An inside look at how Netflix's use of data led to generic "algorithm films" intended for broad appeal, with AI set to further entrench the production style (Phil Hoad/The Guardian)
theguardian.com/media/2025/aug…
techmeme.com/250830/p13#a25083…
Bland, easy to follow, for fans of everything: what has the Netflix algorithm done to our films?
When the streaming giant began making films guided by data that aimed to please a vast audience, the results were often generic, forgettable, artless affairs. But is there a happy ending?Phil Hoad (The Guardian)
This is sad. When the streaming services first came out, they provided access to so many quality TV shows and movies. I thought it was pretty cool when they started producing content of their own.
The quality of these offerings has devolved. I have not watched the films mentioned in the article. I checked them out, but they looked like crap.

En actualizaciones ñoñísticas/friki/geek, les cuento que estoy haciendo pruenas de interacción entre wordpress y algunas plataformas del fediverso y se ve bastante bien como funciona, al menos con las mas usadas.
when I enter my server name I get « 404: Not Found
GoToSocial only serves Public statuses via the web.
If you reached this page by clicking on a status link, it's likely that the status is not Public. »
I have to say, I have 3 federated Wordpress sites and never had to use a button like that… basically when you follow a blog on the Fediverse and reply to it from here, the comments sync seamlessly…
So the problem with GoToSocial is that it doesn't have a client part. It's a pure server and you need a different client app to access it (e.g. Phanpy, Elk, or one of the many mobile apps).
That is why the reply link doesn't work. There's simply no API for it, even though the server itself is mostly compatible with Mastodon, this part will never work. 🙂
I don't think it gets mentioned very often and in reality it isn't much of a hindrance. But I also only learned about it from the docs when I was already committed to deploying it. 😅
@elena @gotosocial @carloshr
yes there are no native clients but wonderful options like masto-fe, elk.zone and Phanpy (I cycle between the three)
I really appreciate your support. Thanks a lot! 🙏✌🏻

While loading the kayak I took this photo of the sky. The feathery clouds and a faint halo around the sun stayed with me while I was on the lake.
I shared the lake with a Loon and a Belted Kingfisher. And, since it is a long weekend, with a few motorized boaters. Some of them don't care about the wake they leave behind when passing a kayak.
But since they are so fast, I still quickly had my peace and quiet.

rag. Gustavino Bevilacqua reshared this.
There's some work to open up more of the toilets on private property to public use:
Fun fact: Rotary International is responsible for the first public toilets in Chicago in 1907. Back then "the city they live in" wasn't into the biz of public comfort, or sanitation.
A lot of the public infrastructure that people take for granted today is the result of service clubs formed at the end of the 19th and the start of the 20th centuries.

"if Trump dies MAGA will just start supporting JD Vance"
No. No they absolutely will not.
I need you to understand something. The entire reason Trump won is because he managed to energize a disaffected base of eligible voters that previously didn't give a shit about politics because they're too fucking stupid to educate themselves. Now, these people didn't just magically one day start actively liking education. They're still the same exact disaffected, politically neutral dipshits they've always been. They just fucking love Trump. That's it.
And we have seen this born out in all kinds of ways already. From the 2022 midterms, which was supposed to be this gigantic red wave that turned out to be mostly a wash with maybe a small win in the Senate for Democrats - to the 2024 governors races that mostly went toward Democrats even in states that swung massively for Trump - to the special race in Iowa that just happened where a Democrat flipped a seat in a county that voted +11 points for Trump. Red voters don't give a shit about anyone else. MAGA will literally walk into a voting booth, vote for Trump, and then just fuck off and not vote for any other downline candidate. If Trump isn't on the ticket, they don't give a damn.
The lesson for us liberals isn't "We must defeat every red incumbent" although yes obviously I'm for that. No, the lesson is "Cut off the head, and the snake dies".
I am designing a smart alarm clock to replace the one in my phone, because I can turn off that alarm in my sleep, which isn't conductive to actually getting up on time.
Here's some of the features it will have:
- Home assistant integration! Trigger scenes, automations and more when alarms go off, or only make alarms go off if somebody is home
- Getting current time from ntp, changing automatically for DST etc.
- Automatic skipping of alarms on bank holidays (enter country and state during setup)
- Different schedules for different days of the week
- Play mp3 files as alarm sounds
- eInk screen to show the time
- Push notification to your phone 5 minutes after the alarm has been turned off, if notifications aren't interacted with, the alarm goes off again
- No snooze feature
- Ability to set skip days (eg don't wake me up next week since I won't be home)
- (potentially) ability to use as a bluetooth speaker
- (unlikely but would be cool) ability to use as an airplay speaker
Software will be open source, so even if I stop supporting it (which is unlikely since it'll be my alarm clock too) others can step in to keep their devices functioning.
If you're generally interested in a device like that (no "internet of shit" style comments please), what features would you like to have in it?
