Neat that we're still getting official new animation! When I saw this was upcoming I assumed it was just going to be a montage of existing footage (which would've been fine too tbh)
Also, do Ekko and Jinx canonically speak French now lmao

> > > Assuming the controversial president of the United States must be in possession of potentially damning information concerning his home country in order to keep them so completely under his control, the rest of the world wondered aloud Tuesday about exactly what Trump has on America that compels the nation to keep him in power. “Whoa, he must have some real bad dirt on the U.S. populace for them to just let him get away with so much unconscionable bullshit. You have to wonder what he knows,” said billions of world inhabitants outside of President Trump’s jurisdiction > >

The stress of navigating Australia's healthcare system on behalf of her ageing parents has left Yasmin* feeling frustrated and upset. In her later life, she'd like to move overseas so she can age "with dignity".

I briefly considered not tagging this as satire because the headline is factually correct 🫠
> > > Leader of the nation’s racist uncles, Peter Dutton has taken a break from claiming that calls to listen to First Nations voices is a bid to cause division within the nation, to instead demand a national debate on giving ministers the power to deport dual-citizens. > > > > The man whose party screamed about ‘upholding the rule of law’ now wants to completely bypass the rule of law, so that he can shift his fear-mongering messages from ‘send them to prison’ to ‘send them out of the country’. > > > > “This referendum will be different,” said Dutton, “the last one wanted to give Indigenous leaders the unchecked dangerous power of giving advice on issues impacting their community, whereas this would give ministers the small power to just completely ignore court rulings and deport citizens on a whim.” > >
"You have allowed yourself to be in a very bad position. You don’t have the cards right now"
> > > NASA astronauts Barry “Butch” Wilmore and Suni Williams have successfully returned to Earth, but have been told they will need to say ‘thank you’ to the new President and Vice President before they will be released from their capsule. > > > > As Williams opened the door to the space capsule in waters off Florida, she was surprised to see JD Vance standing on a boat nearby. “Have you said thank you to me once in this entire mission?” he said to a visibly confused Williams. > >
> > > After months of defending his country from their unending attacks, President ‘Peacemaker’ Putin has agreed to a ceasefire deal he called the “Netanyahu Accords”. > > > > Putin said he would be willing to follow any ceasefire agreement based on the ceasefire ‘peace loving’ Israeli PM Benjamin Nentanyahu recently signed, as long as Russia gets to be the ‘Israel’ in the agreement. > >
As US big pharma comes for Australia's PBS, Labor is promising even cheaper medicines.
> > > In short: > > > > PBS medicines will cost a maximum of $25 if Labor wins the next election, down from $31.60. > > > > The move comes as American medical giants take aim at the PBS, describing it as an "egregious and discriminatory" program and calling for the Trump administration to impose retaliatory tariffs. > > > > What's next? > > > > Labor's proposed changes would come into effect from January 2026 if the government is re-elected. > >

> > > "With cheaper medicines, more free GP visits and a stronger Medicare, we say to Australians: we've got your back." > > > > The Coalition said it would match the policy, which its health spokesperson Anne Ruston said would "ensure Australians have more affordable access to the medicines and treatments they need, at a time when healthcare has never been more expensive." > >

In fairness this was already a couple days old before I posted it, I just couldn't be bothered taking the two minutes to zoom, crop, alt text, etc until yesterday

Some quote highlights:

He also came to believe that decision-making was slowed down by a bloated workforce, Reuters reported. > > > > Tan presented some of his ideas to Intel's board last year, but they declined to put them into place, according to two people familiar with the matter. By August, Tan abruptly resigned over differences with the board, Reuters reported. > >
Holy crap, just 4 days later and it's down (up?) to ~2.6 days behind for lemmy.world -> aussie.zone. Hopefully they can get the multi-threaded thing sorted out before it gets too much worse X_X
For what it's worth I generally agree with you, and especially think the people who treat /all as their own personal feed are nuts, but nonetheless it's something that some people do 🫠
Everyone has their own preferences about how to use things!
Browsing the global/all feed is one way to find new communities, and some people just like using it in general rather than defaulting to a subs-only view.
Maybe in future I'll have to inspect element to remove that and the ALT when posting Mastodon screenshots 😬
Which is especially funny given that Gigi is technically the kouhai 😅
edit: apparently if I don't want to put the line above the o I'm supposed to use "kouhai" not "kohai"

The song was first seen a couple of months ago during her 3D live
For better or worse, I doubt converting all the volunteer force to paid positions is in the cards - at least for the foreseeable future. But if people are financially secure (which is not exactly the case right now, generally speaking), encouraging volunteer work is fine imo. The "if" is doing a lot of the heavy lifting there though @_@
Recruitment incentives are needed to boost the number of emergency services volunteers to respond to natural disasters and take the pressure off the ADF.

A full moon, low on the horizon, tinted red – it’s a sight not to be missed.

It will also be worth a look for people along the east coast of Australia. > > > > Rather than being full and bright, the Moon will be partway through a lunar eclipse, the first of two lunar eclipses to occur this year. > > > > New Zealand is in for a treat as the Moon will rise during totality – when the Moon passes completely into Earth’s shadow. Instead of turning dark, the Moon takes on a reddish glow that’s colloquially referred to as a “blood moon”. > > > > Along the east coast of Australia, totality will happen while the Moon is still below the horizon; by the time the Moon rises, it will be in part-shadow. > >
Meatsack summary / highlights:
The 5000 series has dropped support for 32-bit CUDA, causing e.g., 2010s-era games that implement PhysX to have to execute PhysX on the CPU, which can lead to atrocious performance (like a GTX 580 outperforming an RTX 5080) under bad in-game conditions -- even on a high-end current-gen system -- if you leave PhysX enabled and have a 5000-series GPU. Games designed with PhysX in mind are "experientially different" without PhysX and so disabling it is not desirable.
> > > It's not the biggest deal in the world that games from 12, 15 years ago don't run on these modern GPUs - that's not really the core complaint here. [...] The real problem comes from everything that's sort of attached to it. And the concern we have is the broader issue which is that Nvidia has a habit of trying to come up with some sort of exclusive graphics tech for games - and it's the "exclusive" part that's key there. > > > > [...] This drags the industry along in Nvidia's wake, and then when they get bored of the technology and abandon it, the customer's left holding the bag. > >
> > > This feels like a grim omen for any Nvidia special feature that's integrated into a game, especially if it's core to how that game feels. > > > > [...] This is one of those where 10, 15 years in the future, we don't know if features like Reflex, MFG, again even ray tracing will work the way they do today on the hardware that will be current in the future vs the stuff from the era they were developed. That's just sort of the nature of hardware (compatibility mode has been a thing for ages) - so we're trying to keep perspective on how just big of an issue is this, but it does come back to Nvidia and how much they push these specific technologies. > >
Crazy that this is how I found out about this. I guess that's what I get for not being enough of a repost bot 😔

Maybe I'm missing something, but why are they? If it's public money where's the profit (the reason everyone else lobbied for it) in doing minimum-possible-effort?
