Second? It seemed pretty clear after the first expose that this is a regular method of communication for these meatheads.

I hate using it too, but I also realise a lot of people are fucking stupid, so when I do use it, I'm using it mockingly.

I hope every single one of these cases results in a lawsuit.

You figure stuff out, but it's mostly how to most easily circumnavigate shit rather than solving it, because that's a mug's game.

The only reason the rich cunts try to tell us you 'can't just GIVE people free money' is because they want all the free money for themselves.

At least the really awful people are letting us know they're that way up front these days.

This shit seems to change by the minute.

The new overloads can't be having with any of that Helping People nonsense. Not for free, anyway.

I too tend to use it as a souped up search engine, with mixed results. I was trying to get OBS to only record my game and not my music, and the bot came up with a whole routine involving setting up a virtual mixer, which I could not get to work correctly, and with which the bot was unable to help me, even with screenshots, - it would just keep suggesting the same thing that wasn't working - AND it was a pain to revert all the changes.

I tried to do the same thing again recently, but just via a google search, and almost immediately found a reddit post with a link to an OBS plugin that worked with a couple of menu selections. :)

I'm torn on it. First off, I reckon a lot of it is a misuse of technology. We should be using for it boring repetitive drudge work, not for creative works. That said, a lot of the 'creative industries' are devoted to bullshit like advertising. I mean, why have someone pour hours of their time and creativity to make something that'll just be used to sell hamburgers, or be seen on screen for 2 seconds on one of Simon Whistler's thousand videos this week? I'm sure they'd much prefer to be making something a bit more meaningful. Unfortunately that doesn't pay. Which is why we desperately need a UBI. The benefits of the increases in productivity afforded by automation need to be passed on to everyone, not just the fat, rich cunts.

Every “free speech” platform is, in reality, a hate speech platform.

So now they're trying to redefine the meaning of 'grift' as well, are they. Fucking arseholes.
