I like how the author figured any cord cutting image will do. Ethernet is not the cord the term refers to.

What’s wrong with the name? I like it. Valid points on everything else though.

So does sudo apt install haha

Damn, you’re so enlightened.

2013-2014 was when the timeline shifted from being a chronological timeline to a feed. The algo took over and it went to shit.

Thanks, I’ll check this out.

Since this is sort of related, what are y’all using for a tiling manager? I really miss Fancy Zones from Windows and would literally pay for a clone on Linux Mint.

$1000? I have a hard cap at $600 on principle. Just get a phone one generation old and it’s easy.

Eh, the ones I know are contrarian assholes.

It’s the Costco of health insurance, and given the competition, that’s a good thing. Literal one-stop-shop for healthcare is pretty fucking nice in the world of networks, specialists, referrals, and “coverage”.

But yeah, they fucked up here.

Hah, well time to tell our CEO I’m shutting down our prod servers.

Yet to be seen if they get run over. That part is up to us.

Back when I was on reddit, I subscribed to about 120 subreddits. Starting a couple years ago though, I noticed that my front page really only showed content for 15-20 subreddits at a time and it was heavily weighted towards recent visits and interactions.

For example, if I hadn’t visited r/3DPrinting in a couple weeks, it slowly faded from my front page until it disappeared all together. It was so bad that I ended up writing a browser automation script to visit all 120 of my subreddits at night and click the top link. This ended up giving me a more balanced front page that mixed in all of my subreddits and interests.

My point is these algorithms are fucking toxic. They’re focused 100% on increasing time on page and interaction with zero consideration for side effects. I would love to see social media algorithms required by law to be open source. We have a public interest in knowing how we’re being manipulated.

Or, and hear me out on this, her position truly changed.

I used to think billionaires were cool. Now I think they’re detrimental to society and represent a lot of what’s wrong with wealth inequality in this country. People learn, opinions change - we should welcome that.

No because he’s just parroting a talking point that he’s heard here without even being accurate.

He could at least acknowledge that her position has changed and we’re close to progress.

Right? Like it’s my job to research his claim that he’s “pretty sure” about.

In what capacity did she put people in jail in Washington state? Let’s follow this thing through to the end.

Tell me more about her history in Washington state, please.

Wow you really have to suck to bomb at roasting Trump… there’s so much to work with.

Yeah! Everyone should have to pay full price for their roads or build their own!
