What is the goal? Is it to drive more comment engagement? To ensure that posts with comments outrank those without, if vote metrics are comparable? (Look at me, gathering requirements like a little business analyst, aww)
If so then I would say incorporating some sort of comment metrics (even simply comment count from unique users) seems like a good way to achieve the goal.
I admit I get a bit disappointed seeing posts with no comments. Sometimes the post is cool and I'm glad I saw it. But most of the time I don't have anything to comment on, either. I am kinda here for the conversation more than anything.
Exactly what algorithm would work best requires some trial and error I suppose. And I guess we would have to refine what behavior we want. Would it be better to have a few posts with boat tons of comments, or many posts with a small number of comments? I vote for the latter. In which case one could maybe boost posts with some middle range of comments, suppress those with either "too many" or "too few".
Not op. I installed windows 10 on my custom built desktop and my kids custom built desktop, on VM, etc. Have not had a problem and it was pretty simple overall. I'm sure some folks do have issues, though. Shit happens. Is windows 11 shittier for install? I've never had the desire to try :)
I've also installed various Linux distros on the above and a few other computers (Mint, Nobara, Fedora). Aside from Mint not working with my AMD RX 6600, no problems there either, really. And these distros installed easily.
Again, ymmv. I knew Mint would probably fail because the 5.19 kernel does not seem to like my GPU. That's why I switched to Nobara in the first place (iirc the 6.x kernel wasn't available at the time)
I remember doing a similar upgrade on our Mac Plus way back when. Really that Mac and it's software was fantastic. Got me through a good chunk of college writing assignments.
That's a terrible thing to go through. It's not universal. Because I also speak from experience. I got diagnosed at 40. I suffered for years thanks to underdiagnosis. Socially. In school. At work. You name it. The psychologist didn't push diddly shit on me. I didn't want meds right away I wanted better coping skills. I got them. Got the meds after a year. Turned my career around, got a lot of my shit together.
None of that denies your experience. What happened to you can happen to others. But so can what happened to me and I is more likely.
Caution people all you want. That's helpful. Blanket statements with no supporting anecdote or date aren't. And I will call it out every time I see it.
Not sure what to make of this chart except that a few items are misplaced imo and I agree conspiracy shit is an alt right pipeline in most cases. Maybe it wasn't always but whatever.
Anyhow.
I haven't followed up on the news. But there sure wasn't much available yesterday. So as far as actual reliable evidence we the public have little.
The guy being dead with an apparent self inflicted wound (as BBC and others said) or gunshot (as Corp Crime Reporter said) during whistleblower court proceedings against a giant company is consistent with suicide from:
Stress of the case or from blackmail
Stress from something totally unrelated.
Some other cause (depression, terminal illness...)
It is also consistent with:
murder made to look like suicide to silence his further testimony and dissuade others
Any of these is certainly plausible at least. As is Epstein being murdered. Actually, that one is more plausible, given the few suspicious coincidences and the sheer number of people who wanted his secrets to stay that way. Whereas extra-terrestrial UFOs aren't all that plausible based on our current body of scientific knowledge.
Published since 1986, the Corporate Crime Reporter is a legal newsletter that highlights recent news items about ongoing corporate crime prosecutions, along with featuring interviews with prominent attorneys who work in this rather intriguing field of law practice. The interview section is quite interesting as ...

Idk I'm just brainstorming here
