Ugh that’s depressing but I think you’re right.

I dunno if this changes any of the UX paradigms, but I heard GIMP is about to release a huge major version.

1,500 casualties DAILY?! Russia must be getting even sloppier than before.
I have a suspicion that Trump is accelerating the plans for Ukraine to build nukes. They simply cannot wait for aid to slowly come in any more.

It’s on an entirely different level today. Propaganda has always been useful for swaying public opinion, but we live in a world where an entire generation of the world’s most brilliant minds have been set to the task of optimizing ad revenue. And they certainly succeeded.
Unfortunately it turns out that “increasing engagement” virtually requires pigeonholing people into an ever-increasingly-radical echo chamber.
