(I can&#39;t speak for aged care, except that I&#39;ve heard it&#39;s significantly worse).<br/><br/>There is *not* a high standard of care for vulnerable people in Australian hospitals. <br/><br/>If you can eat alone, shower yourself, and remember your own important information, the health care you receive will be very good. <br/><br/>If you can&#39;t do those things, you&#39;re fucked without a family member. <br/><br/>During a period when my Dad could not move or remember where he was, we had to fight for the most basic care. <br/><br/>Daily, I saw him:<br/><br/>- without food because it was dleiverd but there was no one to open it for him, bring it to him, or feed him (he couldn&#39;t use a spoon). <br/><br/>- without pain medication, because he forgot how to use the button and no one checked on him<br/><br/>- without any kind of body washing (because he needed to use a hoist and they almost never had three people on shift to use it, and because he&#39;d ask for the hoist, some nurse would write down that he&#39;d shower later, so he didn&#39;t even get a sponge bath)<br/><br/>- without his teeth brushed (for two weeks before we found out) because they just assume you&#39;re doing that, but the visiting hours are short and no one tells you, and he couldn&#39;t access the sink himself. 2026-03-21T02:03:03Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsghjzs79x5h0am5ucvryrahpelv8mxjl775n57qa2hdsfl3kf6nrqzyzd2rgvlu25h4mnykxj23ac07xa8nnn9ufcxd4eyfcm7fsuj06ets4g83wg This seems a topic of the moment.<br/><br/>My parents are OK right now, but I had a year of care after my Dad got in a car accident. <br/><br/>People talk a lot about the difficulties of caring, but it seems to mostly revolve around the time, money and drudgery of it. The difficulty of dealing with insults, moods, and abuse (especially where there is a history of it) tends to go quietly unsaid.<br/><br/>The image of the martyred, loving, patient daughter hides a lot of complexity.

Olive and lemon and pomegranate trees are standard front yard staples, backyards are very often mostly made up of veggie beds, and there are plenty of permaculture-ish &#34;nature strips&#34; or verges. A lot of the weeds are edible too, and people collect them (mallow leaf, nettle, wild fennel). <br/><br/>Less in the rural areas as you head north, because farms. Then in Albury and the towns in Southern NSW it starts up again, but the vegetable patches are smaller and there are fewer olive trees. <br/><br/>Canberra seems to be getting more into veggie beds since I left in 2009, but the weather there isn&#39;t super kind to water-and-warmth loving annuals. <br/><br/>Cabramatta, where the dominant culture is Vietnamese, is back to the Melbourne-ish gardening. Different plants due to weather and culture, but every little space is used.<br/><br/>In Newcastle it&#39;s hard to find any real evidence of food gardening at all. I suppose it&#39;s more British, historically? The weather would be great for it, if you could handle the rain. Mangoes grow here! There are a few little community gardens in the hipper areas, but none of the visible margin-gardening I&#39;m used to at home. <br/><br/>I&#39;m not saying I fully understand what&#39;s going on exactly, but the difference is clear. <br/><br/>#gardening #culture 2025-11-29T01:54:19Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsvc5x554xfdu2f7spvdv6y6gzhw3kr705j42ade5e4mleetxweumczyzd2rgvlu25h4mnykxj23ac07xa8nnn9ufcxd4eyfcm7fsuj06ets8aetgz I don&#39;t think I&#39;ll ever understand the sort of person who holds people in contempt for not knowing something, or not sharing their interest in something. <br/><br/>Contempt and disdain should be reserved for people who harm others.

In 2022 women who were 45-50 (so born around 1972-77) who were childless was 16.5%. <br/><br/>It&#39;s not a straight line, but it went *down* not up, overall.

They are not the same thing. And hearing that it&#39;s education and economic freedom that lead to childlessness. <br/><br/>Historically, in lots of places and at various times, childlessness among women has been higher than it is now.<br/><br/>Because of poverty. Because of a lack of men (wars). Because of a lack of health care. And for (probably) the same number as today, a lack of interest among a fairly small cohort of women.<br/><br/>In some places, and at various times, *lower* education and incomes have been more closely associated with childlessness. This the case right now in some places.<br/><br/>Because kids are expensive. Because women with low incomes and poor education are more likely to have been (historically and now in some places) working in other people&#39;s houses and unable to marry. Because poorer women can&#39;t access IVF and other fertility care. Because poorer men are more likely to be in military service or incarcerated.<br/><br/>#childless 2025-06-16T13:15:22Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsvyr0pxg2phr95erkku8zd0mezvmfhguc7l0dyd3tqf4unq46y8yszyzd2rgvlu25h4mnykxj23ac07xa8nnn9ufcxd4eyfcm7fsuj06etstfq6ws I will be doing some googling and homework of my own, but does anyone here know if something that shows up as &#34;org.openoffice.script&#34; on iOS is malware?<br/><br/>A friend got a warning from iOS about this script in her screentime app, and she&#39;s got a fucked up situation with an ex.

Such deleting messages from months ago?<br/><br/>- take a backup or export data that can be read in another format? As in, not only to rehydrate a chat on another device, but readable in another way.<br/><br/>I&#39;m aware the first thing probably isn&#39;t doable, given its the opposite of the privacy directive for signal. <br/><br/>Asking because a friend is being harassed and screwed over by an ex, and needs copies of things for legal reasons and mediation etc, and has reasonable fears all the proof she&#39;s not lying will disappear. <br/><br/>She is taking screenshots, but there&#39;s so much that it isn&#39;t a feasible option. 2025-02-07T01:34:09Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsvdru7fsj4x6v7g5qfqglt5m9c0eu6sac9kcvt4kn235chpshuqxqzyzd2rgvlu25h4mnykxj23ac07xa8nnn9ufcxd4eyfcm7fsuj06ets6gg4dw Does anyone on here work for #Autodesk, working on #autocad?<br/><br/>My partner and I have a friend who is 94 and probably your longest term user, and we wanted to see if we could talk to someone about getting him a lifetime subscription, now that he&#39;s retired (more recently than you&#39;d think) and doesn&#39;t have work access.<br/><br/>#Engineering #Cad 2025-02-05T09:34:39Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs0wc7cszmznmdlk0cze8rd0tjz9gq9wtzd8esw5amzgmgx2z4u7lgzyzd2rgvlu25h4mnykxj23ac07xa8nnn9ufcxd4eyfcm7fsuj06ets2u665l I have a relative who has had her credit card details stolen on so many occassions that we&#39;ve lost count. <br/><br/>She clicks every email link.
