Gonna be a whole generation of artists and musicians who think their art isn't good because of the way algorithms work online

Used to be that great art attracts great attention. However I see many bands who are amazing who get something like 2 plays on youtube, or their tweets sink without a trace. I wonder how many of these young kids are gonna give up their artform because of this?

Hot take: developing an open source For You algorithm for mastodon that shows you posts based on your likes inbetween every other chronological post would be great

If we had an open source algorithm for Mastodon/Pixelfed that learned based on the words in the post and image/video we could have a Following + For You feed that showed you all the posts from people you follow and you could choose to see, say, 1 recommended For You post after every 3 posts from your Following feed.

So I was browsing SteamDB.info looking at the various games on sale when I noticed there were a bunch of games (usually from the publisher Hede, but there’s quite a few others) listed as having a discount in the high nineties, yet still costing in the neighborhood of 30-50 dollars.

Arch Linux | A Big Visual Studio Code C# Programming Issue

I tried to use Visual Studio Code a few times. One time, I encountered an error related to OmniSharp, though I don’t remember the exact details. However, Python worked fine, for example.
