Reading the Online Safety Amendment (Social Media Minimum Age) Bill 2024 release and it's very funny.
This is labor brain. a bunch of people in NSW did a survey and now they think they can win 87% of swing voting parents who don't know how to talk to their kids about anything?
They could have done the right thing and banned ads and algorithmic targeting for under 16s... that' would have made sense?
also, minecraft isn't included in the bill because they're cowards?
After the recent Bluesky VC news, I am motivated to try and support the Fediverse in a more grass roots way.
The Fundiverse.org is going to have donation drives to try and boost the donations so they are hire more full time developers! (Let's see what we can do)
Fundiverse February is coming etc... but please join me and support them today!!
Every donation helps the overworked and burnt out developers grow this wonderful place! There is a massive roadmap for Mastodon, but they currently don't have the time to work on the major features!
Money where mouth is: I've recently donated $1000AUD earmarked to additional time to release management, and you can see the @PostersUnionAU as a Mastodon silver supporter!
Word on the github commits is after 11 months. Mastodon is going to release a major update.
(We're already running the latest code so A.S people won't notice) but god damn 11 months is a long time between releases for the rest of the ecosystem.
@pfefferle WP-AP 3.0 is excellent. I like the creator tag.. but I'd love to be able to point the creator tag to this account. my primary mastodon instead of the WP blog author.
