@zalisteggall Unsurprising, as you said. Even if some major party politicians want to vote for this, once the party line is set...

🗳️My Voter Protection bill would protect Australians from misleading & deceptive advertising & deep fakes generated by AI. Australians overwhelmingly want politicians held to the same standard as everyone else but unsurprisingly the major parties are dragging their feet! #auspol

@katebevan Yes, but pollsters apparently want to work more than one year in four... :)

meh, it's four years til the next election. Polls are stupid at this point.

@ilovenostalgia We had them in Australia. They were initially called "Fags", but they changed the name to "Fads" for $reasons that aren't difficult to guess.

Did you know there were actually cigarettes for children in the 20th century?

@Mafer1ck Does that 20kgs include the 2kgs of gammon?

What weighs 20kgs and has eaten 2kgs of freshly roasted smoked gammon?

@katebevan Nobody wants pylons. Or oil lamps as their source of light once the sun goes down.

"nobody wants to look out on pylons" - I love pylons! I think they're rather beautiful! Fabulous industrial design! channel4.com/news/anti-pylo…

@gamesyouloved Megadrive, aka Genesis

What console did you always want as a kid but never got

@METAPCs AMD. Hard to trust an Intel CPU at present given issues with latest generation Core CPUs.

AMD or Intel for your next build? Let the debate begin!

@LJPatton @westaustralian I do also wonder how many of those who have succeeded did it in less than 30 years from the time they started thinking seriously about it with multiple levels of bans in place, and whose fairy-tale plans included a reliance on technologies still not even close to being proven...

PAUL MURRAY OPINION: 'It is simply ridiculous to regard nuclear power as unachievable when so many other countries have achieved it. There are 440 reactors operating now in 31 countries.' buff.ly/3XuPiWI

@democratie_kate Yep, the plan is based on fantasy. Mind, it doesn't help the sane arguments against him when counter-claims (like "multiple tonnes of high-level radioactive waste") are sprayed around. ~2.5t per year BEFORE recycling is WORST case on large plants. That's not what's proposed.

How can he fucking claim anything about SMRs given they don't exist? #auspol

I used to be a WD Red fan, but my last lot of NAS drives were IronWolf drives, and so far, so good! Hopefully the image is incorrect where it shows an 8TB drive. :)

@AORUS_UK That PC was a P166, 32MB of RAM (about 4x the average of the time), 2GB HDD, 4MB ET6000 2D card and a 6MB Canopus Pure3D card (so I had more video memory than the average PC had system memory at the time). CD burner (tray, not cassette load) and 19" Samsung short-depth monitor.

@AORUS_UK The family had an 80286. Then a P100. My first personally owned CPU was a P166 (non MMX), one of the very first ones in the country (it was before they officially went on sale, I worked for a PC builder with a very good relationship with the distributor).

Oops, your age is showing...👴 What was your first CPU? 👇

@hulkintosh Gah, a IV! Looks a bit too textured and yellowed for that (I thought they changed the plastic for the IV. That said, it's been a LONG time since I've seen one... :)

@hulkintosh Looks like an old HP LaserJet? Maybe a II, maybe a III?

What the fuck does that mean?

@PowerGPU 3440x1440

What resolution do you game at?

@JamesMConlan Brisbane council already has lower rates for owner/occupiers, so there's precedent.

Very excited that @MerribekCouncil just voted for my motion to explore higher rates for property investors and lower rates for local residents and businesses. This could slash rates for residents by around $900/year for every home owner and around $2700 for each local business 🧵

@MarkusMannheim "Made in Australia" not "Product of Australia". Sounds to me like they're importing beans/other ingredients from a "low cost geography" and then processing it here...

How is Coles soy milk so cheap? Is it incredibly shit?

@MarkusMannheim It is. Was wondering when you'd notice. :)

@manaz_d Oh wow, is that you, Doc?

it's going to reopen with a "cafe, retail space and an observation deck". Is that enough? abc.net.au/news/2024-06-1…

@METAPCs Pulease.

my back hurts
