  • He isn't destroying the entire federal gov, just the bits that are of no value to him. Very important distinction.

  • I'm mostly relying on samsung being to incompetent to properly violate my privacy :D

    I was using futo keyboard, which is openboard, but they changed its layout and broke it for me. Maybe I'll retry at some point.

  • If you share your approximate location, there might be someone in your area with a harddrive enclousure that they shucked the drive from.

    If your in Australia, I can send you a bunch of Western digital harddrive enclosures for free if you pay shipping.

  • Samsung's keyboard is atrocious. You type out a word, and it auto-corrects it to something dumb, so you backspace and retype it, and it autocorrects it again instead of realising you meant that exact word...

  • That is definitely one way to do it, but it does get messy from the services side, every service needs to support a few thousand jurisdictions. It's also basically the notary system the OP described.

    We have mygovid here on Aus, but there is a lot of distrust given its a "big government" ID system.... It doesn't do age verification though, but it would be suitable for it

  • Care to share one of these apps that don't break privacy?

  • Cloudflare is free, I thought it was free everywhere.

  • So, instead of paying for a game, which provides money to that dev, you will instead pirate that game, you'll steal from them instead, potentially driving them to poverty.

    If you pirate it, you are the bad person. If you don't want to risk it, don't buy it, and don't pirate it either.

  • A cheap cross cut shredder is $65 AUD. That plus second hand does mean there is probably one you can afford.

    Also, mildly unethical, but you could buy one, shred your docs and return it to the big box store.

  • You can pay for documents to be securely destroyed, which would save you from needing to start the fire yourself.

    Also, a good shredder is probably enough. You can always compost the shredded bits for extra security, but it's not really necessary.

  • A moat. Ideally filled with acid or lava. /j

    You could nail some chicken wire to the bottom of fence and bury it as best as possible, should make it difficult to burrow underneath.

  • Mail in voting really needs to be the default. The information provided at the polling booth is inadequate to chose a candidate, and at home you have the entire internet to research who actually represents you best. You can spend as much time as you need to make an actually informed decision.

  • No one vote counts, but the overall numbers do matter (at least in functioning democracies).

    If your preferred party gets in, great, your vote almost directly counted.

    If the party you disliked gets in, sad, but your vote still sends a message that the winner that they have alienating you any the others who didn't vote for them. If they keep doing that to more voters, they risk losing the next election.

    (Again, all requires a functional democracy)

  • Yes, it's a legal requirement in Australia.

    There are fringe groups who vote consistently. If you don't use your vote, those fringe groups become the majority, and you end up with politicians that don't represent the majorities interests.

    There is always a greater evil that can be voted against, even if it means voting for a lesser evil.

  • I don't believe there is a way to transfer posts. You could probably create a bot that scrapes and recreates them, but all the original users would be lost. Best to just start from scratch, nothing here needs to be permanent anyway.

  • You go to the new instance, create an account and create the community.

  • If you try to make the argument that the LLMs are making you a better developer, I would expect pushback.

    I've used LLMs for code generation, and the output has been subpar. Better than a novice, but not what I expect from a junior or higher. It is fast, but correctness and sanity is all over the shop.

    My problem with lots of these posts is that they are from lazy developers, who are skipping the due diligence of actually validating that the code generated is correct.

    If you want to post about how you use the tools, including your processes for ensuring correctness, I would have no objections.
