Fr fr, gather everyone just to say “shave yur head” lol, what a clowns

There is nothing wrong with insulting authoritarian shitholes without civil rights.

I mean from engineering perspective batteries in the board part do get damaged when you damage the board by hitting the floor, and they have increased chances to catch fire when your charge them. And when they do, they fucking destroy everything around. You can’t really stop it either.

Key point: when you charge them. There is no reason to assume that would happen in tram or something.

Well I mean Ireland doesn’t arrest electric scooters but you can’t bring them into transport because, ahem, batteries can explode.

They actually the same size, it’s just latin alphabet is stupid and doesn’t have a letter for sound SH.

Can’t do that because hours are gods.

Bike/Electric scooter + public transport is a peak mobility, but public transport isn’t even built for that :(

IMO we should release Android from the Google grasp instead of doing something from the scratch entirely. Good part of it is opensource already.

Need to write the missing bits, and most importantly, do the competitive hardware that is not locked into proprietary ecosystem.

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.

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.

Fuck Ben & Jerry. They were bankrolling campaign against supply of military equipment to Ukraine.

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

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.

Is it really a thing? I don’t mean defederation, do threadiverse instances use custom algorithms to provide content to users custom-tailored to them?

Idk about the elections, but as a Ukrainian I’ve seen the stark difference in about a half a year since he bought twitter.

He manually switched off visibility for NAFO. Like as if they became shadowbanned, invisible to the “for you” feed.

He made it so big Ukrainian accounts are mostly visible to Ukrainians only. This was enough not to make them leave the platform but silenced their voices to the outside world.

It’s quite obvious we were just the testing grounds, USA elections were the real deal.

Good riddance.

What does it have to do with lisp?

Sure it’s not like it has no uses, but it’s something languages have built-in as syntax sugar or operators, and you rarely need to built your own macro for anything.

The most interesting part about Lisp is homoiconicity:

(+ 1 1 2) is literally a list with symbol “+” and 3 numbers.

Which allows to build the most powerful macro possible, manipulating code (with data as a tree-like structures) and changing it into whatever else at compile time.

Now if only there was any good use for macros, this would be the best language 🙃
