WELCOME BACK!

Thank you! And a belated Happy Birthday to you, George!

And yeah... I guess there's only so much damage I can do with plastic cutlery, darn it!

Glad to see you here again, @Frank_W, welcome back!

I rarely use Facebook and I am not a fan of Zuckerberg. (I just don’t have any feeling for Zuckerberg one way or another.) But I recognize that some sort of algorithm is needed for the website to decide what to show you. The rate of information feeding into FB is immense, no way all that information can fit on one screen. So some manner of selecting what to show you on your screen is absolutely necessary, and that’s “algorithm.”

Same problem with Twitter. In the earlier days, Twitter just show you everything posted by the people/accounts you chose to “follow.” Then after Twitter grew beyond certain size, Twitter had to be more selective with what to forward or show to you, hence “algorithm” also became necessary for Twitter.

So … how are you doing, @Frank_W ?

Sick of being "harvested."

The harvesting will continue.

It is useless to resist.

Howdy, Howdy! Good to be back, as much as I'm able.

Still getting used to things around here!

Same shit, different board.

A bit mellower, perhaps.
