831·3 days agoHuh. Even Boeing doesn’t want to be associated with Boeing:
Boeing executives have repeatedly sought to make clear that the Starliner program operates independently from the company’s other units — including the commercial aircraft division that has been at the center of scandals for years.

I was all ready to rant about the problem of new developments being built before public transport infrastructure, but I checked the map and there are two railway lines in the vicinity!

…that said, there is a distinct lack of cycle/pedestrian infrastructure and the style of vehicle traffic makes it hostile.
Of course, the best solution to that is limiting car traffic to a single lane, no on-street parking, and a 20km/h speed limit.
Handy to have an offline translation dictionary. I’ve used QuickDic for languages I know how to type, but I notice there are a bunch of more specialised Japanese dictionary apps in F-Droid that can search by radical or OCR if you don’t type or understand the characters.

Ah, that’s good then.
In Australia you really only need a name and date of birth and ID such as a passport or driving license number of the owner. No physical or even photographic proof. Some phone companies send the original sim a notification before moving it, but no response is required and moving the number often only takes 10~30mins.
Banks in Australia commonly use sms codes as 2fa.
A large percentage (20~30%?) of adult Australians have had their ID details leaked in recent years because there are no adequately enforced security requirements or data-retention limits. One of the largest breaches was the second largest mobile phone provider…
As in “Hi PhoneCompany, I’d like a mobile plan with you. Yes, I’d like to bring my old phone number over to the new account.”
Or “Hi PhoneCompanySupport, I’m @thingsiplay and i lost my sim, plz send me a new one. BTW my new address is …”
Ideally it shouldn’t happen, but phone company security is pretty slack sometimes,
Swapping the sim associated with your phone number – from your sim to their sim.

It’s a talking-head video presentation on a well-known video publishing website.
Given your browser couldn’t show anything useful from that webpage, @kugmo@sh.itjust.works offered a solution: just feed the URL into mpv, which happens to be excellent at playing audio/video from web pages if you also have yt-dlp installed.
