FYI, Google Maps is no longer being used on giantpaper.
In order to continue using their Cloud Platform, I need to add billing info to my account. Which wouldn’t be so bad, since the pricing seems really fair, but they want a government ID to verify my info. 🙅♀️ So right now, the maps on the photoblog are currently non-existent, at least until I switch to an alternative (I did find a possible contender that I need to look further into.)
The Australian federal government is planning to de-anonymize the internet to introduce a social credit system to combat “online abuse” – police will have access to individuals’ social media accounts, which will be linked to people’s passports. pic.twitter.com/C2ZsYZjEGH
