Trouble is it’s too easy to game - click farms across the developing world would offer trust for sale, just as they do for likes and engagement. That’s what’s skewing content - it’s not the algorithms, it’s the ability for money to game them. There’s no good answer to that.

It keeps him up at night, but not long enough to remember he also eats pizza with his hands.

Ah I see. You were tricked :)
I came to it late, so some of its reputation inevitably bled into my expectations. I had no knowledge of the story though. But then again I’ve always struggled with rogue-likes a bit, at the other end of the spectrum.

It’s 💯% none of my business, but I’m stuck on figuring out what moment you’re talking about & why. Do you mean the end? I hated the decision but I loved the lesson that the character I was playing & identified with wasn’t actually me & made decisions I wouldn’t. Never felt my time was disrespected.

He’s a moronic narcissist who’s been actively mentored by Putin since he declared he was going to stand for election in 2015.

He’s surrounded himself with a sizeable chunk of the British population, no? And they’re laughing at all of us.
My point is, where’s the pushback? Especially in the information channels most adjacent to the white working class?
I can’t see it but I really hope it’s there…

That *is* the narrative that people are being fed. And it’s been clipped and disseminated right here again, without any pushback. Was Rylan shown any evidence to correct that narrative?

It very much is :)
No idea how many people will be there - some might be on holiday, the nice weather might bring others out. We might be sat outside, although there were building works going on nearby last week, so we moved indoors despite it being sunny. I’ll be there from around 9-ish.

It’s bonkers. The Home Office have essentially made Trump right on this issue. Pursuing criminals, terrorists and child abusers (egregious as they are) is so obviously of secondary priority to weakening security for millions (perhaps billions) of people 🤦‍♂️

I think GDPR covers the means testing aspects, but there are additional market distortions introduced by pricing algorithms even if they don’t use personal data.

This review isn’t what I read, but I think it covers it & is more up to date;

Ah yes, thanks! It was more than the GDPR provisions around personal data that I was thinking about, though, I read something a couple of years ago that was specifically about algorithmic pricing and anti-competitive practices.
