#2022 is going to be the year where we (Australians) start to have non-shit political parties in power and do things like:
- Actually give a fuck about the climate
- Shut Down coal power plants
- Shut Down coal and gas miens
- Stop fracking our goddamn country
- Start replanting trees and regrow forests
here's hoping ๐ค #Australia

๐ฃ **PSA:** Threat to your privacy and the right to criticise your Government.
![Julian Simmonds](https://twtxt.net/media/BECp9xH89BNqizXLB3xvf8.png "Julian Simmonds MP (Australia)")
I received the following message from our (Australian MP) Julian Simmonds
yesterday via Email (because apparently politicians don't know how to use Social Media ๐คฆโโ๏ธ or how to write Blog posts ๐คฃ):
message from Julian Simmonds MP
> I have been fighting for tougher rules on big tech and new laws that back Australians online. As a result of my advocacy, our government is putting in place online protections that hold social media companies to account and put the power back in the hands of parents.
>
> Under these new powers, social media companies will be declared as publishers, meaning they are liable for any defamatory remarks, unless they actively assist to identify anonymous trolls and resolve disputes.
>
> For parents who have often felt helpless, this means an avenue to unmask the troll targeting and bullying their kids online.
>
> This sends a strong message to those who make toxic comments and slurs online; that they cannot hide! They are no longer anonymous behind the keyboard and will face the consequences of their actions, just as they would in the real world thanks to our new legislation.

> Third party cookies should never have been a thing.
This 100% ๐ฏ ๐ If we do anything in #2022 we need to make third-party cookies **illegal** and **not supported** -- i.e: Let's change the spec, update browsers and make this impossible ๐

(#w3jytwa) @fastidious Are there _really_ no decent XMPP iOS clients?! ๐ค Even in #2022 ? ๐ณ What about for macOS? ๐ค
It's been some decades since I last used anything XMPP related -- I _believe_ the last time I ever used this was back in the GTalk days (_remember that? ๐คช_)
