I would not have guessed that reply guys replying to really popular accounts would ever check if their reply is a duplicate.

I didn’t catch that this is why Alec stopped posting there. I assumed he was just being sensitive to being a public figure in general.

When you make a channel that is filled with “well actually” and “turns out.” You should expect your audience is into doing the same.

And when you don’t have an algorithm filtering these for you… well, then you get the reality of other people’s interactions. Twitter just optionally hides this reality from big accounts. (I’m talking about what they use to label “low quality replies” or something similar.)

The federation issues of replies/boosts/hearts/etc are still a big bummer, though.

They want an algorithm.

As much as people mock it, or know it’s the source of why social media optimizes for outrage and other unhealthy behaviors, the algorithm is what they are missing on Mastodon.

As someone who always used third party Twitter apps, and never directly saw the algorithm in my timeline, mastodon feels like Twitter always did.

Spotify quietly limits Release Radar playlist to 30 tracks from 200, tries to convince users that's how it always was in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Damn. They need to revert this change. I don’t get why they would have made it.

I’m also sad that everynoise was halted. Spotify, man. Their recommendations are their only strength.

I don’t think mine was 200 either. Nor is/was discover weekly. And I have used both for years now for the purpose the post says, seeking new music for djing/playlists.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a bug that quietly inflated a certain percentage of playlists.

I think I’d like larger playlists for both playlists though!

I’ve been skeptical of how this would be adapted ever since it was announced. I assume there must have been something that didn’t translate well that needs a lot of work.

The Index controllers are never really out of the way for anything. And sliding them down your wrists is uncomfortable, awkward, not practical for all wrist sizes, etc.

I personally think the Index controllers are overhyped and terrible. They are awkward, didn’t live up to their promise for finger “tracking”, make your hands sweat, they are bulky, the straps are never quite the right tension, they had durability problems, etc etc.

I’m not sold on these, but I can see why others are. And why people in the club scene or who are performers would give them a shot.

I sure miss the original CV1 Touch controllers.

That sounds icky in the hand…

Seems like ColorWare style painting is a better option. (But much more expensive.)

That’s sad to see. The broadening of VR is a real struggle right now.
