I mean isn’t this literally part of Meta’s whole business strategy?

Don’t you dare fucking touch Wikipedia

As an autistic person this technology could actually allow me to access the community without being overwhelmed. This is revolutionary and would change my life.

Jordan Shanks isn’t for everyone and yeah I think he comes across as insensitive at times. I know some of his family members and to put it bluntly Jordan has a lot of room for improvement in his interpersonal skills.

But he’s not a piece of shit. Compared to Barilaro, Jordan is an upstanding, moral citizen.

Welcome to Australia’s defamation laws. Our whitleblower laws are also quite shit.

As someone who just submitted an article for review I am gobsmacked by how brazenly the authors have done this. The absolute disregard for integrity and the knowledge production process is astounding. But also the balls to just submit a paper like this without fear of the consequences says something more profound about the state of academia.

I’m a phd student so I’ll just stick with my university library databases.

I lived through 2 weeks without power once after a storm. Made me realise how valuable physical information/ entertainment is.

Kinda glad that I kept most of my university textbooks and have a bunch of encyclopaedias and shit lying around.

Not because of the racism that Stan identified though. They’re okay with drawing a line around ‘toxic behaviour’ but not the racism, ableism, sexism, transphobia and homophobia that they have platformed for years through their use of tweets on QandA.They should have immediately responded to Stan’s experience with an assessment of how their engagement with social media enabled the racist abuse directed at Stan. The ABC has a terrible problem with racism in their own institution and have not anything to address or remedy this. Stan is not the only person who has drawn attention to this and the ABC regularly receives complaints about people like Paul Barry while continuing to give them a platform.

STOP USING TWEETS ON QANDA THEN! After what happened with Stan Grant ABC really need to evaluate how they use social media sites like Twitter. They needed to do this the moment Stan raised it as an issue and had to step away from his role.

We have a similar thing in Australia with our supermarkets, airlines and media. Our governments have been equally as stagnant in trying to change things. Housing and utility prices are fucked as well.
