And yet you’re on Lemmy which also has a hot feed.
The things is you can do both, and it’s hard and unrewarding to find interesting things on Mastodon. So I stopped trying.
The really dumb things is the new feed is also an algorithm. You’re just proud that it’s not very good.
It’s just a mathematical inevitablity that it won’t work well.
Most people’s posts are not as good as their best ones and if I’m just going to dip into a site I’d like to see things I’m interested in that other people also thought were good.
Some people don’t like to use social media like that though, and more power to you if Mastodon scratches your itch.
Yeah but most toots are boring, and the chronological feed, and refusal to even hide repeated posts by the same person, does Masterdon absolutely no favors.
I think the last time I logged in my new feed was entirely posts by Cory doctro, who just decided to toot an entire article, and after I clicked more posts enough, it was just showing pictures of someone else’s cup of tea.
There’s a hacky bridge that’s meant to allow for it, but Bluesky uses a different protocol, so no they can’t without a bunch of effort.

Yeah I tried to move to Mastodon but without a hot feed it’s just so boring.
Unfortunately only Bluesky and Lemmy seem to be attempting a decentralized hot feed, and Lemmy is too quiet for niche topics, and Bluesky is only decentralized in theory.
That’s probably more a stalling tactic then anything else.
The longer they can run down the clock, the greater the chance is that Trump dismantles the FCC before the case is over, and even if he doesn’t do that it lets them keep selling data for longer.
Privacy badger does this.
Every embedded link to Twitter requires you to click to enable them.
Wainwright has already condemned it and Leonard Cohen’s estate has issued a cease and desist order in response.
I’m expecting the full Elvis.
Dies on the toilet while eating a big Mac.
I thought it was someone watching their partner give/receive oral sex and cycling through anger and depressed acceptance.
Fuck palantir, I want to know how Sauron is voting.
They recommend that you do vote, and don’t vote for anyone except Harris.
But they don’t explicitly recommend you vote for Harris.
This is super serious voting strategy you guys.
Both. It’s satire.
The “benefit” of world hunger is that it keeps people locked in their place and entrenches the status quo. This is actually true, and the author believes it, but he doesn’t like it.
Many people benefit from world hunger though, and every time you hear that poverty is a hard problem to solve you should ask yourself, how much of that is actual problems and how much is the status quo resisting change?
And all the doom games.
If you hate billionaires but like steak, have you tried eating the rich?
A relationship graph which requires no gay relationships is called a bigraph (honest, I’m not making this up) or bipartite.
That follows because if you can two color the graph so that edges only connect different colors, you just assign male to one color and female to the other.
This means there’s a tone of mathematical identities describing this. Wikipedia has a good introduction.
He fucked up dropping out as well as everything else. People can still vote 🪱 in a bunch of states.
It really comes down to what you’re used to. If you use Windows tools then you already know many of the workarounds for Windows and you don’t know the tools that haven’t been ported there.
For example, you know not to use Python directly, but that you have to install anaconda instead, or whatever the current problems with Python development on Windows are.
The big obvious thing that you can’t get away from is that you have to do things differently if you have develop for two different OSs with a view to deploying on Linux.
In particular support for shell scripts is crap on Windows. I could learn powershell or there’s workarounds using WSL and a bunch of other stuff that I don’t need to care about, but I’d rather not bother.
I mean coding is difficult enough as it is, I wouldn’t choose to use an OS that makes it even harder.
I use Linux because it makes my life easier. It has better support for development. Some of the other stuff is maybe not as easy or polished, but the support for dev tools and the ease of deploying to from local machines to servers that are also running Linux makes up for it.
If I wanted more effort I’d still be using Windows. It would force me to work on cross platform development and deployment. The idea that there’s value in making things unnecessarily hard is just weird. I want Linux to be as simple as possible to use, so I can spend that effort on things that actually matter.
I didn’t think so. It’s a deliberate design decision by the developers to make it really hard to compute.
This is actually something where Bluesky is doing more interesting federated things than Lemmy or Mastodon, and let’s you use your own algorithm while with both Lemmy and Mastodon you’re stuck with standard algorithms.
None of the alternative algorithms are particularly compelling yet, they’re mostly topic feeds, but who knows what’ll happen.
