The actual quote in the article, which the summary didn't do a great job with:
"I can think of at least three or four that we have actually actively found involved in foreign interference in Australian diaspora communities," he told the ABC's Insiders program.

- Comment on Unreal Engine supervisor at ModelFarm blasts 50% failure rate with Intel chips — company switching to AMD's Ryzen 9 9950X, praises single-threaded performance 3 months ago:
Intel fumbled hard with some of their recent NICs including the I225-V ([1][2], which took them multiple hardware revisions in addition to software updates to fix.
AMD also had to be dragged kicking and screaming to support earlier motherboard buyers to upgrade to Ryzen 5000 chips,[3] and basically lied to buyers about support for sTRX4, requiring an upgrade from the earlier TR4 to support third-gen Threadripper but at least committing to "long-term" longevity in return[4][5]. They then turned around and released no new CPUs for the platform[6], leaving people stranded on the platform despite the earlier promises.
I know it's appealing to blindly trust one company's products (or specific lineup of products) because it simplifies buying decisions, but no company or person is infallible (and companies in particular are generally going to profit-max even at your expense). Blindly trusting one unfortunately does not reliably lead to good outcomes for end-users.

Would be nice to get some Australian fedi instances (e.g. aussie.zone ) written in either the red or blue sections (I think red might be better?) using pixels that are one shade lighter or darker.

There's currently no implementation (the repos are currently just skeletons), so it could just be a semantics difference right now.

- Comment on Julian Assange flies out of UK after release from prison: WikiLeaks | ABC News 4 months ago:
There is this
The messages, obtained by The Atlantic, were also turned over by Trump Jr.’s lawyers to congressional investigators. They are part of a long—and largely one-sided—correspondence between WikiLeaks and the president’s son that continued until at least July 2017. The messages show WikiLeaks, a radical transparency organization that the American intelligence community believes was chosen by the Russian government to disseminate the information it had hacked, actively soliciting Trump Jr.’s cooperation.
I don't personally know much about it beyond that.
- Comment on Real-Time Strategy is incredible and you should play it 4 months ago:
I thought Frozen Synapse's ability to let you simulate your opponent's moves was super cool - surprised I didn't end up seeing it in more strategy games (obviously not so much applicable to the normal real-time stuff though!).
- Comment on After months of reviews, the government has made its first move on the big supermarkets 4 months ago:
If you read the article, which part of the last-resort financial consequences do you deem insufficient to curb the "absorb the fines" business approach?
- Comment on After months of reviews, the government has made its first move on the big supermarkets 4 months ago:
Supermarkets that fail to meet these requirements would open themselves to fines worth three times any benefit they derived from their misconduct.
Alternatively, the fine could be up to $10 million, or 10 per cent of the supermarket's annual turnover if the benefit can't be determined.
Those fines would need to be approved by a court, but consumer watchdog the ACCC could also issue up-front infringement notices worth up to $187,800 if they believe there has been a breach.
Are you not entertained?
