  • Tiktok exposes me to all kinds of viewpoints I'd never have even thought to search for.Lemmy is a circle jerk by comparison.

    When you say "build your own algorithm" what you really mean is "decide who is allowed in my echo chamber, and what is the sort order of the content from those people". You can do that on Tiktok too, it's called the "following" feed, smh.

    But elitist Lemmy neckbeards are never willing to hear that they're not actually special

  • Not with their onboarding.

    (Also, familiarity is a kind of UX lubricant, all on its own)

  • When you sort your feed by hot vs top vs new, that's already what you're doing kinda.

    But the platform has to have the data to support the algorithm, so you can't just "load in" whatever algorithm you want. Besides, that sounds like a security nightmare for the platform lol

  • Fwiw Tiktok apparently just open sourced their algorithm a week or so ago.

    I wonder if loops will provide it as an option

  • A lot of people are going to rednote as a show of protest:

    • these people have had their data mined since they were babies, they've been taught by the market since birth that their data isn't something they should value
    • then they're told that it's bad that these other people can access their data, with no explanation as to why it's any different
    • while at the same time being told that it's totally fine for the folks who are already mining your data to sell it to the people who shouldn't have your data

    So they're basically saying "you're lying, and your explanation contradicts your previous behavior, so I'm gonna do the exact opposite of what you want"Again because they don't actually care about their data

  • Do you have kids? Do you want to have kids? Did you regret having / not having kids?

  • I have no idea why why any woman would want to get pregnant. It looks like an absolute terrible experience all around, and that's not even accounting for the safety risks and the long term health reprocustions.

  • I have a kid. My wife wanted one but I didn't, and I agreed because I didn't want to lose her.

    I love my kid, but to call it a huge lifestyle change is a monumental understatement. I'm happy with my life, but it could have gone the other way, and that wouldn't have been fair to anyone. There are certainly a lot of things I miss from before, but I couldn't go back now.

    Don't let anyone else convince you to have a kid, and don't let anyone, including yourself, convince your spouse. This really needs to be something you want for yourself, or there is a good chance you'll end up miserable and your child will grow up in a broken home.

    If you can't make to your mind before your age make it too risky for your comfort, then just understand that you have made a decision, and you'll need to come to terms with that, should it come to pass.

  • I mean... That was exactly the right thing to do.Respond as fast as possible as clearly as possible.

    But looking back on it, it is pretty fucking funny to read.

  • I'm skeptical of that claim, but it's not really important.

    To say that any communist that supports violence as a means is a tankie is to say all communists are tankies.But given that violence alone doesn't make a revolution bad, and that tankie is a perjorative, then that definition isn't fair or even really meaningful.

  • I know, but I didn't wanna pollute my comment with a bunch of pedantry, despite my name. Also people living in apartments often don't have access to heat pumps.

  • Look into geothermal heat pumps. During the summer they pump heat from your house underground, and during the winter they pump it back in.

    But the energy doesn't really stay there. The thermal mass and temperature of the ground just means that you can always efficiently take heat from it or effectively dump heat into it. Always predictably the same efficiency.If the heat was actually stored, the start of summer and winner the pump would be super efficient, but by the end it'd be inefficient working hard to move the heat. So it seems kinda wasteful that the energy isn't being stored, but it's actually kinda better that it isn't.

  • If only there was a way to verify their claim so you weren't forced to take their word for it.

    Look, maybe you're right. But this was one of the lamest responses to someone bringing receipts that I've ever seen.

  • I don't think it has grown to include that (or I don't think it should have grown, if it actually has and I didn't notice).

    Any revolution will require violent means. That doesn't inherently make it bad, just sad. It depends who is the target of the violence.There aren't many Americans who condemn the American revolution for it's violence against the British, for example.
