Huh. Even Boeing doesn't want to be associated with Boeing:
Boeing executives have repeatedly sought to make clear that the Starliner program operates independently from the company’s other units — including the commercial aircraft division that has been at the center of scandals for years.
A railway station isn't restored until all the passenger rail lines and services are restored.
I was all ready to rant about the problem of new developments being built before public transport infrastructure, but I checked the map and there are two railway lines in the vicinity!

...that said, there is a distinct lack of cycle/pedestrian infrastructure and the style of vehicle traffic makes it hostile.
Of course, the best solution to that is limiting car traffic to a single lane, no on-street parking, and a 20km/h speed limit.
Developers are building half-width streets in Western Sydney due to current planning laws, as local councils and the state government blame each other over the issues the narrow roads are creating for residents.
Handy to have an offline translation dictionary. I've used QuickDic for languages I know how to type, but I notice there are a bunch of more specialised Japanese dictionary apps in F-Droid that can search by radical or OCR if you don't type or understand the characters.
No worries. The situation I was describing is indeed absurd and defies reasonable expectations.
Ah, that's good then.
In Australia you really only need a name and date of birth and ID such as a passport or driving license number of the owner. No physical or even photographic proof. Some phone companies send the original sim a notification before moving it, but no response is required and moving the number often only takes 10~30mins.
Banks in Australia commonly use sms codes as 2fa.
A large percentage (20~30%?) of adult Australians have had their ID details leaked in recent years because there are no adequately enforced security requirements or data-retention limits. One of the largest breaches was the second largest mobile phone provider...
As in "Hi PhoneCompany, I'd like a mobile plan with you. Yes, I'd like to bring my old phone number over to the new account."
Or "Hi PhoneCompanySupport, I'm @thingsiplay and i lost my sim, plz send me a new one. BTW my new address is ..."
Ideally it shouldn't happen, but phone company security is pretty slack sometimes,
Swapping the sim associated with your phone number -- from your sim to their sim.
Oh fuck yeah... never had it toasted before! Gotta try that some time.
Same. Otherwise it's dnscrypt on the router that's gone wonky.

More than 100 lawyers endorsed the referral, which points to the military, intelligence, and rhetorical support Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has provided to the Israeli government.

Record demand from India sharply increased Airbus orders in June to leave the European planemaker with 1,044 net orders in the first half of the year, data showed on Friday.
Meanwhile India's incredible train network suffers continuing decades of neglect resulting in poor performance and tragic rail disasters.
We need a fuckplanes community to complement !fuck_cars@lemmy.ml.
One phone, no encrypted apps, and sharing passwords with police: These are some of the technology-focused bail conditions faced by Blockade Australia climate protesters.

So, this is interesting. I wanted to find that essay by @dessalines@lemmy.ml outlining the many issues of Signal and suggested alternatives, but DuckDuckGo had nothing for me. Not on the first page, not on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th page.
I thought maybe I just imagined the title, but sure enough, on searching lemmy posts, it was right there. Then I thought "hang on, there's hardly a mention let alone criticism of signal on any page of those search results!".
Hmm.. the wording might be a bit ambiguous, but let's compare:
- DuckDuckGo "why not signal" - NOTHING
- Google "why not signal"
- Plenty of results! Dessaline's essay is first up, followed by a plethora of discussions about the essay on HN, Reddit, lemmys, mastodons, and more. Not evil! ..this time.
- DuckDuckGo "why not signal" dessalines
- Okay, so DDG has indexed it just fine. Maybe dessalines is "downranked" à la RT.com?
- DuckDuckGo "why not market socialism"
- Nope, finds one of dessalines' socialism essays just fine, half way down the page.
All of the following except Gigablast returned a healthy list of results including the original essay:
Does anyone know what this thing is? Some kind of decentralized, open source, anti-establishment, etc platform aiming to be an alternative to twitter, but we plebs aren't allowed to see or participate in the development process or even see any source repositories yet.
To me there's a bunch of red flags, but I can't put my finger on what I reckon they're flagging. It's that combo of roll-your-own-crypto and promises of decentralization and secret-open-source-development-model all tied together with node.js and blockchain.
No mention of other decentralization efforts, their envisaged place/relationship with the fediverse, ActivityPub, Mastodon, possibility of extending their new blockchain protocol ideas with other platforms. Nothing even about how they're better than the fediverse or whatever.
They were banned from twitter tho so they "must be legit"? The slides on the "tech" page mostly have this "COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE - NOT FOR UNAUTHORISED USE OR DISSEMINATION" watermarks, which is pretty weird.
