I think about it along this analogy:

You ring up your artist friend and would really like to see this specific thing drawn. Your friend gets inspired and is happy to oblige completely for free as they make art for fun. You give them specifications, they send you progress pictures and you tell them how to tweak those WIP pictures until you get the piece you envisioned, drawn by this artist friend of yours.

Now, who owns the work? The artist, right? You don't get to claim ownership just because your instructions got that piece done.

Saw this screenshot on Mastodon. They won't tell how they're going to track it exactly but it sounds like some weird estimation work.

He's still mad at those researchers for scraping the data that shows that ever since he took over, the antisemitism, racism and general bigotry has gone up on the platform.

I can't view my achievements so I don't know. I assume no because there's no overlay. I actually forgot GOG even had achievements. I just don't care about them that much usually.

Steam achievements work normally, of course.

You don't need GOG Galaxy. I play my GOG games through Heroic Games Launcher on my Artix Linux system.

Path of Exile is rated Gold on ProtonDB and according to reports works out of the box through Steam Proton.

Asking others and even yourself "why?" when it comes to views is a really good thing to practise, I agree. And don't leave it to just one layer. Ask "why?" after every single explanation and see how deep you or whoever you're asking can get. It's one thing to have a view and a whole another thing to know how you got to that view.

I've gotten out of harmful views by using this technique and realising that the only reason I held some views was because "others told me so", which caused me to look into things more.

Of course this won't work with really stubborn people but it's a good start to make at least some people think.

Oh look. It's Jim Pickens.

ウーパールーパー (ūpārūpā), comes from the English wooper looper. c:

Personal tl;dr:

• Affects only large platforms for now
• Selling illegal goods is not allowed and there must be a way to report that content
• Ad targeting based on sexuality, religion, ethnicity or political beliefs is not allowed
• Targeting ads on children is restricted
• Transparency on how recommendation algorithms work
• Option to opt out of recommendation algorithms
• Requirements for data sharing with researchers and authorities
• Cooperation with crisis response requirements
• Requirement for external and independent auditing

Which is why I am happy to have email aliases. Alias gets leaked? No problem. I'll just delete that one and make a new one for that service. Scammers and spammers have a useless email address and I still have my clean inbox.

Now we just need companies to have their own militaries and then for someone to nuke one of their towers. We'd have the whole nine yards.

Should we tell them that there's no karma on Lemmy? :D

I think the algorithm for Lemmy's hot sorting is just based on interactions within time unit. The newer the post, the more valuable an upvote is.

Meme creator: "Eh. Close enough."

People on the platform can generate invites at some intervals and send them to friends. That's my understanding, while I don't know for certain as I personally am avoiding the platform due to not trusting Dorsey at the helm. But I'm still keeping an eye on it with popcorn ready.

But do you often spit on people?

Or in the case of some languages:

"Oh. I forgot a return statement."

Follow a lot of people to fill up your feed. Be generous with it, and if someone you followed continuously posts something you're not interested in, you can just unfollow, or put up a filter so those posts from that person do not show up.

There's also a feature to follow hashtags so they appear in your home feed, so just search hashtags of things you find interesting. That's a good way to find new people to follow as well! Advanced web view also allows you to make feeds for specific hashtags or hashtag combinations for even more control.

And if you happen to find an instance catered to your specific interests, you can make an account there, and you can even migrate an existing account so your followers come with. Chances are the local feed will be filled up with content you enjoy on such an instance.

And if you want to help your followers discover similar people, be sure to boost content you enjoy.

On Mastodon, you are in control of your feeds. Even on the federated timeline, to an extent (as filters work there as well).

It's not the government's job to parent someone's children... Parents should take the time to learn about how computers and the internet work at a sufficient level so they can both teach their children how to act and what to expect on the internet, and to control what their child sees on the internet. The former is a backup in case the latter does not work.
