Just wanted to let you know you are on ignore. All others should do the same.

I did the old ignorefest a while back.

Now I just read you guys having a rant at the fuckers.

There's worse ways to spend an hour.

We rightly call out depraved high-level corruption in the DRC, and also throw around plenty of jokes about paper bags and stuff. Calling out bullshit is good. Humor is good.

But just as a more serious take on the issue and really understanding just how pervasive corruption is and how ingrained into the normal way of doing things, this article was really insightful.

- Essentially, a young customs worker tried to do the right thing and refuse bribes, and he was killed.

We've been through shit with this saga. But I do hope that the silver lining on our stormcloud of stubbornly sticking to the rules is that it does actually create an opening for DRC to start moving towards a more accountable system that actually benefits its citizens, rather than fueling more corruption.

For me, its one of the possible benefits of a deal with KoKo. They may be playing hardball on price, but the deal will absolutely have to be squeqky clean. And with Gates backing the company there is at least some board level guidance from someone who has genuinely put his money where his mouth is to help people in Africa.

Floribert Kositi: DR Congo's would-be saint murdered 'mafia style' for refusing bribes

Congolese customs official Floribert Bwana Chui Bin Kositi has been beatified for standing up to corruption.

My research come across this just for others...!

At DRC's capital, government officials and KoBold executives convened in July to formalize a preliminary exploration accord, with President Félix Tshisekedi present for the signing.

The agreement, executed by Minister of Mines Kizito Pakabomba and KoBold DRC director Benjamin Katabuka, outlined a commitment to digitalize national geological datasets, initiate lithium-focused activity at Manono, and apply AI-enabled prospecting tools across broader mineral-rich regions.

you should be digitalized........

Guys and gals, WIno will open our old Zero Troll conversation again.

apologies in advance to some of the new users who may not get invited, we will do our best to let most people in.

We all came over to this site to get away from the fucking shit posts and constant trolling on HC, mainly you cretin

If you don’t get an invite, our “committee" think you’re a troll - sorry about that

We’ll be back here once Zeeb0t returns and deals with a backlog of issues

How do some of us long term minimal posters with a clean track record get the invite. It's the pointy end and TSE has become a bit of an addiction. P

Happened to ask GROK the meaning of Kobold... hoping they don't live up to their name

Enough of the AI shite.

All it does is regurgitate stuff from the interwebs. It doesn't know anything.

In fact, as people post the results of their AI searches,AI engines pick that up too until they disappear up their own arses.

All the AI crap posted is just making up more incorrect speculation.

@Pedro
Just DM Winenut mate. He is the only one with the capacity to invite users to the conversation, as I said yesterday.

bear with him - seems to be affected by a powercut at the moment

 

[Felix]

Can you expand on these said two offers?

Yup

Three

AI is completely based on the crap in gives crap out principle, you can't blame AI for that.

If AI would base its considered opinion on HC alone, one have to be aware of the enormous uncontrolled volume of shrinklish excrement generated by the likes of shane, the shithouse, the shitstick and not to forget the rattlecock, the result would be absolutely laughable.

However it takes also other sources also in consideration, but people have to be aware that AI is seriously floored by the crap generated on sources like HC.

Grok and AI needs serious filters integrated in it and be able to discard the loonies, otherwise it really is not worth more than a toy, good for a laugh and not a valuable tool.
