I just downloaded it and tried it. Unfortunately, since I live in the vast suburban sprawl of a major US city, its ETA is way off because I doesn’t take traffic info account. Compared to Google Maps, its ETA was off by a significant margin (12 minutes OM vs 20 minutes Google Maps and 38 vs 54).

Glad to see this is an active project though.

I get these texts occasionally. What’s their goal? Ask for money eventually?

Search “$podcast_title RSS” to find a feed of it. The MP4 urls will be part of the feed.

Not sure if you’re joking, but this is book 2 of 4 in a series.

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

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

What should we judge next?

Thanks for the in-depth explanation.

What’s a tankie? I keep seeing that term on Lemmy and nowhere else. I feel like I should know it by now.

If it is, it’s news to me. I co-owned an education data consultancy (before realizing there was no money in education) that used a .org; we were for-profit.

Damn, you’re so enlightened.

2013-2014 was when the timeline shifted from being a chronological timeline to a feed. The algo took over and it went to shit.

$1000? I have a hard cap at $600 on principle. Just get a phone one generation old and it’s easy.

It’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.

Hah, well time to tell our CEO I’m shutting down our prod servers.

Thank you for putting into words some of the emotions I’ve felt over the last 9 months.

Back 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.

Yeah! Everyone should have to pay full price for their roads or build their own!

So legally speaking, what happens if it was my 8 year old son, who clicks buttons with no regard for human life, that agreed to this BS TOS? How is that legally binding?

If you have Python Django or Flask experience, let me know. I’m hiring two positions.
