2016 is simply the EV version. The drive train in an EV is vastly simpler, and no requirement for an exhaust pipe 😛

Tonight’s 7:30 story line-up is just one massive troll. Burning garbage to produce energy, and a story about Tesla’s autopilot and phantom braking

I’m there for Finland’s #eurovision entry!! 🇫🇮 🇫🇮 🇫🇮

These boxes are not moving. A mind-bending optical illusion by Japanese artist Jagarikin.

Prepare the prayer room #auspol

Well done, and thank you @antonygreenelec.bsky.social !! #auspol

If only Albanese waited until now to announce the voice referendum #auspol

How do I make my BlueSky feed less US-centric? I need more #auspol in my feed …

Stand behind as many flags as you like, Dutts. The less we see of you, the better

This week, @jm77.bsky.social and @mpowney.bsky.social sat down with Hon Weng Chong from Cortical Labs - discussing their research and development of a neuron based computer. Mind blowing stuff!

I need an AI agent that can quickly and reliably explain memes to me

Just saw my first ad on BlueSky. I guess it had to happen at some point. Doesn’t appear to be paid for, looks like it’s organically come through into my feed.

It’s for a US company, but interestingly, it’s for a service I have recently engaged with. Probably coincidence though 🤔

The Machine-Readable Renter — Samantha Floreani Participants needed! Are you a renter in Australia? Have you ever used tech to find and apply for a home, log maintenance, or pay rent? I want to speak with you!

I’m already feeling deeply grateful to the renters who I have had the chance to interview so far - each one with such interesting stories and perspectives.

If you’re a renter and you’ve got experience using ‘RentTech’, I’d love to speak with you too. More details and contact form here:

Just you’re typical every day @technogaze.bsky.social production meeting

For last Saturday’s show, it was International Women’s Day, where the official hashtag was #AccellerateAction. Great conversation with @kattekrab.bsky.social, Miranda and Tamzyn on from many angles of IWD and what it means for the tech industry. Check out the podcast: joy.org.au/technogaze/2...

Replying to myself because I skipped over the heading of “why” in the blog post (performance, reliability, governance).

I also found @andrewconnell.com’s Office Hours session to be quite useful ..

Microsoft 365 Full-Stack Developer Office Hours - March 2025 Andrew Connell

On Monday, Microsoft ANN'd a big change for #SharePointOnline - the existing #EntraID app is getting replaced 😳

🙋‍♀️ Why? What impact will that have on your solutions?

Well, you'd know if you joined my monthly office hours today!

Missed it?

Given it’s sometimes difficult to elaborate on security things, is it possible to share insight as to why these changes are happening?

For the ability to add and remove permissions to the principal (where a graph call is required) - will there be an Entra UI to support this in the future?

Latest ep @jm77.bsky.social, @raena.net, @mpowney.bsky.social - we discussed a significant vulnerability in Apple’s Find My network, plus their shareholders resoundingly voting _for_ DEI programmes to continue. Also fusion reactors (under the desk…).

Today’s episode - @jm77.bsky.social, @mpowney.bsky.social and Michael discussed recent online scams, and tech predictions of decades past, and how well they held up. Check out the podcast! joy.org.au/technogaze/2...

Earlier this week, @mpowney.bsky.social sat down with @tauel.bsky.social to discuss the influence social media platforms have on society and democracy, and how that influence has grown over many years.

This would be in place of the current social media tripe, that Hoovers up as much as it can about us from various sources, assumes what we’re feeling based on incomplete data, and serves us stuff that only helps it achieve its goal of engagement

What we need is a large language model driven feed curator.

“Hey (bot name) I’m feeling sad, show me things that will cheer me up.”

“Hey (bot name) I’m feeling curious. Show me something new and interesting”
