@gotofritz @nixCraft so, to be fair I know people who were laid off because of AI. I recently installed Graphene OS (and am Linux user for decades), and there is something quite refreshing about having a system that isnt packed with third-party surprises, that gives you privilege of control as much as you want it, and that you can trust was actually designed in and for your interests.

@gotofritz @nixCraft sure, I don't think that many people have issue with the technology per sei, as much as concern about what it represents socially (I think, if it makes the world a better place is at least uncertain). Especially where it is (even directly) forced apon people who do not want it.

@luciedigitalni@aus.social personally I have sympathy for Albo, particularly with the failure of the voice referendum (and before him with scomo and the bushfires&covid). I think he has learnt the lesson (not unjustified) that his principle job is to keep Australians safe - undisturbed from change. I wonder it says more about us.

@luciedigitalni@aus.social sure, no doubt that money tugs politics generally. But I think it is telling, that Albo sees rising prices at the bowser as deserving of national address. Providing sense of security and order is one of the most primal reasons for government, including preserving systems that are predatory and culturally embedded Don't get me wrong, I am not a Labor supporter. I wonder we are like a blind dragon. Lot of power, difficult to read and resent needing politicians to lead us anywhere
