Over reliance on algorithms has degraded the user experience to the point that the average user is drowning in ragebait and extremist politics, because they drive up engagement. Just like a toddler, algorithms don’t discriminate between good and bad attention, so everything that gets clicks is thrust forward. Now, you could...
Hello everyone! To start out, I’d once again like to say thank you to every single one of you for being here. We’re building something awesome here together, and I’m grateful you’ve been with us so far....
I want to build Linux From Scratch so i can assert dominance on the “i UsE aRCh By tHe WAy!” guys. Any advice?

Just picked up an APC 48u server rack. There were no pictures of it in the post and I did not notice until I got it home and set up, that the rack rails have threaded holes instead of square cage nut holes. I can’t seem to determine the thread size and pitch, and have a thread gauge coming. Until then, does anyone know...

Do I need a 3rd party website like Strawpoll to do polls? If so, which one do you think would be the best for polls for music (maybe something that plays a sample of the song?)
Looking to download an android app. Kind of like a digital replacement for those 2023-4 planners that one sees in Target....

I came up with the idea for this community in the shower. What if I want to watch a movie with people from all over the world, and talk about it in a live thread? Live threads for sporting events and TV shows are pretty common, but I don’t think I’ve seen it applied to movies before. The concepts are simple:...
