Twitter did a much better job with the bots. It did have a tough time because you can't algorithmically police right wing extremism without having it go after American Republican politicians. So right we extremism had to be manually policed. In other words racism and Nazis and whatnot. Musk solution to that problem was to just let the racists and the Nazis take over.

Now ordinarily that would be the company would rapidly go out of business because of lost users. But musk has been pumping money into it, largely with the help of the Saudi royal family. Essentially turning it into a propaganda arm of American billionaires and the Saudi elites. At least if you are consuming content on the platform besides a handful very specific people posting to it.

The real problem is that computers are just too good at figuring out relationships. That's why you can't kick Nazis off your platform using algorithms. A computer will very quickly figure out that the dog whistles the Republicans or whatever your local equivalent is are saying are dog whistles referring to racist or Nazi stuff and it'll go after those dog whistles because the computer knows that when a republican talks about welfare Queens it's no different than a Nazi talking about rounding up black people and gays. The computer knows the dog whistle and you can't program an effective algorithm that doesn't figure it out right quick.

Uh, that was kind of my entire point. The sports card example I provided IS being marketed to children now. Directly to children. And their junkie parents with lottery-grade five and six-figure potential payouts if the stars align as Insta-tok advertises those cardboard dragon payouts as 'easy'. Makes Las Vegas marketing look like Mormons marching for manure costs.

And sadly, all you need is a parents approved signature on any debit/line of credit card and damn near any age kid can abuse one today. And plenty of parents do give their children a card, to simply avoid the "annoyance" of their kids bugging them for all those 'micro' transactions that shockingly add up to a $100/month spending habit, addicted to fucking Fortnite skins by the time they're 12 years old, voraciously spending under the innocent guise of "V-Bucks" being spent instead of dollars that would have normally paid the water bill.

Capitalism, grooms them early.

Well, not rally. The first printers were typewriters with cloth-ribbons and these were subject to the problems serifs address. I would say from around 24 needles onwards and typewriters with film-ribbons, serifs became inferior.

And y'all won't allow socialism. So what's the actual alternative?

Can't have capitalism anymore because the billionaires won't allow it and they have more than enough power and money to do away with it.

And we can't have socialism because well, that's socialism!

So what exactly is the plan?

No. You are too stupid to understand even basic facts. Telling you anything is a complete waste of time.

Hey, if the morons insist on giving themselves worse health, I am all for it!

That is because some (like me) have already done it, while the others cannot deal with reality.
 

That wasn't a really feasible solution in this case since the camera was already mounted and I would have needed a boom lift to reach it, in general I lost two workdays on that junk.

Sorry, the only thing I ended up with all the time was that it needed to download the support package for the camera over the internet, didn't matter what I did.

And having to use an app is also a bonehead solution, all that shall be needed is a web browser on a local net to configure what's needed.

Trump's trade war that he started so he could offset billionaire tax cuts with tariffs is crashing the economy. Manufacturing is down 20%.

We can't stop the trade war because the only way Trump could ram those billionaire tax cuts through is using the budget process and that required a revenue neutral approach on paper and if you're going to cut 2 trillion dollars in taxes for billionaires you can't really do revenue neutral.

So to get there he made up numbers around the tariffs. If he does away with the tariffs the economy will start to recover but the next budgetary cycle he will lose those tax cuts for billionaires.

As a direct result you need to suck at the fuck down and stop buying so much food. And if you have kids make sure one doll per Christmas.

There are TVs with DisplayPort connectors, but they are expensive and sold more as presentation screens for computers.

Please can't someone kill HDMI, it's just causing headaches with no benefits when we have the DisplayPort now.

And nobody can afford these things anymore and idiots like this one need to scramble to undo their bad ideas.

I hope these kids remember the assholes behind this when they become old enough to vote.

Hahahaha, not. You cannot get away with selling slopmakers long-term.

Well, better late than never.
