The Google Bubble problem

No.52503232 View ViewReplyLast 50OriginalReport
Filter bubble

A filter bubble is a result of a personalized search in which a website algorithm selectively
>guesses what information a user would like to see based on information about the user (such as location, past click behavior and search history[1][2]) and,
>as a result, users become separated from information that
>disagrees with their viewpoints,
>effectively isolating them in their own cultural or ideological bubbles.

Prime examples are Google Personalized Search results and Facebook's personalized news stream. The term was coined by internet activist Eli Pariser in his book by the same name; according to Pariser, users get less exposure to conflicting viewpoints and are isolated intellectually in their own informational bubble. Pariser related an example in which one user searched Google for "BP" and got investment news about British Petroleum while another searcher got information about the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and that the two search results pages were "strikingly different".[3][4][5][6] The bubble effect may have negative implications for civic discourse, according to Pariser, but there are contrasting views suggesting the effect is minimal[6] and addressable.[7]

Is there an SBC that respects your freedom, i.e. does not require any blobs?

Compromised Facebook Account Help

No.46384324 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
Someone completely hacked my account by changing the username to shelbie.truckey and the email address to [email protected]. He/she also changed the password on my account. Now I can't get on so a friend suggested I ask a hacking expert on here in order to help get my account back. If someone on here can help recover my Facebook account, I would appreciate that.

Hey /g/, I am being offered a free Magento2 workshop that would last for 2 months, prior to getting the offer I never heard of Magento framework and I've only done some relatively simple PHP programming.

Supposedly this is some new technology and my question is would this be a good thing to take up and learn, I am mostly interested in the monetary returns since I'm still a student. Would I be able to get decent freelance jobs with this skill or do my own project?

Hey /g/ents

I've been wondering this for a while now, are "pixelless" displays possible? I'm not talking about pixels so small that you're unable to see them, I'm talking about new technology or alternatives. Lets ignore practical problems like gpu support.

Related question. Say we don't find an alternative to pixels, would it be interesting to go looking for new shapes? Would triangular pixels have more benefits than square ones?

Apologies if /g/ finds this a stupid question.
