An innovative custom designer can use other tools or do manual animations / layout if they require.

Alice Newton-Rex, head of product at WhatsApp: “Alongside of private messaging, people were saying they wanted to hear more about topics, teams and organizations across WhatsApp.”

- I am pretty sure NO ONE asked to hear about more topics and organizations across whatsapp.

Agree. Not all systems require convo mode. I personally find Chat/Convo/IVR type interface slow/tedious. Keyboard/Mouse ftw.

However, A CEO using Power BI with Convo to can get more insights/graphs rather than slice/dicing his data. They do have fixed metrics but incase they want something not displayed.

There has to be a fine line between blatant misinformation and social content. Internet is now a matured technology and now (Social Media, esp.) is easily exploited by various entities. You should read up a bit more on this, rather than blaming META. Our way of life and trust in institutions is under threat due to blatant abuses by Russia. They were also paying $100,000 per video to influencers to create distrust in everything.

Was just trying to troubleshoot for the sake of curiosity. But yeah, your method works.

When is the last time you restarted your mac? I had this guy complain to me, everything is laggy and chrome is slow (memory leaks?). A simple restart fixed everything. Clear your chrome cache/etc. Disable all extensions you dont use and try again.

If it does not, try another browser.

Browsing for 15 mins on twitter and you can see .eth blue ticked usernames spewing Russian propaganda. Elon fired most of its vetting team and handicapped the reporting function. Adversaries are riding "free speech" on twitter without moderation and are running it. Elon seems to be doing it on purpose as he has an agenda with Peter Thiel/David Sacks.

Facebook/Instagram reporting system works better. Well, after 30 years of the internet, what started out as helpful online community/resource has now sadly been weaponized. I miss the early web 2.0 days (2003 - 2009)

What comes next?

I was all with you until you mentioned,

"similar to the Ghost cities you see in China and India"

I don't think India has ghost cities in the way you mean.

His views do matter to provide context as to why he was in Ukraine and why he was in Jail. During war, normal rules don't apply. You have to be daft to support Russia, while you are in Ukraine. He was a grifter, enough said.

Yes, your model makes sense if you dont require gaming. Asus really makes the best devices. I have been theirs's and HTC fan for years. Had Lamborghini laptop from Asus and HTC diamond phone circa 2008-9.
