It's 2024. Why do Australian bank accounts still not come with a checksum rather than "be careful" warning? Even if it's an optional third field (BSB being the other) until it's universal.
I headed to Werribee South to see if I could see the #aurora. The lights were unbelievable. Not in the sky, just the headlights of thousands of other people who thought to do the same.
Huge shoutout to @EssentialVic. I complained about a deceptive telemarketing call. Not only did they respond, but since then they've kept me in the loop regarding telemarketing. Today I got an email to let me know that it was banned from May 1st. This is customer service.

Lots of analysis of the xz/liblzma vulnerability. Most skip over the first step of the attack:
0. The original maintainer burns out, and only the attacker offers to help (so the attacker inherits the trust of the project built by the maintainer).

A.I. photos are flooding social media and contributing to an Internet where we can't believe what we see.
Spotting A.I. 📷s is an important media literacy skill.

I have somehow been algorithmed to see (bad) AI images of Emma Watson on Facebook.
Not only does everyone seem to think they're real, but they're responding as if she posted it.
My brain hurts. Please make it stop?

I **strongly suspect** that "Morty" is NOT a "good family friend" of mine in the sense that
1) I've never had a cuppa with him
2) I've never had a meal with him
3) I've never met him.
And I do NOT support "nuclear power".
@DoctorKarl True?
Readers added context they thought people might want to know

It is quite annoying to see the number of people who don't otherwise seem like blithering idiots, but are incapable of understanding that racism is the intersection of prejudice and power rather than just 'being rude about an arbitrary genetic characteristic'.
Oh come on @sydneymardigras! Their participation has always been on the nose, but this year, right now, they need to be told to fuck off.
NSW Police will still participate in this year’s Mardi Gras celebrations, after one of their officers - Beau Lamarre-Condon (pictured at the 2020 parade) - was accused of murdering Jesse Baird & Luke Davies

It's almost like the intention of language is to transfer thoughts from one brain to another as economically as possible.
I swear every time I block IDF propaganda on @facebook they count it as a post interaction and show me even more of the rubbish
Not a #swifty but I am totally loving the vibe and hype. I am excited by all the excitement. I am thrilled for people with tickets and heartbroken for those without. In a mostly boring and conservative world, this is a beautiful sparkle 💖

So GitLab posts their internal Zoom call recordings on YouTube, and some have HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of views...
Because people use them to pretend like they're working.
I'm new to @GitHub after using Bitbucket forever.
