Australia has never contemplated imposing a similar tax. New Zealand tried but backed down last week after the United States threatened to impose higher tariffs on New Zealand goods.

What happened in New Zealand is almost certainly what will happen in Australia. This will go nowhere.

Coincidentally(?), today Humble launched a bundle that includes both Pillars of Eternity games.

I was going to start PoE on Game Pass soon, but I think real-time with pause was what turned me off of Baldur's Gate 1 back in the day, so I guess I'll wait for the patch.

My father is retired and still needs to use PowerPoint. He is very bad at retirement.

Ctrl+Shift+i should bring up the inspection panel. It won't be for the specific element, but it should have a button to get an element picker.

Netanyahu wouldn't stop just because Biden cut off weapons shipments. At best the genocide would be paused for a couple of months until Trump took office and resumed shipments.

they could rationalize any shit take they wanted to push by saying “thousands of people on twitter are concerned about X problem”

A lot of the time they don't put any number on the people, and then it turns out they wrote a whole-ass article on what dozens of people on twitter are saying.

I've seen suggestions that the AI Overview is based on the top search results for the query, so the terrible answers may be more to do with Google Search just being bad than any issue with their AI. The AI Overview just makes things a bit worse by removing the context, so you can't see the glue on pizza suggestion was a joke on reddit or it was The Onion suggesting eating rocks.

The headline isn't clear, it's actually one fee; the ad tier doesn't have Dolby and the ad-free tier does.

Not sure there's much reason for Meta to cave: Meta's Canada news ban fails to dent Facebook usage

Daily active users of Facebook and time spent on the app in Canada have stayed roughly unchanged since parent company Meta started blocking news there at the start of August, according to data shared by Similarweb, a digital analytics company that tracks traffic on websites and apps, at Reuters' request.

Another analytics firm, Data.ai, likewise told Reuters that its data was not showing any meaningful change to usage of the platform in Canada in August.

Doesn't seem like news was providing Meta much value.
