“Chicken meat poses a significant biosecurity risk to Australia, particularly the risk of highly pathogenic notifiable avian influenza (HPNAI) virus which can cause severe disease and mortality across Australia’s poultry industry, and may also affect wild bird populations.”

We do have a reputation for taking these things very seriously, as we should. We were even going to kill Johnny Depp's dogs at one point but settled for the "hostage video". Despite that, it does seem excessive in this case and should have been overturned on appeal at the very least.

Thankfully someone stepped up and ended up paying the fine on their behalf.

Thank you Russia for protecting us against those evil Ukranian Nazis by checks notes releasing back into society cannibals and murderers who dismembered teenagers, stabbed a single victim 666 times, murdered cats and dogs and cut the breasts off teenage girls before cutting out their tongues and hearts.

Experts believe the volcano could be ready to erupt because, while there were thousands of tremors happening in the week before last, since midnight on Monday, only 165 have been recorded.

This is not an answer to your question but it's tangentially related.

Someone I greatly respected ran an open-source project with the policy of merge everything. Completely flip this idea of carefully review, debate and revise every PR. His theory was that it helps to build an open community, and if something breaks someone else will revert that commit. He says that the main branch was almost always stable, a massive improvement to how it was run previously. He passed several years ago and for some reason this reminded me of him.

I guess what I'm trying to say is if you get something out there that people find useful, the code will be looked at. It doesn't help you if you're looking for someone to collaborate sorry.

I've been using Firefox on desktop and mobile exclusively for a number of years now. I will say the experience isn't perfect but it's better than using a browser made by a company that is actively hostile to its users.

It is important to take note that you will experience issues with some websites. For example, https://astro.build/ Try scrolling quickly up and down on this page on Firefox vs Chrome (on mobile).

This could have been prevented if there was a good toddler with a gun.

For those looking for a source, I looked into it and yes the source is the CCPs claims. We all know how trustworthy CCP statistics are.

According to the Chinese NFI, national forest coverage has increased by 2.15% in the 7th NFI and by 3.41% in the 8th NFI

By contrast, the GFC dataset, which is considered to be more accurate than previous remote sensing datasets due to its unprecedented global high spatial resolution, showed that the change in forest area of China between 2000 and 2012 was a net loss of 38,743 km2, equivalent to a decline of 0.40% in national forest coverage

Basically, satellite imagery seems to "strangely" conflict with CCP figures.

For context what he said was:

war crimes are war crimes even when committed by allies, and should be called out for what they are

Apparently condemning war crimes is enough to lose your job these days.

That's actually one of the reasons I do not use Brave.

Thank you! The stupid thing is I'm literally enrolled in the beta program through the Google Play store... apparently that's the fake beta and you have to know this link for the real beta. I can confirm this issue does not exist on the "real" beta. You just saved me a lot of time.

For context, this is the "feature":

I've noticed a small issue with my email client for quite some time now where composing a new email will have several blank lines by default.

It's not too much of an issue to simply delete them but hey, maybe no one had pointed this out before! So I filed a bug report only to get this response... basically it's not a bug, its a feature!

The article makes valid points but completely misses the real point. The real point, that has been pointed out every single time Google kills another product, is that every time they do that it erodes user trust. This point has been harped on for years, with more and more people agreeing with it the more and more Google kills products.

Is it any surprise then, that we're finally reaching a critical mass of users not trusting Google? It's less update this specific promise being untrustworthy, then the entire company being untrustworthy and this just happens to be the point that the dialogue had changed.
