Tim RichardsThis ACCC vs Coles court case is more complex than I first thought. Take this example of price lowering and raising over a short period - it does seem potentially misleading.
"By way of example, the regulator says from at least January 1, 2021, until October 11, 2022, Coles offered the Strepsils Throat Lozenges Honey & Lemon 16-pack product for sale at a regular price of $5.50 (on a pre-existing “Down Down” promotion) for at least 649 days.
"On October 12, 2022, the price was then increased to $7 for 28 days. On November 9, 2022, the product was placed on a “Down Down” promotion with the tickets showing a “Down Down” price of $6 and a ‘was’ price of $7.
"It raises the question of which of the three prices is the real price or what customers perceive as the real price."

Tube Mapper - Luke AgbaimoniSuper Surprise
My son's Lego Superman joined me on my journey to work today.
Sometimes I'll put my hands in my coat pocket & will be rewarded with a random toy that I'll have no idea how it got there. However, Superman was a pleasant surprise so I made him fly on the escalator!

OK nevermind, THIS is the coolest thing I’ve ever done to my iPhone
C.I hear there's another swell of newcomers to the Fediverse / Mastodon. I have no idea what "forkiverse" means, but new people means an opportunity for a reminder:
There is no algorithm here. You see nothing but the posts from accounts and hashtags you follow, and things that those accounts boost.
This means: use the boost button! Liberally! Clicking "favourite" just gives a private thumbs-up to the poster, and has no effect on anything else. The boost button is what makes things happen in the fediverse. It's how you get exposed to new things. It's how you find interesting new people and subjects to follow. It's how you learn fascinating stuff about subjects you didn't know existed from people you don't know, half a world away.
Boost. Boost often. If it's interesting, boost it. If you think others should see it, boost it. If it makes you laugh, boost it.
Boosting isn't rude. It doesn't make you like the bloviating arsehole in that workshop who thinks everyone came to hear the sound of his voice. You aren't monopolizing peoples' feeds, or manipulating them.
We need it. Please boost things!

Chuck DarwinUruguay did what most nations still call impossible:
it built a power grid that runs almost entirely on renewables
—at half the cost of fossil fuels.
The physicist who led that transformation says the same playbook could work anywhere
—if governments have the courage to change the rules.
For Ramon Méndez Galain,
the energy transition isn’t just about climate
—it’s about economics.
Uruguay’s shift to renewables, he argues,
demonstrated that clean energy can be cheaper, more stable, and create more jobs than fossil fuels.
Once the country adjusted the playing field that had long favored oil and gas,
renewables outperformed on every front:
halving costs,
creating 50,000 jobs,
and protecting the economy from price shocks.

A year of sunrises - 13 pictures of the sun, each month, same place, same time.
"One of the best places in Edmonton to see the sunrise point change along a familiar horizon is Valleyview Drive, which is where I photographed sunrise once a month for a year. This image is the final result of stacking 13 sunrise images from Dec 2020 to Dec 2021, to visually depict the change in the sunrise point over a year." - Photographer, Luca Vanzella.
Chris TrottierTired of YouTube calling all the shots? It’s time to build something better—together.
Here’s the slide deck for a proposal to launch a PeerTube co-op.
Right now, there are three of us ready to get this off the ground. I’m looking for two more founder-members to bring us up to five. With that core, we’ll have the resources to make a PeerTube server not just viable, but sustainable—and built to last.
This isn’t about joining someone else’s platform. It’s about creating one. As a founder, you’ll have a real voice in governance and a direct hand in shaping content policies, by-laws, moderation rules, and more.
We’re staying early stage by design. This is the moment to get in, shape the vision, and build something that actually challenges the status quo. If that excites you, message me.

Logan Five ThousandI feel about Mastodon the same way I feel about my microwave: I don't understand how it works but it does what I need it to so that's all that matters.
