Literally same. But I would still play the s*** out of an Oblivion remake.
And I’m finding myself actually posting comments instead of drafting and deleting them like I did on Reddit for the last 6-7 years. The comment threads really deteriorated on Reddit over the last decade
Agreed. I personally struggle with the word “intentionally,” however. Meta was aware of the negative side effects of their content algorithms far before the recent Myanmar violence and did nothing to remedy it. There were internal reports about teen suicide and eating disorders several years prior that they tried to hush up, and of course the Cambridge Analytica data privacy scandal which revealed the extent to which Facebook was supplying third parties with user info that was directly responsible for increased partisanship in the 2016 & 2020 election cycles, and probably (imo) they share some blame for recent hate crimes in the US accordingly. And now we know they definitively hold blame for increased violence in Myanmar. If they knew the effect their platform had and did nothing about it, that to me seems intentional. Just my 2¢
To maintain the analogy - what if the radio equipment were somehow designed to provide stronger, more far-reaching frequencies if the DJs were broadcasting hate speech and military commands, but shorter, weaker frequencies when DJs discussed crimes against humanity? Facebook isn’t a truly open platform, it’s algorithms dictate what users see and what goes viral.
One option you could try is the recently-released singing feature in the Ultimate Guitar app:
