No that’s why they never release any data about bots. That way they can pretend every account is a real user.

Absolutely but so does reddit, they all make a great effort to not notice bot accounts.

It would be easy to identity many bots by their browsing habits and other digital markers but they obfuscate all data that may give an indication of real users because, as you say, any drop in reported users is a drop in ad value.

Yeah but why would facebook/x bother to check? Engagement is engagement. They already know there are millions of bots and don’t care.

I do find it interesting that thousands of discrete devices is somehow easier than them virtualising them devices.

It’s disappointing to see how fast a government can move when it’s something important, like holding onto power, compared to lesser goals like the safety and health of their people.

Best we can do is ask grok for a curriculum, let Elon edit its response, then pass it by a panel of lobbyists and the last koch brother

Unless they are in a monogamous relationship, it shouldn’t be a scandal. They make it hard for themself by crying purity all the time.

Just adding my own experience, Nextcloud AIO runs plenty fast for just me (family is slow adopters) but its simple user interface is slowly working for them.

I run it in an LXC with access to two cores of an i7-9700 and 4gb of ram.

All the files are stored on an old usb2 external hdd.

Obviously that set up won’t scale well and the hdd will be the first bottleneck but I notice no performance issues and as a shameful windows user the way it ties in like OneDrive is great.

I can also just mount it as a network share for my Linux computer.

I do use the calendars and other features though.

Honestly? Pretty tame compared to the usually shit they pull.

Spoiler: it won’t.

The same traits that help your tribe/organism survive the first hundred million years of small scale interactions are not helpful during geopolitical negotiations.

Remember when bait was good?

As someone who is not educated in the topic I’m going to stick with my gut feeling over any scientific evidence.

To be fair, it probably would have stopped the hurricane.

Is trump the common enemy that finally unites the reds and the blues?

So basically what grok was trying to solve.

I think for many people getting a tattoo is a huge deal and we would never allow our skin to be marked without out a lot of forethought.

But I think there is a good chunk of the population that doesn’t think about it and don’t see it as a big deal. I think a lot of these people are concentrated in the military, the lack of forethought is increased when you are in a job that may well see you killed soon.

I’d like to see him reaching out to new and old military members to educate them on the meaning he apparently didn’t know about and pushing them to remove it.

Someone with some art skills should come up with a suitably cool modification tattoo that neutralises the nazi aspect and but still lets these guys support and identify with battle mates.

It’s not their fault the nazis happens co opt heaps of cool symbols and I don’t blame some 22 year old jar head for not knowing history (they should but the US education system has a lot to answer for).

If you give people an easy way out that lets them save face you’ll only be left with the actual racists.

I floated the idea of going for a run later. It’s not going to happen but I’d like some praise all the same

Sounds like a true representative of the average American.

remember Cambridge Analytics? no one else seems to…

I never said i was on the right
