This reads like a showcase of why the chief minister and the CLP are unfit for government.

Chief Minister Lia Finocchiaro led the charge by saying she expected the "usual offender apologists to criticise our efforts".

By the end of the week, the government had rolled out its planned changes, including bringing back spit hoods in youth detention settings and removing the principle of detention as a last resort.

Both are measures the royal commission into youth detention in the Northern Territory, sparked by a 2016 Four Corners investigation, explicitly recommended against.

So-called "offender apologists" were offered limited airtime within parliament house.

Ms Finocchiaro told a group of NT paediatricians who had written to her expressing "deep concern" over this week's changes that they were wasting their time.

The chief also sledged Opposition Leader Selena Uibo in parliament, saying while her party did not win the election, "she wins the award for being the biggest gutter trash politician in the chamber".

And an all-out "personal" attack on NT Coroner Elisabeth Armitage by Prevention of Domestic Violence Minister Robyn Cahill drew the ire of the sector.

Earlier this week, the ABC revealed more than 400 youths had been taken into custody at police watch houses during the first six months of the government's time in power.

They're totally unhinged.

There are already a bunch of them, including XMPP and Matrix which both implement Signal's double ratchet encryption (via OMEMO, in XMPPs case)

It's currently hit by the "tethered network services" anti feature, which is hidden by default.

They are working on removing the anti feature

This 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.

Lots of software has credits, historically they were often hidden in Easter eggs. 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.

The jellyfin shim may only be for Jellyfin clients, not for arbitrary clients. I thought it used a generic standard but now I'm not sure.

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.

Part of the problem with Ring is it's generally not self-surveillance. 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.

Guardian Economist Greg Jericho shows - with interactive graphs - how the RBA's interest rate policies have missed the mark and depressed Australian living standards in an unprecedented way.

 

Furness recommended the Nacc revisit the controversial decision, which had already been the subject of 900 complaints when she promised in June to inquire into the matter.

Following the inspector’s recommendation, the Nacc will now appoint an “independent eminent person” to deliberate afresh on a possible corruption investigation into robodebt.

 

They found a 110 year old thylacine head in a bucket of ethanol in the back of a cupboard in a museum with RNA intact.

 

The National Anti-Corruption Commission Inspector has announced she has launched a formal investigation into the regulator’s refusal to investigate six public officials referred by the Royal Commission into Robodebt.

For anyone missing the significance, the Inspector announced "looking into" complaints about the NACC decision months ago, but this is the first time the word "investigation" has been used.

The distinction is important because once a formal “investigation” is commenced the NACC Inspector has additional powers, including the power to obtain documents.

Original title: "GUESS WHO? The $600,000 question at the heart of Robodebt"

 

former Queensland secretary Michael Ravbar – who’s been dismissed together with almost all other officials – said he would launch a challenge against the legislation passed last week to put the union into administration.
