  In the UK and Australia, yes

  Fox News wasn’t founded until 1996 so the internet actually predates “reactionaries shoveling Murdoch bullshit”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Australia fines Musk's X platform $386,000 over anti-child abuse gaps⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The fines start small, it’s the same in the EU. Then they get bigger until you’re being threatened with 40% of worldwide revenue.

  For the conservatives, this is 2900 Abrams tanks or 362 1/2 F-35A fighters.

  You think the only major film about Oppenheimer is not going to be played endlessly in history classes?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lords of the Fallen’s Steam reviews improve as performance patch lands, devs advise players not to use graphics settings “their rigs cannot handle”⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  But if your game runs like shit on the top of the line consoles too, then maybe the problem is the developer.

  Should have put a better GPU in your PS5 obviously

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chinese scientists claim record smashing quantum computing breakthrough⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a shame the LK-99 hype has lead to LK-99 backlash because influencers couldn’t make it in their backyard.

  LK-99 isn’t “the one” but most signs show it’s on the right track and if we can work out the manufacturing technique for this class of materials it will change everything.

  Is it contractually obligatory for UE5 devs to blame the people buying their product for the shit performance?

  Yeah I’m surprised I have anyone following me, this is creepy

  Yeah and so it’s not simple for them to provide the necessary logistics while taking into account their other priorities.

  Which is what a malevolent AI capable of mass misinformation operations would say

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nevada lithium mine leads to 'green colonialism' accusations⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem is we’re not treating it like an emergency.

  During COVID world governments provided basically infinite resources to promising vaccine candidates. We are not doing the same for promising battery technologies.

  We could also be regulating the market for smarter use of the lithium we have. Lithium batteries for stationary mass storage (“big batteries”) are completely pointless, except maybe as part of virtual power networks. Subsidising and incentivising recycling and recovery of lithium from waste is another low hanging fruit we seem to not be bothering with.

  Absolutely it’s true for a global emergency threatening to destroy the global ecosystem, a local ecosystem and cultural site is a sensible sacrifice (not withstanding that we shouldn’t be in this scenario in the first place.)

  But we have barely scratched the surface in terms of alternative options and it’s fair to be frustrated when you’re the one expected to sacrifice when other options have not really been tried.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Overton Paradox | Brilliant⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You said it facetiously but in reality COVID really did kill almost 50% more conservatives than liberals.

  Conservative governments around the world made the connection that a virus that mostly killed old people was going to be bad news for their polling if left uncontrolled. Only in the US did conservatives seem to do not only the exact opposite, but added anti-mask, anti-lockdown and anti-vaccination on top - as if they were trying to get their voters killed.

  Biden beat Trump by 10,000 votes in Georgia. Thanks antivaxxers!

  You understand food does not come through a pipe right

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Israel's order to cut food and water from Gaza difficult to judge from afar, says Foreign Minister Penny Wong⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  In practical terms how do you organise aid for a state you’re at war with? How do you ensure the safety of your aid workers in a way that doesn’t involve your military, but also doesn’t just provide new hostages? How do you stop your own aid workers from getting in the way of military operations?

  I guarantee you Israel wouldn’t do this if they had a better option, this will only radicalise the normal people who start to go hungry and thirsty.

  Sorry, did you mean to say Dutton rather than Albanese? There’s nothing divisive about indigenous people having an advocate.
