I went from about eight years on Duolingo, not progressing, and within one year in a class environment, I eclipsed my eight years easily. 4 years in German class, I have friends, and am in Germany now, listening to my wife and her old friends shoot the shit, and I understand a LOT of it. More than they'd like me to π
I started taking German classes and it's a small class of about 15 people and the bulk of them are now casual friends a few years later. Some good friends. It's awesome.
In a matter of a week or two I upgraded from UI 5 to 6 to 7.
The move from 5 to 6 more than halved my battery life instantly.
In one go my phone went from lasting about a day and a half roughly, to needing to be charged by just after lunch time. Absolute disgrace.
So then I upgraded again with all the promises I'd read that it has improved performance and battery life and it's dropped at least by another 15%.
My phone is lucky to make it to lunchtime now, thanks to these upgrades.
Autokey can trigger xdotool, pyautogui and more. I use it daily like this.
However, if you want the really good gear, check out Talon Voice. It's unfortunately closed source, but has a free access tier that's capable.
The community have created open source addons and it's stellar for daily driving, and games.
I've traveled a lot of Australia, and I have a small water filter that I take with me everywhere, because there are many many town's water that taste like earth, or dirt, or dusty.
Australians could keep a metric shit ton of their wages, if we just taxed the mining sector, and fired our corrupt politicians.
We would have free education / universities, free health care, free dental and more.
In 2024, a new law opened up the postal market to private competition and took away its exemption from the country's 25% rate of VAT, so the price of a PostNord stamp jumped to 29 Danish krone ($4.55; Β£3.35) per letter.
"That made [volumes] drop even further faster,"
Remember https://www.mozillafoundation.org/en/privacynotincluded/nissan/
They come right out and say they can collect and share your sexual activity, health diagnosis data, and genetic information and other sensitive personal information for targeted marketing purposes. We absolutely aren't making that up. It says so in their Nissan USA privacy notice. And that's not all! They also say they can share and even sell "Inferences drawn from any Personal Data collected to create a profile about a consumer reflecting the consumerβs preferences, characteristics, psychological trends, predispositions, behavior, attitudes, intelligence, abilities, and aptitudes" to others for targeted marketing purposes. Yes, Nissan says they can infer things like how smart you are, if you have a predisposition to drink, if you are acting depressed, and if you are any good at chess (we're guessing that's what they can infer..it could be even worse than that), and then they say they can make as much money off that very personal information as they can.
Australia is pulling this nonsense also. I just walk on to the next bar.
Omg a mining corporation and Murdoch. We surely must listen to this unbiased, genuinely helpful advice.

"While there has been a number of public updates on the progress of Victoria's treaty negotiations, the full details of the agreement, including what it will cost, remain confidential."
Yeah, that's going to go down like a lead balloon. As if there aren't enough back room deals done to the chagrin of the population.
Corruption happens behind closed doors. Make everything public. Then everybody can consider it in their own terms.
This is about transparency. Stop giving racists fantasy and theatrical leverage, and give the whole truth, so people can have informed discussions.
