Now I’m definitely on your side by temperament but my understanding is that they do this to try and build social bonding. (They don’t have the capacity or inclination to bond by infodumping about their special interest(s))

Just imagine, being stuck in small talk for as many as 5 minutes!

I found this in the wastelands of Google: https://www.howtogeek.com/linux-distributions-to-breathe-new-life-into-old-hardware/

I read the guide and it seems pretty solid.

If it is not x86 is it the Itanium ISA?

You’re welcome!

So if you didn’t care about having to wait for the video to buffer on every scroll, it becomes an easier problem. I kind of think that defeats the purpose of a tiktok-style interface though.

I agree that you wouldn’t necessarily need to build a new algorithm, but like I said, it’s part of the smooth scrolling magic

I’m a dev but not very good at mobile.

I can promise you that a lot of engineering work went into making the tiktok scrolling experience so smooth. Part of the trick is having a good enough algorithm that the user wants to watch the majority of served videos.

Another huge part of it is having lightning fast content distribution and aggressive “prefetching” of the next videos in the feed.

I don’t want to discourage you but I also don’t want you to be caught off guard by the difficulty. Do you want to make this bad enough to give it your nights and weekends for a year?

I think blocked by you and deleted from their home instance

I think they are “deleted user” and “blocked user”, respectively

Who is “we” and why do they get to decide whether other countries exist?

Be the poster you want to see in the Lemmy

Well probably because:

• Lemmy is explicitly a reddit clone
• The vast majority of lemmy users are recent emigres from Reddit
• Reddit is still much larger and more influential

Yield to the endless call of the Dark Deep
