#Aussie #tech and support professional in the public sector; enjoys #technology, security, #travel, #cooking & #photography. Will have fun changing name, based on how I feel at the time, or sometimes just a most recent snack. Tinkers more than a bit with #HomeAutomation with #HomeAssistant.

@maudenificent If he really wanted to do something, they’d sunset Diesel fuel rebate over the next five years, forcing a massive shift over to EV’s in the transport, construction and mining sectors. They’d also incentivise the heck out of EV’s; by restore the FBT exemption for PHEV’s, remove the FBT exemption for new fossil fueled vehicle purchases, and sunset the exemption on existing vehicles of this type. A clear market signal that the Government is going to stop subsiding fossil fuels.

Ok, there’s a tattoo you don’t see every day. Mid 30’s women, getting off the train at Warwick, with the old Nokia logo tattooed on her left arm above the elbow. As in this Nokia logo:

RE: https://mastodon.social/@arstechnica/117004067823775244 How quaint. A company is being forced to make quality code because its decades of technical debt and laziness are finally biting it in the behind.

Anyone know/able to identify what species of Owl this is? (Joondalup area, Western Australia)

Found the poor thing being harassed by an army of magpies and crows on my way to work. Presuming it was tired and just trying to make it home.

Even a bigger object (me) couldn’t scare off the magpies and crows enough to leave the owl alone.

(Sorry @owlsintowels@mas.to, this one isn’t in a towel)

Just leaving Lakeside, and there was a guy standing waiting near the entrance.

He was wearing a black t-shirt, which had Elon Musk on it, and the caption at the top saying “If not a Nazi”.

I couldn’t see the rest, so I politely asked if I could see the rest of the shirt.

It said “Then why Nazi shaped?”.

Worthy of a fist bump and some positive comments.

@merill@infosec.exchange I enjoy the weekly newsletter, and seeing people have built tools like this… But they might have hoped it sparked someone at Microsoft, say a Principal Product Manager, to stop and ask a series of appropriate Why questions (starting with “Why did a user need to build a tool like this in the first place?”), before getting to addressing the root cause of “What needs to done to deliver better products/technical interfaces that are easier to reach and achieve the desired task in”.

@Bern@aus.social @NewtonMark@eigenmagic.net And looking at the summary of the four such offences prosecuted in NSW and sentences arising since 2001 (https://publicdefenders.nsw.gov.au/documents/sentencing-tables-index/assault-wound-gbh-affray/s47-crimes-act-use-substance-with-intent.pdf) the Appeals judges may think they got off lightly. Nydegger v R [2024] NSWCCA 232 could be informative for a harsher or upheld sentence - where the defendant actually had a serious mental illness (schizophrenia) that actually could impact judgement.
