I consider obsidian a knowledge base, rather than a note taking app. I use both apple notes and obsidian for different purposes.

Yes, but that was never the truth, it was a lie created by companies marketing a product. A big difference between now and the then is we have access to the vast majority of human knowledge in our pocket. Much easier become informed on a subject now than in the past. Some people just lack the skills to do so, or choose not to and live in a fantasy.

A well informed and well educated population. What is truth and what’s misinformation isn’t really a matter of opinion. There’s reality and there’s fantasy, some people just prefer the latter. The government and myself don’t control the flow of information.

Free speech is about being able to criticise a government without fear of reprisal. It’s not a free ticket to spread misinformation, incite violence/hate or unjustly defame a person. Your assertion that free speech must be absolute or it will lead to society where people are executed for criticising government is a complete fantasy. No country has absolute free speech, not even the USA, as much as some citizens like to believe they do.

Funny that the party of “common sense” and “fiscal responsibility” pushes for technology that either doesn’t exist yet or isn’t economically viable.

Barbie still can’t decide what to do with those annoying bangs.

Weak

A broker will cost you nothing as your lender will pay them once the loan is established. Another advantage of a broker is a couple of years down the track you can ask them to find you a better interest rate with minimal fuss. As for legal cost I’m not 100% what the going rate is these days. I would expect somewhere between $500-$2000. As the above comment said, a good legal firm is probably not going to be the cheapest. Definitely worth paying for expertise. It’s a small cost in the grand scheme.

My advice would be to find a good mortgage broker. They guide you through the process and can apply to multiple lenders simultaneously. Once you are pre approved you can start shopping. If you make an offer that is accepted on property you will need to engage the services of a conveyancer to sort property handover. Lots of paperwork to sign and from personal experiences it rarely goes smoothly. I would also advice engaging the services of a building/pest inspector prior to handover.

Remember when Google’s motto was “Don’t be evil”? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Im speaking anecdotally, but as a law abiding citizen, none of my interactions with NSW police have been a positive experience. I would imagine individuals from other social/cultural backgrounds experience far worse treatment. IMO NSW police either needs a massive cultural shift (unlikely) or needs to be rebuilt from scratch.

Do you want a zombie apocalypse? Because this is how you get a zombie apocalypse.

Believe it or not, some people aren’t big on over consumption and want things to last. Companies should do better and not produce crap that’s going to end up in landfill in a few years.

Good explanation. Even if their long term support doesn’t work out it’s nice to see a trend towards long term support and reduction of e-waste.

This is really good to hear. The worst thing about mid range android phones is the lack of future software support. Even flagship androids aren’t anything to write home about. As much as people like shitting on apple, they support their devices for quite a while compared to other manufacturers.
