The series where he cooks in his own home was very relaxed. I only managed to watch American Hell's Kitchen for a single episode - it feels like torture.

When I was a kid in the 80s, "computers will teach your kids in school" was one of those future utopia predictions. Now the thought of a computer teaching kids is horrifying to me. by oyenyaaow in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

Khan Academy Kids is incredible. Watching a toddler battle brain fatigue learning the number two because they want to is terrible and terrifying. If you let them pace themselves and treat it as a game without forcing a schedule they easily get two years ahead of schedule. But it is so much an outlier.

How Google perfected the web (www.theverge.com)

We often hear about the latest engagement hacks on other platforms like Instagram, TikTok, or X, formerly known as Twitter. But Google is consequential above all of these, acting essentially as the referee of the web. Yet deep knowledge of how its systems work is largely limited to industry publications and marketing firms — as users, we don’t get an explanation of why sites suddenly look different or how Google ranks one website above another. It just happens.

Bit by bit, the internet has been remade in Google’s image. And it’s humans — not machines — who have to deal with the consequences.

General Megathread for Elon Musk Nonsense and Twitter News by oyenyaaow in c/technology@beehaw.org

Tagging. Flair. Hashtags. Some kind of meta information.

Even in reddit posts can have flair. Lemmy have come to the edge of not having a filtering system, and need one asap. community specific tags or lemmy-wide tags or organic loose tagging, something is needed.
