Last Notes npub10mraxcat5wdf37gy8n752p0pw04c85cm568pgnfn6u32nrvx3slqeyjkv5 erici It's funny, I joined the #wikipedia-en-help #IRC channel on #Libera just to lurk and read other people's questions. Someone asked me something, I didn't respond, and then I got banned! Oh, well. #liberachat npub10mraxcat5wdf37gy8n752p0pw04c85cm568pgnfn6u32nrvx3slqeyjkv5 erici Driving around in the western suburbs of Melbourne today, like Wyndham Vale, I saw many One Nation corflutes, seemingly more than other parties. Not that that is necessarily an indication of popularity, but it's not something I've ever noticed before. I feel it doesn't bode well.

This won’t end well npub10mraxcat5wdf37gy8n752p0pw04c85cm568pgnfn6u32nrvx3slqeyjkv5 erici I stopped here for morning tea yesterday and it was very pleasant. npub10mraxcat5wdf37gy8n752p0pw04c85cm568pgnfn6u32nrvx3slqeyjkv5 erici Oh ChatGPT, make me a picture of Pauline Hanson, David Shoebridge and Vladimir Putin walking through the ruined streets of Kyiv hand in hand, looking lovingly into each other's eyes with the flag of the Russian Federation fluttering overhead. #auspol npub10mraxcat5wdf37gy8n752p0pw04c85cm568pgnfn6u32nrvx3slqeyjkv5 erici If anyone from #theforkiverse would like an account on my server, you're welcome to email me [email protected] npub10mraxcat5wdf37gy8n752p0pw04c85cm568pgnfn6u32nrvx3slqeyjkv5 erici Food is good and cheap at this Banh Mi shop in St Albans #Melbourne and in fine weather there is a lively group of people drinking coffee outside. They seem to sell a lot of Vietnamese coffee so this might be a good place to buy it if you like it (I just like normal and boring flat white). npub10mraxcat5wdf37gy8n752p0pw04c85cm568pgnfn6u32nrvx3slqeyjkv5 erici It felt peaceful seeing oldies in the suburbs out in western #Melbourne feeding bread to pidgeons at the crack of dawn this morning. Even though I'm not particularly fond of pidgeons myself and I mainly watch them being eaten by the Collins Street Falcons. https://youtu.be/oibsohQ14cY npub10mraxcat5wdf37gy8n752p0pw04c85cm568pgnfn6u32nrvx3slqeyjkv5 erici 13 year old arsonist recruited via Whatsapp. Thanks, Zuck! Yet more reasons to not give your children smartphones! Giving a child a basic phone rather than a smartphone removes one means by which organised criminals can recruit and direct them! #auspol npub10mraxcat5wdf37gy8n752p0pw04c85cm568pgnfn6u32nrvx3slqeyjkv5 erici The Music Show: John Coltrane npub10mraxcat5wdf37gy8n752p0pw04c85cm568pgnfn6u32nrvx3slqeyjkv5 erici Great article about segregation in New York schools. Also highly relevant to Australia. https://archive.is/7URN9 npub10mraxcat5wdf37gy8n752p0pw04c85cm568pgnfn6u32nrvx3slqeyjkv5 erici I can never decide whether I should promote Delta Chat, XMPP or Matrix to my non-techy friends. I already got my mum to use XMPP but it did not go entirely smoothly. Delta chat seems to be the one that "just works" the best on Android, but back when I had an iPhone it wouldn't always receive the message instantly when the phone was asleep or whatever. npub10mraxcat5wdf37gy8n752p0pw04c85cm568pgnfn6u32nrvx3slqeyjkv5 erici I just heard Trump on the news saying that he was "winning tremendously" and "massive amounts of oil" were going through the Straight of Hormuz.

My thoughts are:[email protected] which is an email address specifically used for reporting vulnerabilities! I heard people on the radio talking incredulously, as if e-mail is an informal and unserious method of communication. Many people seem to have this attitude, like if I want to tell someone something important, I have to use Facebook Messenger or write them a SMS and if I write them an email I must expect to be ignored.
