At this point, whenever I see the "are you a robot" captcha, unless I SERIOUSLY need that particular site, I just leave and go spend another hour looking for an alternative.

It is not only anoying, but almost insulting at this point.

AND NO. I DO NOT WANT TO TRAIN YOUR TESLA!!!

@LukeAlmighty Captcha in general is horrible, and the shit they're using on 4chan is even worse than the usual BS. Fucking hell, it's like having to play a shitty mini-game every time you want to post something.
@ChristiJunior @LukeAlmighty If you impose captcha because of a DDOS attack the terrorists have already won.
@judgedread @ChristiJunior @LukeAlmighty They do shit like that because they don't understand how to mitigate DDOS, or they don't don't have a human on hand that can so they go they most expedient route.
@l0wk3y @ChristiJunior @LukeAlmighty No human on hand is the rule not the exception. 'Can't we lay off some technical staff, that isn't a profit center' - the credo of the MBA.
@judgedread @ChristiJunior @LukeAlmighty Tell me about it.

I can't count the amount of times I've had that conversation.

>"You're going to save some money, but if something goes wrong, you're going to lose a fuck ton of money"

"Derp a derp derp"

>"Good talk, ya fuckin drone."
@l0wk3y @ChristiJunior Look no further than Torba. He stumbled into a gold mine, but he wouldn't hire the staff to make it a real business. He let bots drive out human users and eat expensive Azure resources until there was nothing left but absolute retards and 400,000 spambots.
@judgedread @ChristiJunior Gab is a textbook example of one fuck up after another fuck up.

I've said this a million times, but with the kind of money he was raising he could have set up his own hosting with his own servers, and hired people who knew what the hell was going on.

Now he's got....Colbert and no money.

@judgedread @l0wk3y@dickkickextremist.xyz @ChristiJunior I don't know anything about running social media platforms but allowing bot accounts like @Freedomjames and @F16VIPER01 seems kind of stupid, no?

@Spahnranch1969 @judgedread @ChristiJunior @F16VIPER01 Those aren't even fun bots. They're just there to generate the perception of traffic.

Bots imo are ok so long as they're labeled and the posting rate is limited.
@l0wk3y @Spahnranch1969 You have to ban mass brigades. Gab has hundreds of thousands of bots that post three times a week.

What absolute CRAP. I AM INDEED HUMAN... AND I use GAB. Your theory's BLOWN.
@judgedread @l0wk3y@dickkickextremist.xyz @ChristiJunior

@NancyKay @ChristiJunior There are around 1000 real humans. I guess you're one of them. So am I.

Do not self destruct. We'll blast our way out.
@l0wk3y It doesn't help that normie managers believe the myths about Google and Facebook doing everything 'algorithmically'

Uh.. no. Read the disclosures. They have tens of thousands of human editors and mods fine tuning shit 24/7.
@judgedread

Here are some words that piss me off.

Algorithmically.

Cloud computing.

Docker

"The server"

Disruptive

Cyber-fucking-anything
@judgedread

The words "certified ethical hacking" make me want to break things.
@l0wk3y Hacker is almost always misused.

The hacker known as 4chan...
@judgedread The tards known as CNN.

Morons have created a massive culture of industry grift that allows complete mediocrities to gate-keep and to fleece people who don't know any better.

It's also really fucking dangerous.
@l0wk3y There is no such thing as management. There is domain specific knowledge. Managers lack it, so they concentrate on their alleged people skills... yet everyone hates them.
@judgedread Managers in every situation I've worked in have always been failed human beings.
@l0wk3y I got 'there's no such thing as management' from no less than the CEO of General Electric.
@judgedread Managers are always the least imaginative, one dimensional people.
@l0wk3y MBA - I couldn't be bothered to study anything in particular. Where's the keg?
@judgedread Oh you should see the really low level ones.

Like a bar manager, if you really want to meet a complete retard.
@l0wk3y I haven't had to deal with anyone on that level in a long time. A long time...
@judgedread I used to work weekends for the extra $500 or so I could make and the chance to meet women.

It's not worth it to have some guy with an IQ of 90, wearing a cheap ill fitting suit talk to me like I'm an idiot.

@l0wk3y @judgedread
Cloud computing is my favorite.
There is no way you can explain "EVEN TO SOME IT GUYS" that cloud is just another server :pepelol:

@LukeAlmighty @judgedread Ikr?

>"Its just someone else's server."

"Its an emerging technology that's going to be highly disruptive..."

>"Shut the fuck up!" :ablobrage:
@LukeAlmighty @l0wk3y Someone else's server run by people you should by no means trust.

@l0wk3y @ChristiJunior @judgedread

Well, the cheapest options turns out to be the most expansive most of the time...

And at this point, I am just used to the level of stupidity You can expect from an average person...
