You can go down the pedantry route if you want, but this is a story about mcbook neo. And you can certainly run something like a switch 2 version of CP2077 if that ever gets released in the massively cut down version.

Do you know what is one of the big features of those cut down versions? Super compressed low res textures. Guess what takes much if not most of storage space in most modern AAA games?

It's a phone GPU with 8GB unified ram. You're not running that AAA title with any meaningfully sized textures, so no need for storage space either.

Stated performance vs revealed performance.

Latter trumps former every time.

It's honestly pretty interesting that we've gone from units of computational performance to units of electricity in measuring AI compute.

Essentially, this tells us that bottleneck has moved from silicon's computational performance to being able to provide said silicon with enough power to perform said computational tasks.

No mention of islam though, which was the next thing filtered.

"and two others that can block content forbidden under Islamic teachings. "

You can tell which one people have learned to fear. Islam is the future, because even anonymously, people have learned to fear them.

I'm just curious as to why you'd use that instead of any manufacturer or google's offering, since those are feature complete, have no ads and no in app purchases.

"I used it when options were worse, and I just like it the way it is" is a completely justifiable reason. A lot of things in our lives, there are better options but having to switch carries cognitive and time costs that are just not worth it.

Why would you want SMS app with "ads and in app purchases" when so many fully featured ad free with no in app purchases SMS apps exist?

What does it offer that others don't?

Everyone has their own message app, and outside US, almost no one uses it for anything other than SMS. For everything else, it's Whatsapp, Telegram, WeChat, Signal, etc.

It's interesting that google and other phone manufacturers lost this fight so comprehensively.

Story notes that number changes massively every month and it went 3,5 > 2,5 > 5,3 across January, February and March this year.

This obviously isn't changes in user base, but changes in tracking combined with very low sample size, meaning it's wildly inaccurate.

Props to writer in that he didn't engage in mainstream media clickbait method of "we clickbait headline and then we spin a narrative for the entire story. And then we destroy our narrative by telling what actually happened in last two paragraphs". This is explained in three opening paragraph, and literally first sentence is "if figures are accurate" proceeding to explain why they almost certainly aren't:

Quoting the story's opening below:

"If Valve's latest Steam Survey monthly figures are accurate, Steam on Linux enjoyed a very wild month of March. Steam on Linux is now above the 5% threshold and more than twice the size of the Steam on macOS marketshare.

Steam on Linux ended 2025 at around a 3.5% marketshare, dipped a bit in January, and fell to 2.23% in February. That's still much better than several years ago in the pre-Steam-Deck days when Steam on Linux was at around 1%. In absolute terms with the continued growth of the Steam user base, 2~3% was rather healthy considering all of its bumps over the past decade.

But Valve just published the Steam Survey results for March 2026 and they have never been so incredible for Linux... 5.33%! Steam on Linux was never above 5% and easily an all-time high for the Linux gaming marketshare, especially in absolute numbers. It was a massive 3.1% spike in March"

I.e. this growth is more than total supposed user base last month. This is obviously a massive statistical inaccuracy just hitting the limits of the error margin, as these numbers were tracked for many years, so we know what approximate number is. Error rate for these sorts of studies is usually 2-5% depending on sample size and methodology, so we're seeing the error rate manifest itself on massive differential reported.

It would really help if people took any decent class on statistics.

You can just watch the videos. It's made very clear where they sourced the information on the fraudsters.

This is why quite a few people followed in his footsteps and did the same thing. Went onto the relevant government website, pulled the data, and went to places. It's not like Shirley is the only one. He's just the one who started the trend.

They do. That's why that Mormon guy could just grab a list of those organisations from the relevant government website and went to each location to show they're fake and exactly how much money they are defrauding the government on camera

Fun part? US government is actually pretty good at governing compared to alternatives.

Consider something like it's primary competitor of PRC, where bureaucracy is so hilariously bad that leadership has no idea what going on in the nation, and has to rely on things like electricity consumption numbers when they try to determine how much economic activity has taken place.

Unlikely, as this is a budgetary item. Managers can go to prison for fraud and be liable for damages if they failed to have the person working this role if it is indeed required to be filled for this task. It's a key part in how bureaucracy diffuses responsibility for mistakes, and one thing that bureaucrats tend to follow with religious fervor.

Far more likely scenario is one I list above.

This is the low IQ take. It requires not understanding the following:

1. How error rate works.
2. How error mitigation works.
3. How error correction works.
4. Who is at fault when #3 fails.

It's literally in the OP. It's not the AI that is at fault, it's the person who's job it was to sanity check to output. That person didn't do it.

"The disclaimer also noted that all generated content was verified by an officer and that generative AI was not used to make or recommend a decision."

But the "humans are better at this, AI sucks" crowd can't even read the OP. Imagine you hire someone like this to make complex decisions like one needed in the OP, by the tens of thousands.

The error rate would be hilarious.
