This is great news. Very excited for the communities features to come too. This could be the last remaining hurdle for many people coming from facebook. A true healthy replacement.

What's up, chat! Group chats are rolling out today in the new v1.124 update. This is our first feature built for communities, and there's more to come.

The QLD government are introducing a raft of new E-Mobility laws into Parliament this week. The changes are based on the findings of the Parliamentary E-mobility Enquiry, which made 28 recommendations. The changes are in part already existing law in some form.... https://altmax.com.au/?p=1477

The courage of every day normal citizens is what I believe will save America. Kayla Schultz was screamed at and called a "fucking cunt" by a federal agent and accused of interference, for sitting in her car, just as the Alex Pretti altercation was evolving. She... https://altmax.com.au/?p=1457

Right. I've watched many angles of the Alex Pretti shooting. Two things are 100% clear. 1.Both hands are on the ground from the entire time he was crouched. He never went for his gun. 2.The officer in grey removed his gun and a second later Pretti was repeatedly shot by the officer in olive jacket.

In 2014, the Brisbane activist community got together to organise a community driven response to the G20 Summit planned for the city. Rather than focus on or give fuel to the mainstream media obsession with riots and drama (in Brisbane, really?), the community... https://altmax.com.au/?p=1424

Let's not forget Trump called his own nation's war dead "losers".

RFK Jr. appointee Kirk Milhoan has just clearly stated, out loud, that he wants to experiment on the people of the United States by seeing what happens as vaccination coverage plummets and infectious diseases spread.

Shocking revelations from brave @wbaidlaw.bsky.social clients on a hidden @icegov.bsky.social policy that violates the Constitution and endangers our neighbors everywhere.

This isn't a rival to the UN, because you can be sure that behind this is Trumps before stated vision of turning Gaza into a Riviera style "playground of the rich" where Palestinians will have little opportunity to govern and will simply be the cheep labour for constructing this vision.

Trump launches Board of Peace that some fear rivals UN reut.rs/4jQ5cUB

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen: “I believe one should take the American president seriously when he says that he wants Greenland. But I will also make it clear that if the US chooses to attack another NATO country militarily, then everything stops, including NATO…”

This is a really cogent and insightful interview with Tillie Martinussen of the Greenlandic Cooperation Party, about Trump's designs on Greenland.. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMPe...

This is a huge win. The First Amendment is clear: We the people have the right to speak without fear, document federal agents' activity in public, and hold those in power accountable.

I've only ever seen one Kelvin Helmholtz cloud with my own eyes, until today, when I spotted another! First picture (red skies) was in Toowoomba several years ago. Second is from today in Lismore.

Toilets don't need to be unsafe, for anyone. Individual unisex cubicles that open out to highly visible sink area, no place for predators to hide (of real or imagined variety)

This is disgusting. They screw wages down and destroy jobs through automation so they can maximise profits and build vast fortunes, but someone holding onto a working device while it still works is affecting work productivity? That's FCKN unhinged.

Consciousness | Max Riethmuller | WhiteWind blog

I don't think self awareness necessarily involves complexity. I think it's more about programming. Think of this. A rock sitting there aware of the ebb and flow of energies around it. Then one day it's given a simple mechanism that allows it to get up and choose a nice warm spot, and a sensor that s...
