I like the fact that I’m not being fed some corporate algorithm.

Bluesky's entire appeal for me is that you can choose (or even create) your recommendation algorithm. Not only it's an amazing idea, it also works really well

their algorithm is garbage

Can confirm. It's engagement bait at its worst

Si può usare Aurora store. Altrimenti su f-droid c'è un client che si chiama PixelDroid

Engy is a relaxing class only if you play on Capture the flag. The other modes are pretty stressful lol. But yeah, I usually also go for the Engy. Scout if I feel particularly adventurous, sometimes Sniper on 2Fort. Spy intrigues me but I'm just not able to use it, I'm a disaster.

An ad is something that a 3d party buys to appear on a platform. This is a recommendation by the platform itself, so I would not define it as an ad

Oh, definitely agree with you on that one. I was only defending the right of a platform to suggest content to its users, regardless of what that content is

Reddit shows you communities that you are not subscribed to in your subscription feed.

Yeah, like I said, not spam and not an ad. It's just an internal algorithmic recommendation

No, even if they wanted to, they have no expertise in UGC and they don't have the infrastructure to do any of that

Quello che i giornalisti non dicono (irpimedia.irpi.eu)
 

Sapevo che il giornalismo è messo male, ma mai avrei pensato a una cosa del genere. Un esempio dall'articolo (che è molto lungo ma che vale la pena leggere per capire tante cose):

"Un articolo per il Corriere della Sera online viene pagato 15 euro lordi, un articolo sul Giornale di Sicilia online cinque euro, un articolo per la Gazzetta dello Sport 14 euro, un lancio di agenzia di cinque righe per Italpress 1,50 euro."

Why don't people sleep in sleeping bags at home? (lemm.ee)
 

Yes, it looks like a dumb question, but hear me out.

I've recently discovered that, for babies, it's normal to sleep in sleeping bags. They can either look like this (not great, with the arms out) or... - prepare for what you're about to see - like this.

Now - how awesome must that feel? Naturally, my fist instinct was to look up sleeping bags like that for grownups. Unfortunately, they apparently do not exist. I can only find the usual sleeping bags that are used for camping etc., which are all made of that horrible, plasticky, noisy material.

So my question is twofold: do "home sleeping bags" for adults exist? And, if not, WHY?

What's your favorite tech podcast? (lemm.ee)

I'm a longtime This Week in Tech listener and I've realized that downloading the new episode every Monday morning has become a habit I could never imagine quitting.

As I was thinking about that, I've started wondering which other tech podcasts are people listening to, and if that's second nature for them, too.

So, what's your favorite technology podcast? (And why should I start listening to it? I would love some recommendations!)

What's the consensus on AdGuard? (lemm.ee)

I've been using AdGuard's DNS resolver on my Android phone for a couple of months, and I'm pretty satisfied with it.

The idea is that it filters out ad networks at the DNS level, so there is no need to root the phone (nor to install any app). You just put dns.adguard-dns.com in your "private DNS" settings and that's it.

Recently, though, I've seen a couple of people around here mentioning how Adguard is not trustworthy, or "kinda shady". What's your take on them? Their privacy policy seems OK to me, but I'd be interested to know more about them.
