Like any Donegal or Kerry GAA fan I'll be devouring any and all coverage I can find over the next few weeks.
Still training my algorithm here since leaving the bad place.

Here's a list I've done, give it a follow if you're in the same boat as me: bsky.app/profile/did:...

I think it’s time that we put this whole chapter [where I was exposed as a repellent sleazebag] behind us, for the good of everyone [me].

Word of the day is β€˜ram-stam’ (18th century): impetuous, headstrong, or reckless.

Honestly, there should be a nationally funded search engine that’s run by public universities. Not going to get that with current administration but would love to see something like Wikipedia get formed but for search engines.

If you too would like to someday be an old man who can run 13.1 miles faster than roughly 2/3 of the other old men attempting it, I wrote a book about it.

The tech billionaire war on "woke" is really a war on workers Mark Zuckerberg wants "masculine energy" and "aggression" at the office β€” sounds like a toxic workplace

If you were, hypothetically, someone who had never seen Lynch's work, where would you start. Hypothetically.

And now with Trump as president and Musk in ascendancy, this seems like a handy way to avoid losing ad spend on his platform.

Even though your ad could show up beside AI slop, misinformation or outright Nazi propaganda.

Losing dollars to save pennies.

I think Zuckerberg was planning on cuts and getting rid of fact checkers and replacing them with AI, but I think the AI hasn't panned out the way he would have liked.

In other words it sucks, like most unmonitored AI.

I had to come up with a workaround by setting up a second Facebook business account on hooking the existing pages to it so that we would be able to advertise again but it was an annoying roadblock.

Weird thing is the same thing happened to other people I know who work in the industry.

I had a look through all our ads and our organic content to see if there was anything even resembling a violation or that could be pulled up. I could find nothing, and no post had been flagged.
Eventually when I got answers from Meta, they told me it was down to the AI software being overzealous.

Meta's rightward swing is down to penny pinching.

A weird thing happened to my Facebook business account last year. It was banned from running ads for violating community standards, but we couldn't figure out what it was. Nobody would talk to us about it in Facebook.

Banning algorithm based feeds seems like a no brainer given what gets boosted.

But some sort of safeguards for democracy and some accountability for these platforms and the people posting on it just seems like common sense. You can't just yell out hate speech on the physical Town Square, not sure how zuck suddenly justifies Musk saying it's ok on the digital one.

Knee jerk reaction for me was that it seemed perfectly reasonable to ban Twitter here in the EU but seems rash to ban TikTok in US but when I put the two thoughts together that doesn't make sense. Can't just ban it if you don't like it, madness lies that way.

Rather than flat out banning social networks like TikTok and X, would some sort of fairness doctrine not be a better way? Obviously the political winds aren't blowing that way in the US now.

Nintendo needs another foldable console after the switch, kids today won't have the thrill of closing their DS and hiding it under their pillow when they should be asleep

That isn't compatible with conservatism, if what you're trying to conserve and impose are evangelical Christian values.

On the other hand, socialism can exist with liberalism up to a point until liberalism eats it alive.

Conservative voters want to stick to traditional values and oppose deviations from that.

Howeve, many conservative voters also claim to want less government interference in people's lives, lower taxes and more personal freedom. That is Liberalism.

I hate the phrase "all roads lead to X"
