@wendinoakland @pixelfed A more accurate term for biased/manipulative algorithms is probably "biased/manipulative algorithms". While knowing that "algorithms" _can_ have less obvious side effects, it is important to "colloquially" point out that those are a subset of algorithms. I've yet to find a better term myself.

@wendinoakland @pixelfed Given that algorithms are usually man-made "rule sets" which are designed for a certain program flow, I'd argue that there are no "independent" or "neutral" algorithms.

@wendinoakland @pixelfed Chronology is biased as well. What if a random user does NOT want a chronological timeline and would prefer a "for you" feed, filled with whoever pays best?

@wendinoakland @pixelfed Precisely. TikTok would not be anywhere close to its current popularity if they would just have a chronological timeline. There are no "objectively good" algorithms.

@wendinoakland @pixelfed Yes I have set it to black, but that is not default. Try to log out and delete cookies or use an other device where you are not loged in, then you can see that whit is default.

La NASA ci riprova. Iniziata in Florida la seconda prova generale del lancio della missione Artemis II verso la Luna. Si concluderà nella notte italiana fra domani e venerdì. Se tutto andasse bene, la prima data utile per la partenza sarebbe il 6 marzo

Maltempo: la calabria “sta crollando”. ancora cicloni e nubifragi su un territorio già vulnerabile
@anarchia
I nubifragi continuano a colpire la Calabria, con precipitazioni intense e raffiche di vento che sul versante tirrenico superano i 120 km/h. Resta l’allerta arancione. Il torrente Coscile è esondato e sono state disposte evacuazioni in

@penryu was his hypothesis that it had been mistakenly delivered to your house and you had accepted the delivery under false pretenses?
Or that you had accosted the delivery person somewhere else and brought your ill-gotten food back to your lair?

Thanks to everyone who replied! I am a "yes, but...".
Yes, but you should clearly identify it as remote content or a remote profile.
People on here freak out sometimes when they see remote profiles or remote content on a Fediverse-enabled server. They say it has "shadow profiles" or "scraped content."
Clearly identifying that it comes from the Fediverse can help with this a lot.

@evan If I'd had any doordash food, he would have been welcome to it, provided I hadn't already thrown it directly in the garbage.
As it turned out, he insisted w stole it and were denying it, demanding my name until I closed the door.

@adamshostack agreed.
