I paid near $60 for 3 chicken nugget size pieces of Kobe beef from a street vendor in Osaka.

Totally worth it.

I believe this is the first release of Calyx that lets you re-lock it. You couldn't on the older ones. I was running the old one right up until the new one released.

I think general advice is only lock it at the end of installation process to avoid problems (at least that's what I think I read months ago). You will leave a security hole open by not locking it.

I noticed some of the documentation on the Calyx site hasn't been updated to reflect changes in the new release. I'd prioritise info from the installer pages and processes over most other info on the site at the moment.

Julie Collins, the agriculture minister, stressed that the government would “never compromise on biosecurity”.

No mention of cybersecurity.

I used it for a week when I got FP4 (2024). It was pretty usable. I was still using my iPhone for music and to have it handy in case I needed something that UT couldn't do. It was a slow, planned migration. I was having an issue with music not outputting volume and then threw Calyx on it as music was a deal breaker for me. I still had the same issue on Calyx, it wasn't the OS that was the problem.

I've been on Calyx since aside from another little foray in UT before updating to the new Calyx and my issues with UT are all software based. The OS is functionally great on the phone, which makes sense because FP officially support it now.

Unhook does most of this in one extension.

You don't have to pay them low. You can make the choice to pay them above average.

Soccer is a minor sport in Australia compared to others. I don't really watch it but after we hosted the women's world cup a few years ago I did give the local A League a look. It just wasn't for me but I did try.

I'll watch the odd international game (even other countries) if it lines up now so the world cup did improve my opinion of the game, even if it didn't convert me to a fan.

I've got both and prefer vinyl. If I was starting from zero now I would focus on CDs. Not everything is available in every format but I think CDs have the most coverage.

Can be installed on more than just Pixels. Uses microG instead of sandboxing.

Seedvault works really well. Just remember to take the backup off the phone before you install the new version. That was a fun afternoon.

 

After being on hiatus for almost a year Calyx OS has started releasing again. A degoogled Android ROM for Pixels, Fairphones, Shift phones and Motorolas.

I should start by saying, I am trying to find out information in good faith and have done a bit of research that was largely unproductive thanks to all the spin and "expert commentary".

My understanding is the new proposal would tax gains adjusted for inflation at 30%. I am also of the understanding that you could claim a 50% discount on this tax if you lived in a property it would apply within a timeframe. I am not sure how it was calculated for other asset classes.

So I guess my questions are, is the above correct? What were the old rules? What are the new rules? What's this 47% equity thing doing the rounds that just sounds incorrect?

 

What are you Ubuntu Touch users doing for music? Its one of my big hurdles to switching since I discovered Musicolet on Android.

 

If you're missing your footy, I recommend checking out the Super League final that happened overnight. A worthwhile watch, and might be a nice primer for some of the English that will be in the national team.

A couple of former NRL players in there too like Jared Waerea-Hargreaves (his final game before retiring), Peta Hiku, Tyrone May and Bevan French.

 

Have you had any privacy wins recently? Anything you've tried or tweaked to improve your privacy? Anyone who's listened to something you've said? Do you have any privacy enhancing projects or changes you're working on implementing

I managed to convert someone to Signal this week. Was having reception difficulties with a phone call (both of us in spotty areas) and after a drop out, managed to get them on board with Signal. A very notable quality improvement in the call which helped reinforce to them it was a good idea.

I'm going to work on setting up Pihole over the weekend.

Note: I did steal this topic idea from Techlore.

 

In any format? I prefer to buy video games physically and have a respectable book, VHS and vinyl record collection. Though the majority of my music and video-based entertainment are digital.

 

Melbourne, Cronulla. Brisbane, Penrith.

Who are we thinking goes through to the big one?

Prior to the end of the season I was thinking it would be Canberra and Melbourne. Canberra obviously not going to happen but Brisbane and Melbourne is the next best thing. Or really as a Broncos supporter I should be saying the best thing.
