@AlboMP Why does everyone want stricter fuel price gouging measures? Frankly, I would rather have expensive fuel than none to buy at all. If some companies decide to raise their prices in order to be able to source fuel from alternate sources and not run dry, then they should be able

I asked Grok how it would manage Australia’s fuel supply. Here’s what it proposed. Quite impressive. 🤓

Master thread on the 2015-2022 closure of the Internet, the process by which every major Internet platform went from broadly open with a few basic guidelines to strict narrative enforcement, often with the collaboration of govts and outsourcing moderation power to NGOs.

In the 1990's the internet was charming and useful. Like a puppy. Then it grew into a monster we're constantly trying to stop from eating us.

@EPPGroup Child protection must never be used as a pretext for mass scanning of everyone’s private chats. We can and must fight CSAM with targeted, lawful tools that respect end‑to‑end encryption and the Charter of Fundamental Rights. Extending ‘chat control’ style surveillance is

Dear government, Where’d all the money go?

Trades are always happening whether you see them or not. -Yes to the early meeting = no to the quiet morning -Yes to the extra project = no to the free weekend -Yes to something that drains you = no to time that fulfills you Saying yes to one thing is always saying no to

Fuel caps have begun in Australia, limiting volume and restricting use of jerry cans. So far this is a market response to limited supply. The government is still talking down the possibility of fuel rations.

Wait… what!? Earnings are already taxed, and now you want to tax assets that may be just sitting there doing nothing, at 2-3% every single year, until they whittle away to nothing? And do so without demonstrating you can actually spend it carefully and responsibly? Crazy.

Imagine if you programmed your air conditioner to make your house “2.5% warmer indoors than it was the same time last year”. You might not notice it for the first year or two, but after 4-5 years you’d start sweating, and after 10 it would start getting unbearable. This is

This paragraph by Richard Feynman hits so hard: “Fall in love with some activity, and do it! Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn’t matter. Explore the world. Nearly everything is really interesting if you go into it deeply enough. Work as hard and as

C. S. Lewis’s advice to a young schoolgirl on how to become a better writer:

Unexpected forms of generosity: -Being early can be a form of generosity. You wait, so they don't have to. -Leaving something unsaid can be a form of generosity. You don't always need the last word. -Delivering your work on time can be a form of generosity. You make life

Most people can’t even sit with an uncomfortable thought. And they think they’re ready for change.

The US-Iran conflict has reignited recession fears. Here's what the data from five decades of geopolitical shocks actually shows about when or how these events matter.

“How much attention do you give the dissatisfaction you feel when you sit alone with no noise, no feed, no one to blame? Probably very little. Because that kind of attention doesn’t entertain. It doesn’t spike adrenaline. It doesn’t give you the comforting illusion of being
