I agree it's not a justification. I just think it's worth pointing out the hypocrisy when Elon has been platforming Chaya Raichik, who does the exact same thing (to private citizens who have done nothing wrong, mind you).

The right has been doing this for like a decade now.
Yep that's the explanation I've heard. Telcos shifting this mess onto the consumer is pretty obviously not ideal. They shouldn't have gone ahead with the 3G shutoff knowing these issues existed.
They could have waited 4-5 years for the majority of Aussies upgrade to a new phone that supports Telstra's VoLTE, implemented a fallback system on Telstra's network for phones that don't support it, etc.
But they didn't.
Super poor form imo. If our government were serious about protecting Australians they would do something to punish these companies. But they won't. And our slow slide towards America-style late-stage capitalism will continue.
I escaped a teams only company for a slack company a few months ago. Best thing I ever did. Plus I got a payrise.
fuck it, an meme
Spoiler alert: Biden isn't left wing
This whole thing has been a mess. Thousands of Aussies had to buy new phones due to them using a phone allowlist instead of a blocklist (arguably they should have just let the phones stop working instead of blocking them outright). The allowlist they used was missing hundreds of 4G capable phones and was missing just about every overseas model of phone. I know 2 people whose phones were blocked for no reason.
Tourists coming to Australia are finding their phones blocked here, preventing them from using their phones in Australia.
000 calls are borked for thousands of Aussies as well.
We are one of the only countries in the world to turn off 3G. And we're certainly the only one to fuck it up this badly. I'm convinced the big telcos only did this to drive phone sales (many of which will be bought/leased on exploitative plans), because god knows there's no other compelling reason to shut 3G off.
What a joke.
History in the making. This is what open source is all about.
Yeah, okay. Great.
I assume they're talking about tear gas used by police (Trump's thugs) in protests.
Nah. Non-white people in the crowd are glad they're one of the good ones 🙏🙏 (they don't know Trump doesn't care).
Was trying to get a friend to switch to jellyfin the other day and it turns out he's got a weird Hisense projector that uses VIDAA OS, which does not have a jellyfin app, but DOES have a Plex app. I imagine setups like this are probably limiting Jellyfin's adoption. VIDAA is actually less niche than I thought as well, heaps of cheap-ish TVs and projectors are running it.
