wrote a little blog post about some alternatives to Tesla electric cars as the Australian market is way more competitive than the US market thanks to Chinese EVs not having any tariffs here

just a quiet heads up - if anyone wants to buy a very nice EV off me, 2019 Nissan LEAF and/or 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 Dynamiq - let me know, I think I have financially over extended myself and one, cheaper EV makes more sense for this household

It's a tiny thing, but having this "Image Creation Tools Are Here" advertisment in the settings app, even though I've disabled Apple Intelligence, is so tacky and desperate for Apple.

might have to give up the apple watch so I can wear this replicate of the apollo guidance computer instead

@NanoRaptor you wouldn't happen to know where I could find a super high-res or an SVG/vector of the old Apple logo would you? :)

@NanoRaptor no rush at all! it's friday arvo

@NanoRaptor thank you!! I need to learn how to upscale some simple raster images into vectors one day

@NanoRaptor those would be so cool to upload to the internet archive

There should be an "aussieflix" or something that has australian feature films on it and nothing else.

Screen Australia should operate it and make it a condition of funding that at some point (maybe a few years later, once all the commercial juice has been squeezed out of the initial release) all films it or the state film commissions fund have to be archived there permanently, without DRM.

I also want to be thin without exercising or changing my diet and a million dollars without having to work for it.
