Why am I not surprised?
Typical hypocrisy of the Left.
I wonder if any Aussie taxpayer dollars went to the WEF? Australian Governments have been and are enthusiastic supporters of that evil organisation and those who run it.
And Government officials and others get to fly there on VIP flights or private jets on taxpayer funded “holidays” (for bureaucrats and politicians) to the luxury ski resort at Davos.
Australia’s chief censor, the e Safety Kommisar, a position created by the fake conservative Liberal Party, is an enthusiastic participant at the WEF.

And why am I not surprised also?
>”I achieved more in four days than I could in four years… I asked directly the decision-makers what they are doing to make their platforms safer. I was sharing our leadership and our model in terms of how we’re tackling online safety.”
She asked a question and gave a report.
She could easily do that over zoom or skype.
It shouldn’t cost the taxpayer $40,000 for a 4 day all expenses paid luxury trip to Switzerland for two!
Anyway, why does she need an assistant just to ask a question and give a report? What was his name and exact role?
If that is more than she could achieve in four years then she is just a useless office decoration and a waste of money.
Since the President and Vice-President of the USA are trying to combat censorship in the interests of freedom of expression both at home and internationally, why do we have an ex(?)CIA representative of the USA over here trying to kill freedom of expression?
The whole thing stinks like a hidden barrel of mackerel.

Nestlé Australia switches to 100% renewable electricity
Wind to help power the company’s Net Zero Roadmap
Favourite Aussie brands including KitKat, Milo, Allen’s, Nescafé, Uncle Tobys and Purina pet food will now be made at factories where 100% of the electricity is sourced from wind power.
The move comes as Nestlé Australia announces it is now switching to 100% renewable electricity, four years ahead of its global target of 2025.
The company has partnered with CWP Renewables to make its first renewable power purchase agreement (PPA), bringing the company one step closer to reducing its net emissions by 50% by 2030 and achieving net zero by 2050.
The 10-year agreement covers Nestlé’s six Australian factories, two distribution centres, three corporate offices, 20 retail boutiques, and laboratory.
CWP Renewables’ Crudine Ridge and Sapphire wind farms in NSW will generate enough electricity to cover the electricity used across Nestlé’s sites each year – the equivalent of powering approximately 19,000i households per year.
The switch to 100% renewable electricity in Australia will mean Nestlé will avoid around 73,000ii tonnes of carbon emissions each year.
90
Of course, it won’t be 100% “renewables”.
It will be an accounting trick just like they use for Canberra.
The simple test for if they run on renewables or not is, if there is no sun or wind and the battery (if any) is flat, do they still get power?
Also, if it were truly 100% renewables there would be no need for a connection to the grid, just connections to the wind, solar and battery (if any) plantations.
230
How do they separate the replaceable power form the permanent power, is there a filter.
80
Don’t know how they seperate the power source. I know my shire council proudly spends more of the rate payers dollars to buy “green” electricity, meanwhile other things like roads or reducing rates can just whistle in the wind!

Nestlé, the company that poisoned Flint, Michigan, stole their clean water, and “switched the city’s water supply from one of the largest and cleanest water supplies in the world to the highly corrosive Flint River”

Microsoft Is Dedicated To Building A Dodgy New Database Of Every Windows 11 User’s Online Behaviors

I can’t wait until I make the move to Linux.
I recently got a new laptop and had no choice but to get Win 11 and I absolutely hate it and its constant popups and “suggestions” and spying, even though I have disabled as much of the “features” and AI as possible.
70
I will shortly need a newer computer – desktop. Mine is almost 8 years old, and the support ends in, IIRC, October ’25.
I don’t have the skills of many here, so will look for a Linux one – like DM, I do not want another MS Windows.
But, frankly, I have a fear of the unknown, and no confidence in being able to get started.
Can anyone recommend a good 101 guide?
Thanks,

For the purpose of trialling it, you can try Linux Mint which you can download to a USB stick for free and run on your Windows PC and it won’t change anything. Linux Mint is designed to be similar in look and feel to Windows. Make sure you back up critical data in any case.
I plan to do that but haven’t yet done so.
Also, many people I know, including some commercial organisations, will stick with Windows 10 even after support finishes and will rely on third party antivirus programs to keep them safe after that.
100
Yep, W11 sucks without serious debloating and tweaking. W7 was the best OS ever.
However, NO OS will protect you online.
Every call, every email, every social media site, every site visited can be monitored, traced and stored and the internet backbones are in the USA, home of the trustworthy NSA…
Note: W10 support will continue but on a paid basis.

