"The premier said the state government would also consider measures to restrict protest activity in the wake of terror threats." - truly disgusting that Premier @chrisminnsmp.bsky.social would try to sneak in legislation to silence protests in the wake of this tragedy www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12...

First Germany, now Spain. With France surrounded can we be next please? share.google/IxDxMuUBJoFD...

Is the internet down? Youtube is slow af and can barely show 144p video, Twitch is fine, Amazon works as normal, Claude is down, Instagram is slow, Bluesky is fine

Strava putting Year in Sport behind a paywall this year is the dumbest business decision I've seen since... they sued Garmin for something they didn't make 🤦🏽‍♂️ This is free marketing for them and they just threw it down the drain. Last year I saw loads of friends post theirs on stories. This year? 1.

It's very telling re: #youtuberecap how even with all the data in the world, Google was very careful not to show you "hours watched" as a metric 😂

All about that business, yes sir 🫡 #youtuberecap

It's funny how I'm somehow in LTT's top 2% of viewers and I'm not even subscribed to them @linusmediagroup.com

It took me nearly all year but I finally figured out how to make my non-Garmin smart scale automatically sync to Garmin Connect

Every now and then I'll stumble into the debate of a flag redesign for the Australia - my favourite continues to and will probably always be the Unity Flag. Just so well done. unityflag.com.au

I'm a little in shock over this

Lightroom's Assisted Culling Feature is a great idea and something I've wanted for ages, but it is so poorly done I think it wastes more time than it saves

I don't know how many more layers I can wear before giving up and using the heater for the first time this winter 🥶

Bless the EU for continually calling out and punishing American tech companies for their BS www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Strava is down. I guess my running streak is over 🤷🏽‍♂️

What in the actual fuck is going on

Back in Aus for a bit and the TV here is mind numbing. Mostly ads or endless iterations of the same old reality/game/cooking show formats - can't even stand having it on in the background

Listening to some new songs in bed as the sun begins to set, and amazed at how good and comfortable my Sony XM3 headphones are, nearly 6 years after I bought them 🎧 One of the tiny plastic bits of a hinge broke but nothing some duct tape couldn't fix

I'm out of breath just watching these #tdf cyclists on this climb up Tourmalet. 11%!!

Shots FIRED @nytimes.com

Watching the Tour de France as they cycle through the rain and all I can think about is how none of them have mudguards... must be so gross in the Peloton

Won't somebody PLEASE think of the billionaires??? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

A better title would be "Eurostar makes flimsy announcement to try and cling onto their monopoly" www.theguardian.com/business/202...

What even is this comeback 🇫🇷 #ESPFRA

It's genuinely concerning just how little Meta cares about your well-being. I tried stopping meme and low quality content from showing up in my Reels feed using "don't show reels from this account", to make it less addicting, and they completely ignored it. Resorted to blocking indiscriminately

Makes me so glad I willingly left the UK last year. Let the country rot www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Antony Green predicts Adam Bandt will hold. Thank god

It's a sign of a healthy democracy that Dutton's crowd actually applauded after he congratulated Albo. None of this hyper-toxic polarised mindless sports team bullshit you'd get from the MAGA nuts in the US.

Damn, Alex Dyson winning Wannon would've been sick

Antony Green called it!! Labor wins, and most importantly Dutton is losing his seat 🤩 James McGrath towing the Liberal party line on ABC and denying reality is hilarious

I just tried to make a whatsapp group for my birthday party and whatsapp marked it as spam. "Support" is just an AI gaslighting you that there's no problem.

great day for insider trading

Turns out Le Pen is not mightier than the fraud.

Can the next bit of pro-consumer regulation from the EU be forcing the ability to turn on or off different functions of social media apps? Instagram Reels is a cancer on society and if I could just delete/remove that function off the app I'd be a whole lot more productive/happier

Bastille has become so dangerous now for cyclists, it's quite shocking how they've blocked off half the cycle path around the monument and provided zero signposted détour, leaving cyclists to surprise jump into traffic 😳 And it's gonna be like this until June??

The sunrise today in Paris was just... *chefs kiss*

I don't know when it happened, but Gemini on Android went from completely useless to really, really good.

There's nothing that drives me more insane than asana repeatedly logging me out day after day for "security" reasons and when trying to log back in it asks me to do not only the infuriating "magic link" thing but ALSO a code from my authentication app. Why does a PM app need so many hoops?!

I turned on my desktop PC for the first time in 10 months since putting into storage and moving to Paris, and I noticed that it was strangely 5 minutes ahead of the actual time. I wonder why that was? 🤔

I feel like this is horrendous timing, no? Might be a better conversation for when your country isn't potentially getting invaded www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

I think Tiktok is dead everybody. Post-Trump they're not giving us the freedom of speech that we had prior, even the most basic comments are getting taken down

Honestly, Tiktok might be better without all the loud Americans on there

Any other photographers here on Pixelfed? Would be nice to get a bit of a community going on there, especially with Meta trying to kill it by banning any mention of it on Instagram/Facebook metapixl.com/lashan

Folks are mostly missing the forest for the trees re: the recent Meta announcement. Specifically, the focus on the move from fact checking to community notes. There two different changes that are a much bigger deal that have received less focus. 🧵 1/11

Well, that's one way to cure me of my social media addiction theintercept.com/2025/01/09/f...

Skiing the french alps this past weekend was out of this world. Been a dream of mine to ski the alps proper, with insane landscapes, epic amounts of powder, extremely long runs down the mountain, and "playgrounds" of wide open fields and untouched snow. I got everything I wanted 😄 ❄️

Sunset run today 🌅

Oh no! anyway www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024...

This is a horrifically bad take @theguardian.com. The media is not making #Luigi a hero at all ffs. And if you think the average American sees this is a race issue, then you're either trying to further divide us or you're missing it entirely. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...
