@maxo531 @thejollycrank @prdoyle @RobinMazumder @Terrilltf but road and parking capacity is a subsidy in itself! what you're saying is that where the roads are better than transit, driving wins out. which, yes, true, but that doesn't mean you should choose to builds roads & parking rather than transit & walkabilityPermalink Look on archive.org

@Nifflas 2) are they normalising a culture of being an asshole? sounds like it! but I'd probably call that evil, rather than being an asshole?

and, sure, it's not out in the UK yet, but I can import it... and now I'm hung up on this one specific model & configuration of a phone, which is the only one that's not being sold in Europe yet, or available to import with less than a month and a half lead timePermalink Look on archive.org

which turns looking at the feed into this active participation in the algorithm. i'm actively steering through the latent space of possible tiktok videos, and i'm doing this on a moment-to-moment basis, based on exactly how long i watch each video for.Permalink Look on archive.org

like, this covers some basics vice.com/en_us/article/kzdwn9/tiktok-cant-save-us-from-algorithmic-content-hell but the really wild feeling is that the main way i train the algorithm is not by liking shit or whatever. it's just by watching some stuff for slightly longer than other stuffPermalink Look on archive.org
