"#CoryDoctorow : It’s been 25 years since I started working for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, an American nonprofit dedicated to preserving and promoting human rights on the internet. I’ve found myself in dozens of countries working with activists, politicians and civil servants to untangle the complex technical questions raised by the internet, and every one of our discussions ended in the same place. “OK,” they’d say, “you’ve definitely laid out the best way to regulate tech, but we can’t do it.”
Why not? Because – inevitably – the US trade rep had beaten me to every one of those countries and made it eye-wateringly clear that if they regulated tech in a way that favoured their own people, industries and national interests, the US would bury them in tariffs."
Let's hope you are right @npub1fdr…lvhs and we now get to do better!

that's what paltoalto says
"The very first Act passed by Australia's first federal government, led by Prime Minister Edmund Barton, was the Consolidated Revenue Act 1901, passed in April 1901 to allow the new government to collect and spend money, followed quickly by laws like the Immigration Restriction Act 1901 (part of the White Australia Policy) and the Commonwealth Franchise Act 1902, establishing the framework for the new nation's operations. "
and of course it's about spending money 😆

"Offshore wind turbines create all-you-can-eat havens where some fish can double in size"
https://reneweconomy.com.au/offshore-wind-turbines-create-all-you-can-eat-havens-where-some-fish-can-double-in-size/
Love this 🦠🦐🐠🐳
"Certain species of fish can be up to two times bigger when living in protected offshore wind farm zones, a new study has found.
Not only do the rough surfaces of turbine monopiles and submarine cables provide new habitats for sponges, corals, anemones and other sessile organisms, but that extra food source allows other creatures to thrive as well.
“These benthic-dominated [ocean flora and fauna that live close to the seabed] ecosystems are critical for nutrient cycling, diversifying food webs and even storing carbon,” according to Murdoch Prof Loneragan in Global Ecology and Conservation."

while we're at it, why is a gun licence still cheaper than a wildlife carer licence? caring for injured quolls is inhibitive over the costly licence

how is antisemitism different from racism, and if it is not, why do we need two separate words then? (*same levels of irrational hatred)

now have watched the footage and it is sickening how a father and son could have planned and executed something like this together... like how wrong and manic must -not one but- two be, to want to do this and think it's okay (*of course all comparisons and retaliation can be made with current events of the world, but even one layer down, where there should be love between kinship, is hatred, and god knows where that came from 乁⁠(⁠ ⁠•⁠_⁠•⁠ ⁠)⁠ㄏ
