- Comment on OpenAI Furious DeepSeek Might Have Stolen All the Data OpenAI Stole From Us [404 Media] 3 days ago:
I will explain what this means in a moment, but first: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahhahahahahahahahahahahaha.
- Comment on It's been a feature of Australia's elections since federation. Albanese supports a change 3 weeks ago:
The ideal is that a functional government doesn’t change all the time, but a nonfunctional one can be removed before too much damage is done. Consistency isn’t beneficial if it’s consistently bad.
I can’t argue against the constant campaigning.
- Comment on It's been a feature of Australia's elections since federation. Albanese supports a change 3 weeks ago:
I do agree with fixed terms, and would probably approve a referendum that only offered a package deal
- Comment on It's been a feature of Australia's elections since federation. Albanese supports a change 3 weeks ago:
“If you’ve got a three-year cycle, in practice, that often means that you really only have a shorter window of perhaps a couple of years to bring about substantial reform, by which time you’re looking at the next election,” he said.
No, you have three years to bring about substantial reform. If you decide to prioritise campaigning over reform, that’s your decision and a longer term won’t change that.
There was a significant push for one year terms early on, I’d much rather see that than a reduction in our democratic voice.
- Comment on Joe Biden commutes sentences of 37 out of 40 federal death row inmates 5 weeks ago:
The exclusions kind of undermine his statement
“Make no mistake: I condemn these murderers, grieve for the victims of their despicable acts, and ache for all the families who have suffered unimaginable and irreparable loss,” Biden said in a statement released on Monday.
“But guided by my conscience and my experience as a public defender, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, vice-president, and now President, I am more convinced than ever that we must stop the use of the death penalty at the federal level. In good conscience, I cannot stand back and let a new administration resume executions that I halted.”
- Comment on These creators want to change the way you think about remakes 1 month ago:
“We leveraged the fact that many people know about the world and story of the original Final Fantasy VII when we designed the remakes,” Hamaguchi told me during the leadup to Rebirth’s release. “In this title, our general framework follows the original storyline, but at the same time we incorporated elements clearly not included in the original, such as the Whispers and Zack.” This creates a unique opportunity for a remake: uncertainty. “That sort of thrill is very important for this title as a piece of entertainment.”
We have a name for that, “reboot”. Or more cynically, “cash grab”

This maneuver may sound simple, but it involves an entirely new and unique code for which the researchers have sought a patent.
How to make your discovery worthless in a single, idiotic move.

- Comment on Greens announce plan to wipe HECS debts and make university free 2 months ago:
Fuck me, the “rhetorical” question in the lede is answered in the article, buried in the nteenth paragraph.
The policy proposal falls under the Greens’ so-called ‘Robin Hood reforms’ and they have said they will pay for the plan by “taxing big corporations that are profiting off price gouging during a cost of living crisis”.
This is borderline disinformation by the national broadcaster.
- Comment on Greens announce plan to wipe HECS debts and make university free 2 months ago:
This is even worse than when journalists normally ask this question. It’s a debt not a payment.
They will pay for it by finding a $2 coin in the centre console of their government funded car to buy a biro to cross off the line item.
- Comment on High court quashes Albanese government’s ankle bracelet and curfew regime for former immigration detainees 2 months ago:
This is such an obvious conclusion of this saga that I have to assume that Labor saw it coming. If so, it implies that they made a political calculation that it was better for their reaction to be struck down months later than to let the original high court ruling stand.
And they were willing to violate the constitution and fuck with peoples lives for political expedience.

- Comment on Police use capsicum spray on neo-Nazis after clash at Melbourne asylum seeker rally 3 months ago:
Am I missing something or does the article not make sense?
Police formed a line to separate the far-right group from a group of around 300 asylum seeker demonstrators and were forced to use capsicum spray.
Victoria Police said there were no arrests and no reports of injury and they are reviewing footage of the incident.
So did they choose not to arrest neo-nazis breaking the law or did they deploy chemical weapons on people that weren’t breaking the law?

No. “New moon” is just the night side of the moon facing us. A lunar eclipse is when the Earth blocks sunlight from the moon, which can only occur on a full moon approximately every six months.
