We all know that our single biggest existential threat is Climate Change. A potential runner-up may be governments' push for rapid, unfettered uptake of AI. Anthropic recently blocked an attempt to use AI to create biological weapons. See also this article... www.bbc.com/news/article... #auspol

#auspol Privacy is a hot topic at present. Anything we share on cloud services such as Google Drive etc, plus gmail, hotmail, etc. are being purloined for AI training. Here are some hints on how to take back some degree of privacy. Not easy but worth it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vrD...

Meanwhile, the Australian political and media establishment continues with the farce that we have a healthy democracy. #HumanRights #auspol

#auspol #AgedCare The Nov 2025 changes to the Support At Home system appear to be a major fail despite gov't claims to the contrary. If service providers can't make a buck out of it after having increased their prices by an average 38% - what next? www.theweeklysource.com.au/the-just-rel...

#auspol #AgedCare Hoo Rae, Old news but Aged Care Support at Home waiting lists were eventually shortened after pressure on govt to fix them. Now typically need to wait only about 10 months for interim funding at 60% of entitlement, then wait another period for the remainder. Too late for some.

"I support the right of Israel to exist within secure borders," says Albo. It seems to have escaped his attention that conveniently, thieving genocidal #Israel has never declared its borders, instead continually expanding its original theft. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-07... #Palestine #auspol

Currently learning Dioxus (0.7.7) & Rust for hobby projects and loving it. Learning curve is a bit steep, but background experience in Next/Vite/Js/Ts/React helps a lot. Just to prove that the Rust language is a good fit for everyone, I am tackling this new challenge aged 80+. #dioxus #rust

#auspol Anzac Day. The day of the year when we Australians remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice to defend our unique way of life, while regretting that our current 'leader' lacks the moral fibre needed to resist rogue forces hellbent on destroying that very lifestyle in the name of profit.

Hey Sam Rae Minister for the aged, @australianlabor.bsky.social assessment of patients using an algorithm that cannot be overturned is pure fucking psychopath. You should resign your position #Auspol

Regulation gone Mad! Visited Bunnings to get some hacksaw blades. Young joker manning the checkout asked me if I was over 18, despite my grey hair, wheelly-walker, and obvious over-80 appearance. Hacksaw blades are now categorized as bladed tools that can no longer be sold to under 18's!

From the River Torrens to Glenelg.

#auspol #AgedCare There is an interesting doco named "Careless" currently running on Netflix. It highlights the plight of aged Australians as a result of "care" privatisation since the Hawke/Keating era with progressive degrading in the name of profit during the Howard, Morrison, & Albanese eras.

#auspol #Aged-Care The Govt is perpetuating the "Wealthy Boomer" myth to justify aged-care funding cuts - even though 26% of Australians over 65 are renting and therefore unlikely to own significant assets. hellocare.com.au/government-i...

#auspol Geez I wish Australian🙄 Govts would employ some competent web designers. Just applied for a postal vote in upcoming SA election. No option to enter date of birth using keyboard. Had to click a 'month-back' button over 960 times to select my birth-date during WW2. Age discrimination? 🙄

#auspol #ABC24 Dear ABC news readers. The word 'listen' is an intransitive verb, not a noun. No point in telling your audience to take a listen.

Hi from Bambi and Bella. Much too hot to venture outside today so we are relaxing inside near the aircon. (45 degrees C = 113 degrees F)

#auspol Witnessed some very un-Australian behavior at my local Bunnings this morning. Guy in front of me in the checkout queue was buying a Starlink kit.

Warning: "brushing" scam! Received unsolicited gift of 6 WIFI "security" cameras ex China. No name on package, just address. Activating any of them (they contain a charged battery) would have exposed my WIFI router (& any attached devices) to 4 dubious Chinese websites www.mcafee.com/blogs/tips-t...

#auspol The sky is very dark where I live this Sunday morning and the gloom is compounded by the realization that there is no Sunday Shot episode on today.

#Caturday The perils facing cats outdoors. This is Bambi (aka "Her Royal Heaviness", aged 6 shown with a 12 x 1 cm twig that was found almost fully embedded under her belly skin today (thankfully no blood). She had escaped outside, climbed onto the roof, and jumped into a tree.

#auspol MOO ALERT! #ABC24

#auspol Aged care Support At Home offers taxpayer savings by allowing people to remain in their homes longer rather than moving into institutions. But recent changes have mandated service co-payments that are unaffordable for many pensioners. Please sign this petition: www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/...

#auspol Now what was that claim about improved transparency? hellocare.com.au/government-b...

#auspol Recall how our current government claimed credit for early release of 20000 aged care Support at Home packages (after being pressured to do so)? The hidden detail is that many of these were funded to an "interim" value of only 60%. ETA for the remaining 40% unknown.
