Instructions unclear. Now have salmonella.

Hell yes, get rid of anything that's an algorithm.

If you can't run out of content on the platform you're on, it's a bad thing.

Use youtube clients that follow users

Browse text platforms that let you follow communities.

TT, IG, /all, and shorts are where your brain goes to die.

Everything that's on your phone has an algorithm. It's like saying I don't eat things with chemicals in it.

[–] schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 hour ago

Technically correct, but I think you know what the above user meant.

[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Group chats with Friends? Games? Ebooks? There might be algorithms associated with those somewhere, but you'd have to go digging for them.

[–] tja@sh.itjust.works 0 points 59 minutes ago

Chats: an algorithm decides the order of the messages shown Games: a lot of algorithms everywhere. Ebooks: eg algorithms are used to decode the drm of you are using a Kindle.

You don't need to dig very deep.

Great, now instead of just being bored, I get to manage three servers and two dozen public-facing services that I have to maintain for a growing number of users, along with the physical servers themselves, as any cog in this machine may break and burst into flames like a house of cards... and still be bored with the added stress.

Yaaaaay, hobbies...

[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 8 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Ever thought about shitcanning all of that and just folding some paper cranes?

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 6 points 2 hours ago

I'm in too deep. Save yourself!

[–] xxce2AAb@feddit.dk 20 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

You may have chosen the wrong one.

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 14 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

This hobby would be significantly better if it came with a six-figure salary

[–] xxce2AAb@feddit.dk 17 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's called a "job".

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 hours ago

i wish we had those in good quality still

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago

You'd think yeah :P

[–] BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

If the cogs didn't break occasionally, I feel like it wouldn't be a very good hobby.

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Yeah, though anxiety and self-perfection make every task dreadful and stressful when anyone else is impacted; doesn't matter if it's the family vaultwarden instance or a game server needing an update to become available again, all of it is AHHHHHHHH

Do Americans call minced meat "raw hamburger"?

[–] binarytobis@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

In the places I’ve lived “raw hamburger” is pretty rare. Ground beef and hamburger meat are common.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 28 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Or "ground beef" or "hamburger meat"

One thing we rarely if ever call it is "minced" or "mince."

To my American mind that suggests it's been cut into tiny pieces with a knife, not ground through a grinder.

Mincing is something you do to an onion, or in stiletto heels and a knee-trappingly-tight skirt.

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 16 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

this guy doesn’t mince words

Or mince around.

[–] crank0271@lemmy.world 14 points 5 hours ago

Largely yes. Sometimes "ground meat."

[–] lath@lemmy.world 14 points 4 hours ago

Try eating your keeper.

[–] nialv7@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (1 children)

No, the tiger does not need "enrichment", it needs to be set free. Do not accept being caged as the normal and don't be gaslit into thinking the toys you get is "enrichment".

Reject the premise altogether.

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 11 points 3 hours ago

"I angrily reject this joke in a politically awakened manner."

This could be the type specimen of a Lemmy comment

[–] null@lemmy.org 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Take a break from social media.

[–] thethrilloftime69@feddit.online 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Does Lemmy count as social media?

[–] schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 hour ago

I think so, yes.

I have been posting things on websites that allow the general public to participate since my childhood, that is, for more than 20 years. At the time I was familiar with "forums", slightly later also "wikis" and "blogs"… I have no idea why or even when exactly the world started to insist on that strange term "social media" to describe some poorly defined subset of such websites. 🤔

[–] Angryhumanoid@fedinsfw.app 3 points 5 hours ago

I have an app for that, I mostly just do the daily rewards now tho.
