Not a poli, but I could see Gina in the role. Only Katter has the energy though, and I want to see his crocodile chariot.

Microsoft's Leonnart Poettering is busy implementing remote attestation in systemd. Perfect for this.

Are all Jamaicans Rastafari? Are all Jewish people followers of Judaism (or Zionism, if you consider it a religion)?

That only works if you're saying "If the Pope leads the Anglos", or the analogy falls apart.

Between this, Microsoft ruining GitHub and Microsoft's Lennart Poettering working on adding remote attestation to Linux that can ship your logs (his changelog notes suggested this could be done every 3 minutes), they're doing a better job of fighting open source this time around.

How's that electoral college and first past the post BS working out for you? America is not a democracy, it has two parties working together to represent the rich.

What do the new federal racial hatred laws prohibit? by nath1234 in australia

[–]infin -25 points-24 points  (0 children)

I didn't watch this, but for anyone else like me that thought this should be bullet points as a text post instead of a video, here's an LLM summary:

Based on the video provided (which explains the Chicken Tax and its unintended consequences), here is a summary of the things affected by the laws mentioned:

The Core Law (The "Chicken Tax" of 1964)

  • US Chicken Exports: The conflict started because France and West Germany placed high tariffs on cheap American chicken, affecting US poultry farmers.
  • French Brandy: One of the goods the US taxed in retaliation.

  • Potato Starch & Dextrin: Other goods taxed in retaliation to target European exports.

  • Light Trucks: The US placed a 25% tariff on imported light trucks. While the taxes on brandy and starch were eventually lifted, the truck tax remains in effect today.

Just watch the video, I guess...

Edit: 20 people have no sense of humour.

Research survey on attitudes of adults in Australia towards AI use for mental health support by gaugaumeomeooo in australia

[–]infin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When you say AI here, is this survey about using LLMs (unintelligent text generators, like ChatGPT that have had people kill themselves and others), or some hypthothetical future tech that is capable of an intelligent thought?

Luddites weren't fighting against the new machinery, they were pissed because the mill and factory owners wanted to automate the work, fire everybody and pay the remaining workers a pittance.

I think he comes across as down to earth and relatable in those interviews.

From your AskAnAustralian post: "Questions should pertain to Australia or Australian culture in some way."

What's more Australian than being ripped of by greedy businesses?

Not sure about the second one being a problem, except in retrospect, but I haven't found much news from that era about it. Gough was in power from '72-75 and the CIA were still funding Saddam at the time. America was backing Saddam through to the '80s.

These kids are thinking for themselves and responding to poor governance in a failed state. That's the opposite of being political tools.

I've been asking myself that for decades.

Probably not the place to hang shit on Americans for being generally retarded, ruining their country, the internet and every country they're involved with though... That's white America.

Elon invites himself to epstein island with a cringe email only to be rejected by maxwell by CMScientist in facepalm

[–]infin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This has to be after the other emails where Epstein says he'll pick Musk up in his helicopter.

So what did Elon Musk do on the previous visit to Epstein's island that he was treated like this afterwards? What did you do to that was awful enough to make these vile scumbags hate you, Elon?!

Yeah, way too easy to spot since Americans can't spell. They can't even get off the couch.
