I think this would be more effective on the fediverse too, bots are trying to engage as wide an audience as possible, which gives us a metric to monitor activity across the fediverse.

For example, a user might post an article to the news community on their preferred instances whereas a bot will unbiasedly post it on all instances it deems fit to share with.

This isn’t perfect but it’s another metric to help weight and quantify bot activity for an automated defense system. RSS feeds and the like can specifically flag their accounts as automated to avoid misbans from the system too

Let’s all engage in some jolly gender-affirming cooperation!

They’re useless because the capital powers that be actively try to misinform the public on preferential voting (As part of a larger attack on education to keep a complicit population)

If I had a dollar every time I heard someone tell me I’m throwing away my vote for preferencing a minor party that has no hope of winning I’d probably have enough money to bribe a politician into making some decent fucking policy

Pfft we got rid of that yonks ago, now you just have to have an AI rewrite your documentation as a million shitty tutorials that are all search-engine optimised on different websites and hope the user finds one semi-legible.

It’s a piece of piss, literally.

Good point

Smuggling is easier than you think, being stupid is a requirement for law enforcement. Especially in the USA

Just observe the system, go through a couple of times, you’ll see the cracks and should be able to figure it out from there, especially if it’s just to circumvent tariffs and not import illegal goods.

Ask yourself, is it worth the legal system to pursue this matter if it’s relatively minor?

Chances are you’ll just get a slap on the wrist, but there is ALWAYS risk when it comes to this stuff, so also ask yourself is it worth doing it in the first place?

Happy smuggling and remember borders are imaginary! :)

After WW2 the world was split into 3 categories: first world (Western nations), second world (the Eastern bloc) and third world (everyone else)

America and the USSR both vyed and destabilised a lot of nations to solidify their place as super powers, America gained its power from the British when its economy shifted to war production to support them.

America made a lot of smart moves, like establishing the IMF so the US Dollar is used for international trade, and America has historically honoured all debts through the IMF.

So lots of nations had to kowtow to America to an extent if they wanted to have decent international trade.

Under Trump America is giving up its soft power for isolationism, and you can see a large portion of the world trying to shift away from Americas system through things like BRICS or incentivising different energy systems instead of oil

There is a lot more to this, but I think that’s at least a start to your question

Yeah but 0^0 = 1, maybe we just need to inject him with heaps of meth first or something. It’s not like we could make the situation worse

One of the richest people in the world has the humour of a 14 year old boy slipping through the cracks of the education system.

I guess it doesn’t really surprise me though, if only this money went to something good.

This game looks fun as

That’s cool and all, it won’t help with the global view that America is erratic and not to be trusted now since their economy can flip on a dime

BRICS goes brrrrr

Oh god youre the person behind all the legacy codebases I’ve maintained

At least it can’t be as bad as what we’ve got in Australia.

A ham fisted law passed through to ban ‘all vapes’ except for a select few that are manufactured by philip morris and the other big tobacco companies.

The tax on cigarettes alongside this has made an extremely lucrative black market for organised crime.

This is an economic war and it has been going on for some time, they have no need to fund armies. They’ve already subverted our way of life.

The oligarchs have united to fight against us, we need the working class to unite and fight back before it’s too late

Pretty surprised at how well it works on laptops now, almost everything worked out of the box for me with the exception of some RGB lights but that’s just a matter of probing the EC

Had less problems post-install than Win10, couldn’t even install Win11 (I’m not making a microsoft account)

It’s been a year now and I’m never going to install windows on my machines again, thank god

Mad that FPGA looks pretty cheap to toy around with thanks for letting me know!

I dream of making a SBC that has an FPGA and modular cable system to emulate as many device interfaces as possible
