News from July 2022 @strypey Is it good or bad that he died on his 103rd birthday? That must make 26 July #JamesLovelock Day

@Polychrome In Australia and New Zealand there's a Facial Recognition system, #PatronScan used by bars to record photos and names and id cards so the bars can blacklist anyone who behaves badly. The Terms and Conditions don't specifiy an end date for use of the data nor how to challenge decisions to ban them. Some people could find themselves on a banned list ten years after a student mishap. https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/119252950/nightclub-id-scanners-share-information-on-unruly-drinkers-trans-tasman

@strypey @pluralistic maybe @drdeanknight will be able to access the legal decision text of the case involving the Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC) and Meta and tell us?

@strypey If PM and government want to help support people doing it tough they could consider funding #FoodBanks and other social safety nets. Make sure people can actually have #BreadAndButter or #FruitAndCereal or what food they can eat that they actually like and that sustains them #NZpol

@mekkaokereke good post. Small suggestion, people who have fled real world conflict zones or environmental disasters, and their supporters, have asked if posters can avoid use of term "refugees" for people leaving Twitter.

@JonathanMBR There are thousands of children working in the USA too. Prosecutions are only the tip of the iceberg and child labour is rife in agricultural areas. A problem is migrant kids are still probably safer working in USA than in the countries they came from. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/child-labor-laws-migrants-illegal-jobs-labor-department/

@clive @bhawthorne We still have libraries with actual books, although even there storage limits restrict how long items are kept.

@foone Honestly, for people who don't wear a bras / brassiere there are bras with underwires sewn into the cup to support breasts, and there are bras without the underwires, especially for generously endowed people who pind the wires poke into them. Signed, a bras user who prefers wireless to underwired.

@strypey @norightturnnz Many similarities to appointment of Dr Melissa Derby as Race Relations Commissioner. Not a candidate but a late entry. #NZpolhttps://thespinoff.co.nz/politics/14-10-2024/controversial-human-rights-commissioners-werent-recommended-by-hiring-panel"Gender critical".

@strypey Also worth checking out what your local library has. Some films may be available on DVD. Some may be available on e-library provided services like Kanopy. Some older films used to be on TVNZ+ and may return!

@strypey thanks for sharing that. I looked at Badly Drawn Boy and Year of the Rat but got distracted by others in their grouping.

@lightweight I'm fortunate that my partner and I share moments of amusement over warped Brit humour. Shared culture helps.Our younger flatmate sometimes gets it and sometimes looks blankly at us ...

@strypey that sounds like a tech challenge not a hackathon challenge.
