brisk@aussie.zoneto Australia@aussie.zone•The secret deal behind the teenage social media banEnglish9·7 days agoThis missing key provision — called the “exemption framework” — had been previously described publicly by the government itself as being crucial to making sure that the law would “protect, not isolate, young people”. The exemption offered tech companies a way out of the ban if they were able to prove that their apps weren’t risky for teens to use.

Small software still often credits their creators e.g. in the Help>about menu item.
But games are different, they are primarily an artistic pursuit.

Kodi is the closest that I know of to what you’re asking for but it definitely won’t work for everything even if you do get it behaving.

The cameras point onto the street and other people’s residences. You get surveiled because some other random person thought it was a good idea.

Plasma Bigscreen doesn’t have the functionality natively, but jellyfin-mpv-shim and Kodi can be cast to.

brisk@aussie.zoneto Australia@aussie.zone•Can Australia reach its 2029 housing construction target? Data shows we’re already falling behindEnglish3·15 days agoTo hit the target we need about 240,000 new dwellings every year, and new data shows we are already falling behind. The most recent State of the Housing System report predicts we will fall short of the target by more than 260,000 homes, an even bigger miss than was predicted the year before.
I think I know what this is meant to say, but it sounds like we’re building -20,000 homes a year.
Nygaard also questions whether the 1.2m dwellings target will significantly impact affordability. “The housing affordability challenges is the greatest for young and newly establishing households, for migrants, low and moderate income households, and First Nations Australians.
“These are also the households that are least likely to be able to compete for new supply.”
This is something that always bugged me about first home buyer grants. They have always had a requirement for new builds since that’s what they’re meant to encourage, but that also means huge swathes of the people that could most benefit from the grant (because the grant can make housing more affordable), can’t take advantage of them (because new houses are out of reach).

brisk@aussie.zoneto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•KDE Plasma Bigscreen (Android TV alternative) is back from deadEnglish9·16 days agoIt’s an alternative shell for Plasma, so theoretically you should be able to do anything in it that you can do in Plasma.
On my Arch box it installed a minimal set of Plasma utilities to support it, which means my setup is still very limited (and I can’t turn off screen lock!), but I haven’t tried if it would change if offered a full Plasma install.
I can most certainly launch Steam, Kodi, Jellyfin etc.
You may appreciate the Do What the Fuck You Want to Public License, though more alternatives are usually recommended.
