I’m not sure you understand how a suggestion algorithm works, it’s not something that can be run locally without having to then load and process thousands of messages. There is no aspect of that that could be run locally while simultaneously not having to load all the messages you’re attempting to sort and make recommendations on.
It is not at all equivalent to a word filter, a word filter is not attempting to find something, it’s a filter that applies to things that are already being loaded regardless. When a post comes in the word filter looks to see whether or not it has a word that needs to be filtered. An algorithm needs to find new content out of all the content available and then attempt to determine whether or not it’s something that should recommend meaning the client would have to load thousands upon thousands of random posts from the Federalists in order to make that algorithm work
- Comment on rust foundation is now on mastodon 2 weeks ago:
Discovery is just the worst, lemmy has a problem with it as well but it’s somehow just amplified on Mastodon. There is basically no way for me to organically find things I would be interested in. If I don’t already directly know how to find someone or something I want then I’m never going to come across it.
Compare that with blue sky which has a basic Discovery algorithm that I can pretty easily tune to what I want using filter lists I was able to very quickly get it to understand what type of artists I’m interested in following and what type of content I want to see and what I don’t want to see and through that I have discovered a bunch of artists I otherwise never would have known about.
Mastodon works good enough if you only want to follow very specific people that you already know about and can easily find but if you’re hoping to actually organically discover content I found it awful. The feeds for instances are pretty generic they don’t try to tailor to your interests it’s just a dump of whatever is on that instance or whatever it’s Federated with depending on how you view it which basically just guaranteed it was always filled with stuff I couldn’t give less of a shit about.
It’s very possible that the interface has changed since I last used it but at least when I used it the interface was pretty clunky and not very fun to use at least in my opinion, I did host my own instance for a little while and used a Twitter bot to copy the art of artists I liked over to a mastodon feed but you know all those Bots broke a little while before it became X so ended up giving up on that

Yeah saw that and wasn’t a fan, I’m probably in the minority here but i don’t just blindly want fediverse if its a bad experience. Lemmy is ok, still has some issues but i can use it without being frustrated. But mason just sucks imo
- Comment on rust foundation is now on mastodon 2 weeks ago:
Would probably get more traction on bluesky, i know it’s not decentralized but at least it’s open source. Mastodon just sucks to use (imo)
- Comment on Ah shit. Here we go again. 4 weeks ago:
I mean there is the fact that having the shower running while you’re sitting there taking a shit is kind of a waste of water, disregarding pain for it there’s also just the waste in general. Drinkable water is actually becoming a lot more scarce than I think people realize.
That being said I have absolutely no right to say anything because I take like 15 to 20 minute showers when I could absolutely take shorter ones so shit away my friends
- Comment on Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you 4 weeks ago:
It’s difficult to be sympathetic because you are viewing the property as an asset financially. And not as a place to live, he likely does not give a shit that it’s appreciated and value because he has absolutely no intention whatsoever of selling and he plans to live there till he dies and that’s how housing should be viewed

I’ll bookmark this comment, not because I don’t think it will happen but because I think April is a little too soon I’m giving it more like July August

I have watched literally every anime with villainess in its title and so far all of them have been good. Some better but all at least good. SOONER OR LATER this will not work but until that day I’m enjoying one single word being a flag for a good time

- Comment on Elon's Death Machine (aka Tesla) Mows Down Deer at Full Speed , Keeps Going on "Autopilot" 5 months ago:
Real Autopilot also needs constant attention, the term comes from aviation and it’s not fully autonomous. It maintains heading, altitude, and can do minor course correction.
It’s the “full self driving” wording they use that needs shit on.
- Comment on Elon's Death Machine (aka Tesla) Mows Down Deer at Full Speed , Keeps Going on "Autopilot" 5 months ago:
Inb4 it actually stopped with hazards like I’ve seen in other videos. Fuck elon and fuck teslas marketing of self driving but I’ve seen people reach far for karma hate posts on tesla sooooooo ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- Comment on Crunchyroll just Committed a Federal Crime. 5 months ago:
The best citation I can give you at the moment is to have you ask your local Post office. I have before with mine and you can find many anecdotes of other people talking to their own post office and the answer you will generally get from the post office is that they deliver to an address and the owner of that address has the right to receive mail so when mailing to a business the business has the right to receive that mail even if it is somebody else’s name on the mail.
Technically it does violate a couple common laws depending on the situation. You can find an explanation at shrm.org/…/can-employers-open-employee-mail-sent-…
Use reading mode in Firefox to bypass the paywall
- Comment on Crunchyroll just Committed a Federal Crime. 5 months ago:
It will never cease to amaze me how people don’t understand the law. No opening that mail was not a federal crime, if it’s addressed to the business building than it is considered property of the business even if it has a specific person’s name on it. They are fully within their right to open the letter, is it a dick move and are they assholes? Yes, is it a federal crime? Absolutely not
- Comment on "Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill" Season 2 IN PRODUCTION! 5 months ago:
Because they are fun, and comfy. And right now in a world where people are basically giving the entirety of their lives to work just to keep afloat that’s kind of what’s wanted. I have shows that have deeper story and are more engaging but I often find myself not watching them because I just don’t have the mental capacity available after work and I find myself wanting something like this that is simple no Stakes just kind of cute and funny that I don’t have to really put a lot of myself into.
And I’m far from the only one in that situation so these shows are popular and are the ones getting multiple seasons it helps that creating them isn’t particularly hard either

Just stay on your current phone till it’s dead. And even if you switch to Android avoid Samsung it’s a bloated disaster. Use oneplus or import a sony phone if you want headphone jack microsd slot and hardware fingerprint reader

I mean there’s already several references in several of the games to Pokemon being married with humans and other little “jokes” this isn’t that big a leap of logic
- Comment on Nintendo Targets YouTube Accounts Showing Emulated Games 5 months ago:
What’s the point of that? Nintendo isn’t getting any money from that sale so from their perspective it’s literally no different from emulation.
If there is no legitimate means for you to purchase an original product from the company and give them your money then why the hell do they care if you’re emulating something they weren’t going to get money either way

Pretty sure it’s just supposed to be one of those how is it already this late in the year type things
