Symmetrical transparency.

It was Edward Snowden who said that “Arguing that you don’t care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don’t care about free speech because you have nothing to say.”

But the Australian eSafety Commissioner isn’t giving up her “won’t someone think of the children” rhetoric.

And good news in Australia (despite the disingenuous headline).

News today: vote has been postponed.

My admin friend told me that all email is now secure and encrypted by default.

Of course you have to trust whoever is hosting your email though. Don’t trust Gmail, yahoo, hotmail etc

#Robodebt will have at least created a generation of citizens who understand the level of government corruption. It was an actual conspiracy.

My favorite Chaser is from their TV show when they dressed as Bin Laden and bypassed security to get near George Bush.

Point taken. I did look it up because I expected half of it to be true.

In Australia we have two satire sites called Betoota Advocate and The Chaser which sometimes are about 80% factual (about conservatives).

This is just an Onion type satire site. He didn’t mention any house-maid. Citing missing out on Sky TV as “hardship” though is still bizarre.

They sing in a higher pitch (more annoying to humans?) to compensate for urban noise.

Misleading title. He did not win the appeal.

He won the opportunity to have an appeal hearing.

It is last week’s news anyhow.

Because it depicts teenagers, yeah. It would have been fairer if it showed a dozen people with a more representative spread of ages. It would still skew young though.

I am Gen X, a computer scientist and often use my phone while walking.

Have often jumped on the wrong train because of my lack of attention. Not life threatening but results in extending my one hour journey by 30 minutes. But that kind of error did also happen occasionally pre-phone so at least now I have entertainment for that extra half hour :)

If it was sunny then why didn’t your clothes dry? Why did you leave them overnight?

I find weather forecasts reliable.

In Sydney recently it was raining all week but two days of sunshine were forecast a WEEK in advance. Not that a one week forecast is usually right. All you need is 24 hours and that is very accurate.

Yeah, I know it is more subtle. Odd that even trippers enjoy the exaggerated trope.

LSD would definitely simulate the experience of zooming in on the AI generated face of grandma (try it).
