just another dev

Me neither. Recommendation engines already were a closed box that were being gamed to influence people’s opinions. This just removes one attack vector from it, and, as I understand it, it’s optional as well. It would be even better if there’d be more genres to block imho.

According to that link, his salary was “only” half a million. Or does he get 193 million in stock each year?

Thanks!

You posted this to a LW community, so your content and data will end up in Meta’s hands as well.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but my understanding is that since LW will federate with them, any content they host, will end up on meta.

For example, this discussion we’re having right now is on !technology@lemmy.world. So it doesn’t matter whether our own instances have defederated meta - our posts and comments here will bring them value. Directly, in the form of content. And indirectly, in the form of processable data for machine learning, shadow profiles, etc.

Quite simple, aniki. The feeds were ordered by hot, new, or top.

New was ORDER BY date DESC. Top was ORDER BY upvotes DESC. And hot was a slightly more complicated order that used a mixture of upvotes and time.

You can easily verify this by opening 2 different browsers in incognito mode and go to the old reddit frontpage - I get the same results in either. Again - I can’t account for the new reddit site because I never used it for more than a few minutes, but that’s definitely how they old one worked and still seems to.

While this is true for Facebook and YouTube - last time I checked, reddit doesn’t personalise feeds in that way. It was my impression that if two people subscribe to the same subreddits, they will see the exact same posts, based on time and upvotes.

Then again, I only ever used third party apps and old.reddit.com, so that might have changed since then.

Yups. Lemmy.world is the biggest instance that hasn’t pre-emptively defederated from Threads. That’s problematic, because it’s also the biggest content provider for Lemmy. Ruud & Co are really dropping the ball here.

Thanks, couldn’t have done it without you ;)

Glad to have amused you then. Hope you won’t take it too seriously, I certainly won’t.

Me: ip law is complicated.

You: you’re wrong, it’s used for (even more things).

Piracy is piracy.

But the only one that owns Minecraft is Microsoft, since they bought it for over 2 billion dollars. Everyone else just bought a license to use it. Just like in all the other cases of buying music, video, or software. Unless lots of lawyers were involved, you only bought permission to use it, in a certain way at that. Pretending otherwise or not knowing in the first place has never been a legal excuse.
