Not with their onboarding.

(Also, familiarity is a kind of UX lubricant, all on its own)

When you sort your feed by hot vs top vs new, that's already what you're doing kinda.

But the platform has to have the data to support the algorithm, so you can't just "load in" whatever algorithm you want. Besides, that sounds like a security nightmare for the platform lol

Did someone call for me???

Fwiw Tiktok apparently just open sourced their algorithm a week or so ago.

I wonder if loops will provide it as an option

Ok boomer

A lot of people are going to rednote as a show of protest:

• these people have had their data mined since they were babies, they've been taught by the market since birth that their data isn't something they should value
• then they're told that it's bad that these other people can access their data, with no explanation as to why it's any different
• while at the same time being told that it's totally fine for the folks who are already mining your data to sell it to the people who shouldn't have your data

So they're basically saying "you're lying, and your explanation contradicts your previous behavior, so I'm gonna do the exact opposite of what you want"
Again because they don't actually care about their data

I have no idea why why any woman would want to get pregnant. It looks like an absolute terrible experience all around, and that's not even accounting for the safety risks and the long term health reprocustions.

I have a kid. My wife wanted one but I didn't, and I agreed because I didn't want to lose her.

I love my kid, but to call it a huge lifestyle change is a monumental understatement. I'm happy with my life, but it could have gone the other way, and that wouldn't have been fair to anyone. There are certainly a lot of things I miss from before, but I couldn't go back now.

Don't let anyone else convince you to have a kid, and don't let anyone, including yourself, convince your spouse. This really needs to be something you want for yourself, or there is a good chance you'll end up miserable and your child will grow up in a broken home.

If you can't make to your mind before your age make it too risky for your comfort, then just understand that you have made a decision, and you'll need to come to terms with that, should it come to pass.

I mean... That was exactly the right thing to do.
Respond as fast as possible as clearly as possible.

But looking back on it, it is pretty fucking funny to read.

You haven't explained anything other than you think people are disingenuous with their real beliefs, which is not useful for talking about what things mean. This seems to be nearly the entirety of your stance.

You ever so briefly touched on how you think authoritarianism is inherently anti-worker with absolutely no nuance whatsoever

You made no coherent argument about why to change the common definition of "left".

Distinction between theoretical and practical still has value. You can talk about where a political philosophy falls on a compass AND you can talk about how an individual differs from the philosophy they claim to espouse.

I'm not really curious to hear more about your point because you've repeatedly demonstrated that your point isnt actually coherent or useful for everyday (or even academic) discourse.

So this sounds more like a semantic/linguistic debate more than a philosophical one. You simply use an uncommon definition of "the left".

Calling something "the left" only has meaning when people agree on what that means. If you disagree that something is "left" but you are using a different definition of "the left" then we haven't actually communicated anything.

You say that the political compass rehabilitates certain ideologies, presumably by calling them "left" and therefore "good" or at least assigning them certain attributes that people may want, but I believe the opposite; using the single left/right axis is worse because then you're either lumping together a whole bunch of ideologies, or everyone is using their own bespoke definition of left/right which makes communication impossible.
The more axis you have, the more descriptive you can be about the relative beliefs of your ideology... But the harder it is to draw.

I don't know that I disagree with your ideology, but I disagree that left means "things I think are good" and everything else is "right", which is essentially what you're doing.

That still doesn't matter.

Sure people misrepresent (by accident or intention) what their actual political beliefs are.
But the single axis (or even two axis) political compass doesn't really capture the nuance and especially the authoritarian aspect.

I get the feeling that by your measure, nearly everything but collectivist anarchy would be "right wing" by virtue of some axis. At which point I don't think it's a useful way to frame things.
