Your last paragraph about the origin of the hermaneutic effort is surprisingly interesting to me and I know nothing about it. I will be seeking some resources on this to learn more, so if you have suggestions, I would love to hear them.

My wife and I get IG ads for threads that are full of racist, bigoted posts by its users. We have no idea why, since we never click on those sorts of post, and our IG accounts are 100% hobby centric between our own posts and follows. As suc

I guess I have trouble seeing it from a profit perspective. I understand where you are coming from for sure, and rather like your position to be honest, but I am, perhaps, too jaded to accept it. I'm not sure we're in the era of g

"Hype," to me, has always and only had a negative connotation that roughly described it as an empty promise, and nothing more. Be it words on a page or some frontman on uppers jumping around in front of an audience, hype is always

Heck, you need more accuracy than that for a proper cup of tea or coffee. That level of accuracy would also be useful in candy making, a secret hobby of mine. The cheap thermometers tend to have that margin of error and are pretty terrible

I've also found that I can tolerate a variety of lodging conditions and harsh environments, especially cramped ones, so long as I have Internet. I wonder, what psychological mechanism is at play here that allows us to trade comfort for

Same here, it's basically just an empty map. Firefox 121.0 (Build #2015991663), Android 10 Device is an older Lenovo M8 tablet I dig birds and birdwatching, would love to see this app work.

Same, although, I'd really prefer it if I could just buy a game like this direct from the publisher since I don't use Steam, Gog, Itch, etc. To be fair, I get why game devs want their product on those platforms, I just wish it was

I posit that out intrinsic drive to explain everything as though it's origin was from a thinking intelligence similar to our own is what causes us to misunderstand a great deal about our reality, and more specifically, about the possib

I don't know about you, but in my industry, "QA" also means extensive testing to ensure that part/assembly/etc doesn't break with expected operations. So, yeah, from where I'm standing, this was a QA probl

As a rule, if the security feature creates even the slightest bit of inconvenience when using the device, you can bet your bippy that about half the user population will turn said feature off.

Perhaps you should have walled yourself off from my comment, but you still chose to get upset and reply. Weird how that works. I'll you the same thing I told the other responder; Hypocrisy's a helluva drug, eh? Anyway, moving on.

Good counter, you and a few others have given me something to consider.

Totally get what you're saying and agree to an extent, but can you supply examples where algo-driven feeds did not eventually devolve into clickbait/inflammatory/etc recommendations? I am not saying algos are bad, so I should

Bias aside, you present fair counters to my position. However, I still think the leveraging of FOMO is what drives us in the wrong direction with social media. If the market (us, basically) had the general attitude of "if I miss a post

I don't really know how you migrated to the subject of downvoting, but I do not disagree. Never found the idea of "karma" on a forum to be useful for anything other that brigading and collective censorship. I use Harmonic to

Interesting. So you wanting me to stop explaining why someone shouldn't be doing something is you not being interested in changing my mind? You live in an interesting world. What is a dissenting opinion other than an expression of diss

Oh, grow up. Dissenting opinions are welcome on line, being probably the most beautiful part of this whole mess we call the Internet. If you don't like my comment, address the content of the comment and explain to me how my warning of

Stop trying to make Mastodon be Twitter. If that's what you want, go use Twitter. I don't get this mentality of "I like X, but I don't want to use X, so imma go turn Y into X" some devs seem to have. Chronological o

I also considered it, but the existential dread of discovering myself to be an insufferable numpty pretty much quelled that fire.

I definitely did not share your experience. Still don't with modern touch screen keyboards, which I am currently forced to use. I'd love to chalk it up to having large hands, but that is not the case, as my hands are not big by an

At the risk of being shouted down, this is another one of those products that looks great on impulse buy, but when you try to use that tiny keyboard and screen to do any real work with it, the chore of use becomes apparent. I developed my o

Fat-thumbed my previous reply. Anyway, we love taking road trips in our HEV. It's a good middle ground until the kinks of EVs get worked out and I'm confident that will happen soon.

Thoughts after 20 min of use: I like how simple the UX is, there's just a no-bells-and-whistles presentation, which is good. Thanks for not implementing accounts and data collection, as well. This is a big selling point for me on anyth

This is great and all, but in the spirit of the original question, can you share any blogs or sites you like to go to that discuss or review this fundamental stuff?

Anecdotal, but my Gen Z and his friends abhor and avoid FB/IG like the plague. From my perspective, FB is rapidly losing the interests of the younger generations and increasingly looking like a right-wing retirement community. Do we ha
