Twitter To Become Confusing And Pointless As Soon As Next Week

#27084 posted by primal (nli) on 2016/02/06 10:47:07

http://www.buzzfeed.com/alexkantrowitz/twitter-to-introduce-algorithmic-timeline-as-soon-as-next-we

"The timeline will reorder tweets based on what Twitter�s algorithm thinks people most want to see, a departure from the current feed�s reverse chronological order."

It's not clear if viewing the reverse chronological order will be possible after they change the default. If not, people who've been relying on Twitter to get the word out on what they're doing most recently might want to look for other options.

We'll see soon. Welcome to the future where shitty algorithms try to think for you.

That could be interesting for hashtag searches, but definitely not for the main feed.

I respect that they want to experiment with better experiences. I mean, if it sucks, they'll revert it. The users will let them know ... loudly, I'm sure. :)

Right, Willem

Just like the facebook "timeline". That really became more useful when they made that change. Not.

#27088 posted by JneeraZ on 2016/02/06 13:07:13

Well, if everyone hated it, it wouldn't be that way. Facebook wants to retain users, not lose them. So it may not align with your personal preference but ... alas ...

Retaining Users Is Not Their Only Interest

#27089 posted by SleepwalkR on 2016/02/06 13:19:50

It's also to be able to show me targeted ads. Facebook is so big now that they don't have to fear that users will run away in droves. Where would they go?

Is twitter not in the same position now?

Yup, which is why I'm afraid that they're going to stick with it unless it hurts their revenue.

I am using the Quakespasm engine and Quoth will not load any maps after E1M2Quoth. It says it can't spawn. Preach says in the Quoth help to post on FUNC_MSGBOARD. I have the latest version downloaded from preach's website.

There are no more maps than e1m1rmx and e1m2rmx for quoth.

I assume you expect e1m3rmx, we all do..

What mfx said above, however there are many maps for quoth that have released seperately from the main Quoth download. If you search quddicted and filter for "quoth" you will find many other Quoth maps to play!

Does Anyone Ever Say Thanks To Shambler?

#27097 posted by Baker on 2016/02/08 04:30:50

For keeping things tidy when required. I'm sure nitin does it too sometimes.

No.

#27098 posted by Shambler on 2016/02/08 11:50:17

Because Shambler is also a smug cunt when he does it :).

I do think Func should have another 5 stickies for common stuff, including Engines and Coding, to make it easier on unfamiliar people.

Edit:

#27099 posted by Shambler on 2016/02/08 11:50:53

4 stickies.

Engines
Coding
Other PC Games

+1 more?

Thanks Shambler

Perhaps the modelling thread 4th? It's not quite as high traffic as the others, but it's going through a bit of a surge currently...

@shambler

#27103 posted by Baker on 2016/02/08 19:29:57

That reply was about as perfect as a perfect reply could ever be!

#27104 posted by mankrip on 2016/02/08 22:16:50

"Other PC games" don't need to be stickied. They should bow down before Quake!

Seriously, that's unnecessary.

Yes

#27105 posted by Kinn on 2016/02/08 22:25:38

Other PC Games should not be a sticky. Jobs Wanted should probably also be unstickied; that's a pretty low traffic thread.

Coding
Models
Engines

those three sound good.
