On That "Truth" Thing

Trump's new venture - Truth Social - crashed. Because most new software thingies crash when first released, and...

No, actually they fucking don't. Not when they're developed and managed by professionals who know what the fuck they're doing.

Yes, there's always a glitch or two. And yes, the Beta Version is always kind of a wreck at first, which is why you do the Beta thing in a very limited environment. You don't just put the thing out there in wide release and let it crap out in public so everybody can see what a fucking disaster it is.

Of course, this is Trump, so - yeah.

A tech product that doesn't work as if by magic is not ready for the market.


BTW - all the hyperbolic attacks on "big tech" are being orchestrated (IMO) as pretext to the "conservative" plan to turn around and seize control of the platforms for information distribution, and of the info itself.

They make a big noise...

"All you faithful hard-working Americans are being victimized by Big Tech, and you need the strength of a strong leader to strongly show those weak-but-somehow-amazingly-powerful nerds who the strongest and strongly strengthiest boss really is."

...which makes it easier to convince people you're doing all this really nasty shit for all the right reasons.
