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

9·2 years ago2013-2014 was when the timeline shifted from being a chronological timeline to a feed. The algo took over and it went to shit.
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.

6·2 years agoIt’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.

681·2 years agoBack 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.

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.

12·2 years agoNo 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.

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