[11:33 PM] folk: there's no way to enforce this regulation without actually breaking all encryption for everyone, forever

like the ability for anyone to decrypt your credit card info with no abiity to track down

which would fuck the economy entirely

yes

and directly affect the stock trading market

all their traffic is encrypted

>Governments knowing nothing
Imagine my shock

rofl

hehehe

well, it's not so long ago that the US FBI chief was trying to sell the same lamb

i didnt think the AUD was doing that great?

I linked that in breaking 6 days ago

lol

🤣

that's pretty reasonable for us

yeah, thats not too sad

you mean unlike your politicians

huh

worst was like 66 cents

well, depending on if you were a buyer/seller importer/exporter

Just wish I'd bought more shit back around 2011/2012

well .au needs both lol

Aus dollar was stronger than the US dollar

lel

Was cheaper to buy shit from the US on Amazon and ship it over

Than it was to buy it in-store here

i had someone a few years ago

paypal'ed me money and id ship him games

1) it was quicker
2) it was cheaper

yup

I did the same when I bought Adobe CS5

fucking cunts wouldn't let me buy it in the US myself (rejected my shipping address and would redirect me to the AU site where they'd charge me about 300% more FOR THE SAME PRODUCT)

So I called an Uncle and asked him to give me his shipping address

then I paid him to send it from there to me

job done 😄

Was, like $US300

or $AU1,800

was fucking ridiculous, whatever it was

I remember that much

yeah, thats stupid
