Age verification is the new trend to de-anonymize the web. 😡

🚨Starting Dec 10, #YouTube #Australia will ask for your age.

The Big Tech already started rolling out an AI-powered age estimation system. Adults are being marked as minors & are forced to submit IDs before regaining full access to decades-old accounts.

Taken on a trip to Tasmania this year, super deep in the middle of a temperate rainforest. I knew places like that still existed, but nothing really prepares you for actually being there.

It felt very special being a tiny thing surrounded by a mass of very fragile, very long-lived relics of what the earth looked like a long time ago.

A dense, misty forest filled with thick, moss-covered trees and large plants. The scene has an ethereal, otherworldly atmosphere with soft light filtering through the canopy. The twisted tree branches and lush green foliage create a mysterious and ancient feel, resembling a fantasy or enchanted woodland.


Absolutely brilliant from an Australian climate protester who reduces a Sky News presenter to a gibbering wreck.

This is how you do it.

Having people vote on whether or not to grant other people full human rights is as absurd and as revolting as it gets. This is where “the tyranny of the majority” prevails every time, and why democracy in itself is not enough for justice. #AboriginalRights #Australia #LastRT


Hi #fediverse friends, sorry it's been a while again, I'll explain soon!

For now just a quick question: should I move to #Perth, #Australia? 🦘


I'm looking for some penfriends


Hi everybody!

I'm looking for some penfriends from the Northern European countries, Canada, Greenland, Australia or New Zealand for long term letter exchange.

I love traditional writing tools and papers. And I also love learning about new people and different cultures.

If you think that you might be interested about exchanging letters with a Portuguese EFL teacher who is really interested in learning more about your lovely country and you, please, feel free to drop me a line or two.

Thanks.

27 December 1924 | A Polish Jew Jakub (Jack) Fogel was born in Turek.

In Auschwitz from 27 August 1943
No. 140964
Transferred to Fürstengrube sub-camp.

In 1945 he was on a death march, ending up on one of the ships in the Lubeck Bay that were mistakenly bombed by the British RAF on 3 May 1945. More than 7,000 prisoners were killed. Jakub survived.

After the war he emigrated to Australia.
Today he turns 98.
Happy birthday.
