> route all international flights to an airport in remote location (not one in a large city) where absolutely everyone involved in the process be they passangers, crew or quarantine staff must stay for two weeks with zero exceptions.

That's not practical.

You need capacity to house at least 10,000 people in quarantine, then another 1,000 staff to look after them. Ideally you'd also be close to a major hospital and the airlines certainly wouldn't sign up to having their staff made to quarantine after every inbound flight.
I apologize for my lack of clarity. I intended my capitalization of "Freedom" to stand in for a particular philosophy, which I did not clearly explicate.

To restate: I think the COVID lockdowns are a very different case from these electronic restrictions, in scope, duration, reason, and advisability. A critique which cites both as similar examples of government overreach is missing its mark.

There's a screenshot of the Google Buzz "Bullhorn", as we used to call it, which was fun to reminisce about, I'd forgotten about it.

This was a small widget right on www.google.com, you clicked it and could post a tweet (let's call a spade a spade) right from the homepage. I always thought that was a pretty gutsy move.

One of my favorite ideas that was kicked around by Brett Lider during these days was the ability to double like something, and perhaps even let people give as many likes as they wanted! It sounds silly, but if you have a product where you might be able to sneak in a "double like" button I say do it!
Handing out emission rights can also be tied to the CO2 tax, assuming the CO2 tax is properly used to actually remove CO2 from the atmosphere afterwards.

There must be some sort of optimal strategy in there somewhere, that maximizes the economic incentive to reduce one's emissions.

I'm from Australia, but live in Germany, and have been just horrified at what's happened back there. It's as though the country has lost its mind.

My personal theory is that it's a manifestation of fear and insecurity. Australia, and many of its citizens have always had a certain lack of confidence, which is often covered up by bravado about being "the best country in the world" (as if there even is such a thing) and things like the tall poppy syndrome, currently often directed at expats("Too good to live in Australia, are you?")

On top of this, a huge amount of fear has been manufactured over the Covid-19 pandemic, both by the media seeking clicks, and by politicians seeking electoral advantage. This is one of the most shameful aspects of the entire thing to me: the deliberate emotional abuse of the population. The contrast between Dan Andrew's daily fear-mongering and berating of "rule-breakers" and Angela Merkel, most of whose public statements during the pandemic were about reassuring the German people (with occasional expressions of "concern" at most when things were going badly) has been stark for me. Even Jactinta Ardern has been much more measured in her statements, although NZ wasn't immune from madness like banning the delivery of fiction books.

And so, yes, I think a lot of Australians are on board with the border closures, the lockdowns and the like, which is astonishing to me, but I think the degree of fear there is what fundamentally explains it. As for government snooping, hardly anyone in Australia cares.

Reddit also provides image uploads for free, and most people on discord never use the voice chats as far as I can tell.

It's mostly real-time vs less than real-time communication. Discord for what is worth isn't that hard to search, and I wouldn't mind if they gave the option to some servers to have their logs automatically go to a crawlable page so they'd be indexed by Google. Of course, that won't work everywhere as real-time chats are often also used as they feel more ephemeral.
Do the new restrictions make Aussies think someone hellbent of murdering people like this wouldn't be able to do so? I see stories of people committing mass murders by driving vans through crowded streets, for example.

Yes I don't understand it either. There is zero serious competition to Google, so it would be a very hard sell for Apple to switch their users to a worse search engine.

The fact that Google is still unparalleled is also a mystery: why can't Bing be good? Why can't Amazon, or Apple with all their money, replicate the Google experience? This is weird.
Is "the agenda" not a bit of a conspiratorial way of looking at it though?

It's been notoriously difficult for creators to find mainstream outlets to tell stories about, to use your examples, trans and black lives, that aren't watered down out of fear of alienating a white, heterosexual audience. It's politicised in so much as defending your right to exist in the public sphere is always political, but is that a problem?

I love that we're starting to see stories that show more perspectives. It doesn't mean every show or movie will be amazing, but when has that ever been true? I don't think it follows that doing this "takes away" from the quality of the writing. A badly written show is a badly written show.

It got in because quarantine is a complex system (unless you completely seal your borders, and don't accept things like medicine), and complex systems do not operate perfectly forever.

Australia foolishly believed that they could choose if and when Covid entered their country, which explains the sheer complancy at all levels of government in dealing with it. This was never true.

The result was that Australia purchased, at enormous cost, some covid-free time, and then proceeded to piss it up against the wall.

(As an aside: I'm Australian, and live outside Australia. I do not want to be "repatriated", I want to simply be able to visit the country I'm a citizen of, without being banned from leaving again, and without spending thousands of dollars on quarantine.)

I think a generous interpretation of my comment regarding 2 week quarantine would be "the period that is sufficient to catch 100% of active infections of COVID-19."

Perhaps that is 2.5 or 3 weeks?

Either way, the fact remains that Australia's decision to leave thousands of their citizens stranded abroad and to lock their citizens in their country is both peculiar and unreasonable.

