🤖🎉 Ah yes, because what the world really needs is yet another tedious academic paper on how hiring algorithms are as diverse as a #monoculture of potatoes. Bravo! After meticulously studying 3.4 million applicants, we’ve confirmed that different employers using the same algorithm isn’t a bug, it’s a feature. 🙄🔍

“Between 2001 and 2016 blueberry farming expanded 400% – mainly around the Coffs Harbour region.”
“This monitoring showed the continued detection of pesticides in most waterways sampled, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring in the region.”
“Monitoring in the Nambucca valley by the EPA has detected three different pesticides in low levels in three creeks, suggesting water quality in the area is not being impacted by excessive amounts of pesticides.”

The unseen impact of the country's relentless urban sprawl on the native wildlife population. The displacement of biodiversity with wo/men and their dogs
“The wildlife is suffering ..., the kangaroos haven't got anywhere to go. They can’t go back to where they came from because it’s just houses now."
"While developments are financially lucrative for both construction companies and the local council, residents (wildlife carers) say they’ve been left to clean up the mess with little help."

We also call for ecological repair. Before concerning yourself with savers (and arguably environment savers too, by extension) please cast your attention to #propertyDevelopers and #landholders who wish to profit from land #rezoning for #urbanOverdevelopment, #monoculture and actual #mining.Bitcoin could be the furthest concern from your mind.
