But then the whack-a-mole game continues, and you're constantly having to find new extensions to serve the same task. When you could simply switch to firefox, deal with the very minor growing pains, and keep using uBlock with no problems whatsoever.

I agree, but I think his closing statement says more about his position than anything else. "Losers fight battles that are already lost, winners look for new battlegrounds." Which I agree with, it's pessimistic to say that mining corps have won. But it's true. Labor will need to move to 'new battlegrounds' to have any chance, the example provided was the Future Made in Australia proposal. Jordie helped me connect the dots that THIS is the new battleground. Government owned industry in the next advancement of infrastructure/electricity.

Informative video into the history of trying to tax the mining industry in Australia, and the extensive lobbying and media control that the mining industry has. Would love to know your opinions on this.

Looks great. I would love to run this, but I live in the middle of Woop Woop so I'm not sure how crucial any data I collect would be.

The single greatest policy any pollie could ever implement would be proper taxation on gas/mining/oil companies. Completely absurd, but not surprising at all to me that it isn't in effect though, with Murdoch media and all. Imagine how great this country could be if we had Norway levels of taxation on mineral assets.

I've spent a fair bit of time in Denmark, small population with fewer news sources makes thing spread VERY quickly. Not to mention, they are very patriotic. I'll ask some Danish friends about it and report back.

Exactly. LLM's assisting people in writing soul-sucking corporate drivel is a good thing, I hope this changes the public perception on the umbrella of 'formal office writing'. (including: internal emails, job applications etc.) So much time-wasting bullshit to form nothing productive.

Not sure about multi track but check out soulseek, more specifically Nicotine+ for FLACs
