I do this ish for a living, I am an AI developer and researcher, and *I* don’t fully understand the security implications. What hope do regular users have? www.windowscentral.com/microsoft/wi...

Great work @kirstyjohnston.bsky.social on this article, which shines a light on how short-sighted scrapping of good initiatives around energy by this current government led to us being painted into a corner that makes it seem our “only” option is importing gas. #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Labour will repeal the Regulatory Standards bill.

Looks like Microsoft have finally realised moving people onto the more expensive AI bundled 365 without asking was a shitty thing to do.

NZ conference organisers could learn a lot from this awesome H&S setup for clean air.

Spread the word: Labour's CGT is a simple, targeted tax on residential & commercial property to fund 3 free doctor's visits for every Kiwi. The family home is exempt. Farms are exempt. KiwiSaver is exempt. Businesses are exempt. Nine in 10 Kiwis will not pay a dollar on any property they own #nzpol

Always ask yourself: Who writes the stories? Who benefits from the stories? Who is missing from the stories? And, apparently - who benefits from the silence, when the stories can’t be told? Active undermining of those who often speak the loudest truths to power is a tactic of authoritarianism.

Was Ardie Savea wearing Meta AI glasses on 1news tonight? About 43 mins in.

Great speech by @philtwyford.bsky.social in the House now on the worrying changes to academic freedom in the university sector. Nails it.

I bet it wasn't even 5 years ago that the standard belief was that without more transmission there would be no energy transition. Then I started hearing about VPPs. Now there are plenty of amazing real world examples of their success and it is still so early. VPPs look to be a huge thing.

NEW: GLOBAL RENEWABLES OVERTAKES COAL How the heck did that happen so quickly?!...🧵

If you're sick of this government and this absolute race baiting bullshit and attacks on Māori across the board - vote in your local election and vote to keep Māori wards. Your council is ONLY having a referendum because this government is forcing them to. How embarrassing if they all get kept.

I scored 100%! (But I can't get the long exam to give me 50 questions, not sure what that's about.) How covid knowledgeable are you??

What I'd just say to you is, many thanks to the media for never calling us out on this & instead platforming our oil and gas ban big lie as if it was the truth. #LyinLuxon #WorstPMEver #WorstGovernmentEver #StateMediaCapture #NZpol

@mountaintui.bsky.social doing the Mahi again to add nuanced and well researched perspective to the criticisms of NZLabour from ALL sides. I didn't study politics and I'm no expert in political strategy but I understand that there is a game to play and have to trust Labour know what they're doing...

"They appear to realize this and are no longer talking about a future in which we grow plants to make oil to burn in internal combustion vehicles. The future is pretty clear at this point and vehicles will either be burning good old gasoline and diesel or they will be powered by batteries."

Not many farmers would tell you that we need to eat less meat; that wealthy landowners shouldn’t moan about inheritance tax but should “pay the whole fucking lot”; & that Reform UK are “a load of rich rightwing toffs” 😂 But Devon farmer Guy Singh-Watson does: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Research reveals that managers often take advantage of their hardest-working members of staff. David Robson has some advice for a frustrated reader

It's been a crazy week of secret trips & car launches but I reckon blasting down Auckland's motorway in this powerful, fully electric semi-truck has been one of my most eye-opening experiences: youtu.be/GGQ4xNFsdlQ

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.

Kieran McAnulty calls out National Party lies. Well liars they are. #nzpol

A nice small step forward, I guess it is 2025 after all.. evsandbeyond.co.nz/fonterra-lau...

While preventing kids from allegedly harmful content online sounds like a great idea in theory, these laws set the stage for authoritarian censorship, violate young people’s core civil liberties, forcibly expose users to significant privacy risks and utterly fail at their goal of “protecting kids”

Quick video for the 'we saved too many lives, spent too much $, sent inflation to the moon, made interest rates go up, and now we have to pay for our sins 😢' crowd. The idea that NZ could have 'opted out' of global inflation surge is daft. Almost as daft as NZ opting almost uniquely for a recession.

Using HEPA filters to clean the air isn't just about limiting disease transmission. It's about improving overall health in a number of ways. In this interesting study they show that HEPA can be used to lower blood pressure: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Sigh. National, who have an entire parliament run by their tiny majority shareholder ACT are having a go at Labour and the Greens over.. tax? The day they have tabled raising tax on every motorist? Fuck off.

This is a terrific book. I’m reading it now and I recommend it to everyone. It’s filled with practical, science based advice

Local elections in NZ are a democratic mess. 78 councils, no central info, run by private companies. I’ve compiled every 2025 local govt candidate (including their affiliation) into one searchable tool - because someone had to. #nzpol theprogressreport.co.nz/local-candid...

Still thinking about a conversation with an Aotearoa surveillance historian at the researcher meeting this week where I said I think the loudest parts of any story are its missing parts.

There’s renewable energy ads and there’s mother**cking wind farm ads. This, blissfully, is the latter.

Very consistent ⅔ against all five of David Farrar’s motions, thankfully. Which makes all the canvassing and recruitment of sensible members worthwhile – it looks like we may have stopped the attempted takeover and neutering of #InternetNZ by chaos goblins.

If only NZ had sun or fields full of grapevines or something

The InternetNZ AGM falls on Thursday. It's a very consequential one. To secure institution's ability to serve all New Zealanders, members must vote down proposed changes to InternetNZ's constitution by the Free Speech Union (FSU) - published on their website. If passed, InternetNZ won't be the same.
