Most people wont even notice. My non techy friends love their new Pixel phones and all the AI assistance.

I got a plain black case without a window. I used to have Razer KB+Mouse but after a deathadder and viper died I’m trying a logitech mouse, the matched RGB was nice at first but I lost interest in it.

Battlefront 2 : cheaters, and small player base in Australia.

Warsow : never took off in Australia, not enough players.

Overwatch : role queue.

Not equivalent, but Lindybeige makes fun content about medieval times.

I block a lot of the “theme” posters.

Australian xiellenial here, 12 years ago I taught at tafe and I reckon about half the class was on gambling apps. I was shocked as none of my peers use them AFAIK.

I’m in my 40s and daily a spoon I was given around my birth.

Back in the 90s phones used Windows CE, which appropriately abbreviated to WinCE. Fuck that OS, worse than Vista/ME.

Where do you place “be kind to each other” on the propaganda scale?

Interrupted garden paths. Like stepping stones in lawn. Just put a continual path. Stepping stones are terrible for access and maintenance. Just grass or just paving would be preferable.

Nah dude. You gotta respect your girlfriends wishes on this. Maybe consider getting a place when she’s 18 so she can get away? Will she be moving for university?

If her plan is to keep living with her family and never revealing you, there’s no outcome to that path. But if she is looking to move or study or whatever, you might see a future for the relationship.

Talk to her about the future and where this is going.

If you go back on your son receiving this gift, it’ll be a dick of a dad move. Like some people have mentioned your best bet is probably to have a discussion about wealth and ethics with your son as well as letting him know your concerns. Like some people say, it’s a lot of money for YOU, for these people it’s not.

You gotta shoot your shot and then be prepared to walk away if they’re not interested. It’s as simple as that. I’ve ended a few friendships with women I’ve developed a crush on as once I had a crush, they weren’t really friendships anymore.

You shouldn’t cut him off on behalf of your mother. Maybe I’m projecting here because I’ve got a shitty dad, but I reckon your dad’ll give you a reason of your own to cut him off soon enough. He’s starting a new family with the affair partner and doesn’t have time for you? The new affair partner doesn’t like that you call her the “cheating slag” on your weekends with dad. Really there are plenty of reasons likely to pop up, no need to use your mothers excuse.

Start going out in the garden at night and making wolf noises. This sounds like an untreated mental health issue. If no one (council, cops, ambulance) is going to respond to the current levels, try to increase them. Consider calling in a welfare check rather than a noise complaint.

Fair dinkum? Strewth mate, I’d be gutted if I lost mi onloine privacy.

I use samba (file sharing) and vlc.

Fwiw, I’ve been enjoying qwant for a few months now.

Landfill mining.
