I'm just waiting for my 12 month sim to expire so I can leave Optus simply because they hired Gladys Berejiklian.

And also because they're entirely complicit evil cunts. Just slightly less evil than the Dutton button.

Best of both worlds! I was already running Plex for bancamp purchases and library gaps etc anyway. Plus Qobuz connects directly to Volumio (my Raspberry Pi Hi-Fi streamer) for at-home listening.

Fuck uber, and who is this person? Wait, wait, I don't care.

How do you read any of this and think I'm on the side of the real estate agents or the hoarding of housing?

I just don't answer the phone, ever. I usually just stare at it, frozen in horror until the vibrating stops.

They can't "harass" you, but a once off call isn't that.

Found the non-Millennial! I would say all phone calls are harassment. 😋

Yeah, that is weird. I hadn't even realised.

Just discovered that the ABC has put all of Bush Tucker Man on youtube and its fabulous!

Haha, I hear ya. But also, maybe not letting me use my own money how I want is a good argument for crypto? 🤷‍♂️ But they'd happily let me gamble my money away on a sportsball, or buy Funko Pops, so who's to say what should be 'allowed'.

Is it one of those situations where they've got so much bad press as CUA, that now they operate under a different name?

Yeah, seems like a blanket rule with Up. They said:
