The total lack of clarity around bots is just the latest proof that the social media giant is poorly run. One thing’s for sure: Twitter needs Elon Musk more than Elon Musk needs Twitter. Violating free speech doesn’t deserve full price.) (Personally, I’d demand an even steeper discount, given Twitter’s track record of censorship. So if he’s right that 20% of accounts are bots, then he should pay 15% less. Here’s my suggestion: For every 1% of Twitter users beyond 5% that are fake, Musk should pay 1% less. If it turns out that Twitter has more fake users than it admits, he also has every right to demand a lower price before buying the company. If it can’t figure out who’s following the leader of the free world, to say nothing of its future owner, there’s a low chance Twitter knows what’s happening on the rest of the platform.Įlon Musk has every right to demand the truth. It only proves his point that Twitter needs to come clean. ![]() The media thinks Musk’s fake followers are hypocritical, but that’s not his fault. How can that be, if Twitter deletes half a million fake accounts every day as it claims it does? A similar process found that about 70% of Musk’s followers may not be “authentic, active” Twitter users. Musk himself has drawn attention to an audit finding that half of President Biden’s 22 million followers are fake. Sure enough, independent research has found that about 20% of active Twitter users are either fake accounts or spam. Everyone I’ve ever talked to says the same thing. Basically anyone who’s ever used Twitter already knows that huge numbers of users are bots, and based on my own experience on the platform, I’d say the real number is well over 5%. Twitter might be deliberately lying, completely incompetent, or maybe both. This is totally unacceptable, especially for someone who wants to buy the company at the enormous cost of $44 billion. What’s worse, this week it refused to make public how it reached that 5% claim. Yet at times, it also says the number “could be higher.” That’s the sort of statement that demands to be unpacked, yet to date, Twitter has failed to do so. In legally binding federal filings, Twitter has said that only 5% of its users are bots. If you listen to the company, the answer is essentially: there is nothing to see here. Musk, and the rest of America, are rightly wondering: What percentage of Twitter is totally fake? Yet the more we learn about Twitter, the more it looks like the company could be holding back the truth. The only good deals are based on full honesty and transparency. I say this as a tech CEO who’s negotiated hundreds of business deals over the past decade. He has Twitter between a bot and a hard place – not the other way around. ![]() It’s Elon Musk who’s doing the right thing and has all the power. The media reports that Twitter might force Musk to go ahead with the deal, and if he doesn’t, he could pay over a billion dollars in penalties. ![]() After agreeing to buy the social media giant, he’s now holding up the deal while trying to discover what percentage of Twitter users are really robots. The media thinks Twitter finally has Elon Musk over a barrel.

![]() ![]() This is a remarkably solid result for Švantner, who was competing in endurance for the very first time. Rookie Petr Švantner finished second in GT4 with Šenkýř Motorsport’s BMW M4 GT4.

