I agree that if you completely take away their agency that it only makes the slop look more attractive but I also disagree that sentiment that “you can’t”. Technically it’s true. But that doesn’t mean we ought to give in to slop as parents. Low effort slop has been around since before AI. Find ways to teach the importance of genuine creative content and cultivate a preference for the real creative works with your children.

We had to use a family computer in a shared space. Not a tablet or phone that could be used unmonitored. Just because it wasn’t a technical measure doing the monitoring doesn’t mean we were unmonitored.

Only whitelist content or creators you personally have vetted with apps like YouTube kids, jellyfin, etc until you can trust their own decision making. Then share an account so that you can see watch history (and hopefully your good media choices influenced their tastes as you would share an algorithm)

I assume this is a question to weed out candidates using AI as it’s not possible but AI tries to solve for it anyway.

Nice tape collection

Online gaming wise Call of Duty: United Offensive (2004)

As for single player gaming, donkey Kong Land 1 for gameboy is the oldest game I’m actively playing. I have various NES launch games in my collection, those would be the oldest games in my collection that I have played.

If you want algorithmic slip then why not just be on corporate owned platforms? The only people that want to feed you slop are those trying to harm you. The fediverse isn’t going to do that, they don’t have a motive for it.

I use privacy bee. It’s way more expensive than the others but it’s US owned, based, and doesn’t advertise on YouTube or have ties to the same data brokers it claims to protect you from

Gooner AI

Hello Fresh is very good in the US. At least in the Midwest, their distribution is solid and I rarely have problems with orders. It’s just too expensive, but that’s true for anything

.ml is moderated to be ideologically one sided. Pro-capitalism is literally not allowed and will deleted. Making a pro-west or anti-China or Russia comment is like a bat signal for .ml admins and users alike to dogpile on your comment.

It’s their right to moderate their instance how they see fit, but removing content on ideological grounds is going to result in people thinking what’s left is propaganda.

For the most part I like .ml users, I don’t care for the admin team and moderator decisions and that’s why I’m not on that instance. I could care less about the fact my instance is defederated from hexbear users or grad users. They do want to be polarizing and live in a propaganda bubble

Rather than hard-coding an upvote to comment ratio, changing the default sort to effectively put a ceiling on how raw upvotes per comment might be a better way of accomplishing the same goal. And lets it be optional.

An upvote is essentially a boost/re-post on mastodon which says I like this content and think it should be shared. Comments or discussion aren’t always needed for content to be good

No, the fedi is still mostly tech/privacy enthusiasts which doesn’t really describe her.

That’s good to know. My understanding is admittedly out of date as I haven’t really kept up with ATProto as I get much more activity from the AP side of the house. I have been excited about projects like Blacksky and such acting as alternative relays.

I think a lot of the hate is because of the realities of the real world implementation of the protocols. The fact that AT Proto is mostly run through the main instance with only nominal federation through other relays. And the fact that AT Proto requires the full firehouse replicated to all relays.

I probably prefer most of AT Proto other than these two issues. Regardless I am on mastodon with it bridged over to bluesky

I mean they had video iPod shortly after the release of the original iPod so I think a video podcast still fits the definition of “iPod broadcast”

I would say maybe the user is in the EU but apparently apple can still pull sideloaded apps in the EU so what’s the damn point of the DMA, Europe?

8% battery. Charge your phone man

I mean 1.) the network is still pretty small and so the ratio of creators are gonna be low because the audience is low.

2.) the discussions here are still good and engaging. Unless you mean that everyone is a leftist and therefore the same. That’s not even true unless you only follow communities on Lemmy.ml and that’s only because their admins will remove comments for not being leftist

YouTube still offers them a service in directing them new viewers. The big creators all lose viewers but YouTube funnels replacement views faster than they lose. They could host their own videos but they are gonna see very little growth without Google either in search or with YouTube as they start to lose the base that followed them.

They also won’t be able to negotiate as good as rates for pre-rolls or in video sponsorships as if they were on YouTube.

The only real alternative would be to band together like the creators that are a part of nebula are doing. Hosting on peertube really isn’t an option unless you are independently supported and you are doing it as a passion project and don’t care about audience growth or retention.