I'd argue it's very much on the browser vendors, because they create the strong expectation that everyone is supposed to always be using the latest version. They do this by bundling together feature updates and security updates. Web devs do the pragmatic thing and ignore feature detection, because they know users are constantly being told to update their browsers to keep themselves safe.
I mean that's kind of interpretrative. I could similarly say that it wasn't in the Constitution to begin with so it can't have been that important to them. Or that it came before they thought about giving basic rights to anyone who isn't a white man so maybe we shouldn't read too closely into the order or rely on someone from the 18th century to inform our priorities.

Political parties that edge closer to political power tend to slowly get invaded by careerist politicians put forth by lobby groups intent on maintaining the status quo.

This is how most Labor parties end up meek allies of capital - career politicians injected into the parties are funded by, promoted by and supported by institutions that owe their allegiance to capital. It's very much the safe route into politics that ends with a cushy job (which is critical coz most political careers end in failure). These people are often the best at co-opting political machinery (e.g. getting on the right committees, swinging important but less visible votes, figuring out how to get "difficult" members ejected based upon trumped up accusations of racism).

For anyone else taking a political career route you risk ending up unsupported, overworked, villified and subsequently ejected into unemployment.

If attempts to co-opt political groups edging closer to power using internal party political machinery fail, there's always a media under the full control of the upper classes that can villify individual politicians that are a threat, which a good 1/2-2/3 of the population will usually believe. Sometimes this works hand in hand (e.g. creating a facade of "unelectability" via the media and then using that internally to nix career progression).

None of this happens in parties with zero chance of getting into power (e.g. most green parties) so ironically they often end up with the best platforms.
But it’s not that different from “checking for changed content, then sending it home” (basic iCloud functionality). They already had that “capability” and the “capability” to update the OS/program code that runs on our phone to include changes. Hence, the “capability” already existed in a real way.

I fully understand the difference, but I’m just saying it’s not like Apple had to build a massively different system to support this.
I don't doubt that there are phones out there for which airplane mode works with Spotify. It's often the case in software that the bug is just not encountered, for some.

But it was also just an example of the many ways the app is broken here and there. Freezes up, crashes, etc...
And this I've gotten across phones.

But that's just the bugs. As others have said the whole thing is not even close to designed for podcasts.

Podcasts are an entirely different use case, that needs to be RSS-shaped, not like music.

> Lol Siri can't even perform contextually relevant suggestive searches or respond in kind back with cues after giving a static response to a query

Siri doesn't know a thing about you, that's why you get "static responses".

Unlike Google, which uploads _everything_ to the cloud, most (if not all) of Apple's AI/Location/data mining stuff happens "on device", and it stays on that device. If you buy a new phone/tablet/computer, you're starting from scratch again, relearning frequent locations, charging habits, etc. The data isn't even backed up, so restoring your phone from a backup also means starting from scratch.

With iOS 15, Siri is also moving "on device", so i guess it has the means to become smarter (personalized) now, when it can actually do (on device) data mining. Still not backed up though, so new phone still means you start over.
I feel like they keep falling for the centralisation/decentralisation pendulum trap, which goes like this:

1. Teams in the organisation create some good products that solve specific discrete requirements, such as an email client, a document editor, text chat, audio calls, video calls, video conferencing, etc. This usually goes along with marketing slogans like “x, reinvented” etc

2. Someone comes up with this great vision of a single unified interface in which all those discrete apps are integrated. The marketing here usually includes terms like “seamless”, “enterprise” etc.

3. Some other people notice that the discrete products have become so tightly integrated that they are missing out on users that do not want to sign up for the integrated enterprise experience, but who just want the discrete product feature. Usually competitors will have stepped into that void created in step 2 and it’s easy to convince management that they’re leaving money on the table for competitors. Just extracting some features into a stand-alone product is sold internally as a quick-win (it never is).

4. Go back to step 2

That would be great! Unfortunately the current forging model is very centralized, centered around the UX of private companies with their internal teams and little (if any) outside cooperation. That's why we need decentralized forging systems: https://staticadventures.netlib.re/blog/decentralized-forge/

There's an ongoing 5000€ bounty for implementing ForgeFed federation (based on ActivityPub) on top of Gitea, in case you know people familiar with golang/ActivityPub who'd like to help.

Also worth noting, i feel like there is room for experimenting with anti-authoritarian forging where you don't need upstream permission to receive webhooks (or other update notification). I've started experimenting with this but still pre-alpha quality: https://thunix.net/~southerntofu/forge/

> All of these CI/CD plateforms consider the repository itself should contain the tasks to be run, for example in a .gitlab-ci.yml file. This top-down deployment model is well suited to an organization controling the whole of its software supply chain, but is a severe restriction to 3rd party involvement, which mostly hinders volunteer-run projects.

> The forge suite adopts an opposite approach, where anyone can receive updates from remote repositories, and run the tasks they wish. This allows anyone within or without your projects to setup new test suites, benchmarks, and integrations. The applications are endless and should benefit your projects in many ways.

It's never happened because Australians would never vote Green. Aside from having the public image as a bunch of hippies and crackpots, a huge chunk of our voter base just want to sit on their nest eggs, which the Libs (current govt.) promise to help with. Another huge chunk just vote how their parents vote.

The only reason Australians (generalising) vote at all, is because we'd get fined if we didn't. With donkey votes (vandalised ballots) counted as votes for the current government, this country exists to hold the status quo.
