No actually we are just regular women. You might like to get a coffee with me some time and I can change your mind on this matter. If you don’t like coffee, I don’t know if I can help you.

This is actually a feature utilised by transgender lesbians such as myself to maintain our competitive advantage over cisgendered engineers. Accrual of “woke points” gives higher LLM throughput and higher quality outputs even on less-capable models.

Used Traefik a couple times in my homelab, would’ve been circa 2017/2018. Worked great when it worked, otherwise it tended toward breaking ungracefully and confusingly. Tried it again for a short time in 2022, rock solid, no complaints. I’m glad to see the project’s maturity has kept up! Congratulations on ten years!

Similar boat. I think the FM iOS client is fine. It’s not a native app, it’s a bit sluggish occasionally, the interface has improved over the past 5 years but it’s still not up to the same scratch as Gmail or Apple Mail. I use FMail2 for macOS. It works fine too. Not polished, no, but it works fine.

Here in AUS, essentially every single optometrist requires digital imaging. Oh, and it’s subsidised by the government.You don’t pay a single cent for a prescription. Bonus: If you have private optical health insurance it will likely cover two pairs of prescription glasses per year. Not too bad a deal if you ask me!

What is a conspiracy here: The idea of an invisible hand which is beyond anyone’s control, or the analysis of historical information which shows a pattern? I choose to believe the data, not the fairytale you are proposing.

I’m a resident of Melbourne, in the state of Victoria, which had the longest pandemic lockdown in the world AFAIK. It certainly was at the time the lockdown ended, at least.

Victoria recently had an election wherein the government which was responsible for implementing the lockdown was re-elected. Notably, the state government’s pandemic response was dictated by facts, indeed the chief health officer responsible for informing politicians and implementing policy was a medical practitioner and undeniably an expert in public health matters.

During lockdown and even still, there continue to be protests against the government for their pandemic response, despite the re-election being a clear sign that the will of the people is that they want a government led by (or at least informed by) experts who know what they’re doing.

It’s important to note that there are examples within the Victorian government which show the opposite, though. They have aided logging of old-growth forests, despite saying they won’t allow it to continue. They’ve repeatedly and demonstrably used tax dollars to fund infrastructure projects in electorates where the ruling party has a slim majority (so-called marginal seats).

My point is the Victorian government is far from perfect. It’s been a year since the last lockdown ended, yet the lockdown is still the thing people discuss when it comes to policy. It’s the most invasive action a state government has taken, affecting so many people. It’s what people remember. And it mattered at the polling booth last month, when people voted the government back in. They even saw an increase in the seats they hold, from last election.

There's a little-known .au TLD just for this purpose- .id.au, and I've found it's still quite easy to snag a ${name}.id.au (No ABN required, AFAIK).
