  • Firefox Will Ship with an "AI Kill Switch" to Completely Disable all AI Features - 9to5Linux

    Jump

  • Don't swap to Ladybird, it won't be completely secure when (or if) it releases and so far there's nothing going for it other than it not being Firefox or Chrome. If you're gonna swap then use the Servo browser which is already actually out.

  • Australia’s roads are full of giant cars, and everyone pays the price. What can be done?

    Jump

  • Why would you drive between capital cities? There's public transport for that.

    I need to drive from the bush into the nearby major town and back again. 50km round trip.

  • protec the poor mull!

  • I'm guessing the sales of emotional support vehicles would drop overnight with that policy.

  • People are surprisingly unkeen on tracking in their car. So kilometers driven wouldn't work.

    I'd say just go with a fee based on the weight of the vehicle, exponential of course. We need fewer heavy cars, fewer kilometers driven will be a side effect. And as a bonus effect maybe I'd be able to buy an EV without a range that's 8 times what I actually need.

  • Anthony Albanese must show the same determination as John Howard following the Port Arthur massacre

    Jump

  • It's more like 1.001th class citizens. Gun ownership is not a right, it's not statistically significant in terms of the classing of citizens.

  • Anthony Albanese must show the same determination as John Howard following the Port Arthur massacre

    Jump

  • It's not common sense that a permanent resident should have all the same rights. It's perfectly valid that if someone isn't considered worthy of being a citizen they should also not be considered worthy of owning lethal weapons.

  • Anthony Albanese must show the same determination as John Howard following the Port Arthur massacre

    Jump

  • Yeah, you're right.

    But I think today what needs to change is that only gun clubs themselves should be able to own guns, not members of gun clubs.

  • Anthony Albanese must show the same determination as John Howard following the Port Arthur massacre

    Jump

  • The optics are bad of restricting gun ownership to citizens, but guns ought not be something people are entitled to like they are in America. It's common sense that to use a gun within Australia someone should be a citizen of Australia. A non-citizen can always buy a bunch of guns, sell them, then hop the border to their home country.

    In short, there should be the absolute maximum restrictions on guns. Every lever possible should be pulled.

  • Fuck AI.

    Jump

  • Ramping up supply costs money, and the AI bubble is on the verge of popping. They'd need to know that this demand would be sticking around before investing in higher fab capacity.

  • Not paying attention in the Grub menu

    Jump

  • Fast-boot normally involves saving Windows to a swap partition and basically just half-hibernating. If that swap partition is shared with Linux it'd get overwritten and the boot method would swap to the slower one.

    As far as I know there's no way to make a swap partition be exclusive to Linux or vice-versa.

  • Not paying attention in the Grub menu

    Jump

  • Only if you have a swap partition, and if you dual-boot then that swap partition is gonna be overwritten all the time.

  • Australia’s Social Media Ban Was Pushed By Ad Agency Focused On Gambling Ads It Didn’t Want Banned

    Jump

  • They're just as personalized. Google knows everything.

  • How Australia's social media ban threatens free expression

    Jump

  • Apparently there was some academic research making the rounds a few years back about this (and legislation moves slow). Of course, the law is still written by tech-illiterates.

  • Manufacturer issues remote kill command to disable smart vacuum after engineer blocks it from collecting data — user revives it with custom hardware and Python scripts to run offline

    Jump

  • He did. Where he said the article looked AI generated and so he wasn't going to waste any time with it.

  • These platforms are currently exempt from the under-16s social media ban. But that could all change

    Jump

  • There's a really simple solution to this that e-safety refuses to consider. Let anyone make an account but limit public interaction until age is verified. That way they could apply the ban to everything from Reddit and 4chan all the way to Steam and Github without major disruption (well, maybe with Github it'd be a bit disruptive).

    And while they're at it they should do something about algorithmic brain rot.

  • Australia | Teenagers sue over social media ban for ‘violating their right to communicate’

    Jump

  • And Gen Alpha is pretty cooked. They're gonna forget entirely about the ban in a week, if they even notice (because the ban only applies to accounts and not many even use social media logged in).

  • Australia | Teenagers sue over social media ban for ‘violating their right to communicate’

    Jump

  • They won't.

    They shouldn't need to.

    They will still need to under the current form of the social media ban.

  • I don't know about you, but in every circle I'm in the concern is just the abysmal implementation that not only doesn't address the actual problems but kind of makes them worse, and it'd be really easy to write a better policy that properly addresses that without any ID being involved.
