The main issue some people have is how it affects over 16s and privacy laws around storing ids or using face recognition software to determine a users age.

I think this is terrible, our government hasn’t given any ideas on how it’ll be implemented. It was rushed through parliament even with pushback and the sites it’s applied to / not applied to seem to be counter intuitive to the goal.

Any ideas on how a decentralised protocol would implement something like this? (Given they appear to want strict Id checks)

Just curious, is there a reason you use this handle over theasianavenger.com (which you seem to own?)

Always knew us Australians were doing something right. (To be fair I’ve heard a lot of people in Australian companies are more open and honest with each other in the workplace compared to other places)

Ok computer is above in rainbows for me but this is a solid 3rd place. The instrumentation is just incredible.

Was just able to buy the minecraft volume alpha vinyl after an hour of band camp struggling and saying it was sold out. Is this how Taylor swift fans are feeling when they finally get tickets?

Rottnest Island in Western Australia has a large population of Quokkas, who have little natural predators there and are very friendly meaning you can get pretty close to them for a selfie. Here’s my (kinda average) one!

@emily.bsky.team unless when you use an invite the other one comes straight after?

Did this take the place of a regular invite, I feel I was meant to get another code last night but maybe my math is terrible (it probably is)

I should not be trusted with this much power.

Really don’t get the point of following everyone, I assume once custom timelines become a thing this will stop.