I use Linux Mint and have done for about 7-8 years and I find it very easy to use. There are 3 versions that you can use depending on your hardware specifications. I use the Cinnamon version. Just be aware that it will not natively run any windows applications. The installation process is very simple if you do decide to fully install after testing it from a USB. Linux uses a different file system to Windows, Windows uses the “NTFS” file system whereas Linux uses the “Ext 4” file system. There is a huge official app store for you to download from and use, all for free.
I use the Cinnamon version on my latest PC but it also ran, although a bit slowly on my old Dell Optiplex 755 which was made around 2010.

Thanks for great info. Got curious and went into account to find I’m on version 11 which probably explains a number of odd experiences the chief one being the flight mode option. Thought this started out as a safety thang for when you fly so your puter wont kaputer the plane. My standard action is close down web connection hit flight mode to work off-line or close down the puter for the night or when going to be off for a while. When I fire up again and opt for weather option this brings up forecast page via BING despite fact that I haven’t disengaged flight mode! Ive also tried direct and put in flight mode then tried bing and up it comes (Im normally via Brave). Safety compromised for travellers?

Recently I bought a laptop which came with the option to downgrade it to Windows 10 at the outset notwithstanding support ends in October this year; and yes, I opted for that little bit of autonomy which win10 still offers.

Climate scientists who want to try to terraform/geoengineer the climate of earth have the same blinders on as virologists who want to modify viruses through gain of function in order to create vaccines. They have a total lack of ability to see anything beyond the first order effects that they wish to create, and have no concern whatsoever about unintended consequences.

Remembering how cold, wet and windy it was in the south of England in early December the last thing they need is to reflect the sunlight away. In the two weeks we were there we had a glimmer of sun the day we arrived and no more until the day we drove to LGW for our flight to Spain.
They’ve gone mad there, thanks to Microbrain and co; we’re heading the same way here.
60
So they want to tamper with and destroy nature in order to protect the environment. Do these insidious numbskulls have no self awareness or are they so drunk with power they don’t care that their plans are being revealed anymore?
Climate change is yet another fake “disaster” they’ve invented in which their “solution” will produce an actual, real disaster. Tampering with how much sunlight reaches the earth, what could POSSIBLY go wrong!!!
We actually have evidence to show that blocking sunlight will absolutely wreck the planet, just search “year without a summer” which was caused by a massive volcanic eruption that blocked the sun and essentially prevented crops from growing in the northern hemisphere and lead to huge famine.

The BBC sacked all scientists who disagreed with Greta, and replaced them with environ mental activists who are described as the ‘best scientific experts’. These experts support injecting aerosols into the atmosphere or brightening clouds to reflect sunshine away from the nations solar panel farms.
Meanwhile in the last three months, Britain has experienced runaway climate change. Professor Mark Symes, expects to stop the climate from changing by September providing a temporary brake on rising global temperatures until at least January of 2026, when global warming is expected to restart when the small controlled outdoor experiments end.

Those scientific activities in the academy of Lagado which Gulliver witnessed on his travels are under serious challenge by today’s climate crowd; Swift was being recognisably satirical, lord alone knows by what today’s climate practitioners are motivated.

I must say, I am disappointed that the TRUMP effect hasn’t caught on in other Western countries.
Just as the United States is returning to reason, common sense, freedom, anti-censorship, pro-energy, traditional morality, cutting Government waste and regulations etc. the woke countries of the world such as Australia, Canada and Western Europe are becoming even more insanely taxed, regulated and controlled.
There appears to have been no spillover whatsoever.

Such is the power of the opinion-shapers who own the corporate mainstream media, the big-tech social media, the big corporations and the governments.

The Trump Effect has given Labor a boost and should see them over the line comfortably, according to Exit Polls.

Trumps every action is spun as (insert pejorative) in the MSM so the average person does not see it as a desired state. Trump blabbering about Canada has probably hurt Poilievre’s chances, aparently the Donald couldnt keep his mouth shut long enough to help a friendly government come to pass. The message may have gotten through as he has been quiet on that front lately.

As the mass slaughter in Gaza continues, a conservative asks “What would Jesus do?”.

