It’s not about ethics, it never was. It’s about CONTROL.
Interested in #science, #environment, #gaming, #auspol, #australia, and more. Currently moving away from corporate social media to exclusively ActivityPub networks - find me on Mastodon, Lemmy and Kbin.

“Infamous” - that means more than famous!
Damn I forgot about the dropbears. Keep your wits about you and you’ll usually be OK, plus we teach kids to stay in pairs if they’re passing through a eucalyptus area.
As an Aussie, I can say the trope of “everything wants you dead” is highly overhyped. I’ve seen three venomous snakes in the wild in my life (and I’ve mostly lived in rural areas) and there’s a couple of venomous spiders, but none that will kill you (unless you’re very young, very old, or very sick). Blue-ringed octopuses, crocodiles and sharks exist, but rarely cause human deaths. You know what we don’t have? Bears. Alligators. Cougars. Wolves. Very few carnivores trying to eat humans here, it’s mostly creatures with excellent self-defense mechanisms.
My fav movie! The perfect blend of sci-fi, action, comedy, and fashion model catwalk.
I came here to make this comment. The Edenists, a genetic fork of humanity, have created sentient machines through biotech. Some of the large space habitats are grown with a layer of neural cells a metre thick - in a cylinder shell that may be 30km long, totalling cubic kilometers of brain matter. Super-intelligent space buildings.
That was fun to read
I’m sure it’s a coincidence that the tobacco industry is thrilled with this news.
I came here looking to see if my point had already been made. Thanks!
Regrettably, political parties are exempt from the DNC Register, even in Australia.
“Registered charities, educational institutions calling students, government bodies and registered political parties are exempt and are allowed to make telemarketing calls to numbers on the register”
Well actshually… Australia used to be run by right-wing nutjobs. The current mob in power are centrist nut jobs.
I refuse to pronounce it that way. But at least “kaysch” sounds better than “cash-ay”
No. If you can’t find it in an autopsy, did it ever exist in the first place? Too many people confuse ‘soul’ for ‘mind’ (IMHO)
