Corrections / additional:
- @alexhelvetica pointed out that I missed the carve out for Alpurrurulam NT (4825)
- @simon_w raised another fallacy that you can't treat postcodes as numbers (0872 would become 872)
- @Dangerous_beans mentioned that postcodes can't be mapped to other geographic coding schemes like LGAs
- @ChlorideCull / @devopscats points out that postcodes can move / change
- @whyrl fallacy: A postcode can be mapped to a geographical location (see e.g. defence force personnel codes)

Programmers fallacies about postcodes:
- A postcode covers a small geographic area
- A postcode is good enough to locate an end user for generating location suggestions
- A postcode will be in a single timezone
- A postcode only has a single state
- A postcode has no exclaves/enclaves

I would like you to meet 0872. Australia's largest postcode (I think), covers 3 states, has two cut outs (Warbuton and Alice Springs), and even still some mail outside of this area is routed via 0872

In a lot of ways, Facebook has a classic IBM problem

1. Won big early, and accumulated a war chest that let them absorb hits instead of adapting
2. Facilitated genocide

I am an #obsidian user, I've read about the #zettelkasten method, and so on (I'm also curious about Luhmann systems theory per se).
But what a rabbit hole it is!
I stumbled so often into people showing workflows and how-to's, without ever fixing in my memory what they were working on amd what they actually achieved through such workflows.
May we call it productivity porn?

I'd love to see some great examples of apps and projects enabled by those tools, that are not "Here's how I used Obsidian to write this longform on how to build a Zettelkasten".

[You'll maybe see one from me whenever I publish something...]

We have been made aware of #Nintendo's plans to shut down #NintendoNetwork in April. We have begun discussing our development road map internally to accommodate this.

… there is apparently a shouty Telia and a non-shouty Telia? what?

Glasgow Celtic are playing Lazio right now in European football/soccer. Celtic supporters tend to be Irish republicans. They fly Irish and Palestinian flags, oppose celebrations of the British state (poppies, monarchism, etc.).

Lazio supporters tend to be nazis. They fly swastikas, banners about sending their enemies to auschwitz.

Here's Celtic fans banner flown pregame:

queers forming polycules for mutual support instead of benefiting from generational wealth is us favoring composition over inheritance
