Yeah, the 2PP (Coalition/ON - doesn't matter which) still gives the ALP a massive majority.

Roblox, Discord sued after 15-year-old boy was allegedly groomed online before he died by suicide
Sadly, the first thing the defending lawyers will point out is where were the parents in all this? Why was he able to turn off the parental controls, and why didn't the parents notice?

A lot is based in Singapore. There was a story a few days ago about how China nixed the sale of a Singapore-based AI company to Meta.

Film Students Are Having Trouble Sitting Through Movies, Professors Say
Just fail them. They shouldn't be anywhere near a film set with the attention span of a gnat. It's dangerous.

Farewell to the fediverse
If I removed ActivityPub from my blog, I'd get no readership whatsoever. It's not like search works anymore.

What's the weirdest typo/error you've seen in a book?

I thought something like that had happened when I first read Cloud Atlas, but nope - that's just how it's written. I loved it once I understood.

Nova Launcher gets a new owner and... ads
I just switched to Octopi. For me, it's an almost perfect replacement. Plus it's a local developer.

Creators of Tailwind laid off 75% of their engineering team
Reply in thread
I agree. I looked at tailwind and couldn't believe it was so popular. It defeats the entire purpose of CSS, and returns web dev back to the early 90s. Just stupid.

Except all those times where you learnt how to do something when you set it up years ago, and haven't touched it since because it just bloody works. Then when you need to upgrade to a new machine you have to learn it all again.

YouTube adds new hurdles for ad blockers, and there's currently no way around it
Reply in thread
I had it for more than 5 years before abandoning it. I still got ads. I'd complain and YouTube would tell me it was a rare bug, or my browser, or the phase of the moon. They'd promise it'd never happen again and it still kept happening. I suspect it was a test to see what they could get away with.

What are some movies that didn't deserve to flop?
Big Trouble in Little China. Was expected to be the smash hit of 1986, but poor marketing killed it. Perhaps it was also a decade or three ahead of its time.
