Very cool!!

I really wish that this came out a week earlier, before I'd ordered S26U. I could've stretched the S22U out another year while waiting for a more open alternative.

Hopefully @grapheneos.org + Motorola Flagship, or equivalent, is still an option when I retire the new phone.

All three living former Fed chairs have slammed the critical investigation into Jerome Powell, but Sydney Morning Herald expects better of the dead ones.

Sydney Morning Herald disappointed by the silence of the deceased former US Fed chairs?

Turns out davidsquires.bsky.social is the only one covering the league for @australia.theguardian.com this season?

975 spots each generating $25/day is lile $24k/day in revenue. Google-fu suggests operating a Sydney bus costs say $8/km, so it buys... 3,000km/day?

You could probably run a bus within walking distance of every house serviced by the station every 10 minutes all day?

Free parking is stupid.

Is it expected that the top badge for all of these (but not earlier tiered challenges) is showing as locked ATM despite being completed? Hopefully this doesn't prevent the wings?

One @kagi.com's big wins is that downranking ad/tracker-laden domains completely wipes blogspam from results.

But if the motivation for "black hat SEO" switches from ad $ to manipulating LLM search results (for $?), it becomes much more tricky to detect?!

Is the repo of the Android app itself public at the moment?

The main thing I'd want for my pre-order PT2 is Health Connect integration so that steps can sync between wearables/ecosystems, and I can switch between a presumably-still-WIP Pebble and other devices without missing a step (lulz).

Getting from Railway Square to the Central metro platforms is pretty frustrating and stupid?

You start basically on top of the platforms, but have to do a ΒΎ lap of the station through either the country terminal or the tunnel to actually get to it.

Awesome! Having to do it by van transfer last year sucked.

Love it!

Was in Porto Alegre for a few days after the AUSvNLD game and the atmosphere around the city in the build up to the ARG game (incl. the Fan Fest for their earlier Iran match) was one of the highlights of the trip.

Not in my lifetime though, and I'm approaching 40.

I'd much rather privatise and actually realise infrastructure than the alternative.

Happy for someone to show a third way, but Minns isn't that, and Sydney can't afford another lost decade like the 00s.

Metro + West Link + Trams > Poles + Wires.

Because 1995-2011 NSW ALP, and Minns announcement this week that there will be no transit infrastructure beyond the roadmap they inherited from the privatisation-friendly LNP, proves that rolling out necessary infrastructure is impossible without it?

Backed! Looking forward to giving this a go when it comes out.

The models themselves aren't "middlemen". Nobody's training and deploying models in real-time to zero-shot news unreliably at huge $$. The same info could be RAG-ed into the context window of established models far more accurately and cheaply. Info producers become paid (by user count?) RAG sources?

For 25yrs they could've unilaterally stopped it dead by just refusing ads from offenders, giving buyers an important signal on realistic quotes.

But nah. Just profit first and report on it after.

Sounds good.

I'd be very happy with a future where my distro handles the base (Open Source!!) IDE install and my subscription unlocks premium features as plugins.

Sydney FC to seek millions in compensation over Allianz Stadium drainage fiasco A review is expected to recommend the stadium be shut down for at least six weeks to fix the playing surface, meaning the Sky Blues will have to take their home games on the road again.

Good.

It's absurd that the three-year-old, $828 million Sydney Football Stadium is not fit for the purpose of ... football.

Amenities are great (when they're actually open, a whole other fiasco...) but the pitch itself has consistently been an absolute shit-show.

Google Maps puts "East Newcastle to Newcastle Interchange" as 14 minutes by light rail or 39 minutes walking.

"Circular Quay to Central" is 36 minutes walk and 20 by light rail (but really you get the city circle).

Doesn't seem bad?

QF? I watched it for the first time on the way *to* Perth.

Hated the first third. Dragged on, super clichΓ©d, I so nearly gave up. Then the characters evolved beyond tropes, they actually put some meat on the story, and it won me over by the end.

If we MUST stick to recycling IP, this I can do.

> The β€œhigh-street” style layout of the area makes you think there might be some cute local gems - but no. Just another Chemist Warehouse and a Nandos, baby. Bella Vista… well I don't know why I got off here.

Should've gone to Bella Vista Frangos.

Might've been better off to face an A team with nothing to play for going through the motions than a B team desperate to prove themselves.

"Club's 3-2 win sets up semi against Melbourne United"

The NBL team?

That could be interesting, but I'd be pretty confident that the professional footballers win a game of football against the professional basketball players.
