And they won't stop until it's 100%. You Trumpers won. All I can say is I hope you have the day you voted for.

My one consolation is that Trump is taking away your Medicare.

What exactly is the scam besides a little bit of engagement bait?

More importantly everything in the post is stuff that gig slop companies have been caught doing on multiple occasions.

That's why it's not surprising if it was AI generated because the AI is going to take a little bit of everything that it finds on the internet from otherwise reliable sources and mix it into a slurry. So what you're seeing here is a bunch of associate press articles turned into a post. The articles would have been about other gig slop companies and what they got caught doing but the AI would have just mixed them all together.

We passed Idiocracy some time back. We're now in a region where satirists and humourists are simply no longer able to function without sounding saner.

True, but to be fair, the scientists, engineers, and scholars are largely fleeing the country, the tech industry is in a massive slump (agriculture is the only sector growing jobs according to the last reliable official figures), and there's a political need to create the impression that the country isn't in a bad way.

Exactly, many do not filter this traffic because they just (falsely) assume such traffic will never arrive.
Test it out for yourself.

There's no such thing as "private IP"... There's nothing to stop the ISP from using reserved address space and even hosting services there for their customers to use, and many do just that because it saves on costly public addressing. All legacy space is routable when you control the path.

Because if it's one thing the United Kingdom has a shortage of it's workers looking for good-paying jobs. Clearly we need more automation.

To do a lot more than just simple documents. They want full-on applications with lots of features. Remember the 80/20 rule. 80% of your users only use 20% of your features but it's a different 20% for every user.

So yeah capitalism does fuck things up here. Also capitalism isn't allowed to function anymore. There is no competition to speak of because there's no antitrust law enforcement.

But in addition to that a modern web browser is basically an operating system in itself. There is literally no application you couldn't write for a web browser as a platform.

So they suck for the same reason that operating systems suck. It's a complex system with shitloads of features and a diverse user base.

If we had proper competition that was regulated by a proper government than there would be a lot less shit because well, capitalism would be able to do its job and deliver an improved product. But that ship sailed 25 years ago when we elected George Bush Jr and he shut down the Microsoft antitrust investigation...

Of every single institution designed to protect you.

Every single thing had to go wrong for Trump to get a second term.

That said voter suppression is the primary reason Trump won his second term. Approximately 7 million Americans tried to vote and couldn't. A combination of illegal challenges to signatures and voter registrations and multi-hour wait times to vote in swing States is what made Trump president.

So mind you yes, as fucked up as it is if the Democrats had run a youngish white man Trump probably would have lost because Trump needed everything to go wrong to get his second term.

But that's small potatoes compared to the millions of people denied the right to vote. There's an old saying among the left in america, there are no red States just States where people aren't allowed to vote.

About 3% of young men voted for Trump over Kamala Harris. People talking about young men going for Trump are massively overstating the margins.

During Trump's first run boomers gave us trump. Both in the primary and the general election boomers overwhelmingly went for Trump No boomers no Trump.

For the second win the boomers only went for Trump by 5%. It was the older genexted overwhelmingly went for Trump and cinched the election for him. Basically 50 to 65-year-olds. It was still old people. No old people no Trump.

I can forgive a damn young man working three jobs with six roommates for getting fooled.

You're 50 fucking years old and you have watched multiple Republicans run roughshod over you and your kids and you keep voting for them. At 50 years old you should be able to find a Wikipedia article discussing how and why Democrats are better for the economy.

So yeah I'm going to blame old people and the old people here on this website are going to get pissed off about that because that's what old people do.

With declining birth rates old people are in charge and this whole mess is the fault of old people but if it's one thing old people hate more than anything else it's taking responsibility for being in charge.

Old people have literally been blaming young people for the messes they caused since fucking Socrates.

Because at the moment liberal arts majors have lower unemployment than computer science majors.

But even ignoring that, if we have people who have successfully learned a skill and the job creators refuse to employ that person maybe, we shouldn't be relying on those job creators. Because they're not doing their fucking job of creating jobs.

The ones I hate are the smug Google IT! answers. I did Google it, but all of the results pointed to people smugly replying that I should google it!.

who don't get to come into the country and do real work.

they only do that for *your* kids.

Yes. All of the above.

Indeed. It also attracts malicious people because with a badge or the like they can mistreat others without punishment.