The Hamas terrorists started it on October 7th, 2023 with the mass murder of 1200 Israeli civilians plus, rape and torture of those and others plus 240 hostages taken.
No nation on earth except Israel is expected to not respond to such an atrocity.
All the Hamas terrorists have to do is return the hostages and it will be all over.

Palestinian Authority’s Abbas Calls Hamas ‘Sons Of Dogs’ & Demands Release Of Hostages In Fiery Speech
Political fractures on the Palestinian side have become more and more public as the Gaza war persists.
On Wednesday Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas issued a strong declaration demanding that Hamas release all remaining Israeli captives in order to prevent Israel from using “an excuse” to continue destroying Palestinian homes and waging war in the Gaza Strip.
In the unexpected statement, Abbas went so far as to call Hamas militants “sons of dogs”. He said while chairing a Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) Central Council meeting in the West Bank city of Ramallah, “You sons of dogs, hand over what you have and get us out of this. Don’t give Israel an excuse. Don’t give them an excuse.”
“Every day there are hundreds of deaths. Why? They don’t want to hand over the US hostage,” Abbas said, as cited in regional media. This was in reference to US-Israeli captive Adi Alexander. His family has been imploring President Trump to help gain his release. Alexander was born and raised in New Jersey.
Abbas highlighted that Israel sees itself as justified in erasing Palestinian identity so long as the hostage crisis continues. Fifty-nine hostages, living and dead, remain in the Gaza Strip. Abbas urged Hamas to hand over the hostages in order to “be done with it.”

Wow, you responded within seven minutes!
Are you sure you read everything? … Is it your job to patrol the comments?
Now, your second sentence it just wrong: everyone I know expected Israel to respond, that includes me.
But when revenge has been inflicted 40 times over, based on the respective death tolls, why is it necessary to kill more civilians?
Does calling women and children “human shields” justify killing them?
All the hostages could have been returned by now. It’s obvious what the mutually acceptable terms were: the Trump-Witkoff imposed ceasefire deal agreed in January was as good as identical to the terms offered in May last year.
Trump has walked away from enforcing it. He claims to want to “stop the killing” … but he only meant Ukraine, apparently … Though he has the power to do more.
Instead, he’s letting the guy with more Arab blood on his hands than any of his fellow countrymen, past or present — have a free hand to kill more Arab civilians with impunity … and with American-paid-for munitions.
Trump’s peacemaker ‘halo’ is false.

“You believe in a book that has talking animals, wizards, witches, demons, sticks turning into snakes, burning bushes, food falling from the sky, people walking on water, and all sorts of magical, absurd and primitive stories, and you say that we are the ones that need help?”

Custer’s point isn’t dependent on the bible being the truth. His comment is aimed at those who are Christian and are supporting Israel’s action.
If he was using Jesus’ example to convince you then the bible being truth or not would matter.
However, as a Christian I can support Israel’s actions. Even if the article tries to portray it as not what Jesus would do.
Using Jesus as an example of how we should act would mean when someone tries to kill/crucify us then we just accept it as God’s plan and don’t fight back.
We know that the Israeli’s have been quite careful in their attempts to get hostages back and defeat Hamas. Yes, there is collateral damage. That’s on Hamas.
The Israeli’s would live peacefully if that was possible.
It’s funny how collateral damage has not broadly mattered in many conflicts. But it apparently does when it’s the Jews.

Yes, but “what would Zeus do?” has the same value.
More people have been killed in the nane of religion than any other cause.
Deep seated hate and intolerance to non-believers of any faith will only end when religions cease to exist.
If the punishment for non-believers for any faith is hell, and as everyone only believes in one faith, then logically everyone’s going to hell.
Only dogs go to heaven.😁
I wonder if Noah’s wooden ark took on 2 woodpeckers and 2 beavers..
10
What would Zeus do doesn’t have the same value in Custer’s argument because it’s aimed at Christians.
What would Zeus do has the same value if the argument was aimed at Atheists.
Lots of people have been killed over religious matters. That doesn’t make religion bad per se. It just shows people can be.
Lots of people have been killed by those who opposed religion too.
So where does that leave us? Every option is bad?
As for the “logic” that everyone is going to hell, except dogs. There’s no logic in the premise that everyone only believes in one faith.
00
I do have the numbers btw..
Why does anyone need to follow any religion in order to do good deeds?
Psychological child abuse (scary stories about burning in hell for eternity if you don’t believe) is the basis for religions, indoctrinating them before the age of reason.
The universe is 13.82 billion years old (maybe 26 I know),
Age of Earth is 4.54 billion years
Age of mankind is 200,000 years
Age of God concept is 10,000 years
Age of mother God is 8,000 years
Age of the Hinduism is 6,000 years
Age of Zoroastrianism is 4,000 years
Age of Judaism is 4,000 years
Age of Jainism is 2,600 years
Age of Buddhism is 2,600 years
Age of Confucianism is 2,500 years
Age of Taoism is 2,400 years
Age of Christianity is 2,000 years
Age of Islam is 1,200 years
Age of Sikhism 400 years
Age of shiridi Sai baba cult is 100 years.
Various Gods are created by man at various periods.
So God is man’s creation.

