It is in fact an algorithm because it’s choosing what posts to put in front of you based on multiple criteria (time since it was posted, votes/number of comments/time since last comment). They are relatively transparent and well documented criteria, though.

However, it’s not a personalized feed based on your interests and unsolicited data collection, which is what people sometimes mean when they say “the algorithm.”

I think probably not, because the concentrations of salt and sugar aren’t just relative to each other but also relative to the water content. You can eat trail mix, cookies with added sodium, something like this, or a homemade version to replenish carbs + sodium after strenuous workouts, but you will still need to drink water as well.

Absolutely devastated. The shade. 💀

It’s also on a plate.

For anybody who was confused like me, this is a Nathan J Robinson parody account, not the actual Current Affairs owner.

The propaganda is people “like” their private insurance and don’t want to be “forced” to get rid of it. There is also an anti-tax streak that has existed since the 1700s (no taxation without representation, Boston tea party, etc) that lives on strongest in reactionary politics.

Edit: Oh and last time we tried to actually improve healthcare they scare mongered the public that there would be “government death panels” who decided whether you would get coverage. As opposed to the current reality where the death panels are real and run by private corporations.

I’ve had good luck with the For Dummies series but those are more like tutorial books and make sure it isn’t an out of date edition.

Edit: Also check out simple English wikipedia for short summaries that never use jargon unless it’s defined.

This was his first reaction, just as satisfying to read: https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2023/dear-red-hat-are-you-dumb

S tier phone, my only complaint is that the bootloader is locked down and downward facing speaker. Next phone I buy will be able to be de-googled.

The battery life is head and shoulders above 99% of the market, oled is a killer feature, so is 120 hz.

Watching flash videos and playing flash games on Newgrounds.

The way somebody is socialized and raised isn’t inextricably linked with their sex. Also, intersex people are routinely assigned a gender, although thankfully that’s changing.

This isn’t niche at all, but gbatemp is fantastic. Lots of emulation, modding, romhacking, general gaming discission, etc.

With the stroke of a pen any of these people could prevent tens of thousands of deaths from malaria or tuberculosis with zero change to their quality of life. That’s why their wealth is disgusting.

Their customers had infinite money to spend and they still didn’t build a top of the line submarine. Absolutely deserving of a Darwin Award.

Bandcamp is a godsend. You can even listen to entire albums legally before you buy!
