As a non dyslexic I find these fonts "easier" on the eye when reading for longer periods of time despite not liking them aesthetically (I don't hate them either). However, I am in my 40s and my eyes are starting to fail me, I may need an eye prescription but can still read without glasses.

In the entire history of the world, no one with a choice ever bought anything from the government because they thought the government's offering was superior to that available on the free market.
Please, if you know of an example feel free to provide it. In fact, the government does not actually produce anything at all... not a single product or service. People only buy things from the government when they are coerced.
Even the very best governments out source everything and just keep graft to a minimum. So, working for the government is basically admitting you're unable to compete and need a handout. I'd consider changing careers before a move into the public sector. If you're burning out, just take a break and learn to pace yourself better.
You're wildly hallucinating, are you an LLM? Whatever you produce in Government/City IT is a service. Working for the Government is somewhat more stable, you don't have rank and file or any other needless churn and squeezing for profit. You do get fired from these positions if you don't perform but the workload is not as insane as on the private markets. You call that a handout? That's quite a strange notion but by all means go and compete as much as you want.

I really hope other nations, including the United States, copy this. Australia proved that it is possible. I think the results will be so overwhelmingly positive that others will take notice. Good job Australia!
Reading "Anxious Generation" is a must for all parents in this day and age.
Of course it is possible, why would it not? I'm glad this is happening and I'm sure it'll follow in other countries, probably not the in the US though. Frankly I really hope most people just get off social media's grip and start interacting the way we used to.
Try City/Government IT. It may not be fun but you'll have some more predictability/stability but prepare for a paycut.

Personalized interfaces are bad. I don't want to configure anything, and I don't want anything automatically configured on my behalf. I want it to just work; that kind of design takes effort & there's no way around it.
Your UI should be clear and predictable. A chatbot should not be moving around the buttons. If I'm going to compare notes with my friend on how to use your software, all the buttons need to be in the same place. People hate UI redesigns for a reason: Once they've learned how to use your software, they don't want to re-learn. A product that constantly redesigns itself at the whims of an inscrutable chatbot which thinks it knows what you want is the worst of all possible products.
ALSO: Egregiously written article. I assume it's made by an LLM.
Yes and this is my biggest anxiety of future software and interfaces to come. You won't remember how you got there or did what because there are n permutations of getting there or doing that, except they're vaguely similar but not exactly the same thing. I too want predictable software (including UIs) that stays the same until I want to change/upgrade it myself as a user.
I saw this today where "influencers" were taking real doctors from videos and using AI to have them pitch products.

Lawsuit? Seems like a slam dunk to me.
I missed the magazine format. The frontpage illustrations are really cool.
