#Robodebt has gone but for many, #Centrelink is still a tyrant
“Centrelink’s practices point to a persecutory culture that dissuades people from questioning its decisions, and ultimately acts as a disincentive for people to seek income support to which they are entitled. In a damning indictment of our social security system, our clients tell us that they don’t want to claim a payment because they are frightened that years down the track, they will get a debt.”

After a week when all seemed to be lost for Elon Musk, the Taliban have declared that they endorse #Twitter over #threads

What more can he wish for?

Taliban Endorses Twitter Over Threads

"Other platforms cannot replace it," said a senior member of the Taliban in a tweet, explaining that Meta is "intolerant."

Hard at work.

My @smh @theage cartoon.

Lol. I tried posting a tweet to tell people about my latest Techdirt story (about Mastodon) and I got this error message (and it's the only tweet I've tried today).
Now that Twitter has killed off 3rd-party apps, those developers could do with your help. If you have active subscriptions, don’t ask Apple for refunds, because all of them happening at once would be a huge financial burden on the devs. If you can, send them a tip, or buy one of their other products instead. Yes, I’m telling you to buy CalcBot.

Imagine what Jennifer Coolidge could do for our boundless plains and seas.

So, finally, Musk's minions have acknowledged why they locked out third-party Twitter clients: The purpose is to force users onto Twitter's own website and apps.

Remember, they lied earlier to justify killing off the competition, claiming violations of the rules. Since there were no violations they could point to, they rewrote the rules.

Anyone who trusts Musk and Twitter at this point is willfully stupid.

Well it took just 34 days for me to gain 1000+ followers and break the 2k mark. Remind me to get another beloved iOS app banned from the app store so I can reach 3K! 😂

Here’s my promised School House Rock sketch celebrating the milestone. I promise I’ll stop posting about Twitter stuff soon! #LineaSketch

Nice work, Elmo.

Twitterrific: End of an Era • The Breakroom

Twitterrific has been discontinued. A sentence that none of us wanted to write, but have long felt would need to be written someday. We didn’t expect to be writing it so soon, though, and certainly not without having had time to notify you that it was coming. We are sorry to say that the app’s […]
