they don't prove impairment, they offer no benefit whatsoever and are just unnecessarily invasive - they're an attack on the public purely to appear "tough on crime"

so are any political parties going to stand up and back the science, the facts, and rule of law here?

we see you brigading, we can see your blatant down voting attempts of anything critical or factual about your lobby group pretending to be a political party, with your members oh sorry i mean employees going out of your way to manipulate perceptions.

change your name all you want, we know what you are, and who you represent.

cheers - the people who aren't paid 'influencer'/click farms/party employees

erica stanford : I SUPPORT LUXON!!! I DONT WANNA BE LEADER!!! IM NOTN TRYING TO ROLL HIM !!!!

also erica stanford : .......

how the actual FUCK does someone who CANT EVEN TALK PROPERLY get a job in FUCKING BROADCASTING!!!!!

(i know, its cos hes a right wing plant and hell say what hes told to say) but still, what happend to basic fucking linguistic standards..... aside from his fucking utter lack of any form of journalist skills

hi there, struggling with syntax here, ive mad a script to xref exit nodes against fortnite servers so that im able to counteract epics absolutely stupid matchmaking that ignores region selection

(basicly just using expressvpn protocol for better pathing)

but i've found the SF exit node has bad packet loss, fortunately for me, when the servers are west coast i can just turn off the vpn... however....seems the output of the GET command does not align with the required SET command.

i cant seem to enable / disable split tunneling

why do i need to do this? well turning off the vpn does not reliably allow winsock traversal for a split-tunnelled app even when network lock is explicitly and completely disabled.

wondering if you can tell me the correct way automate working around this :)

PS C:\Program Files\ExpressVPN> .\expressvpnctl.exe get split-app

bypass:C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Sunshine\Sunshine.lnk

vpn:C:/Program Files/Epic Games/Fortnite/FortniteGame/Binaries/Win64/FortniteClient-Win64-Shipping.exe


    PS C:\Program Files\ExpressVPN> .\expressvpnctl.exe set split-app bypass:C:/Program Files/Epic Games/Fortnite/FortniteGame/Binaries/Win64/FortniteClient-Win64-Shipping.exe

Usage: set <type> <value>

PS C:\Program Files\ExpressVPN> .\expressvpnctl.exe get split-app

bypass:C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Sunshine\Sunshine.lnk

vpn:C:/Program Files/Epic Games/Fortnite/FortniteGame/Binaries/Win64/FortniteClient-Win64-Shipping.exe


PS C:\Program Files\ExpressVPN> .\expressvpnctl.exe set split-app bypass C:/Program Files/Epic Games/Fortnite/FortniteGame/Binaries/Win64/FortniteClient-Win64-Shipping.exe

Usage: set <type> <value>

PS C:\Program Files\ExpressVPN> .\expressvpnctl.exe set split-app bypass "C:/Program Files/Epic Games/Fortnite/FortniteGame/Binaries/Win64/FortniteClient-Win64-Shipping.exe"

Usage: set <type> <value>

p.s it would be helpful if "openvpnctl get regions" had a facility for me to get the ping of the regions.

thanks :)

nact are reprehensible, performing shocking digusting actions over and over, and you're entirely ineffective at getting your message out? you could eviscerate them, but you throw away some suepr casual downlplayed criticism. why? are you idiots? are you incompetent? are you gutless? what is it?

even AI can assemble a better picture than you monkeys have managed - and thats not even including the absolutely reprehensible attacks on media impartiality that are in spirit of law illegal.

A concise summary of anti-democratic, anti-NZ actions taken by the Luxon National-ACT-NZ First coalition government:

⚖️ Constitutional & Democratic Processes

• The Fast-Track Approvals Act: Centralises immense consenting power within a small group of Cabinet ministers. Allows them to bypass traditional environmental courts and the Resource Management Act to greenlight major infrastructure and mining projects.
• Stripping Public Consultation: The fast-track legislation explicitly curtails the public's right to submit feedback or legally appeal decisions. This effectively sidelines local community voices and advocacy groups.
• Undermining Te Tiriti o Waitangi: The government has systematically rolled back Treaty of Waitangi clauses across dozens of pieces of legislation. It also advanced the highly controversial Treaty Principles Bill through a select committee despite widespread protests.
• Lobbying Transparency Failures: Watchdogs like Transparency International NZ note that NZ has dropped down global integrity indexes. This is driven by a lack of a public lobbying register and weak donation disclosure rules, especially after several fast-tracked corporate entities were revealed to be heavy donors to the coalition parties.

