  • Fair on the confirmation bias. I guess I should’ve said that I see this post every couple of weeks, even though I have a keyword filter blocking anything with the word “Musk” in the title.

    I wasn’t aware that Lemmy had much of a personalized algorithm, beyond a simple upvote/down vote system with older posts falling down the list. Comments might boost it in the Hot sorting maybe? I doubt the content of those comments matters much.

    I’ve got a conundrum with this post. Somehow, every time it’s posted (every couple of weeks) it lacks the word “Musk” in the title, which bypasses my keyword filter and it shows up on my feed.

    Next time this is reposted could whoever does it put Musk in the title so I don’t have to see it?


  • Hogwart Legacy has been on my list for a while now, but not high enough to buy while I have such a large backlog.

    Hmm… I’ve got a few memes, but I’ll also talk about one of my hobbies: butterfly knife flipping.

    A few years ago I stumbled across a video of someone doing some sick trick with a balisong. I found the balisong subreddit and did some research, bought a cheapo trainer off Amazon, and practiced and watch YouTube videos until my fingers were bruised.

    Eventually for to be pretty decent (enough to impress people IRL with a few tricks, not internet good) and got a few nice knives and trainers (a few Squid Industries, a Kershaw Lucha w/ Flytanium handles, and some random others). I already semi-collect pocketknives, so this is a step past that.

    Downside is, balisongs tree expensive, and I tend to cycle my hobbies and not come back to them for a while. Right now I’m not in a flipping kick, but maybe someday soon I’ll get back to it…

    Also, meme!
