Yes, this is why I'm describing a design that focuses on just what needs feedback.

Right. In a very different context, I implemented something a lot like this for a game's bug tracker, using assignments. Ask the player to clarify something, assign the bug to feedback. If no one ever comments to save it, it'll ge

Without knowing much about the site or where the items came from, you might be seeing a big founder effect based on the creator's interests (and, inevitably, the biases that likely builds into their network, etc.) But these things ch

I think this practice is hand-in-glove with the general commercial model that a review site like this inherently pushes back against, though? In any case, I've daydreamed about doing something along these lines, plus an aggressive list

We may be playing semantics games, here? Mechanisms that optimize for increased engagement via dynamic suggestions for a user's feed or ~related content are not moderation (unless, perhaps, the algorithmic petting zoo is the only way

They are separate problems. Engagement is still roughly "our" problem, because ad-driven ~media are externalizing the costs of engagement on society. This is where the Upton Sinclair quote fits. Moderation is still roughly the pla

Do you think "disarm the police" would be going better than "defund the police"? (I suspect it would actually be quite a bit more incendiary.) Communication (even at length) is hard. We all bring different baggage to eve

I think I agree with a large chunk of this: there are inevitably triage/discovery problems as the number of things/options go up. The cost of evaluating each remains fairly constant, and at some point production outstrips the abil

Just reading this gave me a hit of anxiety. Despite having never done so, I have recurring dream trope where I've naively driven a car into some place it was easy enough to enter, only to realize it was quite inappropriate. FWIW, a few

Thanks for writing! I haven't had a chance to read it yet, but I'm always looking for new opinions here. Looking forward to going through it :)

My mind's been picking at related ideas from different angles for at least a decade now, I guess. I'm not sure how I feel about this one, but one thing I like about separation approaches in general is that it's easy to imagin

In an alternate youniverse, you delighted in the invitation to shed a prejudice and emerge a little shiny from your old skin.

I'm (temporarily stalled) in the middle of writing a CLI manpage for roughly this kind of purpose (finding a public interface that makes me happy before finally cutting the first release). It has been clarifying in some big ways, but I

If "discovering" your idea is a significant motivator for realizing it, I guess thoroughly scratching the creative itch first might be risky. This is probably it's own Goldilocks or yin/yang sort of thing? Sometimes I qu

I didn't try any networking approach myself so I can't attest to the best. I was on a narrow search for any cheap ~reasonable solution I could recommend for Nix to mitigate the performance hit at install or run time--while avoidin

My own personal experience with `sudo spctl --master-disable` (which is narrowly-focused on large numbers of new script executables, not full apps) suggests that it only stops syspolicyd from using the networked assessment's return,

It hasn't been that long, though. This is a bit of a tautology, but I guess it skews towards people who actually advertise/distribute their primary phone numbers (i.e., for business, or as a contact point for some club/grou

I agree with most of this, but wanted to comment on the "developer environment" part. TL;DR: I feel like you're under-valuing this part? > I think nix isn't as useful for developers using it to setup their workstation

Frustrated by this as well. Have spent several days over the past few months working on a reimplementation of Nix support to make it possible to wind down "community" support without forcing projects to find a new CI. Feels like a

I agree with the general thrust of what you're saying in terms of honesty, but I want to point out that it's not clear that the ground truth fits/supports this framing. If you look at something like https://www.pew

There are multiple games being played concurrently by all of the different participants, making it hard to understand what/why from the local context of a single game. If both sides erode your faith in the system, I suspect it's b

Won't really save you today, but you should be able to replace vlc with mpv; I'm currently viewing the presentations from macOS in this manner.

I admit, I'm tempted to change all of my bios to "aiming for a sugar daddy" and see where life takes me.
