Feeling slightly less stressed about Unicron now

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/nov/26/vaccine-resistant-what-scientists-know-new-covid-variant

The Guardian posted:

Will the variant cause more severe Covid?

There is no information yet on whether the variant leads to a change in Covid symptoms or severity – this is something South African scientists will be closely monitoring. Since there is a lag between infections and more serious illness, it will take several weeks before any clear data is available. At this stage, scientists say there is no strong reason to suspect that the latest variant will be either worse or milder.

right to be a bigot without a membership in the liberal party or a registered religious organization: suspended

quote:

The Morrison government will introduce legislation this week to crackdown on abuse and bullying on social media platforms.

Under the laws, social media platforms will be forced to expose the identity of individuals who post defamatory or damaging material anonymously.

The government is seeking a complaints mechanism where, if somebody thinks that they are being defamed, bullied or attacked on social media, they will have an opportunity to demand the platform take it down.

Federal minister Anne Ruston says if the platform fails to comply, there will be a court process that would allow that person to require the platform to provide details of the identity of the abusive or defaming identity.

“It is absolutely unacceptable that a platform can shirk its responsibility,” Senator Ruston told ABC’s Insiders program on Sunday.

“I would really like to see any of these platforms stand up and say that they think it’s acceptable that they hide behind the anonymity of bots and bullies and bigots online.”

Never mind I guess. Turns out it's hard to identify variants quickly so it will just spread to every country that doesn't quarantine all the time before you can close borders.

Australia will probably implode under the weight of another round of lockdowns, so right now I'm thoughts and prayer-sing that the vaccine still works or a booster can be quickly deployed.

Those same morons blocked a major road into the CBD yesterday afternoon- Making me late for work. For some reason they thought parading in front of the channel 7 building would bring change. This was after their last attempt in front of the Education department the week before. 500 turned up to that one, in a city of over 1 million...

Realistically, wouldn't these companies just prefer to restrict access so no Australians can post? It seems way easier than being on the hook for anything we post there - and none of these companies want to be liable for the stuff on their site, especially now.

The kind of people who post heinous poo poo under their real names on Facebook aren't likely the kind of people to be sued for defo by a Liberal MP, but point taken, that was phrased incorrectly. I think the part about how companies who own those platforms have to reveal the identity of accounts the court wants them to reveal does suggest that tech companies will now need to take on greater responsibility if they operate here - so while not exactly responsible for what people post, they would now be responsible for knowing who they really are. That has some serious implications for online safety.

I think it's part of a wider project to completely connect who you are in real life and on the internet - no escaping the real world and the "real you" under aliases or new identities or fursonas. Similar to how all those Metaverse presentations show people being turned into Xbox Live avatars of their boring real selves, you'll have to present yourself as who it says you are on official documentation.

As opposed to the anonimity afforded the 'gutless cowards' behind Christian Porter's blind trust.

Sixty-one-year-old Curtis died of end-stage renal failure, in the context of type 2 diabetes mellitus and chronic liver disease. The NT commissioner for correctional services provided a general leave permit so the inmate he could go to Mutitjulu aged care facility without guards to spend his last days near home and family. He died there on 26 February 2019.
