Governments fear the power that free anonymous speech has and they are desperate to take it away from everyone. Don't let them.

@Thejimpenman Run away from IT, you'll be competing against people from overseas who's certifications are more valuable than yours. At least in trades the Aussie whitecards are preferenced over foreign worker's credentials.

@ausstockchick The old investment settings meant that anyone earning an average wage or less, that didn't own a home would end up homeless in retirement. Superannuation won't cover rent. Things had to change. ALP refuses to touch migration, but that'll be the next domino to fall. More to come.

@rationalaussie Meh, the billionaires will start killing everyone now that their immortality treatments are starting to come online.

@lesstenny Pauline Hanson will win elections until the ALP Taxes the Gas industry, makes housing affordable and rebalances the economy towards home ownership and workers.

@Romination97 Guess what happens to migration as the rental market collapses? Politically migration will become untenable.

@undefinedhandle Gambling on a credit market is hilariously risky. Housing is a credit market. Sorry no one told you you were still gambling.

@blowingtom2 The banks and both major parties ruined this country with greed and insane house prices. A couple working retail used to be able to buy a house in Adelaide/Melbourne/Brisbane/Perth/Darwin. One Nation voters want to destroy the system that screwed that birthright away from us.

@AshPolitik 7 Generations in, I am from here. There's no ties to Europe.

@Noahpinion Up to 25% of trans people are Autistic. It’s a statistically significant number. Programming is known to be attractive to autistic people so it’s not that surprising there’s overlap.

@AussieVal10 House prices so high most people will be broke in retirement. Really “fair” Hughsie. Have a sook.

@samstrades Cool, can't wait to see what my 20KG of Silver and 500gm of Gold will buy.

@4mambo Break up the AMA, the Doctors union is too powerful. Force the creation of more student positions in hospitals/universities. Medicine is being gatekeot so we have to top up with foreign workers. The medical union is the problem.

@vivoplt You don't have to make money in open source, you just have to be useful. A lot of people are not motivated by money.

@benz145 The best VR games are Star Wars: X-Wing Remake, Star Wars: X-Wing Alliance, and Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries and Mechwarrior 5: Clans. The Descent games work well in VR. Wing Commander needs a VR remake. Freespace 2's VR mode needs a clean up.

[James Carthew @DarkMJC]

@benz145 VR support should be added to every space flight/flight simulator game out there. It's criminal how many simulator games are missing VR that would benefit from minimal changes to add support for it.

[James Carthew @DarkMJC]

@AlcatorSK @benz145 Depends on the game, Descent 1/2/3 translated perfectly into VR with that method. The main thing that had to be updated was scaling the HUD by 0.8 to make it fit in the VR headset view, that was because the PSVR2 headset rubber inserts block the last 20% of the screens.

@mrr78504 @cyberpunkdingo Wrong, it teaches customer service, it often teaches entry level skills in ERP/Data Management/Data Entry. It teaches workers to learn how to escalate issues. Just because you haven't worked in a call centre doesn't mean the skills learnt there aren't useful.

@elonmusk Million dollar median house prices in every capital city against average full time earnings of $60k/year will do that to you.

[James Carthew @DarkMJC]

@mrr78504 @cyberpunkdingo By allowing our IT workforce to be mostly imported and trained overseas in India/China/South America we are destroying our pool of local talent for securing our critical infrastructure. Government departments are having to use outside contractors with no loyalty to Australia.

[James Carthew @DarkMJC]

@mrr78504 @cyberpunkdingo There is no such thing as unskilled work, all work becomes more efficient with time/investment/experience. Entry level roles become senior positions later. By scrapping entry level roles we are killing our capabilities. This is becoming a national security issue in cybersec.
