a personal, life changing goal, it raised money for charity and that money went to training swimming teachers to become specialist disability swimming teachers. If you want to know more then I write a blog and during the year of my channel training I documented my training each month. This is the first one explaining about me/how I got to where I was at the time - https://sophie-adaptive-athlete.com/.../2023-channel.../ If you scroll through my other blog posts I wrote multiple blogs about my actual swim too 🙂

Claire Fletcher: Sophie Etheridge - Adaptive Athlete that’s truly amazing! Well done you! Should be very proud of yourself! I am going to binge read your blogs now with a cuppa lol

Robert Mothersole: Sophie Etheridge - Adaptive Athlete it does make sense, it's a bit different from the local swimming baths, thanks for your answer and congratulations on swimming the Channel. Brilliant achievement 👍

Sophie Etheridge - Adaptive Athlete: Claire Fletcher hope you enjoyed them and your cuppa!

We can blame the religious organisation as much as we want, but the fundamental problem here is payment processors. They should be common carriers. Content-neutral middlemen who facilitate payment to anything that isn't literally unlawful. This is no different to an ISP throttling access to Netflix because they operate their own streaming platform. If the storefront, the developer, and the buyer are all ok with a transaction, there's no good reason for a fourth party to stand in the way of that.

Fake and gay.

No way the engineer corrects the mathematician for using j instead of i.

The CIA wrote a manual on how to do this. It's a bit old and parts of it are outdate for some times of work, but a lot of it is still useful.

  • Misunderstand orders. Ask endless questions or engage in long correspondence about such orders
  • Insist on perfect work in relatively unimportant products
  • Hold conferences when there is more critical work to be done (some might say normal businesses do this as a matter of course...)
  • Bring up irrelevant issues as frequently as possible

Holy shit that's bad. Can't even try to claim the excuse of "a job is a job" and claiming there's no politics to it.

Safe, sure. Efficient? Not even close.

It's far, far more expensive than renewable energy. It also takes far, far longer to build a plant. Too long to meet 2030 targets even if you started building today. And in most western democracies you wouldn't even be able to get anything done by 2040 if you also add in political processes, consultation, and design of the plant.

There's a reason the current biggest proponents of nuclear energy are people and parties who previously were open climate change deniers. Deciding to go to nuclear will give fossil fuel companies maximum time to keep doing their thing. Companies which made their existence on the back of fossil fuels, like mining companies and plant operators also love it, because it doesn't require much of a change from their current business model.

The meme says "IRS", so it's obviously intended to refer to America.

But outside of that context, they'd fucking deserve it for their shitty dark pattern UX trying to export American tipping culture into the civilised world. If people want to tip, they can do it using cash (so the money actually goes to the person you intended it to!). Or at most, there could be a little "tip" button in the corner somewhere that then takes you to a page like this. It shouldn't be shoved in our faces like this.
