That's not so far off from Pornhub's Year In Review 2024 that had the Linux share of the desktop space at 5.1%.

Just sayin.

A lot of commentators in previous posts about this news have missed the point which is that this finding was made by an Aboriginal-led inquiry and is part of a broader truth-telling and treaty process in the Australian state of Victoria.

Pass MFA best practice? in c/protonprivacy@lemmy.world
[–] maniacalmanicmania@aussie.zone 1 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

I think we're talking about different programs. I use Pass which has otp support. There are extensions for browser support but I'm only familiar with the cli.

I didn't know what community I was reading your question in. Sorry.

What is OTA in this instance? I use OTP with pass-otp but I suspect you're talking about something else.

I tried lab grown meat today (aussie.zone)

Mrs and I tried lab grown fois gras quail, apparently the first in Australia. Amazing to be able to buy this in a restaurant, after hearing about it year after year.

It was certainly meaty, a flavour you simply don't get with any meat-free chicken, really pungent and distinct (not that I've ever had dead quail).

A place called Bottarga in Brighton, Melbourne. Wasn't cheap, but I'd pay top dollar to support the transition.

Calls for Australia-wide crackdown on real estate ads that use AI to hide faults and lure in renters (www.theguardian.com)

About a third of people in NSW rent their homes and the state government has estimated that about 187,000 pieces of identification information were collected from renters in the state every week, from requiring personal photos and social media account details to revealing the number of tattoos an applicant had.

If the bill passes parliament, a standard rental application form will be introduced to clarify what information can and can not be collected.

The New South Wales tenants union has called for nationwide reforms to crack down on misleading rental advertisements after the state government introduced new laws in response to the growing use of artificial intelligence in real estate.

The legislation, announced on Sunday, will require mandatory disclosure when images in rental advertisements have been altered to conceal faults and mislead rental applicants.

The state government cited examples of real estate agents using artificially generated furniture that showed a double bed in a bedroom that was only large enough to fit a single in listings, or digitally modifying photos to obscure property damage.

TIL about Jervis Bay Territory (en.wikipedia.org)
submitted 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) by maniacalmanicmania@aussie.zone to c/australia@aussie.zone

From WikiPedia:

The Jervis Bay Territory (/ˈdʒɜːrvɪs, ˈdʒɑːr-/; "JBT") is an internal territory of Australia. It was established in 1915 by the transfer of jurisdiction from the state of New South Wales to the federal Commonwealth of Australia, in order to give the federal government control of a port in the vicinity of the landlocked Australian Capital Territory (ACT).

I am 45 and did not know this until today when for some reason Jervis Bay Territory was printed in a select option along with the other Australian states and territories.
