Self-hosting your own recommendations would be amazing. I'm on the Testflight waitlist for Loops, hope I can get access soon.

Oh my god

Policy sentiments aside, wow that post is so up it's own ass. There was definitely a more concise way to communicate the change.

Aljazeera is a fine source as long as you're not looking at their news regarding Qatar/Qatari interests.

Huh?

Their counter argument would actually be, "Nah, get rid of the streetcars instead" and people would unironically agree. I wish I was kidding.

The hostility towards non-car/public transit infrastructure I am seeing in Toronto after coming home post-pandemic is insane to me. And, no, it's not coming from the Indian immigrants everyone keeps trying to blame everything on.

Oh, you didn't hear about what's happening to Toronto's bike lanes?

Thanks Doug 😀

Downtown Toronto too, please. This last year was the first time I have seen multiple emergency vehicles not being able to get to their destinations because of traffic gridlock. It's insane.

None of them have the algorithm that makes Tiktok's "For You Page" so attractive to most people. By far the best personalization algorithm of any social media I used during the pandemic. I basically never had to search for content or creators, the algo served me up a platter of people to follow that seemed directly tailored to me. That's why it's so addictive.

And that's probably why American social media giants are salivating at acquiring it. Reels/Twitter/YT Shorts algo doesn't even come close tbh.

Because I'm tired of the culture where we call things "grape", "corn" and "pewpews" and infantilize serious topics for the sake of being advertised to.

Come at me, "It's not that serious" brigade.

NOOOOO ARCANE IS NOW CLASSIFIED AS CHINESE MILITARY PROPAGANDA NOOOOOOOOO!!

Yes, it's this one, thank you! Youtube search really failed me.
