Thank you.

Science communication is hard. If the audience is scientists in the field, the text is probably digestible, but for anyone else, it’s just not.

Note that I’m not saying anything about the content itself, but in my experience, considering who is reading is useful in most cases.

It is again beginning to feel rather dysfunctional…

And now in English?

Seriously, is this important information relevant to the general public who has no idea what this is describing?

I might also add that currently this word soup looks a lot like the gibberish coming from chatgpt…

Perl is the only language that looks just as incomprehensible before and after a rot13 transformation.

Python on the other hand is the only language that will cause your application to stop working because you mixed up tabs and spaces, even though it looks perfectly fine on your scr.

And lisp is hard to say if you have one.

Edit: aa -> after a

Is there a place where one could offer suggestions for appropriate natural source materials?

If this was my problem to solve, I would host it internally, as-is, on a virtual machine of your choice, then create a a static html mirror version from the public information and put that up on AWS S3 as a static website.

If it’s static content, nothing beats an AWS S3 bucket.

This is history repeating itself.

Try looking for anything in relation to computing between 1975 and 1990, the birth of the home computer and you’ll discover just how much has vanished.

We’ve been using an Apple TV. From memory, there’s a Jellyfin client.

Wow, you kiss your mother with that mouth?

So, another way to report this is;

Two thirds of people in Spain are happy with foreign tourists visiting their lovely country

Next step: Apple removes hardware from box and ships aspiration only.

As an end user, ie. not someone who either hosts an instance or has extra permissions, can we in anyway see who voted on a post or comment?

I’m asking because over the time I’ve been here, I’ve noticed that many, but not all, posts or comments attract a solitary down vote.

I see this type of thing all over the place. Sometimes it’s two down votes, indicating that it happens more than once.

I note that human behaviour might explain this to some extent, but the voting happens almost immediately, in the face of either no response, or positive interactions.

Feels a lot like the Reddit down vote bots.

It absolutely is.

It’s possibly also how they’ll get broken up by the DoJ.

I think that every single provider tracks your activity and the vast majority of them use it to optimise their service income from you, either by giving you better engagement, ie. making you use the service more - endless searching for content for example, or by selling the captured tracking data to the highest bidder.

I experienced this crazy onslaught of advertising to the point of reducing how much I watched YouTube. I was pretty upset and not at all inclined to pay, especially since YouTube was even putting ads on my own videos without me seeing a single cent, because my channel is too small.

Then my partner bought me a few months of a Premium Subscription as a Christmas gift.

It was pointed out to me that I watched more YouTube than any other streaming service which I was paying for.

Combined with background music on mobile, it’s changed my life.

I’m still unimpressed with the business model, but the alternative is so far worse.

Find me a self publishing video platform with the reach of YouTube that doesn’t require self hosting and I’ll happily move my content there.

You could use a cron job to grep through the file and reformat the output into a webpage, markdown, or plain-text file.
