    Citing user complaints, Gamers Nexus listed the following monitors as auto-installing LG Monitor App Installer onto PCs. But with Microsoft approving of the practice, there may be more monitors installing LG?s bloatware:

    I saw this. The application serves no purpose other than to install
    other applications. I can't imagine how anyone would defend this
    practise, but DFS will do so anyway.

    Ditto for Macs. Because Unix/Linux.

    It's part of what makes it unbearable for me to know that if I want the
    whole of the performance I should expect with some games, I have no
    choice but to run Windows. At this point, that's what my gaming laptop
    is going to be used for: games only. For everything else, I'm on the Mac.

    Leftist name-calling, like "facist" and "racist", has lost it's power.

    If Musk's AI leans right, it's good that it does, to counter-balance
    the leftist AI's. You do remember when Google's AI depicted our
    Founding Fathers as black men, right?

    Poor leftists. They lost their monopoly on major social media sites,
    and now they cry about it. "That bad man lets people say what they
    think!"

    Life indeed began in Africa, and I find it hard to imagine there being
    any pale-skinned Homo sapiens there. There were many dark skinned though perhaps due to dirt on their skin.

    <https://worldofpaleoanthropology.org/2024/07/07/how-we-know-that-africa-is-the-birthplace-of-humankind/>

    Again some historians are challenging this notion but who knows better
    than Elon Musk.

    For even one platform to be right of centre is intolerable to them. I
    remember the war they waged on Gab and how quickly they sought to hack
    the service to expose anyone who supported it. Now that they don't have
    total control over Twitter, they can't stick around. They have to go to Threads, Bluesky or anything else where there is no sign of anyone
    right-wing who might expose how retarded they are.

    There is no real evidence that life began in Africa. It's wishful
    thinking to make the continent, which has never managed to get off the
    ground despite having a wealth of resources, look more important than it
    is.
