This may well turn out to be an extremely important article for adoption of the beyond its current niches.

@liaizon As adoption of the Fediverse hopefully grows from the current niche of a couple of million or so technology enthusiasts into the next phase, the language will and must change. It will change again if/when the Fediverse makes it across the chasm into the mainstream.
So IMHO it's all good.

@J12t oh yes I agree the language must and will change. though I don't personally think this is the direction for it to change in

Nothing is as practical as a good theory.

I don't know who said it first, but they were right.

Imagine two identical with mainstream users. Same number of users, same connectedness of the social graph, same demographics etc.

Social network A only has an algorithmic feed. Social network B only has a chronological people-I-follow feed.

What would the usage numbers look like in comparison? Numbers of posts, numbers of likes/replies/boosts, growth trajectory, etc?

I would expect somebody has done some research on this. Anybody know of any public results?

@J12t Seems like this question is largely analogous to "would you like salad, or would you like a burger and fries?" We all say we'd like a healthy meal, but not enough of us actually order it to make it a viable option when we're road tripping.

What an amazing opportunity to do the opposite of the shiny new thing called “AI”.

Let’s go.

Fascinating results in this global survey on democracy and related subjects.

One tidbit: everybody says that fighting climate change is important, but wants others to do that not their own government.

Two thirds of Google searches already do not send the user to another website. That was in 2020 and it might have gotten worse since. I did not know that.

New espresso machine. Now work should go twice as fast, right?

Oh ChatGPT, how confidently you print out an algorithm that cannot possibly be correct!

I'm feeling like going to a doctor who skipped some classes in school and when encountering a patient with a condition they didn't learn about, they just make up some remedy. With extreme confidence in their demeanor.

Come to think of it, I have known some doctors to do that. So maybe ChatGPT is more human than we think.... ouch!

@J12t no shit, Sherlock? It took this time for him to get it?

@LaurentB45 It takes some courage to say that. The impact on the stock price may well be billions.

The ex-Bavarians among us got Weisswurst for -- shall we call it brunch? -- today. In California. And it's actually not bad.

The Americans in the family also love it. So there is still hope for them.

Sadly, no fresh Brez'n from Esther's. We made do with German Farmer's bread, which surprisingly, the local grocery store sells from a bakery in Santa Cruz. And Weisswurstsenf, which Dittmer's sells.

Wow! “… purchasing power … would already be 37% higher than it is now without global heating seen over the past 50 years”
The best is still to come /s
