A little bit of computing and a little bit of neuroscience.

That search/SEO is broken seems to be part of the game plan here.
It’s probably like Russia burning Moscow against Napoleon and a hell of a privilege Google enjoy with their monopoly.
I’ve seen people opt for chatGPT/AI precisely because it’s clean, simple and spam free, because it isn’t Google Search.
And as @caseynewton said … the web is now in managed decline.
For those of us who like it, it’s up to us to build what we need for ourselves. Big tech has moved on
Yea. Which touches on the issue of who determines the performance score of an employee and how transparent and inclusive it is.
Yea for sure. I’m not enough of YouTuber to use an account and comment though.
Plus I get the feeling that the astrophysics community kinda bounced off of the fediverse. But definitely worth a try.
Ha. That’s not what’s going on here.
The suspicion here is more along the lines of whether tech people can be trusted to make good things especially when some special tech idea is at the core. What are the chances that tech people just really like the idea of decentralised federated social media and haven’t really thought through whether it works well at scale?
If they had, there’d be documented analysis of this rather than just advocacy.
It’s probably (very) naive of me, but I hadn’t quite thought that the whole thing is a grift against everyone.
Ads, data tracking, *and* tricking you into ignoring the economy/industry that actually matters in the name of “evolution” and “breaking things”.
Can’t help but see some (stretched) resonance with the #fediverse. Is this just some tech idea that needs to convince all of us that it’s the good new thing? What if at its core there’s something wrong and it fails us?
Worth watching or thinking about this recent related video (post of mine):

Great line in there from Tim about how everyone is now viewed as an Uber driver and how its hard to justify being paid more than one.
So so sorry to hear.
Otherwise, yea this doesn’t sound surprising. From my recent limited experience it seems like a system held together with duck tape.
Which is funny, because if the fear from govt is to prevent people from becoming professional “dole-bludgers”, making the system so hard to use that it requires special skills and experience is the wrong thing to do.
I’m sure there are all sorts of silly loop holes and bugs that plenty of people have learnt to exploit.

You should be able to, yes, just as I am here.
Copy the link to the lemmy post/comment, and search for it in the mastodon interface. It should get fetched and come up. Then you can just reply (and like) as you normally would.
Beyond that you can follow lemmy communities and users normally. Following communities might flood your timeline as comments as well as posts will go in there.

And to really get it you have to have been a vulnerable commuter (cyclist etc) in an encounter with a car where they’ve clearly just not seen you and will kill you if you’re not constantly on the look out for such things.
Despite being well informed about such things I was still shocked my “first time” as I watched a car just turn into me like I wasn’t there while the driver was looking elsewhere.
cars were already a problem. Weaponising them with tech hype is toxic.
