The phrase, from a government source, that should set alarm bells ringing is an offer of “an offtake agreement that would guarantee the US a reliable supply, free from sovereign risk and other volatility”.#AusPolhttps://www.crikey.com.au/2025/03/14/cowardly-labor-bribe-donald-trump-tariffs/

Do I know anyone on this platform with opinions about hardware for Linux?I think I want a mid-sized tablet (roughly A5 size) to do not much else but run a browser. I would like to spend up to A$150. I can manage a little bit of setup faffing.Any suggestions for hardware readily available in Australia?#Linux

"Every federal election produces articles and news segments dedicated to the question of whether young voters decide the result? The fact that no one has ever seriously claimed after an election that this actually happened gives a hint of how nonsensical the formulation — applied to any demographic group — really is. Elections come down to everyone, certainly in the contestable seats."#AusPolhttps://insidestory.org.au/who-do-you-trust-2025/

One really good thing about elections in Australia that many Aussies may not appreciate, is the ability to vote at pretty much any booth, even outside your own state or territory. In many countries, you can vote at only one booth. My one attempt to vote in a local election when I lived in London was thwarted because I went to 'the wrong polling booth', despite my 'correct booth' being in the same suburb. It was late on a Thursday and cold and wet so I just gave up and went homeI had no trouble voting in the Australian election in London though, of course #AusVotes

One thing we won't be copying the Canadians on is allowing a defeated opposition leader to get a backbencher to resign their seat to allow the OL back into the parliament at the subsequent by-election. It's possible to pull such a stunt in Canada because people just won't bother to turn out for the by-election.With compulsory turnout here, such a move is likely to piss off so many voters that a half-decent independent would win the by-election.#AusVotes

I wish people who wear far too much body spray or perfume could see how large an area they are polluting as they wander around assaulting the respiratory systems of complete strangers

"Through all this, Defence Minister Richard "Tickety-Boo" Marles maintains the relentless optimism of a character in a horror story who insists there's nothing to worry about as the walls start bleeding and the floorboards whisper your name. He assured us this week that there's "no need for a Plan B," which should really have been followed by a comically large tentacle exploding out of his mouth."#AusPol #AUKUS https://aliensideboob.substack.com/p/a-ponzi-scheme-for-used-periscopes

"We would have returned our official inflation rate to the RBA’s preferred range much more quickly if the ABS looked through the tobacco statistics. Instead of fretting and compressing the economy, the bank could have relaxed a little sooner."#AusPol https://www.crikey.com.au/2025/06/26/black-market-cigarettes-tobacco-excise-inflation-australia/

"Schibsted, the Norwegian media and publishing company, built its own AI called NorLLM. But not in any way Silicon Valley would recognise. Unlike the Nazi-curious plagiarism engines of the Valley, NorLLM was trained only on high-quality content; Norwegian language books, both fiction and nonfiction, journalism, and government archives, all with full consent and cooperation from publishers and copyright holders. No scraping. No copyright side-eye. No training Skynet on some incel neckbeard’s 4Chan posts or the psychic scabs of YouTube comment sections. But the radical genius of Norwegian AI wasn’t just in asking permission to use the best data, and only that data. It was in the model’s philosophical design."#AI https://aliensideboob.substack.com/p/defeating-the-fanboys-of-the-torment
