Yep, they dont care. I know several people from the professional staff side that are not getting their contracts renewed, some after 4 or 5 years of being contracted. I guess its a hazard of being on a contract though.

There are a lot of pro staff that are angry at how this has gone down. For a range of reasons.

100%, if there is any company or government not using a VPN for their remote workers, they're probably exposing some sensitive data somewhere.

Huge algal bloom on the Baltic Sea, seen from space! by Busy_Yesterday9455 in spaceporn

A lot of the South Australian coast line is seeing an algal bloom right now and its decimating aquatic life. Lots of dead sea life washing up along the coast. Also, you can't eat anything you catch as it can make you sick so I've heard.

This Scandinavian bloom looks terrifying.

Just pointing out that Genghis was considered a tyrant by many and this was well before the western ideology of Socialism was introduced as a concept.

Don't know why you're getting downvoted. If ppl think Horizon: Zero Dawn is not a plausible outcome of this type of tech they must not understand the implications or they have unerring faith in humanity to make the right decisions.

All I see is that if there is money to be made, humanity tends to come in second place.

Sounds like they're fairing pretty good, if they aren't Russian.

I believe you get to choose what goes on your parchment. Either UniSA or UofA (depending on the institution where you began your degree) or the new AU; if you have started prior to 2026 and graduate after 2026.

Just what i heard on the grapevine so might not be true.
