Trump told Fox & Friends that he felt Harris was “awfully familiar” with the questions as he debated her.

It’s called preparation you bellend.

Not entirely unlike Jill Biden telling Joe he’d done a good job, when clearly the opposite had happened.

He’s going to keep saying it while people keep reporting it so urgently. Anything to get back into the news after the Dem’s stole the spotlight for a bit.

On a national poll the dems need to be about 5 points ahead to be in with a shot of taking the electoral college.

This is a step in the right direction, lots of work to do though. I’m hopeful the more folks see of Harris, rather than their pre-existing largely meme originated opinions, the more they’ll like her.

I think he was massively over coached. Trying to fight to remember a ton of talking points and then getting them muddled up and stuck in that detail. He’d have been better off just freestyling it.

TikTok spider has been a real offender for me. For one site I host it burred through 3TB of data over 2 months requesting the same 500 images over and over. It was ignoring the robots.txt too, I ended up having to block their user agent.

One thing the EU got right was reducing interchange fees to 0.5%. The ridiculous situation in the US where airlines have become credit card companies that happen to have planes is madness.

Folks might like kickbacks but they’re paying for them anyway, it’s just hidden in the price and subsidised by folks who don’t use these cards.

The US should follow the EU’s lead here.

That AI bubble sure is getting plenty of air pumped in.

Heres a video of him saying “that plays great before the election. Now we don’t care”

Sorry for the Facebook link!

I imagine SMS authorisation texts are Telegrams biggest single expense, they are for Signal https://signal.org/blog/signal-is-expensive/

Telcos know that authentication is about the only remaining use case for SMS and are not going to turn down the revenue stream.

That said this idea from Telegram sounds absurd. Not least I expect most contracts prevent reselling free SMS’s like this. The security implications have got to be significant too.
