I don't see how I was toxic in any way. Besides, this isn't reddit. There is no karma, so if people downvote you, who cares? That just means that people think you're wrong.

Here's a thought, let's say you're perfectly satisfied with how your content delivery/algorithm. You're a responsible adult who can manage your screen time. Should TikTok be doing more to protect youth(those most vulnerable) from predatory content? There's been quite a few studies now and even states suing TikTok for their effects on youth's mental health.

You're making a few assumptions about me(implying I'm living under a rock or something)... Unfortunately I spend a large part of my day on the computer due to work and I grew up with the internet. So I try to spend what free time I have reading/studying, and maybe consume a bit of streaming in a day.

If you knew the horrible content that most kids are being served now, it would make your head roll. I don't let my kid watch YouTube but his cousins are all crazed on tiktok content. Look up skibidi toilet.

That's usually true at first, showing users content they like is gratifying to the user, but satisfied users don't stay on the app. So for example, I like motorcycles, humor, tech, dog content, and poker. Tik Tok could show me relevant videos and I'd maybe browse for a few minutes and then go do something else. But the algorithm kind of slows down the dopamine hits/relevant videos and starts inserting more content that is depressing/irrelevant... The algorithm uses the same logic that makes gambling so addictive, they'll make you feel like the dopamine hit is just around the corner, except it takes a bit longer to get there every time. "One more hand" ...>

Facebook was at its worst in 2014-2018 or so. The algorithm became incredibly rage-inducing and pervasive. Facebook would intentionally show you content that you dislike(like right-wing bullshit) and if the more you interacted with it(especially if it was dislike) facebook would show you more and more of that. I was getting bombarded by extremism ideologies on Facebook and at the time I didn't understand that this was the algorithm.

The Internet is no longer just "likes cat video, give more cat videos", and pushing that notion is uneducated. Tik Tok is the worst of all the apps by far, but all of the social media companies use sophisticated algorithms that intentionally fuck with you just to get you addicted to their apps.

I think more people need to be informed on how these algorithms work and why they are so dangerous, especially to kids. Speaking of kids, there's a lot of content on TikTok which sexualizes underage teens. Also, I would block literally every thirst trap on TikTok that showed up in my feed, because that is simply the last thing I want to see on TikTok, yet the algorithm is so aggressive, it will continue to push content that you dislike so you are unsatisfied for longer.

I've deleted Tik Tok a few times in the past but I haven't used it in about 2 years or so. Imagine how little the average person in this country knows about these algorithms.

Almost everyone I know that went into the military did it for the experience and to be able to go to college. That was when people believed a college degree would set you up for a stable future. Now that millennials know this isn't true and we're not lying to gen Z, they sure as shit don't believe it either.

The military should add to its incentives. If the military could for example, build you a modest home then I'm sure people would start joining again.

Born 1929 in Sanok, Poland and died in 2005 in Warsaw, Poland. I can only imagine the shit this man saw in his life.

I don't get a chance to compliment people that often, but I do try to genuinely listen to people.

I'll be honest, not sure what it was about that day, but I thought the comment said 7 years, not 2. So my apologies on that. But apparently there's enough recent dribble to that even if it was 7 years it wouldn't matter. Thankfully, the nature of open source projects is that we can fork and continue onwards if this ever causes issues.

Honestly asking here, can't they just appeal the conviction to the supreme court and get it thrown out? The supreme court has been abusing it's power for a while now, thanks to the stacked GOP judges

Thanks, just downloaded it.

What programming language? You might have to back to basics. I know what you mean though. That was my frustration as well. The basics aren't covered well enough on many courses, and learning in a browser IDE adds anxiety when following tutorials if you don't know how to set up your environment.

If it's with Python, maybe I can help. Getting your environment set up is the most important part. I like to use pycharm, it forces you into virtual environments but that's a good practice to follow and gives you plenty of practice with the basics since you'll have to install your dependencies for every project.

Sometimes the dependencies change, and it's nice to know what version you previously used vs how the new package version works.

I think that's kind of the point. She was an Internet darling for a long time, she had the appeal of the moderately good looking girl next door and in her interviews she was very likeable.Then she made a bunch of bad movies and started saying dumb things, like that she was the first female lead in an action movie and leaning into politics, which IMO is always a bad idea for an entertainer. After that, the shine was off the apple.

As far as I know, the only thing that the new python integration helps with is that users don't have to install Python or have to know how to use pip to install packages like pandas, because Python doesn't run locally. It is neat how you can visualize data and show it inline with the Excel document though. My industry is very regulated, so we won't be able to use it since the data you pass to Python goes to Azure for processing
