Yeah, I can never quite tell with articles sometimes…
Among many elements of the story that absolutely fail to raise sympathy:
[…] They planned to subdivide their block into 26 lots once the land was rezoned as residential, live on one block and drip-feed two or three others on to the market each year.
…just what we need – a drip-feed of low-density housing.
Yeah nah, that’s not the way. Sure people can get away with it, but it’s really not eliminating the hazards.
There’s a bunch of non-obvious hazards which exist around cutting into containers which have held fuels, including but not limited to:
Methods to reduce the hazard include:
ffs, every time someone from a community group asks me “Can you have a quick look at our basic website, we just need to change <reallySimpleThing>”, and I’m like “sure, i used to do web development, let’s have a look […] FFFFFFUUUUUC…”
“Current AI models cannot forget data they were trained on, even if the data was later removed from the training data set,” Han’s report said.
Bullshit. You delete the entire model and start again.
No worries. The situation I was describing is indeed absurd and defies reasonable expectations.
Ah, that’s good then.
In Australia you really only need a name and date of birth and ID such as a passport or driving license number of the owner. No physical or even photographic proof. Some phone companies send the original sim a notification before moving it, but no response is required and moving the number often only takes 10~30mins.
Banks in Australia commonly use sms codes as 2fa.
A large percentage (20~30%?) of adult Australians have had their ID details leaked in recent years because there are no adequately enforced security requirements or data-retention limits. One of the largest breaches was the second largest mobile phone provider…
As in “Hi PhoneCompany, I’d like a mobile plan with you. Yes, I’d like to bring my old phone number over to the new account.”
Or “Hi PhoneCompanySupport, I’m @thingsiplay and i lost my sim, plz send me a new one. BTW my new address is …”
Ideally it shouldn’t happen, but phone company security is pretty slack sometimes,
Swapping the sim associated with your phone number – from your sim to their sim.
I use the vegemite knife on the butter.
Oh fuck yeah… never had it toasted before! Gotta try that some time.
Same. Otherwise it’s dnscrypt on the router that’s gone wonky.

It’s a talking-head video presentation on a well-known video publishing website.
Given your browser couldn’t show anything useful from that webpage, @kugmo@sh.itjust.works offered a solution: just feed the URL into mpv, which happens to be excellent at playing audio/video from web pages if you also have yt-dlp installed.
