The far right, including One Nation, are outsourcing their Islamophobia content to Indonesia. Which is so wildly cooked on every level. They are importing hate and the platforms that profit from it to be held to account.

QLD Government ads bragging about how they’re changing laws to get dangerous e-bikes and scooters off the roads. Proceeds to show nothing but footage of things that were ALREADY illegal with no law changes. I mean, maybe just enforce the existing laws?

I’ve been using #GitHubCopilot for years now, and I’ve spent so much time looking at what models to choose in what circumstances. I think I’ve got a good handle on which to choose for different types of work. And… just use Auto. It’s cheaper and usually better at deciding than me.

2 scam calls in the last hour pretending to be an electricity company I don’t use. Frustratingly they have my name and (old) postcode along with my phone number.

Every time I go out for a bike ride I make sure I have my Medicare card with me in case I crash and that’s sensible actually not pessimistic.

Hey @bsky.app, the KWS verification doesn’t seem to work. Just spins after selecting a verification method.

Tonight’s dinner of baked beans and some snowpeas is brought to you by “it’s 10pm and I forgot to eat”

I'm doing another ride for charity. This time 100km! Further than I've ever ridden in one hit. I'm sure it'll be fine. Yeah it'll be fine. I'll be fine. Today is dollar match day, so would love your support. fundraise.mater.org.au/fundraiser/d...

I've been sick and haven't worn a mask this regularly since, well you know. I forgot how much it sucks. But no way I'm getting a bunch of kids or their parents sick one week out from school holidays.

What a great Black Mirror episode showing a thing that didn't happen right? It didn't happen because that would be horrific. Right? RIGHT?

If you ever wondered how much of Twitter is "the algorithm" pushing stuff at you, just visit another country. About 30% of my feed is in Japanese right now.

It's always worrying seeing an elderly person buying Apple gift cards. Maybe I'm being unfair.

I just put bananas next to avocados in my fruit bowl so I guess you could say I'm pretty brave.

Hi again America! I'm back in you.

I haven't been posting much but at least this time it's because I'm happily spending time with family and friends.

On the Bluesky app I logged into a corp account by mistake. I'm logged out but I still get notifications. I can't figure out how to remove the account from my app entirely. Anyone have any hints?

It's amazing how much you can tell about your overall mood from your most used emoji. Early this year it was 😂 Changed to 😅 for a while It just switched to 😊

I'm 100% down with this in pretty much whatever form it takes. I felt pressured to pay for the birdsite because of features, but I'll pay for this regardless.

Thanks Chicago! I really like this city. 😊 On my way to the airport for a 16 hour flight 😑

If you're at #MSIgnite, I'll be talking about (and showing off) GitHub Advanced Security Autofix at 3:15 in Theatre B! 🧠 🔐

Question for Bluesky experts... What's the best way to have aliases or otherwise register other handles/domains?

Why did Chicago put its airport so far away?

Just woke up on the plane so I nailed that timezone shift. Another underrated devrel skill 😅

At the airport on the way to Chicago for #MSIgnite! Sure, BNE-HKG-ORD isn't exactly the most direct route but was it cheap? Not really, no.
