Currently learning Dioxus (0.7.7) & Rust for hobby projects and loving it. Learning curve is a bit steep, but background experience in Next/Vite/Js/Ts/React helps a lot. Just to prove that the Rust language is a good fit for everyone, I am tackling this new challenge aged 80+. #dioxus #rust

#auspol Anzac Day. The day of the year when we Australians remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice to defend our unique way of life, while regretting that our current 'leader' lacks the moral fibre needed to resist rogue forces hellbent on destroying that very lifestyle in the name of profit.

#auspol #AgedCare If anyone needs another compelling reason to avoid (if possible) ever going into residential aged-care, surely this must be it... hellocare.com.au/australias-l...

#auspol #agedcare This is a result of the Albanese govt addiction to secrecy taken to extremes. This assessment algorithm should be in the public domain so that we may know the basis of any decisions that affect our right to services that affect our very existence. hellocare.com.au/ombudsman-in...

Hey Sam Rae Minister for the aged, @australianlabor.bsky.social assessment of patients using an algorithm that cannot be overturned is pure fucking psychopath. You should resign your position #Auspol

Regulation gone Mad! Visited Bunnings to get some hacksaw blades. Young joker manning the checkout asked me if I was over 18, despite my grey hair, wheelly-walker, and obvious over-80 appearance. Hacksaw blades are now categorized as bladed tools that can no longer be sold to under 18's!

From the River Torrens to Glenelg.

#auspol #AgedCare There is an interesting doco named "Careless" currently running on Netflix. It highlights the plight of aged Australians as a result of "care" privatisation since the Hawke/Keating era with progressive degrading in the name of profit during the Howard, Morrison, & Albanese eras.

#auspol #Aged-Care The Govt is perpetuating the "Wealthy Boomer" myth to justify aged-care funding cuts - even though 26% of Australians over 65 are renting and therefore unlikely to own significant assets. hellocare.com.au/government-i...

#auspol Geez I wish Australian🙄 Govts would employ some competent web designers. Just applied for a postal vote in upcoming SA election. No option to enter date of birth using keyboard. Had to click a 'month-back' button over 960 times to select my birth-date during WW2. Age discrimination? 🙄

#auspol #ABC24 Dear ABC news readers. The word 'listen' is an intransitive verb, not a noun. No point in telling your audience to take a listen.

Hi from Bambi and Bella. Much too hot to venture outside today so we are relaxing inside near the aircon. (45 degrees C = 113 degrees F)

#auspol Witnessed some very un-Australian behavior at my local Bunnings this morning. Guy in front of me in the checkout queue was buying a Starlink kit.

Warning: "brushing" scam! Received unsolicited gift of 6 WIFI "security" cameras ex China. No name on package, just address. Activating any of them (they contain a charged battery) would have exposed my WIFI router (& any attached devices) to 4 dubious Chinese websites www.mcafee.com/blogs/tips-t...

#auspol The sky is very dark where I live this Sunday morning and the gloom is compounded by the realization that there is no Sunday Shot episode on today.

#Caturday The perils facing cats outdoors. This is Bambi (aka "Her Royal Heaviness", aged 6 shown with a 12 x 1 cm twig that was found almost fully embedded under her belly skin today (thankfully no blood). She had escaped outside, climbed onto the roof, and jumped into a tree.

#auspol Aged care Support At Home offers taxpayer savings by allowing people to remain in their homes longer rather than moving into institutions. But recent changes have mandated service co-payments that are unaffordable for many pensioners. Please sign this petition: www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/...

#auspol Now what was that claim about improved transparency? hellocare.com.au/government-b...

#auspol Recall how our current government claimed credit for early release of 20000 aged care Support at Home packages (after being pressured to do so)? The hidden detail is that many of these were funded to an "interim" value of only 60%. ETA for the remaining 40% unknown.

#auspol Geez! Trying to engage a Support At Home aged care provider as a potential new client (with package funds ready to hand over) is now like trying to deal with Centrelink! Have left emails & phone messages with several in the past week & they are just not returning calls.

#auspol Aged care recipients can potentially stretch their Support At Home funds by administering some of the process themselves. BUT... hellocare.com.au/self-managin...

#auspol So hospital funding will be cut now, despite the impact on them of the aged care cuts? "Hospitals will bear the brunt, with premature admissions to residential care, which is far more expensive, becoming inevitable". What value that little green card now? hellocare.com.au/the-aged-car...

#AusPol Aged Care Support At Home, "The government deliberately prioritized political expediency over equitable funding, shifting the financial strain onto the vulnerable". "it is a bear trap disguised as a stepping stone". hellocare.com.au/albanese-cam...

Why are we members of the "aging" full-pensioner cohort - who will be significantly financially disadvantaged by these July 1st "aged care" changes - blocked from replying to this post?
