@ajsadauskas @pluralistic @technology Needs to be nationalised; or more precisely, converted to a non-profit body.

@ajsadauskas @awelder @jedsetter @nictea @philip @fuck_cars And Perth doesn't even have much of a pre-car inner-city, so it's dominated by car-friendly suburbia. The new train lines are good, but it's a pity they run between freeways and thus miss out on local walkable neighbourhoods around them.

@ajsadauskas @philip @fuck_cars "planned railways" to significant locations are never built. Take the airport as an example.

@ajsadauskas @degoogle I actually contributed to one! I was a writer at LookSmart for four years; we manually created categories and added websites to then, with short descriptive reviews. Though an algorithm listed more sites below our selections, we could force the top result, eg we'd make sure the most relevant website was the first result of a search on that topic. Old-skool now, but had better results in some ways.

@skribe @ajsadauskas @eatham @unionagainstdhmo Could always be moved.

@ajsadauskas @eatham @unionagainstdhmo I think 9 May, when federal parliament first met in 1901. It's the right year, and more convenient than 1 Jan.

@ajsadauskas @kowcop @naevaTheRat Everyone loves talking about trains. :)

@ajsadauskas @fediverse I'd quite like to be able to link up with people I miss who are on other platforms.
