New comment by qzervaas in "Australia's social media ban was pushed by ad agency focused on gambling ads"

qzervaas — Mon, 15 Dec 2025 19:36:51 +0000

For some context: there was a Government politician (Peta Murphy) who had broad support for a ban/restrictions on gambling ads, who passed away while in office in December 2023.

Since then all that talk went away and there’s been 2 years of this social media ban.

Surely a coincidence.

[edit: not a senator, a member of the House of Reps]

Since iOS 12 apps can send “provisional” notifications, meaning permission isn’t required right away. Other apps can use this, but few do.

New comment by qzervaas in "Electric cars produce twice as much CO₂ as trains, says rail group data"

qzervaas — Tue, 27 Feb 2024 23:16:48 +0000

"Using a diesel or petrol car produced nine times more carbon than going by train.

The figure was four times more polluting than a train if driving a plug-in hybrid electric car, or almost two-and-a-half times more if using a battery electric car."
