kinda depends how you set it up and run it, no?

i have some simple new projects that are clean and easy, and some 10+ year old monstrosities that are the spawn of satan.

need to use ublock to stop the insane 'pls bro buy our ai' pop-up though.

    noice. its not a lot of coin, but credit where its due.

    could line up nicely with the xpt replacements currently in testing (improved comfort and reliability).

    no its not new high speed line, we are all going to be well dead before that's up and running, iterative improvements in the mean time is not a bad thing.

    meh... consume less.

    by all means have a family if that is what you want, and the society should generously support you in that endeavor...

    but don't really see how reducing women to baby factories does anything but kick the can down the road the same way as immigration does.

    the line does not have to go up.

    The proposed News Bargaining Incentive, as currently drafted, does not address the underlying issues in the News Media Bargaining Code on which it is based. Commercially focused eligibility requirements create barriers to participation for small publishers and volunteer-based community media, further entrenching the status quo in a media landscape that is already one of the most concentrated in the world. Funding is needed not only to prop up existing publishers, but to regenerate a battered news industry and better serve Australian communities with relevant and reliable news services.
