Can I tax deduct the portion of my electricity bill that goes towards heating my study with folding@home. That counts as a donation, right?

Ticketek sent me a tearful missive about their victimisation by evil hackers in which they secured their customer data roughly as well as a cooling pie on a window sill in a Warner Brothers cartoon.

Does anyone have a spare Lenovo charger (one of the rectangular proprietary ones) that they can donate to Computers for a Cause? I've had a perfectly good laptop donated without a charger. #C4AC

This is a remarkable graph.

You might have heard that "EV sales are slumping", "people are starting to avoid EVs", etc.

That's not what's happening.

What's happening is "Tesla is cratering so hard that it's skewing the aggregate market data."

A farmer from New South Wales recently visited Japan and discovered that Australian #meat was being sold in Tokyo for less than it costs in major Australian supermarkets. Analysts argue that direct comparisons can be "misleading" without accounting for factors such as global import competition, differences in meat cuts, and exchange rate fluctuations. Although #Coles and #Woolworths have denied allegations of price gouging, the #ACCC is set to release an interim report on its inquiry into supermarkets by August.

Western Australia has tabled a bill that - if passed - would finally establish a privacy framework in the state. It also could lead the nation on on privacy rights. Our Board Member Piotr has taken a look and is here to explain: https://digitalrightswatch.org.au/2024/05/28/how-western-australia-could-lead-the-nation-on-privacy/

💁‍♂️ instead of whitelist/blacklist, use allow list & block list.

I’m still seeing the former in plenty of tech content, it’s almost like y’all aren’t even trying to evolve

Did you know that there is a 1:1 scale replica of the world-famous #Shibuya Scramble intersection that can be rented by TV and film productions located 80 km northwest of Tokyo in the city of #Ashikaga? The real intersection is so busy that nobody can close it down for controlled filming.

This set was notably used in the hit Japanese TV series Alice in Borderland.

Australia's privacy watchdog won't investigate TikTok after failing to find evidence showing a "clear and obvious" breach of the Privacy Act, adding the law "urgently" needs reform.

The privacy commissioner also seems to suggest TikTok's tracking isn't out of line with other social media platforms

I wonder what impact changes to Google's algorithm will have on cultural institutions with KPIs based on web visits.

I remember when I was manager of Trove in 2014 or so we had a drop in traffic that coincided with Google changes. Had to include a note in the annual report along the lines of 'Google did something'...
