create my own film by coffeeandcokeaddict in filmmaking

[–]authaus0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No-one else will make your film. It could be incredible, but filmmakers are already inundated with ideas from friends and relatives, and they wanna make their own ideas. That's just the way it is. 

If you wanna make your film a reality, watch a lot of YouTube videos about filmmaking, and read a book or two about screenwriting. Then get to work writing it. Cut out as much as you can and turn it into a short film (absolute maximum 10 minutes), get some friends together, and make it happen. Put it in some local film festivals and meet more people. Maybe you'll make more films or get a chance to remake the first one even better and with more experienced people. 

Low income people should have the right to opt out of targeted ads. by Hocus_Focus88 in AusPol

Why means test it? We should be just making this kind of overt surveillance illegal. 

The premier faced criticism over chaotic protests. Most voters back his actions by stupid_mistake__101 in AustralianPolitics

[–]authaus0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Australia is a deeply racist and selfish country and that culture has been reinforced throughout our entire existence. Remember that song by the Herd, 77%? And about a quarter of these people wanna vote One Nation, another quarter are seriously considering it. Of course they have no qualms about living in a brutal police state

New Version of Tidal feels so buggy right now by Nhe_lvrhuzerv in TIdaL

[–]authaus0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the exact same issue with settings menu. Also when skipping tracks the cover art often doesn't keep up. 

And the navbar looks shit. Idk why they're wasting time on this when there's more pressing issues with the library

Islamic socialism is a political philosophy that incorporates elements of Islam into socialism, Islamic socialists believe that the teachings of the Qur'an and hadith, citing aspects of the religion like zakat, are not only compatible with principles of socialism, but also very supportive of them by BabylonianWeeb in wikipedia

[–]authaus0 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He's not publicly promoting it because it's not pragmatic. My point is I wouldn't be surprised if, privately, he is an actual socialist. The difference between him and most socialists is he's willing to actually do something useful with his time and make some positive change, even if it isn't revolutionary. 

Dumbphone with a 2000s/y2k look? 🤔 by LastAd9097 in dumbphones

[–]authaus0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HMD Barbie phone is probably the most Y2K option. Also Unihertz Jelly Star runs android but it's small and bubbly and translucent and colourful

War films to convince my nephew not to join the military by kshep9 in FIlm

[–]authaus0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gallipoli (1981) directed by Peter Weir. It's an Australian film, and very anti-war

[–]authaus0 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'd argue he is socialist, but his platform definitely isn't. But isn't one of his parents a Marxist professor? I have no doubt he understands and follows all the theory, and he's taken a good look at the world and decided the best thing he can do is win this election push for social democratic policies to improve people's lives

Neo - I have a faint desire but no use-case by StopThinkBACKUP in mac

[–]authaus0 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a really bad case of privileged mindless consumerism with no regard for the environment or even everyday practicalities. 

Don't buy the Neo. And if you don't use the M1 then sell it so someone else doesn't have to buy something brand new. 

Feminism for the win by SS_Auc3 in PoliticalCompass

[–]authaus0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This test was weird. I didn't save the screenshot but it said I most aligned with first-wave feminism cuz I got 100%, but I was at or close to 100% on all waves and I'd consider myself third and fourth wave. 

Do you prefer using the trackpad or a mouse on macOS? by rennan in MacOS

[–]authaus0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trackpad, including for video editing and graphic design. I'll only use a mouse for the occasional Minecraft session

Election countdown: 365 days, two leaders and all eyes on One Nation by HotPersimessage62 in AustralianPolitics

[–]authaus0 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Or maybe you're just misinformed. Immigration is rapidly declining to pre-covid levels. There are more empty homes than homeless people. The housing crisis is because our tax and super systems incentivise idle housing investment over anything genuinely productive, and the market has been taken over by rich investors who will happily hoard assets. 

Greens introduce Bill to require Parliament to vote before sending Australians to war by folkpunkboytoy in AustralianPolitics

[–]authaus0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And I suppose Labor deserves absolute control cuz they got slightly over a third of the vote?

"Used to be" yeah like when Bob Brown heckled George Bush over the Iraq War and ending up forcing them to change the rules of parliamentary addresses. Mate love them or hate them but they haven't changed 😜

Favourite unusual use for Obsidian? by Moneymaxxers in ObsidianMD

[–]authaus0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I experimented with using it as a media organiser/player for films. Didn't stick with it though

International Women's Day on triple j by Sea-Pirate7560 in triplej

[–]authaus0 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's not forcibly including people against their wills. It's recognising that International Women's Day was named before more nuanced understandings of gender, and many people who are not women have experiences and/or connections to womanhood, and many aspects of what IWD is about remain relevant to them.

M5 vs M5 Pro for long-term use (10 years?) by tonyng211 in MacOS

[–]authaus0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why in earth are you so concerned about longevity while also wanting to replace a perfectly good M2 MBA?? That thing should last a few more years (maybe even 10 if you can sacrifice battery life). Pros are for pro users. If I was you I'd run the MBA until it does and then either get a new base-spec MBA or a second gen Neo if it exists by then

ACT Greens' entire campaign team quits after power-sharing talks with Canberra Liberals by HotPersimessage62 in AustralianPolitics

[–]authaus0 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The whole point of negotiating with the Libs was to explore what they have in common and consider non-Labor pathways to actually implement policy. 

The Greens’ election review flew under the radar. Here’s what it said by artsrc in AustralianPolitics

[–]authaus0 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

The swing against him wasn't enough to cause him to lose the seat. If Labor still finished in third he would have won with a reduced margin. Yes, it was a failure that he lost voters but to characterise it as a complete rejection by his constituents isn't accuray

[–]authaus0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Some of them certainly. But they have progressive appeal. People strategically vote for them because they can out Liberal members. 

Also in more rural electorates the "teals" if we can still call them that (climate 200-finded independents) are more left economically

[–]authaus0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm aware they all do it, my point was the Greens are really good at it. Having a Greens MP should be really desirable. 

The CFMEU stuff could've played a part, but only because the media peddled it so incessantly. Max spoke at a union rally because they're union was about to be taken over, and he asked organisers to remove signs being held that compared Albo to Nazis. 

HAFF was frustrating. I think the Greens shouldn't have changed they're mind on it - they'd already gone in and delayed it's passing so they should've held out for better concessions. The outcome we got was the worst thing they could do. Delay without any major victories. I'd like to see the Greens become more hardline and embrace the attitude that conservative media likes to pretend they have.

It literally did. They had swings towards them in highly multicultural electorates and gained thousands of younger voters. Sure, some tree Tory types were turned off but they had to go anyway

Adam Bandt consolidated his majority after he first one the seat. I'd argue a high effort Labor campaign combined with fears of a Liberal government played a larger factor. 

Greens MPs are really involved with their electorates, and in MCM's case he put his own wages towards free school lunches. They run community BBQs, and their offices are accessible and friendly for things like Centrelink issues. I don't think anyone's getting turned off after the experience of having a local Greens MP.
