EU is a failed project if a single Orbanistan could block the important decisions for years, trading votes for more EU money to support his corrupt regime.

Weird is derivative of Wyrd. So yeah, it's a fate.

There is nothing pacifist with letting russians genocide Ukrainians freely. We already saw what happens when USA stops military aid, russia goes on offensive emboldened by such actions.

I'm 10+ year software engineer and I completely agree. Writing the text of the program is the most boring part, it being automated is great.

Huh, I'm using Voyager on Android, am I missing anything useful?

You need support from parliament members to run for presidency. That's political suicide.

I probably was in a wildly different circles. Most people I knew didn't want to start em due to size and pace. Single digits watched both.

You can sub to see. With algorithm, you'll see unsubbed content above subbed.

Algorithm isn't that. It's not just a block.

I don't think anyone here did create anything like that that isn't some simple formula that accounts for number of likes, date & number of comments, converts that to a single number and sort by that. Plus, there is a way to sort differently in many ways.

Algorithm will not completely prevent you from being in the feed. But your visibility drops thousandfold. Posts that previously would get thousands of likes get 20 views.

Same way they create popular political figures and newsfeeds out of nowhere. Just ramp visibility in the algorithm to the target groups.

Algorithm is a blackbox that is unpredictable to the end user by design. The idea is that algorithm learns what you like to read, what are you interacting with, so it feeds you the content to keep you engaged to the max. The parameters by which you see some post but not the other are not decided by some clear sorting rule. Each user would have lots of hidden values which impact the sort order.

While being generally useful (despite the hate, people love to be engaged with content they like to see), people also don't notice that they are being fed/denied some content because they are used to their feed being a black box.

Did you really need to compare it to animes with the slowest pace possible?
