Not having all the silly teenager / young adult bits of their lives documented in videos for all to see.

Also to be fair, we in Australia are far from being some car free utopia either.

We have heaps of car dependant urban sprawl in our major cities where the vast majority of us live. We are also adding more of this sprawl all the time.

On the plus side most of our state capital cities have got decent heavy rail networks which you can park at stations and ride.

Maybe an attempt to push more people to their app? Then they can harvest more user data which investors value.

Maybe we need a car that is low and wedge shaped, like something from battlebots. When cars high off the ground run in to it they will be guaranteed to roll.

Coalition math: Three times zero equals many more decades of fossil fuel lobby getting what they want.

That's why we call those type of "bike lanes" a murder strip.

Have them where I live too.

I recently tried to get away from outlook as my primary email / calendar. Tried a couple of different providers only to discover just how reliant I am on having seamless calendar invites.

Manually attaching .ICS files to email was not going to cut it. No matter how good caldav is for my phone to desktop, I need to easily make events / respond to them.

If the govt is going to exert control over "smart" TVs, I would rather they ban ads and data collection from TV operating systems / apps that can't be removed.

Been using android since the first galaxy. Never have I experienced such a fuck up as when I let my pixel 7 pro update to 14. And this is from someone that used to run random custom stuff going back a few years.

Android 14 caused my phone memory to become corrupt and I had no choice but to factory reset, losing everything not synced. Apparently this was due to running two separate user profiles.

Somehow Google was too busy finding ways to get and sell more of our data and forgot to test if this basic feature fucking works.

Not looking forward to Monday when I'll have to jump through flaming hoops to set up my work micrishaft authenticator / profile / intune crap again.

Other beef with 14, custom launchers are broken. I have never been able to stand the stock launcher, it is like babies first launcher. No customisation options and the stupid search bar can't be removed. A few apps I use on a regular basis claim to to not be compatible, even though they ran fine for several days in 14 till the whole thing shit itself.

On the UI front I feel as if everything seems to get more bland each release with less interesting customisation than we had circa android 5.

Majority of people here descended from people who arrived well after the colonists. About a third of us were born overseas. Around half have a parent born overseas.

I really like this. I'm sure politicians are at least a decade away from considering it though.

It should not be viable for office workers to drive their V8 turbo diesel ice cap melter in to the CBD each day. Would need a sizeable levee to make an impact to that behaviour.

Causing air pollution and having major population centres with terrible air quality.
