I'm a programmer turned teacher. Where most teachers are now learning to code, I'm learning how to teach. Also, teaching is a WAY harder job #digitech #digitaltechnologies #coding #teaching #edtech

The birth of a pandemic is so quiet you might miss it.
A silent seed planting itself in the world, set to grow into something uncontainable.

I want to say again, as a person with a Computer Science degree who is generally hugely in favour of technical solutions to social problems:
No computer voting machine system that our civilisation can deploy is better than paper ballots

Again we have been trying to get info out of the Bureau of Meteorology about huge spending on a new computer system. Contracts first let to big consulting firms for $4m suddenly cost $20m, or those let for $30m now cost $75m. All we get is verbal assurances! Lets see the figures.

Ladies: If some piece of shit tells you this at school, or in the workplace or even on the street - FILE A SEXUAL HARASSMENT REPORT - It's SEXUAL HARASSMENT. File a report, press charges.
At school, file a report.
At work, contact HR and file a report.

Here's the half-baked tender (that only closed 5 weeks ago) for age recognition technology for the social media ban.
If this doesn't scare every last shiver out of you, I don't know what will. Big Brother's got nothing on this.
This affects every Australian.

You can end the workday and come back the next morning and pick up where you left off in most jobs.
You can't just show up and teach in the morning without spending time outside of work hours preparing for the day.
This has been normalized as a profession, and it can't go on.
