  • Queensland moves to ban pro-Palestine slogan ‘from the river to the sea’ under sweeping new hate speech laws

  • Nah just reflecting on the absurdity that the mere mention of river and sea may be criminalised by the Queensland government soon.

  • Oh, and that's just a teaser! The full thing is a 90 page book. Looks like it might be available online for residents' state libraries (australia), and hardcopy, and maybe elsewhere:

  • According to worldbank.org:

    • In 2022 the crude death rate across Gaza and West Bank was 3.0/1000pop/year.
    • In 2023 it was 7.0/1000pop/year.

    I expect Gaza specific stats are worse. Maybe someone else has further info they can cite, perhaps also relating to 2024-2025, but like others have said, such data is difficult to collect when Israel repeatedly bombs hospitals and their personnel.

  • I reckon posts linking to your self-hosted videos would work if they had an embedded video -- if your instance set the <meta property="og:video ..."\> tags appropriately.

    Also possible to make posts on your own instance which automatically federate to lemmy communities, as in this example which originates from a mastodon instance: https://lemmy.ml/post/41288461

  • Asbestos can be used by kids as chewing gum:

    Wittenoom's roads were paved with asbestos tailings from the nearby mines and workers went home covered in a layer of deadly dust.

    Children played in the lethal mineral, and some even stuffed it in their mouths as a substitute for chewing gum.

  • Has anyone else switched to a dumbphone?

  • I wonder if a smartphone with e-ink display would be a good solution.

    Good enough for secure messaging & calling apps, usable with their existing touch-UIs, yet devoid of the addictive potential enabled by vibrant colour, smooth-scroll, and video.

    Can even still use the camera -- just need to wait until you 'develop' them by transferring to another device/medium with full colour or a video-capable display.

  • I'm just grappling for an objective measure of the impact hazard posed by a given vehicle which might be more accurate than weight alone.

    Impact hazard × Impact likelyhood could form a determination of whether a vehicle should be subject to a Zero BAC requirement.

    Impact likelyhood should be determined by dimensions and sight-lines -- maybe there's a good comprehensive measure of this that doesn't give too much weight to things like ADAS?

    Jump

  • On weight, why not? – because F=ma – weight influences the risk posed by the vehicle regardless of whether it is lithium or steel.

    Then again, newer cars have ANCAP pedestrian/vulnerable road user safety ratings which could override a weight threshold where available.
