LMAO that a not-small tech review site chose this person to rate cameras for vlogging. Yeah, a fuckin’ expert lol. Size, weight, camera qualit...
“I have literally no experience in any of this but let me tell you what to buy.” Seriously? I can just read spec sheets for myself. What I want from a review is someone with a history in the field actually using the devices for a decent period and telling me how they worked out.
But “best vlogging cameras 2023” hits the SEO juices and any child-muppet can shove words into a CMS. Affiliate links mean you get a cut from every click-through.

(Dirty secret: Tech sites get more revenue from SEO-optimised shit like this than advertising.)

THIS IS THE START OF MY THREAD ON THE FEDERAL BUDGET. #Budget2023

I’ll be looking specifically for things related to the cybers or digital life or adjacent issues.

The documents will be at budget.gov.au from 1930 AEST. To begin, some hints for understanding them...
The one I always hit first is Budget Paper No. 2. This lists and explains all the individual “budget measures”, which are the changes to every line item since the previous Budget or now-usual Mid-Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook (MYEFO). #Budget2023
Programmers, think of Budget Paper No. 2 as a set of diffs, with copious comments. #Budget2023

One continuing problem with “creating opportunities” framing is that it perpetuates the idea of “success”, whatever that is, as a moral virtue and not being able to take advantage of the “opportunity”, whatever that is, as a moral failing. So it’s YOUR fault not the government’s.
Obviously that is far from the only problem with these three meaningless claims. Not a concrete, measurable fact anywhere in them.
Here’s what I wrote to my federal MP @stemplemanmp on 27 April.

Tl;dr: A policy that doesn’t fix a problem for everyone affected in a timely manner is a policy that consciously chooses to continue the problem. Image

Causing discord. I'll explain a bit later.
So, I was just at the bottle shop and a young couple and their toddler were behind me. Greys given the cash to the toddler so she could enjoy paying the cashier. I leaned down, smiled. "Hi, can I have you money?" And she gave it to me.
I handed the cash back to the mother. She explains that the money should go to THAT man not THIS man. I asked again. This time the kid paused, confused, but still gave me the money.

"Yeah," I said, handing back the cash, you need to fix that." All laugh.
