  • Parks? Gross. I like parking lots.

  • The most generous assumption is that they use statistics to determine correlations like this (e.g., deleted selfies resulted in a high CTR for beauty ads so they made that a part of their algo). The least generous interpretation is exactly what you're thinking: an asshole came up with it because it's logical and effective.

    Either way, ethics needs to be a bigger part of the programmers education. And we, as a society, need to make algorithms more transparent (at least social media algorithms). Reddit's trending algorithm used to be open source during the good ole days.

  • I love this band. I have a whole playlist called "Fadies" (fake 80's) with stuff like this and: Mr Kitty - After Dark, Timecop1983, FM-84, Nightstop, Gunship, and admittedly a few songs from the movie Drive.

    The Midnight has so many good songs though.

  • Shittiest week in a long time. I am super sick. I had an argument with a coworker about how to clear up some stuff. He told me I had to go drive to an office; I called the office and they told me they can't do anything for me. But he insisted. So I went. On my way I got a speeding ticket (my first ever ticket). When I got to the office they told me "you shouldn't be here, you need to go do blah blah blah". Just like I said to my coworker. He was annoyed at me for not arguing with them even though I was just following instructions.

    Then my mother-in-law had a mini-stroke (a couple of days ago). So that sucks for a variety of reasons. Luckily she's doing quite well. Only a bit of confusion and aphasia.

    Overall, it's just been a brutal week. I know it'll get better though. When it rains...

  • Cool! Installing Arch was surprisingly easy. Just a few minor issues. Plus I have a MacBook Pro with the touch bar (not my choice) and I am struggling to get that working with the recommended packages but beyond that it's not too bad.

    I installed Arch Linux on my Macbook Pro, but then I installed KDE Plasma with the default packages. Did I do it wrong?

  • Kung Pao Enter the Fist. Warning: you must be immature and somewhat comfortable with jokes that might not have aged well. I haven't watched it since I was a teen, but I remember thinking it was hilarious back then...

    Maybe just stick with Space Balls and The Room.

    My pets don't care if I'm trans

  • Also you need a home which means you can't travel if you're homeless. I know that's probably a small subset of air travel, but it's still so scary to think not having a home means you can't get a RealID which means you lose access to a mode of travel.

    It's such a horrible concept in general.

  • Fuck that person. They possibly didn't realize you brought your own milkshake to the yard. Damn right. It's better than theirs.

  • Ah that's fair. I do follow some trans game developers but their stuff is streamed/closed-ish source. Good point about the script kiddy threats.

  • AskTransgender @lemmy.blahaj.zone

    Is there a place to contribute, use, and discover trans developed software?
