    If a person uses a free online photo editor program does the person retain full ownership / copyright protections of the photo?   Even though it may permanently exist on the cloud?   Do these editors also strip out the GPS data embedding in the picture?

    I don't store anything on the cloud, only on devices. But you might want to check T&C's carefully for anything free and online.

    You can strip exit data from photos with a lot of applications, should be easy to find on that suits you.

    Edit: I was being too blunt here explaining something that people could get offended by feeling i was attacking them personally so am removing.

    Don't feel like I'll be offended if that's who you're referring to, I tried very hard to word my response so as not to upset anyone personally, hopefully that is evident. I think it's good to challenge ideas and this is a fairly small group so we can be honest and not worry too much about trolls etc.

     


  3. I don't see the connection between mandatory vaccines and the US Election.

    Which hearing are you talking about? Borders are open now and people are freely moving, apart from some restrictions for areas like Sydney. The Australian government has done nothing but say how the states should be opening up faster, so it's not adding up. 

     

    Yes, there will probably be digital health records; in a perfect world we would use them for big data analysis to solve a lot of medical problems but you're probably right in that it's more like the data will be used to sell you products. This is long term, not short term though, and you can't resist some.changes. I'm not saying all changes are good changes, but over the last 50 years, how many things that were considered the work of the devil have been? 

    It's pretty much standard for all data to be managed by big IT companies, or would you rather have your data managed by our incompetent governments who can't even keep a simple webpage operational in a lot of cases?

  4. If I was you, I'd go with something like obtusifolia instead. Longifolia is not a species that consistent produces the goods, and it has potential to become weedy in your area.

    I had success with phyllodes cut in November, got oily substance that was extremely powerful and pungent, but that is definitely not most people's experience.

    Thanks for the advice. I don't suppose you have any useful links to making alcohol tinctures? 

    I have no idea whether this is a good tek, never tried it. I think it if was me, I'd probably do it without the heat, just leave them in for a long time in the fridge, maybe with a pinch of citric acid, then if it needed reducing, I'd probably let that happen without heat also.

    It's tricky, this being alive business, innit?

  7. Southern Sydney - free trees available to pickup only.

    One narrow and one red, most branches removed for easy handling, rootballs attached.

    I live down in the shire next to the royal national park. You'd probably want to hurry as I posted this on the SAB FB page also.

    Send me a message if you're interested. The branches and leaves are all available for pickup too.

  8. I'm trying not to get caught up in the whole pageant that's going on as we speak, it is entertainment of a sort.

    It looks likely that Trump is probably dumped, but now is when he gets dangerous. I wonder how fast the rats will escape his ship and try to save themselves, or if they will ransack the treasury til the bitter end?...probably both.

    A civil war would be very one sided. Rednecks and their pop-guns can't stop tanks or drones with hypersonic missles.

    You seem to have missed the fact that lately, the US has only deployed military force against BLM protesters and left leaning cities. Not against the militias...
