Haha maybe! Though I kind of expected no others due to how technologically disinterested people are down here TBH.

Oh yeah the annual firebreak check for sure does happen out my way, though definitely not every year. I think that's spot on re/ personal vendettas. Oh yeah that stuff gets more hectic every year, even residential bush fire risk for new builds are really strict now depending on the BAL rating.

I did the maths once and estimated that there's probably about 10 people down here who ever signed up for Lemmy and 1 - 2 people who are active users, guess you're that other guy lol.

I'm not on a farm, but I'm on a bush block in a bushfire risk 2 according to that map (good link!). Never had a ranger come around, though we did recently have a local fire brigade volunteer do a info session/Meetup at the end of our street. I would imagine business out here/wineries would have to formally have a plan.

And here I was thinking I must be the only Lemmy user in South West WA.

I agree that Fire risk in rural properties is taken seriously, though not many people I know who live down here actually have the pump and water infrastructure available to them if they had to fight a fire and the power goes out. I wish it was one of those things we took even more seriously.

US + Russia Vs China Vs EU

Australia meanwhile has to choose their alliance based on Economic ties (China), Military ties (US) or Ideological ties (EU).

People are being cynical about the laws applying equally to Big Corps vs regular people.

If we make a special case for abolishing copyright if it means you're training an AI model, does that mean that now everyone can download copyrighted material if they do some form of locally hosted training?

The answer will probably end up being: one rule for the corporations and another for individuals.

the federal government should embrace policy frameworks that preserve access to data for fair learning

Sounds like we're good to download anything then as long as we get the copyright material for that purpose.

It's still going to sell really well even if it's just pretty Skyrim.

Dedicated fingerprint unlock like the Pixel 5 would be nice to see again.

I don't believe that is true if you've followed the story.
