The main issue some people have is how it affects over 16s and privacy laws around storing ids or using face recognition software to determine a users age.

That didn’t work for anything when I was a kid growing up with tech

I think this is terrible, our government hasn’t given any ideas on how it’ll be implemented. It was rushed through parliament even with pushback and the sites it’s applied to / not applied to seem to be counter intuitive to the goal.

Any ideas on how a decentralised protocol would implement something like this? (Given they appear to want strict Id checks)

Twitch Twitch is the world

Just curious, is there a reason you use this handle over theasianavenger.com (which you seem to own?)

Always knew us Australians were doing something right. (To be fair I’ve heard a lot of people in Australian companies are more open and honest with each other in the workplace compared to other places)

Ok computer is above in rainbows for me but this is a solid 3rd place. The instrumentation is just incredible.

Decks dark is so incredible

If it doesn’t have a Radiohead cover, Is it even a movie trailer?

Was just able to buy the minecraft volume alpha vinyl after an hour of band camp struggling and saying it was sold out. Is this how Taylor swift fans are feeling when they finally get tickets?

I can't explain it but Howard the Duck looks like adult Macaulay Culkin

Selfie of Alex and a quokka on Rottnest island

Rottnest Island in Western Australia has a large population of Quokkas, who have little natural predators there and are very friendly meaning you can get pretty close to them for a selfie. Here’s my (kinda average) one!

@emily.bsky.team unless when you use an invite the other one comes straight after?

Did this take the place of a regular invite, I feel I was meant to get another code last night but maybe my math is terrible (it probably is)

Get the fucking nerds back on

You know what, I take this back. This jealousy is completely rational.

Australian movie release dates make me irrationally jealous of other countries

I just got my second so I imagine you'll get yours tomorrow?

The bom should replace their rain radar for Melbourne with a roulette wheel

Map apps have this incredible ability to never show me the street names I care about.

2 weeks (which is how long they said it would take)

I’ve gotten my first invite code.

I should not be trusted with this much power.

If I have 6 edge functions and 4 face functions, how many vertex functions do I have?

Okay so I guess it’s time to have my hot take.

I don’t like the name “bluesky”

Love everything else they’re doing, just not the name.

Hello it's me your good friend Amazon S3

Picture showing that no bluesky team members follow me

Oof

Really don’t get the point of following everyone, I assume once custom timelines become a thing this will stop.

How the fuck did verstappen get 3rd with that. Red Bull really are a mile ahead of everyone else.

Wish I was an AFL commentator and could get paid ridiculous money to talk absolute shit.
