  • Yes, but that was never the truth, it was a lie created by companies marketing a product. A big difference between now and the then is we have access to the vast majority of human knowledge in our pocket. Much easier become informed on a subject now than in the past. Some people just lack the skills to do so, or choose not to and live in a fantasy.

    Free speech is about being able to criticise a government without fear of reprisal. It’s not a free ticket to spread misinformation, incite violence/hate or unjustly defame a person. Your assertion that free speech must be absolute or it will lead to society where people are executed for criticising government is a complete fantasy. No country has absolute free speech, not even the USA, as much as some citizens like to believe they do.





  • Some of my favourite apps:

    1. Voyager - Apollo like web app for Lemmy.

    2. Bitwarden - Password manager, I prefer this over keychain as it is accessible on all devices.

    3. 2FAS Authenticator - Authenticator app with a handy browser extension.

    4. Firefox Focus - Privacy browser as well as an ad blocker that integrates with Safari.

    5. FileBrowser - Handy for accessing cloud or samba storage not supported by the iOS files app. Has some other cool features too.

    6. Mobius Sync - Syncthing for iOS devices.

    7. OnlyOffice - Good Google docs alternative, makes it convenient to quickly access and edit a document/spreadsheet on mobile.

    8. Voice Dream - One of my favourite apps. May be special use case, but great app to read and listen to books and other documents.

    9. Obsidian - Knowledge base. May be special use case again, but as a student I can’t properly function without it.

    10. HereWeGo Maps - Good offline alternative/backup to Apple Maps.



  • A broker will cost you nothing as your lender will pay them once the loan is established. Another advantage of a broker is a couple of years down the track you can ask them to find you a better interest rate with minimal fuss. As for legal cost I’m not 100% what the going rate is these days. I would expect somewhere between $500-$2000. As the above comment said, a good legal firm is probably not going to be the cheapest. Definitely worth paying for expertise. It’s a small cost in the grand scheme.










  • I don’t think it’s a culture war bullshit to point out one party is systemically corrupt compared to the other, it’s just the reality. Fact is not all MPs and public servants are corrupt. The majority do the right thing and want to serve the public. To say they are all the same is just plain, flat out ignorant. I do hope those responsible are held to account. I hope this will give at least some closure to the victims. Give it time the report was only just released.
