i only strongly respect it as far as its something i am still yet to learn, and only in that field. but once im knowledgeable, i treat them as a peer

oh wait that's wu

might grab that, but i was already looking at their artfire instead

this one keeps tempting me, it looks terrible in stock photos but here it looks lovely, and im yet to encounter a newage figure that isn't wonderful in hand

Goddamn they actually did it

every1 please gaze upon the mudkip my friend crocheted for me on my birthday last year (i only just pulled him out)

you could see all race even the usually confident top drivers tried for a lot more overtakes but couldn't commit to any dives to pull it off.

hoping the rounds tomorrow and Sunday are a bit more interesting to watch, once there is some more rubber on the road from the open wheelers running all day.

god the first race of supercars today was bland. even practice and qualifying had me more excited, just seeing people's sector improvements.

this track just really doesn't work for them when in road surface has so little grip.

outside of the first half lap there was only 3-4 overtakes total

any chance that place is currently showing the Carrera cup? all mine cut to golf :/

NZ sky sports one, wont be in the scheduled

they know how to hit where it hurts... wonderful

cant wait for another Malinauskas email to leak to show him tampering and pressuring with this stuff again

we're reaching the end stage of the death spiral of mardigras

cutting off any of their history of protest and standing up to power and taking care of each other

even trying to cut off a large part of the queer community from being able to use a queer event to represent themselves

fuck mardigras

apparently cops being kept in and trans ppl being kept out wasnt enough for them

not even giving cops weapons capable of mass murder, at an event born during horrific police mass violence towards queers, that's not enough

outright excluding a group critical of a genocide.

pffft they didnt foil shit

if the device hadn't failed to detonate as intended, mass deaths would have occurred on their watch

they didnt even realise a bomb had been thrown into a crowd right in front of them

sitting there for nearly an hour before they evacuated people from the area

a screenshot of an android settings page. it reads: Alerts Extreme threats Extreme threats to life and property Severe threats Severe threats to life threats to life and property AMBER alerts Child abduction emergency bulletins Test alerts Receive operator tests and monthly tests from the safety alert system Emergency alert history Alert preferences Vibration Alert reminder Never Always alert at full volume Ignore Do Not Disturb and other volume settings. When turned off the most critical settings. When turned off, the alerts may still sound at full volume. the only option turned on is "vibration"

a news clipping. it reads: Users will not be able to opt out of the highest- level threat alert. Opt-out functionality will be able for lower level threats, known as priority alerts.

haha maybe.

this is the most you can shut down without poking around the developer configuration options, but these options are things they explicitly stated they'd bypass for the top level alerts. absolutely mandatory.

for these they said they'd use the mandatory top level for all the tests, plus actual emergency imminent danger alerts (probably just fire and floods)

now I just need to figure out what to do about android, since my phone and stripped down dedicated AAC phone are both on it, and my main phone is infamously hard to work with to customise even the most basic stuff if it's not in their stock launcher.

yeah exactly. I'm essentially tethered to my phone and other devices at all times just to survive, but everything goes straight to my smartwatch without notification sounds because that's the only way to survive with M.E.

a purely visual alert would instantly get my attention, without harming me.

@lukesteuber.com question, do you think it might be possible to disable this functionality via a configuration profile on iOS? also the equivalent is for android?

(also we are finally getting some funding for custom equipment to help with my health so i might need to poke your brain about ideas)

and that one was less loud, a single source, further away, and through a door.

this would be my phone, my aac device, my iPad.
Plus every other cellular device that is kept in use in the house.

those devices are always 50 cm away from my head at most, this test is almost certain to cause problems.

last time I lived in an environment with random false alarm blaring sirens,
it pushed my brain so far that close proximity sirens and alarms would put me into a seizure

just from the overwhelming sensory input that my brain couldn't process or filter

If this doesn't have accessibility options, it's not just useless, it's actively dangerous and harmful for me.

I would be better off rooting and jailbreaking all devices that are going to be in this program to disable the audio component.

this shit is bad.

not a fan of this

being almost entirely bedbound, an in person GP appointment is extremely rare and unlikely to be possible, then relying entirely on telehealth psychology

reducing accessibility for this is such an awful idea, we had to redo ours a few months ago and that outing destroyed me

definitely have some friends this applies to

I mean, thats what Vegemite has always been

bloody close, last year i got it early march thanks to an expensive initial specialist consult on top of weekly appointments with others

two otters one is showing off her baby and the other is showing off a pipe with a headline that says that

being at the age where everyone you know is having children

idk how so many people seem to be incapable of logically weighing up the risks and choose to be entirely careless, even while public health warnings are in place and communicated everywhere, they still completely ignore it and jeopardise their health and community's health

and tbh I only did it because it was the last time I would have a chance to do it,

in the weeks before we were watching the sewage PCR numbers to show how active things were in the community, only going ahead because it was a dip, and with all sorts of respiratory protection practices
