  That someone is you

  That seems like a good way, to give the user the option. In your opinion, are these algorithms transparent enough to understand or even verify for regular users?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chances for the fediverse? Elon Musk takes hit as Europeans ditch X in droves⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  3 is a feature to me. The “algorithms” seem to create bubbles, and I want to decide myself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do office workers actually do?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hmm, but also construction workers building offices. How far does this rabbit hole go? An office worker involved in a project to hire construction workers to build an office for a construction company?

  As someone not from the US, what can we do to help?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They should suffer⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This could be a Black Mirror episode. A sentient ad that felt pain when skipped fighting to avoid pain. It would have no option than to try to get around ad-blockers and be sneaky and feel bad about annoying users, but the alternative is pain.

  Danish?

  Is it not working well? What is it lacking?

  If the money is freely given as a donation, then I’m with you. If lack of money is what is stopping someone from making things that others are willing to pay to see more of, then sure. But if the only way to do it is to have ads or selling our data etc, then I don’t want that.

  I’d rather have one unix surrealism than a thousand influencers with lots of followers. These days, I want to be among people who interact as equals, who share ideas, who cooperate in a genuine way. If we try a shortcut to more users through money, what is the point?

  Penultimate? Which one is the ultimate then?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you also feel cringe about people making such a big deal about ethnicity?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The follow up question then is, how do we deal with that as a species? If we assume that humans have tribalistic tendencies, I don’t want to say inherent, but, deeply rooted? Can education and external pressure make it go away? Can we direct it into something else? It seems like sports teams with their fans is an outlet at least preferable to war, for example.

  I work with old people and can tell you it’s not just when they’re young.

  What’s your favourite linux distro?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Feedback about our name: someone's concerns on sharing⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I am partial to pdksh, mainly because when I read it I hear a drummer going “ba-dum-tschh” like at the end of a joke, which is how I see most of my sed invokations.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Coming on Lemmy and complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Only for a while, because I heard that it’s the year of Linux on the desktop this year, so… I guess the rest of the world will join us pretty soon.
