schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.deto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are some good algorithm free alternatives to YouTube?627·4 months agoThere aren’t any because all ways of displaying any data at all involve an “algorithm”. There are no “algorithm-free alternatives” to anything at all except not using computers at all.
Maybe think about what you’re actually trying to ask, then ask that question again.
schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.deto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's up with so many activitypub services having really cringe names?10·4 months agoI don’t think they’re any more cringe than most non-federated services.
schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.deto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Parody songs that play rent free in your head?3·4 months agoI found it (in the mid-2000s as a preteen) before I consciously learned about the original Bohemian Rhapsody, so every time I now hear the latter, my mind immediately goes “what happen, what happen, somebody set up us the bomb, somebody set up us the bomb”.
schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.deto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is there a map of how Singapore looks underneith?4·4 months agomaybe https://openlevelup.net/?l=0#11/1.3025/103.9049 to the extent that it is mapped in OSM?
Geographical aspects are incomparable between 1930 and 2025. Germany is a lot smaller in 2025 than in 1930 and German division hadn’t happened yet in 1930.
schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.deto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Which animal would you domesticate if you could pick one?11·4 months agoA bear walks into a bar and says “I’ll have a …....…...….….….….….. beer.” The bartender asks: “Why the big pause?” The bear responds: “I don’t know, I was born with them.”
(Pic in OP relevant. Even bear cubs have big paws.)
schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.deto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•what’s your favorite constructed language? any of you created your own?2·4 months agoAntau longa tempo (antau ol la fediverso ekzistis) mi estis tre aktiva en la forumo de lernu.net - nun mi demandas min, chu eble ghiaj administristoj pretus konekti tiun forumon al la fediverso? Eble iu, kiu legas tion chi, ankorau havas manieron kontakti ilin pri tiu ideo. Ghi certe estus bona por ilia forumo, por la fediverso, por Esperanto.
schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.deto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•what’s your favorite constructed language? any of you created your own?5·4 months agoChu vi konas aktivan Esperanto-komunumon en la fediverso? Mi abonas !esperanto@sopuli.xyz kaj !esperanto@lemm.ee kaj !esperanto@lemmy.world kaj apenau iam ajn iu afishas ion ajn en iu ajn el ili. :/
schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.deto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•does lemmy discriminate community against instances?17·5 months agoWhat is the stereotype about dbzero? Out of the loop on that.
schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.deto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is Lemmy community nice to new users?28·5 months agoI hardly ever check how old anyone’s account is. I try to be nice to everyone regardless of who they are, and discuss issues rather than posters.
schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.deto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Benefits of RSS? Where should I look for trustworthy feeds?4·5 months agoI used to read RSS feeds from Thunderbird a long time ago, but that required me to set them up again on every reinstallation and every device, so I eventually stopped doing that.
Nowadays I read RSS feeds on Mastodon. There’s a service https://rss-parrot.net/ that converts any RSS feed into a fediverse account, so you get RSS feed updates into your feed along with everything else you follow there. Of course it would be even better if blogs and news sites just posted directly on the fediverse, but not all of them do.
schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.deto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•people who know more than one language, are your settings in english or another language?5·5 months agoMost things are in German, but if something isn’t translated to German yet or I can’t be bothered to change it from English, it doesn’t bother me much to use it in English either.
schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.deto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you have any rules you try to follow when engaging with others online?4·5 months agoI only comment when I feel I am adding something to the conversation that nobody else has added. On many contentious topics, nearly everything that can be said has already been said by someone, so I usually don’t comment on them.
schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.deto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you have any rules you try to follow when engaging with others online?6·5 months agoI only downvote when something is blatantly factually false or posted in bad faith (i.e. obviously trolling and I can’t think of a good-faith reason why someone would post this).
If I merely disagree with something, I write an answer explaining why, or if there already is one that I agree with, I upvote that.
schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.deto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If the only mod on a Lemmy community is inactive is there any point in posting there? Or should I make a new commuinity?9·5 months agoSome people might still be subscribed to it, so you will reach an audience. I never check whether moderators are active before posting.
schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.deto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If the only mod on a Lemmy community is inactive is there any point in posting there? Or should I make a new commuinity?10·5 months agoMy understanding is instance admins can change moderators, so depends on the instance the community is hosted on.
schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.deto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If the only mod on a Lemmy community is inactive is there any point in posting there? Or should I make a new commuinity?5·5 months agoWhy would you not want to post there?
Yes. Here’s what it looks like for your example website on my end:
schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.deto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Go to wikihow and press on "random article". That is what you die doing. How do you die?6·5 months ago“How to Clean Leather Sandals”
I don’t own leather sandals and am not sure I know anyone who does, so that is very unlikely any time soon.
I suspect OP wanted to know about a video platform where they were not getting any automated recommendations that they hadn’t chosen to follow… my point is, chronological sorting is still an “algorithm”.
