needs login or JS, but here's the beginning:

"In 2023, the US Supreme Court declared, contrary to established science and object permanence, that water ceases to exist when it goes underground and is therefore no longer subject to meddlesome environmental protections. Frothing lefties like Justice Brett Kavanaugh warned the decision was a recipe for widespread pollution. This week, President Donald Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency agreed … with the Supreme Court.

The EPA’s announcement on Wednesday that it would find the narrowest possible definition of the word “water” for regulatory purposes was just one of dozens of ways it plans to attack environmental protections during Trump’s second term in office. Supposedly meant to spark some sort of “Great American Comeback,” these actions would mainly bring back an era of poisoned skies and waters while hurting the very economy they’re supposed to help."

yeah totally, but those are basic algorithms and most lay people don't even realize them to be. also I doubt many developers would show their boss "hey I built this awesome algorithm, it sorts by up votes" or "by time created" and continue having their job unless they built a recommendation engine per user or demographic, which is the generic corporate standard

which is why I like Lemmy/fediverse. it lets things be much more "organic" for lack of a much better word

maybe don't store complicated pictures on your devices, or if you do, have separate devices for each? for instance, if your mom hates guitars, but loves drums, keep them on different devices

but for the FBI in the chat: don't do anything illegal, every device either has a backdoor or is ridiculously vulnerable, God is watching, etc etc

see the joke is, in the USA, if you were taught in public schools, you were told the "mitochondria is the power house of the cell" as an analogy. you were told this many times, on repetition

yes, in designed algorithms (although it's hard to argue that "hot" sorting is an "algorithm" unless we're being pedantic). but in a colloquial sense, from an end user's perspective, the thing they see is "the algorithm". which for lemmy is about as natural as I described, unless I'm missing something (like the rate of photons hitting under sea cables), since there isn't a suggestion engine for the "all" feed
