Perhaps he lives in some 3rd world country and just converted the prices to their dollar equivalent.

It’s not that bad since OP likely isn’t paying any taxes on it.

This clearly means smoking is actually good for you. /s

Basically, Musk is alleging is that they claimed this was a common practice when it was, in fact, extremely rare.

In his tweet about this he said that out of 5.5 **billion ** ad impressions that day, less than 50 were objectionable according to Media Matter’s criteria. In other words, there was a 1 in 100 million chance that a normal user would randomly see something like this.

For comparison, the following things have about a 1 in a million chance of happening (i.e. are 100 times more likely):

• flipping a coin 20 times, getting tails every single time
• winning the PowerBall lottery if you buy six tickets a week for a year
• a devastating earthquake occurring in Seattle within the next 5 hours

I just read the MM piece and it doesn’t appear to make any specific claims about how frequently this might have happened, it merely says “We recently found ads for Apple, Bravo, Oracle, Xfinity, and IBM next to posts that tout Hitler and his Nazi Party on X.” and that “X has been placing ads for Apple, Bravo, IBM, Oracle, and Xfinity next to pro-Nazi content.” which does indeed appear to be factual since it makes no claims about frequency, so I guess we’ll see if the court is convinced that it was defamatory. It certainly seems to be the truth, but not the whole truth.

If it turns out they really DID have to create 100 million page views in order to find a single questionable ad placement, and they failed to mention that, you could make the case that they were intentionally trying to hurt his business.

Yes, I believe that’s the allegation made in the lawsuit, that they intentionally manipulated the algorithm in order to engineer this ad placement.

Okay then. I think “titta” makes it a lot funnier than “mira” would have been, regardless of the likelihood of any of this actually happening.

At the risk of overexplaining the joke, I think the word “titta” being used in this context plays a significant role in making this as funny as it is. It just wouldn’t be as funny if it was, say, Spanish (“mira”) or French (“regarde”).

The happiest people not those who have the most, but those who make the most out of what they have.

Fair enough

Planned release date: Jan 5, 2024 :/

Would you like to pay the bills instead?

Oh yes, Linux is great for servers, not doubt, but on the desktop, not so much. Unless all you do is administering Linux servers, I guess.

I’ve been a software engineer for many years so trust me when I say this has nothing to do with how hard or easy it is to install. I used to run Gentoo at some point so I’m not exactly CLI averse. The problem isn’t the installation, it’s maintenance. Shit just keeps on breaking for no reason and I’m tired of figuring out how to fix it.

Linux is simply an enormous timesink. It constantly needs handholding and babysitting in order to work. And it doesn’t even reward you for it with a superior user experience, just a steady stream of problems to fix. Windows might not be perfect, but it at least it works. Meanwhile, Linux is like an insecure girlfriend, it constantly needs reassurance that you still love it.

Yes, I suppose you are correct.

As someone who has has tried repeatedly for more than ten years to use Linux, Linux is already doing a good enough job at that without their help.

Adding a couple of maps to a 25 year old game isn’t a remaster. Anyone here play Black Mesa? Now THAT’s how you do a remaster.

People being able to live their lives the way they want to without bothering anyone?

Apparently it IS bothering people enough that they’re willing to go through the trouble to make laws about it.

You’re making shit up. Mad anal sex is not restricted to homosexuals you prude 😏

Doesn’t mean it’s appropriate to teach children about it.

Okay, I’m going to keep preaching the words of Jesus then.

Fantastic, then I’ll blame you for all the people killed by atheists because you didn’t do anything to prevent it.
