I feel like Australian governments love having an excuse to crack down on speech and assembly laws. My friend, Nick, wrote a piece #auspol

Banning protest in NSW has nothing to do with antisemitism, and everything to do with control
New laws to ban assemblies in NSW show that the NSW Government is more interested in the raw exercise of power than in democratic debate.

So you know how Steam updates their TOS to restrict "NSFW" content at the request of payment processors like Visa and Mastercard?
The group behind that pressure campaign is coming after Itch.io.
If you are selling books on itch, this concerns you.

Australian anti-porn group claims responsibility for Steam's new censorship rules in victory against 'porn sick brain rotted pedo gamer fetishists', and things only get weirder from there

Trump is threatening 200% tariffs on Australia's 3rd biggest export, pharmaceuticals. US big pharma hates our PBS – it buys medicine cheap & passes savings to Australians.
Aus Gov can look after Australians by standing firm & not subjecting us to US prices.

I would like for wealthy people excited for tax cuts to sign a piece of paper acknowledging that every dollar they get in tax breaks is going to be paid for by someone else…either someone not getting healthcare or SNAP or some future person paying higher taxes to pay the interest on our new debt.

Ever since I moved back to the #iPhone 5 years ago, I've been annoyed by it inexplicably sliding down half the screen. Today I discovered Reachability, and it is the best #accessibility feature for the giant nonsense phone I have. I will probably use it every day.

So I used @snell.zone's excellent idea of using MacOS Tahoe's private cloud compute shortcut to generate image alt tags on some of my photos. Generally does ok, but does occasionally go a bit overboard...

The accused assassin allegedly used data brokers to track down the Democratic lawmakers he murdered. Congress doesn't need any more proof that selling data to anyone with a credit card is deadly. Every American's safety is at risk until Congress cracks down on data brokers.
The man accused of shooting two Minnesota Dems allegedly found their addresses online. That has prompted some lawmakers to call for tighter oversight on how personal info is shared online.

I can't believe the world I live in has forced me to say this, but since I know my industry well: TV reaction youtubers, if this show ever happens, do not talk about it. Even an "I watched it so you don't have to." No one has to watch this, and no one should.
Kristi Noem has been working with the producer of “Duck Dynasty” to pitch a reality TV show—titled “The American”—where immigrants will compete in a string of challenges across the country “for the honor of fast-tracking their way to U.S. citizenship,” according to a new report.
Noem Plots Reality Show Where Migrants Fight for Citizenship
A Homeland Security official told the Daily Beast that the show is in the early stages of vetting, though approval has not been given—or denied.
