Given that tech people know what happens when CPU is 100% and RAM is full and you're hitting the swap file, it's pretty weird how many places focus on keeping everyone busy and working on more things than they have teams for.

@JulianHillMP With a 9 seat majority in the lower house, Whitlam changed the lives of all Australians for the better, your government with a 50 seat majority panders to the gambling lobby and does nothing to increase Centrelink benefits for the poor and disadvantaged...Whitlam would be ashamed

Thanks for the "free" McAfee install in Adobe Reader that will require me to reinstall Windows, @Adobe. This is what I could see on my laptop prior to downloading (fullscreen, 100% zoom). "Most trusted..." I don't think so.

@Adobe, you know what doesn't engender trust? Not knowing that your 'free' adobe reader is installing other stuff on my PC that I do not want and is notorious for being problematic. Attached is what I saw in my maximised, 100% zoom browser window when downloading.

@Adobe, on what fucking planet do you think it's OK to install McAfee garbage on my laptop with the relevant info of what's 'included with your download' not even appearing in the browser (100% zoom)?

@ptv_official There's a bug in your new gates at Glenferrie. It let me through the gates when I tapped my Android phone but did not register the tap ('moved too fast' error), so I was not touched on. Luckily I double checked and sorted it out.

Despite the miserable Sixers season, no regrets paying for @PHLY_Sports to support having access to @_devongivens without the gymnastics previously involved in getting the post-game US radio feed here in Australia.

@jensuedaw They're the government. They can legislate a change to media ownership laws whenever they like, and limiting foreign ownership would be a simple, populist move. Just revert the laws to what they were previously.

The answer is obviously No. Labor lost a golden opportunity to hold a RC into Murdoch influence, truth in media laws. Australians continue to pay the price.

@NoemiTitarenco I'm commenting from the position that humans are already commoditised :)

@NoemiTitarenco Which isn't good if it can't take an ethical position. It will just reinforce existing patterns and problems.

AI is going to commoditize humans. It will be able to sort us and place us in the "right" jobs. It will be able to predict who has resilience.

@NoemiTitarenco I feel that the feeds people are getting served are quite different in and outside of the US (ie. I haven't needed to block much). But basically, Twitter was/is filtering out most of the people I follow who were posting to the degree it became pointless :-/

@xflibble the block button can turn twitter into a utopia

It's fitting that I'm late with my 2025 resolutions bc this year will be all about chilling out for me. I'm still focused on my goals, but nothing is that serious. I'm taking it easy. I'm not yelling at my kids. I'm smiling more. I'm saying thank you. The chill year join me

@SirTimRice Bluesky is cheaper and more fun.

I stupidly forked out for a blue tick a week or so back and so far zilch. Can I withdraw my request?

Has anyone else left? Still here tracking departures. Other app doing much better.

So in being too angry to pick up @NAB's calls after lodging my AFCA complaint, I missed out on their offer of $250 compensation. Oh well.

Welcome to all of my completely legit followers.

Am gradually exiting, have found most people elsewhere and am just here to watch people leave. I am xflibble on pretty much any platform that exists, that similarly coloured one to this is where I am mostly now.
