Morizero··on Wordle is pretty damn smart in many subtle ways
In some ways it reminds me of Twitter - the innovation was in restricting the content, not in adding more features.

> Perhaps this is the end result of valorizing difference.

What a weird way to try to tie this to modern politics. You do realize that the movie "Sybil" had a similar effect (people copying a mental condition) in 1976, predating any kind of acceptance movement?

The author (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armin_Joseph_Deutsch) spent some time working for Harvard (which has an MBTA subway station), including as a lecturer. The story features a Harvard professor whom both explains and is ensnared by the anomaly. We write what we know.

Morizero··on Facebook reveals its cryptocurrency Libra
You're just strengthening my point - if I'm misunderstanding something, it's because Facebook has deliberately chosen to make it difficult to understand. That's further reinforced by the fact that they have an incentive to do so - increasing app installs.

> a strong anti-facebook bias

I can tell you from own experience that Facebook's dark patterns are incredibly frustrating at best, and at worst come off as malicious to the end-user.

For example, I refuse to download the Facebook app. When using the mobile website, it often shows me as having new messages. Clicking the notification then redirects me to download the app. Requesting the desktop site, however, shows no notifications and has no redirect.

How am I supposed to trust a company that puts me through that? Is it a bias when they actually lie to me almost daily?

It's like the old adage: You're not stuck in traffic, you are the traffic.

Specifically, the mechanism is inbreeding. Each generation has less and less genetic diversity, until individuals are essentially clones.

Morizero··on A friend of mine died and I didn't know because of algorithms
Correct. The term they should have used is "developing country".
Morizero··on A friend of mine died and I didn't know because of algorithms
Third world country by definition cannot be the United States. The term refers to countries unaligned with a cold war superpower. It's outdated and has better alternatives.
