  1. Just when I think I've plumbed the depths of David Seymour's cluelessness, he responds to the NewsHub announcement by saying he'll save them by making TVNZ pay a dividend to Treasury again. This is the publicly-owned TV broadcaster that lost NZ$17 million in the first half of last year. Even Winston, who railed against the "mainstream" media through the election campaign, thinks that's dopey.

  5. It's so frustrating listening to RNZ's tech commentator Peter Griffin talking about decentralized social media. At least the fediverse got a mention in this one. But he didn't get the key point across to the host, that you only need one account to talk to people on sites using the same protocol. When he described Mastodon it sounded like he was saying you need an account on each server. Also "the" NZ server...

  6. CW: fediverse media coverage

    I searched the RNZ 'all programs' podcast feed today for coverage of the fediverse. I found this interview with Peter Griffin and Mastodon from 10 days ago (which already feels like a year ago ;)
