Hi new bluesky peeps 👋

alt text is for screen readers used due to vision impairment

a short description of the image won’t take long (subject/context/colour) and is inclusive & considerate of others

* don’t be a knob & police others, things like dyslexia can make it difficult for some to do ☺️
reads: alt text helps screen readers read visual content shows 2 identical images of an aeroplane landing, one has no alt text so only says ‘img_1234’, the other reads ‘airplane landing’ (American spelling)

I looked through my “extinction in museums” files and discovered that I have encountered a slender-billed curlew at the Museum of Natural History, University of Wrocław, Poland.
Now gets added to the list of extinct animals.

“The AEU warned that removing subsidies for 12 courses, including those in the creative arts, will cause a devastating fee hike of up to 5400%, effectively ‘killing courses’ and locking out young Tasmanians.”

Disgraceful decision, must be reconsidered.

*The AI boom = one of the costliest building sprees in world history

* Past 3 years' commitments are greater than the cost of building the U.S. interstate highway system

* Consumers must spend $800 billion on AI within a few years, to justify investment from 2023-24

www.wsj.com/tech/ai/ai-b...
This week, consultants at Bain & Co. estimated the wave of AI infrastructure spending will require $2 trillion in annual AI revenue by 2030. By comparison, that is more than the combined 2024 revenue of Amazon, Apple, Alphabet, Microsoft, Meta and Nvidia, and more than five times the size of the entire global subscription software market. Morgan Stanley estimates that last year there was around $45 billion of revenue for AI products. The sector makes money from a combination of subscription fees for chatbots such as ChatGPT and money paid to use these companies’ data centers. How the tech sector will cover the gap is “the trillion dollar question,” said Mark Moerdler, an analyst at Bernstein.

A young person died just days after the LNP make pill testing illegal.

There’s a good chance that if they could have had these pills tested, they’d be with us all today.

I don’t understand why a manufacturer would lace pills with a substance that is potentially deadly in small quantities…isn’t the aim to have happy repeat customers?

and why oh why would you want to make pill testing illegal?

The Lutruwita Animation Fest, I should say.The animation part is rather important. It's mainly a showcase of new Tasmanian work plus one feature at the end & networking drinks. Should be a nice time. More here: lutaf.org

(and yes, I am helping with it a bit. No one tell Viv I got the name wrong!)
Lutruwita Animation Festival
A one day festival celebrating animation from Lutruwita / Tasmania and around the world. Attend fun screenings, workshops and talks in Nipaluna / Hobart.

The gambling industry is predatory and insidious.

I quit the Parliamentary Sports Club a few weeks ago, when I discovered it had registered as a lobbyist group and was sponsored by the gambling peak body.

The industry will do anything to wield influence on pollies, and hates being called out.
