So you're bearing false witness?

None of us actually believe that 2016 is some sort of malignant entity. We just identify patterns and make a narrative to help deal with the negative things that happen.

Happy Holidays!

Submission + - Australia: Your digital games (and movies!) will get more expensive (playerattack.com)

dotarray writes: Australians really are about to start paying more for digital services — including Steam games — as Federal Treasurer Joe Hockey has confirmed plans to introduce a "Netflix tax" in this week's Federal Budget.

As mentioned last week, this is not a new tax, but an extension of Australia's current Goods and Services Tax to include digital services, adding 10% to virtual items and services purchased online. Details have not yet been revealed, but potential services include not only Steam games but also Netflix subscriptions and even Uber trips.
