Just a year ago, Sandisk shares traded near $US33. They’re now around $US905 – a 2700 per cent run that would have turned a $35,000 punt into $1 million. Over the same window, Atlassian has lost roughly two-thirds of its value, with the stock down 85 per cent from its 2021 peak, despite the company posting its first billion-dollar cloud quarter"</p><p>oof</p><p><a href="https://www.theage.com.au/technology/a-40-year-old-storage-company-just-beat-mike-cannon-brookes-atlassian-20260420-p5zpcw.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theage.com.au/technology/a-40-</span><span class="invisible">year-old-storage-company-just-beat-mike-cannon-brookes-atlassian-20260420-p5zpcw.html</span></a></p> @decryption Hardly surprising. Storage is useful. Atlassian "software" is complete crap. Easy to do the maths.

Open post Owen 🇦🇺🦘 @owen3d@fosstodon.org · 5mo ago Replying to @augustusbrown@aus.social <p>A quick look at the narrowed bike lanes on Elizabeth Street, Richmond. </p><p>The positives. The new smooth surface and removal of road humps from the bike lane are great. You can ride without giving attention to pavement obstacles.</p><p>However, the bike lane is now too narrow for social cycling and passing. This was considered to be a luxury item by the populist mayor and low on his hierarchy that puts car parking above. </p><p>I think social cycling is very important for normalising bicycle transport from an early age. The simple act of allowing a parent to cycle beside their child with a hand on their back goes a long way. </p><p>As a side note, this bike lane plus the buffer would be about the width of a stepped bike lane design from Copenhagen. They don't bother with buffer space there and let you use the whole width between the footpath and parking lane (example linked below). If such a design was made here, you'd keep parking and still allow social cycling.</p><p><a href="https://www.google.com.au/maps/@55.684195,12.543591,3a,26.7y,91.76h,78.8t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1slqrrvNKS1y_VqQdaPH_q1g!2e0!7i16384!8i8192" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">google.com.au/maps/@55.684195,</span><span class="invisible">12.543591,3a,26.7y,91.76h,78.8t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1slqrrvNKS1y_VqQdaPH_q1g!2e0!7i16384!8i8192</span></a></p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/TransportPlanning" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TransportPlanning</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Melbourne" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Melbourne</span></a></p> @augustusbrown@aus.social With no buffer, I wonder how many cyclists get car-door'd in Copenhagen...🤔
