  We are all fucked if the politicians and/or civil service starts using AI for policy creation or implementation.

  As a matter of interest, where is the closest/fastest non fourteen eyes country that has good privacy laws?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨REMINDER: Check your NBN speeds after the weekend upgrade⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Be careful.

  I know on Exetel, the above does apply, ie cheaper and faster.

  BUT, the new plan won’t let you turn off CG-NAT, which may affect playing some games or other apps/services that you might use.

  Meh, as if we want a Nazi in our community for 1 hour, let alone 200 hours.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Australians soon facing age checks when viewing adult websites⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  A natural follow on from the under 16 social media bans.

  I remember when we used to laugh at the restrictions China had on the internet, yet we’re happily walking down the same path.

  An execption to Betteridge’s law of headlines

  Yes. But there will always be ways around it, eg put it few a few trusts or shell companies so that it’s not obvious who is actually donating it.

  This is gonna be such a shitshow.

  The day it goes live will be the first time a lot of people even find out what their political overlords signed them up sold them out for.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Claim 1544 migrants arrive daily misuses data: experts | AAP⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  341,000

  So, an average of 934/day.

  Whether it’s 1544 or 934 doesn’t matter to those looking to dog whistle up any rascists.

  TBF, sometimes people wish they could switch kids.

  He probably realised it was the wrong one when the little kid was too well behaved lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why the cost of living crisis will not get better⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So you have no empathy for them now,

  Wow. You literally made that up.

  but you don’t want to try and fix the cost of living crisis.

  Again, bullshit you’re just pulling out your ass.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Australia’s government trial of age‑assurance tech to keep under‑16s off social media says social media age checks can be done, despite errors and privacy risks⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  ‘We found robust, appropriate and secure data handling practices’

  Note they didn’t say they didn’t find any slack, inappropriate and insecure data handling practices?

  It’s a case of only being as good as the weakest link. It will be a matter of time before they are hacked and the data stolen

  Shhhhhhhh!

  That’s what I was thinking ot doing!

  I just can’t get into Alone since the thought occurred to me that it’s just a competition to see who can last the longest before they spiral into depression and/or a mental breakdown. 😟

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why the cost of living crisis will not get better⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No, but I have empathy for those that suffer the most.

  IMHO, Australian Survivor is killing it. Better than the US version.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why the cost of living crisis will not get better⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t care if the rich get richer if that’s what it takes for the price of living to get better.

  Interesting. How does it help if the price of living improves, but you have no home, no job wnd you spent your assets on ‘cheap’ food and rent?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why the cost of living crisis will not get better⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  the middle class who do have to sell of their homes

  Exactly. So, they become poor.

  I’m roughly defining anyone who ‘owns a house, and cash and liquid assets now to let you live at least 10 years with no income’ as who would win, and anyone without that - welcome to the poor club.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why the cost of living crisis will not get better⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  unless we have a recession, a biiiiiig one, with massive unheard of deflation of like 25-30% to get prices back to where they should be.

  I think you’ll find that historically recessions/depressions allow the rich to get richer, as they can buy the assets cheaply that the poor have to sell off to stay alive.

  Unless you have cash and liquid assets now to let you live 10 years, you won’t last what you wish for.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Retirees ‘deserve’ super tax breaks, treasurer says, as government considers how to give younger Australians ‘fair go’⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, you’re right on that. I had in mind those with just enough super to get by, then if the tax concessions are wiped out, they would be in trouble.

  I’m OK with caps on all sorts of things - as long as they are indexed or reviewed annually/regularly. None of this bracket creep bullshit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Retirees ‘deserve’ super tax breaks, treasurer says, as government considers how to give younger Australians ‘fair go’⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Seems like a double edged sword.

  If you cut tax breaks on super retirees, you’ll have more needing to go on the pension.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Productivity summit ends with treasurer signalling tax reforms⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This Productivity Summit is such a stitch up to increase the taxes on those that can least afford it.

  Specifically by raising GST.

  I made the mistake of RTFA.

  I learnt nothing.
