Be the change you want to see in the world

Removing the benefits that social media brings will not achieve the government’s objective of improving young people’s lives, and ignores the fact that the harms extend beyond children and young people to marginalized people and groups. The best way to protect children and young people online is by protecting all users with stronger data protection laws and not personalizing feeds based on profiling.

Yes, 100%. I'm glad to see somebody with clout saying this. It's been bizarre to see the government acknowledge something as harmful and malicious, and then only keep kids away from it instead of trying to stop it from being harmful and malicious.

No profiling by default sounds pretty good. I'd also throw in "feed algorithms must be public"

Assuming you're coming from Mastodon, I would be curious to hear how it federates?

It's a little lower in the article

K9 and Thunderbird for Android are now the same app with different branding

[–] brisk@aussie.zone 16 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Not quite, they are and will continue to be the same app and code base with distinct branding.

The rebranding in F-droid recently was a mistake that has been fixed.

Cheers. It took 5 full days for the comments to federate to my instance after this post, so this post was a ghost town on my end until today.

Blinx: The time sweeper

Thanks for bringing that up, I played the shit out of Blinx 2 back when and had all but forgotten it.

Incidentally my first thought reading your comment was "Prince of Persia: Sands of Time"

Interesting to see how different that is from Australia. In your example only lane 3 is a passing lane, and "undertaking" isn't a thing, it's completely legal to overtake in any lane.

This is such an obvious conclusion of this saga that I have to assume that Labor saw it coming. If so, it implies that they made a political calculation that it was better for their reaction to be struck down months later than to let the original high court ruling stand.

And they were willing to violate the constitution and fuck with peoples lives for political expedience.
