  Hey Fedi! We ARE the algorithm. But that also means it can take a little extra work to get the feed that works for you. How do YOU 🫵 curate your feed? How do you use lists? Here's my algorithm: Someone posts something cool? Follow 'em. Someone posts something EXTREMELY COOL (or I've seen their cool content before)? They get added to my ⭐️ Faves list. Then, in the Advanced Web Interface (Ala Tweetdeck, see 2nd link below), I've got: 1. ⭐️ Faves. 🔘Hide these posts from Home. Als...

  (1/2) I've become fascinated learning more about how the current AI bubble will pop, and what that'll look like. First up, we have an entertaining historical perspective on bubbles. The thesis here is that much of the "pro AI" vs. "anti AI" discourse may be asking the wrong questions; focusing on the demand side rather than the supply side. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2J2Fb1bBufA #economics

  #theOnion does not miss. ❝There’s likely a link here between most Americans only getting 20 or 30 minutes of sleep each night and the amount of their lives now given over to frantically pressing ‘Resend’ after they fail to receive a particular code, then receiving far too many codes and being unable to figure out which one is still valid. Unfortunately, it seems this problem is only getting worse.❞ https://theonion.com/study-97-of-average-americans-day-spent-retrieving-6-digit-codes/ #humor...

  I laughed very hard. Standup special by a 39yo self-described witch who has no fucks to give Omg, and she just addressed the "12 foot tall skeleton" trend (US Halloween decoration); that baffled me. https://youtu.be/keeGXF8Ajms #humor #comedy #standup

  Apropos of the events at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, this is your periodic reminder that confidently espousing and sharing #conspiracy theories is an embarrassing look. The wise @margaret says it best: https://margaretkilljoy.substack.com/p/forget-the-conspiracies

  All the songs that use the "Creep" chord progression. Lawsuits around one song plagiarizing another often make me roll my eyes (video notes another earlier artist who sued and won royalties and gained songwriting credits on Creep!) But damn, Lana Del Ray plagiarized the shit out of "Creep" with "Get Free" Also featured: a Rick and Morty song, and the Steven Universe theme song. https://youtu.be/NyiEMdbfjG8 #music #musicTheory #songwritin...

  Was just gifted a friend's old Xbox 360. Plan on keeping it offline unless there's a very compelling reason to connect it. Went to update its date/time (presently set to 2005), and the year maxes out at 2025 😆 Software engineers, post Y2K: "Well, we've learned some lessons, and can build systems that avoid this issue in the future."
