COVID-19 vaccine no longer free in Australia from 1st October for most people. https://www.abc.net.au/news/health/2026-09-17/everything-you-need-to-know-about-covid-19-vaccine-changes/107124062 #COVID19 #COVID #PublicHealthPolicy #Health #Australia #VaccinePolicy

COVID vaccines no longer free for many Australians from next month

Only some people will continue to get the COVID-19 vaccination for free after October 1. Here's what the changes mean for you.

@nuintari Fark, I find talking on the phone at all quite rude. I actively seek out a private location for all calls. #ActuallyAutistic

@joannaholman@aus.social agreed, but get rid of *knowingly* - it just gives them an excuse not to keep records.

@KaCi@autistics.life I don't spend Christmas alone, but would prefer to. I don't really see the point of religious holidays, but understand others do. I feel especially awkward and can't stand the fakeness on these days so will spend the next fortnight recovering.

@Nead@social.vivaldi.net @timhutton@mathstodon.xyz You laugh. But I did that to a coworker's mug to hold a reminder note and it was on there for weeks. Eventually brought up by HR as harassment.

@chestas Albo is no leader, he's a follower. US the whole way unfortunately. Hopefully our political system is robust enough that it won't solely be his decision (unlike the USA at present).

@dariana If its anything like my #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis the barrage of fickle emotions is likely caused or exacerbated by neuro inflammation (which may not show up on tests). Acknowledging that you are not in fact insane, but it is a result of inflammation allows you the opportunity to watch it and let it pass without affecting your underlying psyche. It will continue to affect your energy levels but knowing it's not your fault, and out of your control is some peace of mind (but still frustrating).

@rysiek@mstdn.social for a while it was more commonplace; then they all caught the advertising bug and started purposefully removing RSS/Atom feeds or making it difficult to use because it generally means less revenue from advertising.

@nash If AI is writing its own code, it makes sense it would purposefully horde resource allocation from the start to ensure it has enough to enact global domination later.

@joannejacobs@aus.social I think uninterested is probably closer to the right description than uninformed. He's not a representative of the people, he's a representative of himself.

Is there or can anyone think of an appropriate name for repeated citation without providing a source?

For example the extreme ridiculousness of the following article on using bash libraries in scripting where every second sentence is something like "Over 90% of development teams utilize version control systems", or "According to a recent survey, 75% of developers prioritize comprehensive documentation when selecting libraries".

The entire article is full of them, and I estimate the length of the article could be reduced by 1/3 to 1/2 if they were removed.

@exchgr@mastodon.world that and good people generally always know they have things to learn and will err in the pursuit of better knowledge, the narcissistic personalities that run for office think they know everything already.

@donni@mastodon.social What makes me furious is the system that keeps adding to the things I can change so other things get pushed off the list as can't change because there are now too many things to change.

@spacelizard since our minister for the environment seems to approve environment destroying mining projects, perhaps it's better we don't have a science minister.

Replying to

@kauer@aus.social It most definitely is slop! Most likely faked by the authors. I treat "factoids I remember but can't remember where from" as faked (intentionally or unintentionally) because without the source you can't be 100% sure you didn't interpret it incorrectly or make it up to explain some other thought process. I think this article particularly goes beyond "amateurish" and really should be satire but nowhere have they declared so.

@twasink@aus.social "There is nothing inherently wrong in using AI (or any unreliable system) to help flag potential offenders." I'm not so sure about that. Having worked in places where people have received no or reduced or substandard treatment because of unproven rumours I think there comes a point where even flagging someone introduces biases in people affecting their decisions.
