The algorithm isn’t about what you’ll want to see. It’s about getting you to what the advertisers pay them to put in front of you.

By “trusted partners” they of course mean “sketchy data brokers that pay us to steal from you”.

I see the poorly implemented Markov chain bots have arrived to spam Universe with nonsense.
Yay….

Branding, mostly. It’s the same operation (pull and merge), different platforms just label it differently.

Kinda niche even for Bitcoiners atm. Not seeing the roiling debates that have always been the hallmark of the space.

Not “unfortunately”. Censorship is censorship and it’s all bad. If you’re not seeing perspectives you haven’t considered before (including ones you ultimately disagree with) then you aren’t participating in humanity.

Truth. There’s also a limit to how far back the Universe feed scrolls (at least in Damus - still new to nostr), so if no one re-shares as your post goes by, or searches for a relevant hashtag, it may as well be gone forever.

Not sure if it’s nostr or just my client, but “hitting bottom” shouldn’t be a thing.

Easy enough to understand: they just want control. Over everyone and everything.

That’s just elections in general. Talking about issues is risky (might accidentally have a position for voters to judge by) so they just don’t do it.

Still going at 8 and 11, both around 80lbs. I’ll keep welcoming it until they move out or my bones start breaking.
Take every snuggle you can get, for as long as you can get them, and memorize every second of it. There will be a last time, sooner than you’re ready for.

They’re never going to understand what that is. Better to just call them idiots.

Looks like the Grand Canyon to me. We have many beautiful canyons but that one is pretty distinct.

I haven’t seen it in advertising, but I have seen eye tracking to ensure that attention is being paid to the right things. I’m sure it’s just a matter of time.
Personally I’ll go to any lengths to avoid ads, up to and including just not consuming content. If I can’t block or ignore the ad, then the platform has no value to me.

Funny and true. Mine watched the Tuttle Twins episode about Bitcoin and it kicked off over an hour of discussion about how cryptocurrencies work. A second and fifth grader had better questions about it than most adults I’ve spoken with.

Small lizards. I find anole nests all the time just like that. No need to panic, they’re just looking to eat all the annoying insects.

Ignore the hype and just enjoy the platform. Zap when you want to share or find particular value. Otherwise just have fun, whatever that means to you.
It’s a beautiful place because you, and only you, decide how and why you participate.

Some of us still remember that open source is a labor of love, and the “payment” is the joy of seeing our projects used and enjoyed.

Being neighborly and kind is a choice you make for yourself. Socialism is forced upon you by the authoritarian state.

Reddit was like this in the beginning too, I was there. Be patient, Reddit will inevitably drive people away, and many will find their way here.

Holy cow that’s way too close. ATC gonna be answering some serious questions after that.

I remember when OP_RETURN was dead space only useful for color coins.
Those were fun days, I miss contributing to those projects.

Every time I start thinking “maybe I should think about working out”, one of my kids runs in with “Daddy throw me in the air then catch me then swing me around for 10 minutes then chase me around the yard for an hour” and I decide to just enjoy the moments and save the money.

The fight for freedom will never be fair. Those that want power never intend to use it fairly, so why would anyone expect them to fight fairly to gain it?

Fun fact: the founders never debated whether the people should be armed. It was simply understood that an armed populace was the best defense of a free people. Records of the continental Congress show no debate on the matter, and what became the second amendment was hardly discussed beyond a few changes to phrasing.
They did, however, debate very publicly and passionately whether the federal government should be allowed to have an army at all.

US promised to lift embargos if Maduro held a free and fair election.
But that’s not a thing in a socialist dictatorship.

Their government decided that the people’s vote didn’t matter as much as their tyrants desire to stay in power.

If you’re looking to take it in a different direction, no. Fork away. If you’re trying to add a feature that might benefit the existing repo, reach out and see if a PR might be a better path.
