Day 24 cont

“Allegra Spender has denounced as “false, misleading, and offensive” a pamphlet targeting her that is being distributed anonymously in the #Sydney seat of Wentworth and which the Australian #Electoral #Commission is investigating.

On Monday the #AEC said it had received complaints about “the #distribution of an unauthorised #pamphlet opposing the member for Wentworth which is in breach” of electoral laws which require material to be authorised with the name and address of its source.”

A pretty clumsy move, highlighting motive and at considerable cost. Motive, means, opportunity.

Keep in mind foreign interference briefing by ASIO head earlier in the year.

This short piece written two years ago speaks to the sentiment you are expressing.

@tomosaigon I know this isn't in the true spirit of #federation, but I believe for the sake of newcomers that there should be a 'default' instance of #Mastodon, just as there should be a 'default' #distribution of #Linux. When people try or move to Mastodon/Linux for the first time, that's what they use. It's designed to be simple, easy, etc. Then, after they get to know the ropes, they can decide if/where they want to move to themselves.

viel einfacher. Nun wollte ich mir das #flathub #Repository zusätzlich einbinden. Das sollte angeblich über das Paket der 3rd Party repositories gehen. Die habe ich installiert. Flathub ist nicht dabei.
Jetzt müsste ich also wieder anfangen manuell rumzufummeln um es einzubinden. Und dann wahrscheinlich auch wieder um es aktuell zu halten.
Das ist doch Scheiße. Also werde ich mir wohl eine andere #Linux #Distribution suchen müssen und nochmal von vorne anfangen.
Keinen Bock drauf (2/2)
