"Having carefully considered all these matters, we are unanimously of the opinion that the evidence was sufficiently cogent to support the findings that the appellant murdered four Afghan men and to the extent that we have discerned error in the reasons of the primary judge, the errors were inconsequential," an executive summary from the court said.

LoL, blue shirt has no persistence. Anger and giving up gets you nowhere.
XKCD #349 - "Success": [Four full-width panels arranged vertically, each with a label for number of hours elapsed, with a title above the stack of panels.];    Title: As a project wears on, standards for success slip lower and lower.;    [Megan is standing behind Cueball, watching him as he sits at a desk working on a desktop computer on the desk.];    Label: 0 hours;    Cueball: Okay, I should be able to dual-boot BSD soon.;    [Cueball is on the floor fiddling with the open tower in front of him. Megan is not shown in the panel, but may be off-panel unless Cueball is talking to himself.];    Label: 6 hours;    Cueball: I'll be happy if I can get the system working like it was when I started.;    [Cueball is standing in front of the computer, which now has a laptop plugged into the tower. Megan is still not shown in the panel, but may be off-panel again.];    Label: 10 hours;    Cueball: Well, the desktop's a lost cause, but I think I can fix the problems the laptop's developed.;    [Cueball and Megan are swimming in the sea; an island and a beach can be seen in the distance.];    Label: 24 hours;    Cueball: If we're lucky, the sharks will stay away until we reach shallow water.;    Megan: If we make it back alive, you're never upgrading anything again.

Title text:40% of OpenBSD installs lead to shark attacks. It's their only standing security issue.

Yet another moment since Labor's re-election where I think "Ooh, Albo's going mask-off!".

Please let's have minority governments, our electoral and political system is ideal for it!

Same. Otherwise it's dnscrypt on the router that's gone wonky.

Excerpt from the communiqué:

[...] Specifically, this Communiqué analyses Australian government policy and the actions of individual members of the Australian Parliament to show that the Australian government and its most senior officials have both failed to prevent or respond to the genocide committed by Israel against Palestinians in Gaza and been complicit in the carrying out of this genocide in a manner which falls squarely within Article 25 (3)(c) and/or (d) of the Rome Statute of the ICC. The evidence compiled herein amounts to a reasonable basis for the OTP to conduct an investigation into such conduct of Australian nationals, and to seek the authorisation of the Pre-Trial Chamber for the same, alternatively, to consider the contents of this Communiqué in the context of the OTP’s ongoing investigation into the Situation in the State of Palestine.

Following 7 October 2023, when Palestinian militant groups led by Hamas attacked Israeli settlements and military installations, killing 1,200 Israeli civilians and military personnel while capturing over 250 individuals, Israel launched a devastatingly violent campaign against Palestinians in Gaza. Over 27,000 Palestinians have since been killed, and more than 1.7 million people in Gaza have been internally displaced. The Gaza coastal strip has been blockaded by the Israeli military, leading to food scarcity, sanitation concerns, the spread of communicable diseases, and widespread despair. Communications have regularly been cut, and the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) have instituted a devastating bombing campaign that has almost completely destroyed Gaza’s residential stock, places of worship, food outlets, cultural institutions, and educational facilities. Concurrently with this material destruction, officials of the Israeli government and military have increasingly voiced their intention to “wipe out” Palestinians living in Gaza and have explicitly employed genocidal rhetoric consistently and publicly. As this Communiqué highlights, a wide range of respected scholarly and legal sources have determined that such circumstances amount to genocide.

Since 7 October 2023, the Australian government and individual government Ministers and political figures, such as Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Foreign Minister Penny Wong, Defence Minister Richard Marles, and Opposition Leader Peter Dutton, have provided explicit political, rhetorical, moral, military, and material support for Israel’s genocidal attack, despite their indisputable knowledge of the extent of the violent attacks. These actors have sought to provide political cover for Israel in international forums, justifying Israel’s bombing campaign as a legitimate right to self-defence that it does not, in fact, enjoy, and refusing to take any action that may positively contribute to stopping the genocidal campaign in Gaza. The Australian government, and its individual members, has, moreover, taken actions that further aggravate the ongoing genocide in Palestine through its cessation of funding for vital aid and humanitarian support. [...]

The rest of the document makes for a well-referenced timeline on the actions by various Australian political figures in relation the the recent Israel-Palestine conflict.

AUR has just as much ability to fuck you over as piping curl to sh as an installation method.

Check your PKGBUILDs every single time and make sure you (still!) trust whatever repos it's pulling the source/binaries from.

All around Vic, too. They generally don't even put in a bike lane, just say "use the emergency lane". Here's a sequence of images for one on the freeway in to Melbourne from Ballarat, starting from the onramp:

Onramp with sign declaring bicycles permitted on this freeway

Further along the onramp, sign saying to form 1 lane

also on the onramp, yellow diamond sign with bicycle symbol

sign beside the now-merging lane directing cyclists to ride on the shoulder

sign at the end of the merge, 110 speed limit.

This whole stretch of freeway is 110 km/h (70mph). There are skid marks where vehicles have bailed out of a failing 110km/h merge.

The shoulder is the emergency lane. It's where drivers pull over into if there's an unavoidable hazard ahead or their brakes are failing or something.

Does anyone know what this thing is? Some kind of decentralized, open source, anti-establishment, etc platform aiming to be an alternative to twitter, but we plebs aren't allowed to see or participate in the development process or even see any source repositories yet.

To me there's a bunch of red flags, but I can't put my finger on what I reckon they're flagging. It's that combo of roll-your-own-crypto and promises of decentralization and secret-open-source-development-model all tied together with node.js and blockchain.

No mention of other decentralization efforts, their envisaged place/relationship with the fediverse, ActivityPub, Mastodon, possibility of extending their new blockchain protocol ideas with other platforms. Nothing even about how they're better than the fediverse or whatever.

They were banned from twitter tho so they "must be legit"? The slides on the "tech" page mostly have this "COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE - NOT FOR UNAUTHORISED USE OR DISSEMINATION" watermarks, which is pretty weird.