Religion has had its time.
This is supposed to be the scientific age not the superstitious one.
00
People don’t need to follow a religion to do good deeds. No one I know, religious or not, thinks that is the case. Not sure why you would pose that question.
It’s not child abuse if it’s true. But there is the question. Is it true.
It’s also not child abuse because a child doesn’t need to worry going to hell. No one needs to worry about it. I don’t know any Christians who worry about it. If you’re an atheist then maybe you should worry about it. But if you truly don’t believe in Heaven or Hell then you don’t need to worry.
So basically, no one needs to worry about it.
Carl Sagan doesn’t want to see the evidence. To me, there is more evidence of the Creation theory than say the big bang. Which is why I believe what I do. It’s not some blind faith.
The big bang theory is not really science.

Global amyloidogenic health disaster with Dr Kevin McCairn
Last month, in a presentation given to Health Alliance Australia, systems neuroscientist Dr. Kevin McCairn discussed his analysis of the unusual fibrous white clots retrieved from deceased, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein which is in the covid “vaccines.”
Dr. McCairn’s laboratory offers tests to detect amyloid burden through blood samples. Ninety per cent of blood sent to Dr. McCairn has the spike protein-induced amyloidogenic peptides. It is very concerning that clots taken from the body of the deceased still contain prions with a very strong signal months after they have been removed from the body; there are severe implications for public health, particularly concerning infected blood used for transfusions.
His latest laboratory findings and research have revealed a global amyloidogenic health disaster, where misfolded fibrin (protein) is causing multi-organ dysfunction, neurodegeneration, cancer, heart disease and other health issues.

John Connor II,
Since you’re in good form today, and the server problems stopped me responding to you yesterday, I’ll give it a go now.
Yesterday you quoted an article that used a flywheel as an analogy for human progress. Here’s part of what you quoted:
It seems the author has no idea of how flywheels store energy. It’s nothing like the exponential growth he’s trying to explain. Each doubling of a flywheel’s speed takes a quadrupling of the energy input. Each additional rpm is *harder* to achieve than the one before.
You went on to say:
Ironic, because the analogy *is* pretty good for this. How much more energy has been sunk into AI recently, and how little progress. Still good for pretty pictures, nice sounding words and wrong answers.
20
Ok, the flywheel wasn’t a good example but we all see where the author was going.
The only good example of technological non-linear dynamics I can think if is AI itself.
Lol.
Maybe you have a better analogy?
The computing power used to train AI has increased by a factor of 350 million is just 13 years.
Little progress?
I track AI developments every day and the advances are just amazing.
Truly exponential growth not linear like the early personal computer age was, we’ve now exceeded Moore’s law.
It took 4 years to go from the 8086 to the 80286 and a decade after that for the first Pentium cpu.
AI outperformed humans in language, maths and reasoning tasks back in 2023.
You want to be top dog in AI, you’re going to spend tens of billions and use huge amounts of energy and resources in R&D.
The products themselves however are becoming smaller, way more efficient and with major drops in energy requirements.
This is of course the relative “dawn” of AI so everything’s clutzy (ChatGPT et al)for now but don’t kid yourself – the rate of development makes the pc age look stationary.
10
I agree that AI is progressing fast.
This is an exchange to prove m point. I was discussing precession and got to the point of writing:

I have no inside knowledge or strong feeling about the likely election result however watching interviews with people from polling firms and political parties the impressions I gained include;
* The soft vote of undecided voters sits at 25-30% consistently since the date of the election was announced.
* Labor has been recently spending a lot of money and time obviously protecting many “safe” Labor seats. Normally they would be targeting for new wins.
* Labor is desperate or was to keep their Alliance arrangement plan with the Greens away from general public knowledge. Why?
