It wasn't super difficult, and was quite fun. I'm not a cryptography person and have zero knowledge of ciphers or anything like this, but a friend and I saw it and thought it'd be fun to give it a shot. We shared ideas but pretty much solved each puzzle ourselves in different ways (which was interesting to see in itself). The hidden 5th puzzle was both the hardest to get going on (due to no hints compared to the othe…

Australia has been blatantly violating the privacy of its citizens increasingly over the last 2 decades. Its surveillance legislation is unrivaled in developed countries except for perhaps the UK.
Weird, that's about the same amount of time it's been since they steamrolled all of their guns in the street.
Australians supported handing in our guns after Port Arthur, Australians that want to engage in firearm use for sport, hunting, antique collection or pest control can all still do so within appropriate circumstances that the public overwhelmingly support.
Low hanging fruit, moronic, pro-gun sentiment only shows how little you understand about the country you are talking about.
(Not an endorsement for the Aus 3-Letters spying, which is a different issue.)

Usually such a comment is a reference to a certain American media mogul who has tried to swing several recent elections and found themselves largely preaching to the choir with a very much reduced audience. But their miss rate is now exceedingly high: 2022 federal miss. 2022 SA miss. 2020 Qld miss. 2019 federal hit. 2018 Vic miss. In fact, the people in charge in Australia are basically the voters. It upsets some peo…
American media mogul? Murdoch is from Australia.
So, he is not (anymore) an Australian.

That’s right, because if I had a gun I’d be taking it to parliament to demand that they stop [something]! And [something] would surely be different as a result!

"Find out who Murdoch wants you to vote for, then vote the opposite way."
They really would like for us not to think its being solved by a 14 y.o. the same morning is a debacle. But it is.
Breaking custom encryption is dead in any country smaller than say, the UK or maybe Canada.

Right, one can't but helped to have noticed how remarkably quickly that legislation passed. ...And it did so without a squawk! Edit, it sort of proves my point, doesn't it?
From the standpoint of someone who did not agree with that legislation or the subsequent follow on changes that pulled on even more… and several less internationally noticed little legal things… We squawked, as loudly as we could, but it made no difference, because they went and did it anyway. So it wasn’t even a strangled squawk, but a completely ignored squawk. It really doesn’t help that we have very few constitut…
