New South Wales independent journalist FriendlyJordies takes down "Coronation" video after death threats persist since arrest of suspect who firebombed his home a year ago.
  • Dudes a better investigative journalist than all of the muppets in the mainstream media at the moment.

    The stuff hes covered and reported on has been ghastly. From corruption and crime in nsw government to drones dropping grenades on village folk.

    How have your kids pissed you off this week?
  • Makes you think If youd just say yes to the lemons would you have avoided the meltdown?

    Been there before and i wish I'd just say "whatever" and avoided a lemon meltdown 😞

    New report illuminates why OpenAI board said Altman “was not consistently candid”
  • The thing that shits me about this is google appear to the public to be late to the party but the reality is they DID put safety before profit when it came to AI. The sheer amount of research and papers put out by them on AI should have proven to people they know what they're doing.

    And then openAI throw caution into the wind and essentially make google and others panic knee jerk because there's really money to be made, and now everyone seems to be throwing caution into the wind and pushing it into the mainstream before society is ready.

    All in the name of shareholders.

    Gabe Newell on why game delays are okay: 'Late is just for a little while. Suck is forever.'
  • Not sure why we're arguing this quote with the same two games over and over. Nms and cyberpunk are great games, but they're a rarity.

    Game Dev crunch is a plague in th industry, we suffer as consumers who cop bad releases on release. The whole industry could learn from its roots and delay things for a better initial product.

    Defending the current practice of redevelopment in post is almost consumer gaslighting.

    Auto execs are coming clean: EVs aren't working
  • This. It's even worse in Australia. The only affordable ev is a Tesla 3 @ 55k AUD. Which even then is out of reach of most.

    Why not make a 30k EV? Penetrate the majority of consumers.

    I'm on a great wage and even I shake my head at 80-120k range of most EVs here. Then you get bwm releasing 180k+ EVs.. who exactly is buying them?

    When you price a technology out of the reach of people, the tech isn't the failure.

    Am I taking crazy pills? Has ChatGPT 4 gotten *substantially worse* the past 48 hours?
  • Weirdly, bard seems to have gotten significantly better around the same time. Are we just getting used to the tools and there's homogenisation of experience going on or what?!

    'Not the end of the road': PM accepts referendum result, maps path forward for Indigenous recognition
  • Literally need to wait for the boomers to die out. Yes there's good ones but the majority are spoilt, entitled and easily influenced by the right and traditional media.

    ‘It’s the same daily misery’: Germany’s terrible trains are no joke for a nation built on efficiency
  • Germans. Come to Melbourne Australia, and as you get off at the airport realise there is no connecting train to the city. Cabs only.

    Brought to you by the cab industry/lobby.

    Australians vote No in referendum that promised change for First Nations people but couldn’t deliver
  • It's interesting to see the breakdown by electorate. Electorates close to Melbourne and Sydney cbds voted yes. The further out of vic and nsw, the more the no grows.

    Qld, wa, NT and SA didn't have the same problem. Blanket no.

    Tldr, the progressive part of the country that wants this is city focused. The rest of the country has a long way to go.

    Google Flat-Out Refuses to Bargain With Workers, Prompting YouTube Music Strike
  • This isn't right. Cognizant are a well known systems integrator. In Australia alone recently they bought out some of the best local SIs just to get presence - contino and Servian, with a rumoured third (versent) on the way..

    Theyre a body shop looking to grow their born in the cloud generstion of engineers.

    android companies vs apple
  • Kind of, yeah. But the foldable gives a tablet experience that you just fold and put in your pocket. It's epic.

    Very true about 3DS...

  • I mean I'm on my fold 5 right now while watching a YouTube video and responding to messages at the same time... doesn't feel like a gimmack to me. In fact I kind of feel like it's going to be hard to ever go back to a single form factor phone.

    These graphs show the stark difference between generations when it comes to the Voice
  • Not really. Because if it could, it would have. This forces it to happen without liberal/conservative interference.

    The fact that it's been impossible thus far to create a significant body to the point where said group of people have forced a referendum to occur should be enough proof that it needs to occur.

    The other part of this is it's not the US. No one knows our constitution, and up until this point most probably didn't even know we had one..
