No? I'd argue that Qanon and the anti-vax movement are a direct result of your curated "news".

They undermined their own integrity, so people went looking elsewhere.

Do you remember the CNN reporting standing in front of burning buildings and calling it "mostly peaceful protests"? You could then turn to social media and get real data from real reporters about what was actually happening. You don't think that kind of behavior doesn't lead to things like qanon?

We are literally seeing real life examples of what I'm talking about.

But go on, keep believing traditional media sources. You do you, boo, and continue to be surprised when the consistenycy theorists keep getting things right. Never examine how you continued to get things so wrong, just keep blindly following your dogma.

That's adorable.

Oh, I see. You're retarded.

My mistake. Go back to eating your crayons.

I'm simply saying factual reporting is impossible on traditional platforms, anyone with an ounce if sense can see.

It is at least possible on social media.

Social media is "better" because accurate reporting is at least possible on that platform.

It's not on traditional media.

Is there a ton of horse shit on social media? Yes, absolutely. More so than traditional media, if only by volume.

There's a reason traditional media in this country is dying faster than the rest of the world, or even why it's dying at all; it's a steaming pile of horseshit, and has been for a long while. It's not "news", it's propaganda. What's more, it's obviously so; only the dumbest of us actually believe what sources like foxnews, cnn or msnbc "report". By extensions, they don't employ journalists, they employ propagandists.

That said, journalism isn't dead, although it is on life support. Real journalism CAN'T happen at the traditional media companies, so it's moved to the social media space...which nicely explains why they're eating traditional media's lunch.

Note; I'm not saying social media is the pinnacle of truth. Rather, you simply can't find real data from traditional media companies, whereas you CAN from social media ( along with tons of horseshit, yes ).

Is everything ok at home?

Why would any company dropping $10m+ a year choose to do business with Broadcom after all they've done?

Broadcom is making it very clear they are going to milk every last cent they can out of their customers, so customers should take that as the warning sign it is and abandon ship as quickly as feasible.

We famously don't know what we don't know when it comes to the human brain, so any prediction is more a thing of fairy tales than anything actually based in reality.

Features so good they have to force people to use them.

Doesn't it seem as though the past 10+ years of software development has seen just about everything get worse?

Hardware is increasing in capacity at an insane rate, so of course software efficiency takes a back seat. Under most circumstances, no one notices that it takes slightly longer for unoptimized to run.

Once we plateau ( again ), we'll see a greater push for optimization. These things happen in cycles.

Ah, you misunderstand. I'm not a republican. I'm not MAGA, and I didn't vote for Trump ( point of fact, I have never voted for a major party candidate, ever. Usually I write myself in ).

What I'm doing is correcting false information. Trump was never convicted of rape, and certainly not of child rape. That's a fiction created by his detractors, latched on to and repeated by those of low enough intelligence as to be manipulated into being good little pawns.

You have let your hatred of the man to be used as a tool to manipulate yourself. To put it simply; you played yourself.

Now, here's the funny part; Trump may be the monster you claim he is, but you come off so unhinged that no one would ever believe it coming from you.

Lol, no. Mind you, this is the same state that passed prop 49 decriminizalizing shop lifting under 950, resulting ( shockingly! ) criminals shop lifting up to 950...again and again and again. Take a look at our urban centers to get an idea of how that worked out.

So, a decade later, we voted to recriminalize shoplifting ( something our brilliant gov campaigned *against* mind you ), and the gov has been dragging it's feet on implementation ever since.

So...no. I don't think the state of CA could have figured this out before it got hit with the severe consequences of it's actions. For further proof, look at what our elected officials are doing to gas prices in the state.

Of course we all know that Trump *isn't* a child rapist, but it's a fun talking point. Still, with CA democrats doing shit like this: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnypost.com%2F2025%2F04%2F29%2F... you might not want to try thowing that kind of shade.
