Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 year agoThe labor government is a fucking joke. If I didn’t hate the liberals even more, I’d hope that they got wiped out in the upcoming election.
Who knows, maybe the Greens will get a huge surge in numbers.
I’m angling for 5 days remote work. If it comes through, I’ll be looking at other options than here.

I think they’re forgetting that all the people they’re banning are going to be able to vote soon, a large portion the election after next. Depending on when the election is called, I’ll probably be voting in the coming election myself. They were already hanging on to my vote by the skin of their teeth - now they’ve gone and completely lost it, and I’m not even directly affected by their BS.
Sure makes my yearly VPN subscription worth it ¯\(ツ)//¯

There are no penalties for parents or kids that flout this, kids can easily get around it with parents ids or vpns, and Albanese even admits that they will and that them being able to is beside the point. So… what is the point? It’s just performative security theatre and a convenient excuse to increase surveillance.
The Liberals are worse by far but both parties are terrible.

If this does apply to AZ, I wonder how Nath/lodion plan on handling it. I probably trust them a little more than Google/Facebook, but the idea of sending anyone my ID is terrifying to me. I think they might be angling towards using MyGovID (which they’ve now renamed “MyID”), where you send them a copy of every form of ID you have, then they’ll handle the verification through some kind of API. But unless I know for certain the only thing returned to whoever’s asking is “yes, this person is over the age of 16”, I’m not going to be using it. I’ll just use a VPN on everything
Nath/Lodion don’t need to know my name, and the government don’t need to know my username

Yeah, I’m cautiously watching too.
That reminds me. There was something about PayPal telling merchants your name and such, I have to go double check and deal with that too if so.
Data brokering has gone wild, everything is now blatantly galloping to squeeze as much as it can
Baku@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Yeah. I’ve donated before, and I didn’t realise PayPal would publish my name, do I think Lodion probably does have my name in an email somewhere. But I don’t think it’s directly tied to the username I gave Kofi, so he’d need to go dig through it, then cross reference the dates/times/amounts to figure it out. Plus, it also exposed his name, so that makes me a little less worried about it
