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!
Oh, I agree. I don't think it's a particularly useful reference page -- more of a biased agglomeration on a substrate of preconceived opinion, but the initial pile-on of downvotes without comments felt a bit like the usual Mozilla-fanaticism.
I tend to upvote posts not because I agree with them, but because I'm interested in people's responses to the ideas within them.
So many downvotes..
I'm only about 10% in (and just skimming), and it's a rant but it's coherent and well-reasoned.
Starts off as a dive into Mozilla's rank hypocrisy and doublespeak around privacy.

What are your tips on glasses? I choose standard uncoated lenses nowdays after finding that anti-reflective/anti-scratch coatings often scratched easily or had an optically-rippled surface, but maybe things have improved?
The footwear, or the logic gate arrangement?
If that's the main problem then that's easy to solve! Simply use a free public xmpp server.
I mention the self- and paid-hosting options because businesses tend to like having a sevice agreement backed by a contract, and may have additional specialised requirements not provided by free services (xmpp or otherwise).
XMPP. A business can self-host, there are public servers, or there are many businesses which offer customised xmpp hosting as a service.
I can be federated with other xmpp servers or be a locked-down work-only service, or federate with chosen other servers (such as a client company's xmpp servers).

Need some kind of fake power-down mode baked into the OS, which locks encrypted storage and switches on an unresponsive black screen tracking mode.
Some 4G phones don't support 4G calling correctly or with all networks.
Check whether your phone actually uses 4G (VoLTE) for calls -- to sort-of test this, make a call while connected to mobile data and note whether the signal meter's 4G indication drops to 3G(H+/HSPA) or something during the call.
A more insidious version of this issue is that some phones do VoLTE just fine, but only use 3G for 000 calls.
Some phones only support VoLTE with some networks. There's a chance that an appropriate firmware upgrade could add support for some network/device combos.
Raymond and Wendy Dibb saw a chance to make money out of a small rural property. They were not planning on a $2.2 billion highway barrelling through their plans.
Tip of the iceberg when it comes to examining the corruption of land ownership in Australia. It's hardly talked about. The linked article doesn't even talk about it.
The public as a whole (and traditional owners) should be the only financial beneficiaries of rezoning.
I suspect private maximisation of rezoning profits is the reason behind why urban developments here are almost universally that awful single-story no-greenspace roof-to-roof packed suburban hellscape.
Developers are building half-width streets in Western Sydney due to current planning laws, as local councils and the state government blame each other over the issues the narrow roads are creating for residents.
More than 100 lawyers endorsed the referral, which points to the military, intelligence, and rhetorical support Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has provided to the Israeli government.

Record demand from India sharply increased Airbus orders in June to leave the European planemaker with 1,044 net orders in the first half of the year, data showed on Friday.
Meanwhile India's incredible train network suffers continuing decades of neglect resulting in poor performance and tragic rail disasters.

So, this is interesting. I wanted to find that essay by @dessalines@lemmy.ml outlining the many issues of Signal and suggested alternatives, but DuckDuckGo had nothing for me. Not on the first page, not on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th page.
I thought maybe I just imagined the title, but sure enough, on searching lemmy posts, it was right there. Then I thought "hang on, there's hardly a mention let alone criticism of signal on any page of those search results!".
Hmm.. the wording might be a bit ambiguous, but let's compare:
- DuckDuckGo "why not signal" - NOTHING
- Google "why not signal"
- Plenty of results! Dessaline's essay is first up, followed by a plethora of discussions about the essay on HN, Reddit, lemmys, mastodons, and more. Not evil! ..this time.
- DuckDuckGo "why not signal" dessalines
- Okay, so DDG has indexed it just fine. Maybe dessalines is "downranked" à la RT.com?
- DuckDuckGo "why not market socialism"
- Nope, finds one of dessalines' socialism essays just fine, half way down the page.
All of the following except Gigablast returned a healthy list of results including the original essay:
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.