💰 Corporate & Wealth Interest Concessions

• Landlord Tax Deductibility: Reinstated interest tax deductibility for residential property investors. Critics label this a multi-billion dollar handout directly benefiting wealthy landlords while cutting funding for public services.
• Repealing Smokefree Legislation: The government abruptly axed the world-first "smokefree generation" law without public consultation. They did this to use tobacco tax revenues to fund tax cuts, matching goals long sought by the tobacco retail lobby.
• Scrapping Climate and Clean Energy Funds: Abolished the Decarbonising Industry fund and cancelled the NZ Battery project. Opponents argue these actions favor fossil fuel companies and agribusiness while raising long-term consumer costs.
• Eviscerating Fair Pay Agreements: One of the government's first actions was the immediate repeal of Fair Pay Agreements. This move stripped sectoral bargaining leverage away from lower-income workers to directly benefit corporate employer groups.

An exhaustive list of further highly criticized actions taken by the Luxon National-ACT-NZ First coalition government:

💸 Public Sector Slashing & Frontline Job Cuts

• Mass Public Sector Redundancies: Axed thousands of public service roles across critical ministries, including Health, Education, and the Ministry for Primary Industries. Critics state this has crippled government operational capacity, severely stalled public service delivery, and artificially driven up local unemployment.
• Failing the Health Workforce: Despite a severe healthcare workforce shortage, the government oversaw a system-wide funding freeze. This led to thousands of recently qualified New Zealand nurses being denied jobs within Health New Zealand (Te Whatu Ora), forcing local medical talent offshore.

🛑 Welfare & Beneficiary Crackdowns

• Sickness and Cancer Patient Work Mandates: Drastically overhauled welfare settings by applying strict "move on" orders and work sanctions. These mandates penalize vulnerable individuals, requiring even those undergoing intense medical treatments like cancer therapy to constantly prove work readiness or risk losing their basic financial support.
• Aggressive Emergency Housing Evictions: Stripped emergency housing support and evicted thousands of families out of motels without providing stable, long-term public housing alternatives. Social housing advocates report this has directly driven up visible homelessness and pushed families onto the streets.

🛠️ Workers' Rights & Corporate Protections

• Expanding 90-Day Trial Periods: Reintroduced 90-day trial periods for all businesses across the country. This removes basic unfair dismissal protections for new employees, giving corporate employers total leverage to fire staff without cause or justification.
• Gutting Responsible Lending Laws: Revoked strict affordability requirements on credit checks, making it significantly easier for predatory lenders and banks to issue high-interest loans. Financial watchdogs warn this deliberately exposes low-income families to severe debt traps.

🏫 Local Government, Infrastructure & Education Overhauls

• Forced Amalgamation Ultimatum: Issued an aggressive directive giving regional councils an ultimatum to merge or restructure into "super-cities." Critics argue this destroys local representation, weakens regional decision-making, and systematically dilutes established iwi co-governance partnerships.
• Scrapping Three Waters (Water Reforms): Abruptly cancelled the planned national water infrastructure reforms, throwing the multi-billion-dollar burden of fixing failing pipe networks directly back onto local councils. This has caused immediate, historic hikes in local council rates for everyday households.
• Privatizing School Lunches: Disestablished locally produced, healthy school lunch programmes in favor of shifting the contract to massive, global corporate catering conglomerates. Critics state this prioritizes corporate profits over the nutritional needs of kiwi children.

🔫 Gun Law Rollbacks & Ideological Mandates

• Weakening Gun Safety Laws: Advanced a complete rewrite of firearms legislation to reintroduce military-style semi-automatic assault rifles into public ownership. The changes also significantly reduced the legal accountability of gun clubs, directly overriding the safety consensus established after the Christchurch mosque attacks.
• The "English First" Mandate: Pushed through unnecessary, ideologically driven legislation to declare English an official language and systematically strip Te Reo Māori from public sector agency names. Opponents label this a shallow culture-war distraction designed to appease a bigoted voter base.

edit: FV if you like labour why you attacking them? I want to embarrass them into DOING THEIR FUCKING JOBS PROPERLY. they're literally our only hope against a corporate dystopia and they're fumbling the fucking ball.
