It's exactly like GPUs, which is why my new PC is still limping along on a 8 year old GPU - when new ones cost as much as the reat of the PC it's just implausible to upgrade.

Probably because, believe it or not, a large number of people remain completely oblivious to his antics. To them it's just a car brand.

You are 100% correct, however, most people don't actually understand that nuance and use it incorrectly all the time. Language continues it's steady slide into mediocrity.

Now that makes more sense - not something we usually get to see from overseas. Thanks for sharing - I get it now. The posters/ads are just a quick reference back to the more meaty material. Clever.

I'm sure if you are interested you can find out, but isn't the goal to get the disinterested to vote?
Your second image is much clearer - gives a good hook to incentivise people to at least consider it.

As an outsider I'm curious: do these numbered campaigns actually work? Without knowing what proposal 50 is does this encourage voting? Does it even make people curious enough to look up what the number means?
I kind of the expected there'd be at least the title of the prop you want people to vote on

Gotta love devices that can be remotely updated 😳 Bring back the days of the dumb-device that just works.

I can see replacing "The Algorithm" there because that's kinda shit anyway, but dropping likes and retweets... that's really throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Like, they're the entire point of the platform 😕
It's a bold strategy... let's see how quickly it fails.

Indeed. I had this discussion in real life - I tried to point out that they'd be better off with UBI but they just couldn't get past the idea that rich people would be getting money they don't need and my conversation partner would therefore rather stay poor than give the rich fucks a cent. Sigh.

Small businesses tend to be that way, giant businesses tend to be all about wringing as much value out of staff as possible human consequences be damned.

Those curved screen corners are gross. And a wobbly camera hump again? Going backwards in the usability department too. And AI slurping the battery? I think I'll stick to my old phone and hope it doesn't get hacked because there's nothing compelling about the new generation of devices. Sigh.

Yep. And there's no obvious solution either - we could vote on edits, but then it's a popularity contest. We could appeal to an expert, but who defines that? Wikipedia is in a tricky spot because people don't seem interested in the truth on the whole, only pushing their agendas/ideologies.
