In that case, is beef jerky just meat-based chips (crisps for the anglophiles)?

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.

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”).

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.

…eat the Mona Lisa?

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.

Good luck with that. LOL

Deflection, ad hominem, deflection, ad hominem. Do you have any actual arguments?

You said, and I quote “Do you understand that the economy has momentum that takes years to fully manifest? We don’t live in a command economy, lmao.”

As soon as Biden came into office, he canceled the pipeline and put a moratorium on oil leases. Within a matter of months, prices started rising. Are you really saying those two things had nothing to do with each other, or that Trump was somehow to blame for this?

Sorry about your friend, but I’m pretty sure a lot more Ukrainians died since Biden came into office than during Trump’s term.

I never made the point that it didn’t affect gas prices, you failed to deny Trump’s impact on gas prices.

Huh? You argued here that Trump’s $2 gas somehow caused Biden’s $4 gas. That is patently false. Trump made decisions that increased domestic production, which lead to lower prices. Biden reversed those decisions, which drove the prices up again.

Again, we can argue about the environmental impact of those decisions all we want, but this is simple cause and effect. Arguing that Biden had no agency in the higher gas prices is nonsensical.

But Biden DID clamp down on domestic drilling (and canceled the Keystone pipeline). Is it anti-science to say that reducing the supply of a good will inevitably lead to rising prices?

You can argue that he did it for a good reason (to protect the environment and increase the sales of electric vehicles, for example), but you can’t argue that he didn’t take those steps without being aware of the effect they would have on prices.

Okay then. I’m done here.

They were already monetizing your data, just like websites were already using cookies to track you before the EU made it mandatory to inform visitors about this.

I’m sorry you don’t like having fun. Must be rough.

“But I’m sure you’re white, heterosexual, Christian and male, so you’ll be fine.”

That’s what you said. Stop trying to weasel out of it.

You attributed my approval for Trump to race, when I had clearly stated it was due to his policies, not his words.
