@engineerlikeagirl.bsky.socialReposted by @aj.gts.sadauskas.id.au.ap.brid.gyGreat to see so many lads turn up to football training on their bikes. Lots of the younger ones cycled with parents, too, or in/on cargo bikes. I guess having great infrastructure to get there helps...! 😍

@climatecasino.netReposted by @aj.gts.sadauskas.id.au.ap.brid.gyThe long-term rate of CO2 growth is currently at a record 24.35 ppm per decade. Net-zero by 2050? 2070? Ain't gonna' happen. Well, it might. But for another reason.
@incrediblemelk.aus.social.ap.brid.gyReposted by @aj.gts.sadauskas.id.au.ap.brid.gyI get a lot of recipes served to me on social media for ‘easy oven-baked weeknight meals’ where you just dump things in an oven tray and they cook together One of those is risotto and I think a lot of people like the oven-cooked version because they find it boring or time-consuming or hard on […]
@incrediblemelk.aus.social.ap.brid.gyReposted by @aj.gts.sadauskas.id.au.ap.brid.gy@aj whenever I see an ad on social media with gross sloppy AI imagery and a wonky AI voiceover whose Australian accent vowels just don’t sound right, I always leave a comment saying how gross it is and that I go out of my way not to buy from or recommend a product or brand that uses AI ads […]

@xs4me2.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyReposted by @aj.gts.sadauskas.id.au.ap.brid.gyStealing can never be legal. Stealing parts of someone's identity is in fact an illegal act.
Laws and regulations are needed to stop these practices.
@aj.gts.sadauskas.id.au.ap.brid.gyThis is farked. Voice actors now have to compete against AI reproductions of their own voices. And because they often don't hold the copyright to the ads of TV shows they work on, there's basically no recourse: "Jacqui Duncan has voiced more than 5000 commercials for Australian radio and […]

I’m old enough to remember when we had to talk about Obama’s pastor for a year or so.
@aj.gts.sadauskas.id.au.ap.brid.gyReposted by @aj.gts.sadauskas.id.au.ap.brid.gy@charlie2alpha Just to clarify: I'm thinking about moving off GtS and just moving my main account to mastodon.social or aus.social or Vivaldi Social.
I wasn't aware full text search is coming to GtS, I might have a look into that one, as it's something I've sorely missed.
@railmaps.com.auReposted by @aj.gts.sadauskas.id.au.ap.brid.gyAn interesting read about an issue that has slipped under my radar until now. There is no direct Australian equivalent at the moment, but there are a number of similar undercurrents in operation here: Covid brainrot, Trump malevolence, parties at risk of zombification etc

@aj.gts.sadauskas.id.au.ap.brid.gyReposted by @aj.gts.sadauskas.id.au.ap.brid.gyI'm seriously considering moving off GoToSocial to a regular Mastodon instance. I've self-hosted for a while now, and it's generally good. But there's a few things I miss. The first is being able to search widely for posts on a particular topic. Yes, relays help, but there's a big tradeoff […]
