Yeah :(

And everyone else loses. They pay less, they get only candidates willing to work for that kind of pay, we get disengaged, unhappy police, good police move to where they can get paid, we get understaffed police.

Bit rarer now

That sounds fun actually.

I just have some folders with frequently used stuff, and one whole screen devoted to a non crap weather widget (Weawow) a search widget, and Agenda Widget.

I use persistent notifications for a few things, and occasionally apps get promoted to the home screen temporary, for example when I go to the USA in September I’ll dig up the airnz app out of the app drawer.

Some of that’s general laziness but also at some point I just lost interest in customisation for the sake of customisation and I tend to only go looking for options when I’m annoyed with something or if the amount of slack I can gain from customising will outweigh the effort.

I had the same background picture for like 6 years. Got bored enough during lockdown that I changed it, but then had to redo my colour and icon scheme.

Finally got annoyed enough with google at a glance and it’s inaccurate weather that I downloaded Nova launcher so I could banish the widget. I hadn’t bothered before because the latest Android versions had most of the same functionality

I’d love to write the business case for a deicing unit.

Oh neat. Unlikely to happen here, I think.

The annual fucking of Wellington commuter trains by icy overhead lines has begun. If only there was some kind of power source nearby that could be tapped into and used to deice the lines…

So much work at work. Good thing they’re paying me for it.

Idiots badmouthing someone who clearly knows how to file an OIA on a platform subject to OIA requests.

That said I’ve had the displeasure of dealing with fishing expedition OIAs and ones where the question is nearly impossible to answer because the person asking either expressed it poorly or deeply misunderstands the thing they’re asking about.

Yeah should be warmer and drier

Thanks for the warning. Luckily my passport is good for several years yet. It’s gonna be weird going from early spring to early autumn though.

Bought my tickets to go visit my family in September. Spending that much always freaks me out even though I know I can afford it

WFH problems

Not that I love meth but I suspect if people could buy it in shops and bars the costs would be equivalently high.

This won’t make me dislike ACT more but that’s only because I’m already at max dislike.

Yep

I’m thinking it doesn’t matter what we think, it matters which one could accrue expensive court costs. Because “false claim” is specific and provable, “lied” is murky and general. When it comes to libel and slander lawsuits, the legal system runs on semantics and pedantry.

Why should they open themselves to that kind of legal system enabled retribution? After all, we all know whose pants are on fire.

I don’t know, if I was IT decision-making and I worked for a company I didn’t particularly like I might install this for the executive stratosphere and hope for subpoenas.

I made it to my latest covid booster without catching covid, hooray!
