the only plans I have for tomorrow are to scan shitloads of magazines and listen to the ashes on ABC radio

I can’t decide what would be funnier, if Musk had an actual conversation with his employees about how their AI needed to extol his own personal physical hotness, or if they just did it on their own hoping the boss would like it.

Love my new SimCity 2000 shirt that I bought myself for myself. It reminds me of playing SimCity 2000

"You worry that someone in today’s tech world might watch “Gattaca” — a film that features a eugenicist future in which people with ordinary DNA are relegated to menial jobs — and see it as an inspirational launching point for a collaboration between 23andMe and a charter school."

i'm gonna be out in eastern melbourne this sunday - so if you have heaps of old books/magazines you want to get rid of so I can scan them, I have space in my car to pick them up! DM me if you'd like me to visit more details: scan.decryption.net.au

a nice person sent me a couple of APC magazine that were not on the internet archive (or are, but in crap quality) to scan, because they saw my blog post! im not sure if they follow me here, but thank you :) blog.decryption.net.au/posts/apc-ca...

We all support it except for the half dozen land owners that are fed misinformation then use their guns and peer pressure to block vital transmission lines

TPG has revealed details of a person with a Lebara service not being able to make a call on their Samsung handset because of its firmware

fuck me dead the Ardeer Costco is always so busy - every register open, 6+ trolleys deep on a Monday morning

were so fucking back guys

dunno if any of you play Balatro but I'm pretty happy with this round score of 626,344

Sooo should I install NeXTSTEP on this?

I wonder if the ancient Romans had a similar trinket just before their civilisation collapsed?

I have a Motorola Edge 30 5G Dual SIM (128GB) smartphone for sale. Running stock Android but can be flashed with the latest version of LineageOS if you want to go off grid. Works well but has a bit of wear and tear. Yours for $200 posted! DM me if you're keen. wiki.lineageos.org/devices/dubai/

WHAT. Give me that, you jerks!!!!!!

type in HTML magazine

OMFG

In any other context, what would we think about some unseen stranger eavesdropping on kids’ conversations to see what they’re talking about?

giving a talk tomorrow, it will not be cynical

Softbank goes all in on OpenAI, shameless game influencers, VIC's "jobs pipeline running under the sea" Plus: Turn any device with a command line into a file server READ: https://thesizzle.com.au/p/softbank-sells-nvidia-aussie-journo-flies-too-close-to-influencer-sun-subco-s-smap-cable-will-improv

Every technology problem is three social problems in a trench coat

Naming and shaming Nazis but make it the opening credits of an early 2000s reality show by the hilarious Scout Boxall E-mail us with tip-offs [email protected]

Reckon a fair few Aussie tech and games content folk might want to pull their heads in if they don't want to end up on the end of a Linton Besser cannon 🤯

NEW: What could we have instead of Australia's teen social media ban? A lot of the debate on the ban has framed it as ban vs nothing. But there's plenty of options for improving online safety for young people. Here's 5 alternative ideas (which we can still do) www.crikey.com.au/20...

Nice nod to old mate Ea-nasir in Civ7 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complai...

real sign of the times that an oil fund has to suspend its ethics rules to hold tech company stocks

Optimus will overturn the fundamentals of economics to an extent that we may not even need money in the future, Musk says, and yet he still recommends people "hold onto your Tesla stock," which seems like a kind of mixed message.

Optimus robots will just kinda follow criminals around and make sure they don't commit crimes again, so we can eliminate prisons. These are all things Elon Musk is literally saying.

This greeted us just a few miles from the Austin airport when we rolled in last night. Someone around here has been hard at work to welcome Elon's dork brigade as they arrive for the Tesla AGM 💀 #teslatakedown #MuskMustFall

ooh new major patch to civ7 - that's my weekend sorted

what shines through, to me, is that while landlords overwhelmingly see themselves as "providing an essential service" they avoid accountability for the obligations that kind of service provision requires. they want a pat on the back for doing a ~good deed~ without the work or responsibility

i actually like jesus and despite that I still think rowland's take here is fucked

MrBeast hates Zohran because if people have access to basic necessities, it will demolish the Giving People Those Necessities As Part Of A Saw-Inspired Game Show industry

pleased to advise that I have completed another rant about the #socialmedia #ageassurance shit in #australia hey.paris/posts/ageass... #auspol

Apple's mask-off suppression of PWAs has been shockingly effective, amd regulators around the world are connecting the dots, even if the tech press continually fail to.

I have been Balatro-pilled

"One of the biggest impediments to increasing the amount of people we have who could work is our incredibly low unemployment benefits People can't afford to put money on their travel card, they can't go to the dentist & they can't have something to wear to go to the interview"

Picked up an Asus ROG Ally (Z1 Extreme) for very cheap off Facebook and running windows on this thing is a goddamn mess - it's everything you hate about Windows (update after update, privacy nagging, upsells galore) but on a smaller screen. SteamOS is so much better

back at my favourite place in Melbourne (maybe the world??)

local shops just got a scam machine

Print edition @theonion.com ads don’t miss

the funniest and worst possible immigration choice you could make is to let white south africans into your country. Look at Perth.

Has anyone gone and done the work to trace exactly which edgelord gamergaters from 10 years ago are now working as professional posters for Homeland Security? There's gotta be a direct pipeline there of specific people, not just of ideology.

got that urge to build a gaming pc again (I'll build it, use it for a few weeks then not turn it on for months at a time)
