Indeed. Obviously they do not want you to realize you are getting shafted. Looks like the algorithms are good enough now to successfully create that impression.

They are in the process of making sure nobody but the rich gets healthcare anymore ...

Republicans equate being pro-market with being pro-big-business-agenda. The assumption is that anything that is good for big business is good for the market and therefore good for consumers.

So in the Republican framing, anti-trust, since is interferes with what big business wants to do, is *necessarily* anti-market and bad for consumers, which if you accept their axioms would have to be true, even though what big business wants to do is use its economic scale and political clout to consolidate, evade competition, and lock in consumers.

That isn't economics. It's religion. And when religious dogmas are challenge, you call the people challenging them the devil -- or in current political lingo, "terrorists". A "terrorist" in that sense doesn't have to commit any actual act of terrorism. He just has to be a heathen.

The problem with all of these platforms is not what what they're called or what they look like, or even how they function for the most part. The so-called "magic" is gone because these services are flooded with inauthentic content and behaviors. Everything is either an advertisement, propaganda, or influencer/AI slop. The signal-to-noise ratio is too low, which drives away genuine contributors and stops new people from joining and gaining critical mass.

The current state of social media is a reflection of the inability of its users to simultaneously discern what is inauthentic behavior and to free themselves of its effects. If you ask a reasonable person if they actively desire being lied to and manipulated for financial gain, they would say no; but when such deception is packaged in a tantalizing form, they find that not only can they not resist, they don't WANT to resist. Like an addict, they want and embrace the deception, to the point where they get angry at anyone who dares to pull back the curtain. The result is an abundance of weaponized and optimized inauthentic content that is being used to manipulate and monetize.

So no, bringing back the "Twitter" name and functionality is not going to do anything, because even before it was made into the hellscape that is called X, it was its own special cesspool.

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.

It's true, seifs are for ease of reading ... but so is Calibri. However, I believe Calibri was created for ease of reading on screens, while this article talks about documents on letterhead. So it's possible the choice of Calibri was misguided to begin with. Furthermore, according to the article, the number of “accessibility-based document remediation cases” – which I take to mean instances where somebody requests a document be reformatted for accessibility reasons – has not declined. So he's saying that, while this is a purely subjective aesthetic choice, the original change to Calibri never helped anything anyway.

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.
 

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.

It is legal to do so in the EU, BUT you must make the full process that generated that price transparent and you must state that it is a personalized price:

I guess that pretty much kills the idea in the EU as it relies of customers not knowing. Anyways, have fun with your anti-consumer version of capitalism! So much winning! Just not for you...

You are projecting. How stupid.
