  • Where, precisely, does my post claim .au has a 2 party system?

    It’s an illustration of how the 2 major parties have functioned in lock-step to move the Overton Window rightward here for last decade or two of the previous century, and the entirety of this one.

    We’re lucky to have an electoral system which permits nuanced preferences to be meaningfully counted. We don’t need to blindly accept the dimmer of two incendiary forces.

  • Framing the Australian Labor Party, in its current form, as ‘centre-left’ betrays a catastrophic level of wilful ignorance and obsequious deference.

    The ALP today are a demonstrably conservative, centre-right party, and the Liberal/National coalition are solidly right-wing regressive.

  • I cut my teeth with DOS and Netware, used Windows until the day 98 was released (had been using the GM for a month), and cut over to Slackware as my daily driver. Dabbled with Redhat before stabilising on Debian, which I’ve never found a need to change from for my headless boxes.

    One thing I specifically remember was hand tuning my X11 config to drive my 15” Trinitron at 1024x768 @ ~68Hz.

  • Advertising needs to become as socially acceptable as smoking.

    It arbitrary pollutes any environment it’s conducted in, and causes secondary harms to non-participants by incentivising insecure hoarding of private information with the intent to better target individuals.

  • It’s almost like granting a supreme veto to a single, wholly imaginary ideology, and positioning it as a monoculture for how society values activities and production, is problematic.

    We apparently did away with it once before through the separation of church and state, maybe it’s time to force the separation of bank and state.

  • Fascism is a system of, by, and for the weak and fragile.

    It’s wholly incompatible with healthcare, education, and peace, which is why it needs to ensure its population remains sick, stupid, and scared.
