"If there’s ever a definition of a company that got too big — so big it basically owns and operates the web — then surely it’s Google."

Just for a minute, as we digest the information that Google has been found to operate an illegal monopoly, can you imagine a web without Google? AnNatasha Lomas (TechCrunch)
So let's say that we cultivate the most ethically minded CS graduates ever, and then they go off and work for [insert whatever tech company you find most objectionable] - then what? Will they know what to do? What CAN they do?
I've been asking myself this question for a while. Starting to tackle it... this new paper is a first step.

Welsh Government Commits to Making Lying in Politics Illegal
"The Labour-led Welsh government has committed to introduce “globally pioneering” legislation that would in effect make lying in politics there illegal.
"Members of the Senedd described it as a historic moment that would combat the “existential threat” that lying in politics poses to democracy."
WOOHOO!

Raygun is now Australia's most famous dancer. What does she reveal about our attitudes toward dance?
"Why do Australians feel that dance is mainly for performance, rather than participation? We get up and sing tunelessly at karaoke, but shy away from dancing in public. The most recent arts participation report from Creative Australia shows that while one in six Australians engage with music, only one in ten Australians regularly dance. It seems we’re just not a nation of recreational dancers."
Perhaps toxic masculinity?
Raygun is now Australia’s most famous dancer. What does she reveal about our own attitudes towards dance?
Raygun has forced us to focus on many aspects of dance that are often ignored in Australia, including the role of dance in communities and the politics of dance.The Conversation

There’s a powerful moment that happens every time you build your own PC. After your chosen components are slotted into place, every connection is double-checked, and each wire is neatly tucked away, you close the case and power on your new machine. Then you (hopefully) see that first loading screen, as a proud sense of ownership washes over you. It can be an addicting experience, but until last week I’d never enjoyed that experience with a laptop...

There's just something satisfying about laying down tracks, and then slamming a train into your enemy. Battle Train is an interesting spin on deck-builders and there's a demo out now.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
Wow, this is a neat take on the #deckbuilder idea. Fired up the demo long enough to play the tutorial and it was pretty fire.