Embark on an exciting expedition to crack the intriguing puzzles of the past, while developing new lands for the kingdom! Indeed, these raw materials formed the backbone of European consumerism and industrial development and the fact they were unavailable in mainland Europe provided another reason for piquing European interest in Africa. Capital was often more profitably invested overseas- cheap labour, limited competition, and land rich in raw materials that were easy to extract made a greater return possible. Thus, during the Long Depression (1873-1896) Africa offered Europe an open market that could foster the kind of trade surplus that could help kick start the ailing European economies. Shillington continues that Africa offered the perfect opportunity for European powers, especially Britain, to redress the increasingly dire Balance of Payments situation and ease the rabidly protectionist nature of the continental markets. Indeed, as Shillington cites, Africa saw a transition from ‘informal imperialism’ of exerting influence through military and economic dominance to that of direct rule from London, Paris, Berlin and other European capitals. The great example of this was the scramble for Africa. The imposition of the will of a nation over another must have roots in autocratic principles merely by the fact that democracy has been quashed by the substitution of the government of the host nation by the colonial power’s own regime. Indeed, Rees continues by saying that not only can imperialism be an excuse for a somewhat dubious exertion of power, rather is, by necessity, autocratic. Indeed, Hobson suggests that such a projection of power can justify direct military intervention as well as economic coercion, political pressure or simple colonisation to achieve the aim of spreading the direct and indirect influence of the imperial master. Imperialism is considered the desire to extend the influence of one’s nation over the, primarily, economic and political machinations of other nations to the colonial powers’ benefit. ![]() Indeed, such case studies need to underscore the basic issues of democratic-imperialistic interaction in a microcosm- and as such I intend to look at Joseph Chamberlain and Theodore Roosevelt, in the British and American perspectives respectively, in order to see firstly how suitable each is in fulfilling the role of democrat and imperialist, as well as seeing how they personally dealt with issues concerning democracy and imperialism.įirstly, however, we need to clarify what democracy and imperialism are and how that is applicable in a practical context. ![]() ![]() However, the overlapping issues of both imperialism and democracy, and the subsequent conflicts of interest need to be highlighted before we set such findings against the backdrop of our specific case studies. In such a vast topic as examining the compatibility of democracy and imperialism we need to select two case studies that allow us not only to examine the interaction between democratic and imperialistic principles but also the practical compromise that both strains of thought are forced to come to. ![]() Has democracy proved compatible with imperialism?Īnswer with reference to at least two case studies. Just think about it, all your cloud-based services storage accessible through your desktop and the amount of storage on your computer, don’t need any file and folder for now move it to the virtual drive. Still not satisfied? You remember my last post on mounting Box.net drive as a virtual drive, Otixo lets you to do the same. If you are a mobile user you can access your data through their mobile app.Īs you can see I connected my Box account through Otixo.Īll you need to do login once to your cloud-based services accounts through Otixo and you’ll be able to access your entire folder browsing through different cloud-based services storage as computer drives. On the top of that you don’t have to login in to your cloud-based services account to access your data, all you have to is login to your Otixo account, that is all your cloud-based services accounts can now be accessed with a single password. Through Otixo you can easily search your files across many cloud-based services with ease and move your files from one service to another like you do it in your computer.

What I’m going to tell you is you can make free personal accounts on all the cloud-based services and connect them together so that you can have access to all your data situated on different cloud-based services Storage. But problem arises when you try to manage all those accounts through different official apps. I don't know how you interact with OneDrive, but since this can all be done with a batch file, you can leverage automation in order to make this easy and as effortless as possible.5 Connect Multiple Cloud Storage to make Big Space and Manage from one WindowĪll the cloud-based services situated over the internet do let you have some free space for personal account or you can have more space for some money.

Alternatively, a service called Otixo will allow you to map Google Drive as a drive but in order to do so, you need WebDav which is a paid feature. Dropbox does not support it natively, but there is a paid service called DropDav you can look into. Google Drive does not support any of this technology. This method above works only for OneDrive. So it will be slower than if you had them synced locally, albeit not much. Please keep in mind that since the files are not locally on your system, you are essentially mapping OneDrive as a drive when the resources are all on remote Microsoft servers. ![]() You can either use the command-line switch /P:Yes instead of /P:No in my example, or click Remember Credentials if you use the GUI. Instead of using use - and you will be prompted for credentials. You can utilize UNC, instead of accessing it like \\server\share you will just need to use the path in your batch file. You don't need to map OneDrive as a network drive. The space free does not reflect your OneDrive storage, rather it reflects your computer's hard drive's storage (they're exactly the same). In "This PC" you will see the OneDrive folder you chose mapped as a network drive. Change to your actual email address, and you can change drive N: to any letter you choose that is not currently being used. Adjust XXXX to your CID, and adjust the file path accordingly to the folder you need. Save the file as map.bat (batch file, not text file). Note all of the Xs which is your unique CIDįor demonstration purposes, open Notepad and paste this code in (all one line): You should see the link comes back as.This is also a workaround for the "placeholders" issue people have complained about with the OneDrive client.įurthermore, you can automate this process ![]() I use many computers on a daily basis that aren't mine and this is exactly what I can do.
