Whenever people like that give warnings it means it's the right thing to do.

Man who makes billions from you scrolling a rot feed says scrolling the rot feed is good 🤯

The text of the draft legislation, last I read, says that:

An online service has a recommender feature if the service can

(a) select material by reference to any information that the service has associated with an end-user’s account; and

(b) display that material to the end-user while the end-user is using the service.

Side note: I really hate how Lemmy only lets me create new paragraphs and not new lines.

Goat recommends not to take cabbage out of the garden.

OP, you've got a misspelling in your title. It's "whines," not "warns."

Like with cookies, they will undoubtedly find the most unusable and malicious form of "no algorithm" allowed under the law.

It's not a warning, it's a threat that they plan to follow through on.

I left wben they stopled letting me sort my feed as followed conternt in chronological order.

Of course he would

He's a cunt who profits from doing harm

I live in Australia, and the banning social media for kids thing was idiotic, but it was set in motion by the previous conservative government and was unfortunately popular with the voting public

This is the current, vastly better, government trying to make lemonade out of lemons by turning that shitty legislation into something actually helpful

They know kids are getting around the ban, so they're working with it rather than trying to waste time and resources repealing shit legislation

Currently instagram users are overwhelmed with ads and posts from accounts they don’t even follow.

The head of Instagram says the average person who turns off their algorithm will have a much worse "user experience" and he does not think the platform is addictive.

Why you scared of an optional feature, meine freund? Mmmmm?

So we can turn on the only really actually useful sorting (chronologically by date) in the future?

No one should listen to anyone who has a job which can legitimately be performed by a 5 year old LLM.
