Greens don’t do shit. Vic socialists are your friends. They care about the person and the worker.

Don’t be friends with the boss

Bring back local wireless networks to connect us together and keep the big Yankee tech mobs out of our faces.

From page 25 there is crime clearance rates in Australia for the 2 decades before the internet. Looks like crime was solved before the internet existed.

An election?

We are in talks to build one for a local power utility. These are cheaper for nice-to-have sensors that aren’t critical. Most electricity meters in Victoria use a mesh network provided through silverspring devices to collect usage readings.

I’ve also heard about a rural water utility using a mesh network to connect water meters together to reduce the number of times an onsite reading is required.

Telcos are already trying to compete with mesh networks by providing low bandwidth LTE-M services that are lower cost for utilities. Nokia are pushing 450connect, 450 alliance, etc as more competitors also.

There are plenty of use cases for low bandwidth systems and services. Isolated network is great when the telcos have pages too.

You had me until you said public servant. The public service, specifically Victorian, is just assholes pushing other down for their own benefit; once you’ve been in the public service long enough you become institutionalised and it shows on many many people.

100% agree. We shouldn’t be gate keeping this away from humans that in every other way we deem them an adult.

This guy has so much energy.

I’d be up for that. I’d be pissed if I lost my licence but the world would be safer.

That’s what they are aiming for. They want to be the most outlandish so people see then

I’m with you. Keep the yanks out lest they bring their shitty government ideas with them

That’s unfair to lump all of the western world in with Australia. We ban a wide variety of things because they make us feel bad and not because it actually hurts anyone.
Johnny depps dogs, right wing authors, sports stars that won’t vaccinate, musicians that remind us were racist too, meat, German porn, Chinese fireworks. I think we have put a ban on Russian caviar too. Point is Australia likes to ban.

I heard the yanks have amazing cemeteries…

Trumps companies if you believe him and disregard the ‘made in china’ sticker

That sounds like a lot. Lassie couldn’t send an email, was only 50 american units and yet still fought to save many kid down wells.

I think the whole planet has a semi for fascism right now. In Australia (my home) there is an uptick in right wing rallies and hate speech. What’s going on in American media is on our screens constantly and people here are feeling more free to say what they want. I don’t blame Americans, I think we’ve all dropped the bomb on having real conversations with people about the ills of authoritarianism

Fight it then.

I think we are all forthright that many many millions didn’t vote for this. There are idiots there like anywhere else but unfortunately for them the idiots are on power.

Seems like we need some iron lung instagramers to talk to the kids
