I understand that there are issues regarding receiving informed consent from someone suffering from e.g., late stage dementia. I wish we could see some kind of process that people are able to undertake before they get to this stage that would allow them to be approved for VAD then to be acted on later.

It's a huge step in the right direction. We need to keep being aware of the issue, discuss it with the people around us in order to create further acceptance. Maybe one day we will see thoughtful legislation expand on this.

I looked into the legislation and it seems to specifically disallow VAD for these cases that you're talking about (minor edits made for brevity):

A person is not eligible for access to voluntary assisted dying merely because the person has a disability, or dementia, or a mental health impairment.

To avoid doubt, if a person permanently loses decision-making capacity in relation to voluntary assisted dying at any time during the request and assessment process the person ceases to be eligible.

Huge moment for the decency and compassion of those staring down the barrel of certain death. I've been following the movement for over a decade and it's been a long journey but it's finally here. People need to be given a humane option and the right to choose their own death rather than being forced to die a slow, painful, horrible death and leave their families with the memory of the shell of their former self.

It seems relatively sane:

Like other states, approval in NSW is a two-doctor process.

An applicant's illness or medical condition must be expected to cause death within six months, or 12 months for a person with a neurodegenerative disease, for them to be eligible.

On new installs it does force you. I had to do it today (Windows 10). There are workaround such as attempting to log into a banned account, or other weird hacks involving disconnecting the internet and know the right combinations of hidden menus to navigate.

I know you've solved the problem. I would still like to suggest using the asdf version manager. It's a good idea to switch to it because different problems tend to crop up when installing different tooling. Usually these are unique to each tool and sometimes hard to find the right solution.

Instead, I use asdf to manage it all for me. You get the added benefit of being able to install different versions of the same tool. Sometimes a project is built using a different version to the one you have in your package manager. It's nice to be able to use different versions locally while still having a global default.

What improvements would you like to see to the backend to make developing the front end better?

All true points. There's also a point to be made about allocation of resources. Should you be spending millions marketing a broken game?

So much of our economy is export driven. Particularly to China and particularly coal. Sad.

If the photos go to a private directory but you are now rooted you should be able to directly access that directory and copy the files out. This is assuming that they are stored as regular files in that directory instead of being solely in the sqlite db. Does that work?
