. . An aging geek, castaway in the Oz nation's capital. I'm not going to blurt my health status here for any reason. I am who I am, that's all you, dear reader, need to know.

Enjoying selective hermitude.

Perceiver of the obtuse. *Warning* .. nuance or thought may be required for interpretation of some posts made.

Cecile Wake .. Guessing this individual is conscienceless or has never had to feed or clothe a family all the while paying more than export rates for the gas like I pay to warm, cook for and clean up after a family.

China pays less for Australian gas than an Australian citizen does.

"Spectacularly ill advised" right story catch phrase though.. As one would be to make this sort of statement which displays a distinct lack of understanding of the pain average Australians have, it's our government you are critiquing. One would suggest her outlook is deliberately punitive in nature towards Australians, much like her peers.

Point blank Fuck your profits, snout out you greedy lobbyist.

Shell profits only go offshore anyway.. little benefit to the Australian population beyond the tax you grudgingly pay, desperately avoid & minimize where possible.

I'd almost bet her purse is chock full of Renminbi tho, absolute hypocrite.

Grubby, #scammy, small minded #americans . . trying to charge $100 USD shipping for a $20 book.

Just a reminder they were widely hated before they started helping Putin and Israel, but for much more mundane graft and stupidity.

Hey! ABC check your AI, there should be a 'Not' in that headline ...

@AnnonBudgie@theblower.au wow if it takes a day to get to your issue, I'd do both 1 and 2, if it works eventually (no more than 5 boots) if it does not at least you've a ticket in, that when some one comes asking can you do xyz, you can say no, until ticket NNNNN is done.

@restorante@social.linux.pizza .. must admit to some confusion here, the data shows windows declining, not growing, per your initial comment, or do I have intrpreted that observation wrongly? ergo.. which "it" are you reffering to? In the table shown in my first picture it shows Windows falling from 11.4% 1/4/25, as OS market share for internet facing servers, to 8.8% 22/4/26 .. not growing, hence my confusion. As an asside this is the later part of a decline shown by the same data captured over 10 years, which on the source site shows windows falling from about 33% then to below 10% today.. Link for clarity, but it was in the image's 'Alt' text. https://w3techs.com/technologies/history_overview/operating_system/ms/y
