  • Why do People Choose BlueSky Over Mastodon?

    Jump

  • Exactly, a lot of algorithms on for-profit sites are manipulative trash but refusing to have any algorithm at all is throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

  • Why do People Choose BlueSky Over Mastodon?

    Jump

  • Yeah being manipulated by algorithm is a problem. The best solution I can think of is Mastodon adding the ability to choose your algorithm. Not just a list of approved ones since the admins could manipulate that list, but the ability to actually upload some code so you can either write your own algorithm or choose one written by someone you trust.

    That comes with a lot of problems like potentially overworking the server so I don't know if it's actually a viable solution but it would be nice.

    Jump

  • I'm on both Mastodon and Bluesky. To me, Mastodon's biggest problem is its refusal to have an algorithm to surface popular content. Yes there are problems with algorithms, but I don't have the time or inclination to read every post in chronological order. A good algorithm would show me popular posts without manipulating me for profit.

    Edt: a few people have misunderstood me. I'm not proposing "Mastodon shows me stuff from people I don't follow," I'm suggesting "Mastodon shows me stuff only from people I follow, but it shows me the popular stuff first."

  • How do you solve/deal with procrastination?

    Jump

  • Counterintuitively, I try to do less. If I have 5 things to do today and can't motivate myself to get started, I push all but 1 or 2 off until later. Then I know a nice, log break is waiting for me for the rest of the day if I finish those things. At that point, getting the one or two things done feels worthwhile, and it feels like there's a reward for me at the end (goofing off guilt-free).

    I mean, I wasn't going to get all 5 things done today because I'm a procrastinator. But if I accept that and make the workload much lighter, can get a little done.

  • I've just been introduced to Taco Bell. What should I be trying?

    Jump

  • Chalupas (I think these are basically the same as their gorditas but with a fried shell)

    And honestly their regular, basic beef soft tacos are pretty good, especially with some fire sauce (or whatever your preferred level of spice is).

  • Thank you for this! I thought Firefox for Android was slow - nope, uBlock was just doing too much.

    What in the fuck is this timeline?! "Anti-Furry Student Walkout Protest at Mt Nebo Middle School in Payson Utah"

    Jump

  • Where I'm coming from: I'm just a random person on the internet, my opinion doesn't really matter. So I'm willing to apply heuristics here that I would not apply if I were directly involved in the situation. If I were directly involved I would want to know more before rendering a judgment.

    The heuristic I applied here was: this whole thing about "furries in schools" has come up repeatedly as a right-wing talking point and to my knowledge it has been a lie 100% of the time. So I was comfortable applying the heuristic of "if this has been a lie every other time it has come up, this time it is probably a lie." As they say extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, so I would need something extraordinary to convince me that furries assaulting students with impunity is a thing that actually happened. Not impossible, there are enough humans on the earth that absolutely bonkers things happen all the time, but extraordinarily unlikely to be true.

    A cursory search revealed a much more believable story: some students wore headbands possibly with ears on them to school, and other kids were assholes to them. Honestly the only surprising thing to me is how reasonable the administration was: they sent a letter reminding students that those headbands are not allowed by dress code but also reminding the other students that being terrible to your fellow students is not ok. I remember high school, this all sounds believable to me (except for the part where administration admonished the food-throwing bullies, that's a little bit of a surprise to me).

  • I'll take "things that never happened" for $1,000, Alex. Fortunately some actual journalists looked into it and this is all a lie: https://www.ksl.com/article/50985141/no-evidence-of-furries-in-nebo-school-district-despite-allegations-social-media-firestorm

    After the administration had conversations with the students wearing the headbands — noting that they were a "little bit of a disruption" — the students stopped wearing them, Sorenson said.

    The letter also addressed the food throwing targeted at the headband-wearing students, saying that a "written, verbal or a physical act that creates a hostile, threatening, humiliating, or abusive environment is not permitted."

  • AI Discovers New Material That Could Slash Lithium Use In Batteries

  • We call this a "load-bearing could." Or, "could is doing a lot of work in that sentence." I mean, sure, it could, in the same sense that angry ticks could fire out of my nipples.

    When AI starts telling us how to efficiently manufacture these new materials, now that would be revolutionary.

  • Faster than ever: Wi-Fi 7 standard arrives

    Jump

  • Yeah, it will help and it won't. If you're uploading through a typical cable internet connection, WiFi will almost never be the bottleneck. But if you're streaming 4k in a part of your house that doesn't have good coverage while other people use the same connection, it could make a difference.

    I do a lot of streaming from my desktop to my TVs and I occasionally have bandwidth problems, so this could help that. And I have 300 up / 300 down fiber Internet, and in parts of my house I have problems getting anywhere close to that on WiFi. So WiFi 7 might help with those cases even if in the end your ISP is usually the bottleneck.
