I have an app for that, I mostly just do the daily rewards now tho.

Hobbies: They're great.

Largely yes. Sometimes "ground meat."

Great, now instead of just being bored, I get to manage three servers and two dozen public-facing services that I have to maintain for a growing number of users, along with the physical servers themselves, as any cog in this machine may break and burst into flames like a house of cards... and still be bored with the added stress.

Yaaaaay, hobbies...

Try eating your keeper.

You may have chosen the wrong one.

This hobby would be significantly better if it came with a six-figure salary

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's called a "job".

Or "ground beef" or "hamburger meat"

One thing we rarely if ever call it is "minced" or "mince."

To my American mind that suggests it's been cut into tiny pieces with a knife, not ground through a grinder.

Mincing is something you do to an onion, or in stiletto heels and a knee-trappingly-tight skirt.

this guy doesn’t mince words

Take a break from social media.

You'd think yeah :P

If the cogs didn't break occasionally, I feel like it wouldn't be a very good hobby.

Does Lemmy count as social media?

Hell yes, get rid of anything that's an algorithm.

If you can't run out of content on the platform you're on, it's a bad thing.

Use youtube clients that follow users

Browse text platforms that let you follow communities.

TT, IG, /all, and shorts are where your brain goes to die.

Yeah, though anxiety and self-perfection make every task dreadful and stressful when anyone else is impacted; doesn't matter if it's the family vaultwarden instance or a game server needing an update to become available again, all of it is AHHHHHHHH

No, the tiger does not need "enrichment", it needs to be set free. Do not accept being caged as the normal and don't be gaslit into thinking the toys you get is "enrichment".

Reject the premise altogether.

Everything that's on your phone has an algorithm.
It's like saying I don't eat things with chemicals in it.

Ever thought about shitcanning all of that and just folding some paper cranes?

"I angrily reject this joke in a politically awakened manner."

This could be the type specimen of a Lemmy comment

Or mince around.

I'm in too deep. Save yourself!

In the places I’ve lived “raw hamburger” is pretty rare. Ground beef and hamburger meat are common.

Group chats with Friends? Games? Ebooks? There might be algorithms associated with those somewhere, but you'd have to go digging for them.

Technically correct, but I think you know what the above user meant.

I think so, yes.

I have been posting things on websites that allow the general public to participate since my childhood, that is, for more than 20 years. At the time I was familiar with "forums", slightly later also "wikis" and "blogs"… I have no idea why or even when exactly the world started to insist on that strange term "social media" to describe some poorly defined subset of such websites. 🤔

Chats: an algorithm decides the order of the messages shown
Games: a lot of algorithms everywhere.
Ebooks: eg algorithms are used to decode the drm of you are using a Kindle.

You don't need to dig very deep.

Instructions unclear. Now have salmonella.

I feel like "hamburger meat" implies the inclusion of seasoning whereas "ground beef" is literally just the meat

In French we call it "chopped steak"

Sounds like someone needs a meat pumpkin!

Ever had a conversation with a person about two different topics at the same time but each topic is being talked about in a different app, in real time?

I mean, it would make for an interesting day.

My wife does this.

Our text DMs are about the kids.

Our family chat DMs (Zulip, which is a open-source version of Slack/discord) is full of memes.

Are you sure it's not called a royale with steak? Because of the metric system?

Controversial take here:

In my opinion, if you're just here to shit post and not actually use your "socializing" brain, then no. Like when you're picking the weird options in Skyrim and then restoring your last save.

But if you're committing to the actions and this is your "real playthrough", then yes.

Y'all have money left for hobbies?

You misunderstood, this wasn't an analogy. The secret to enrichment is literally putting raw hamburger in a pumpkin and rolling it around your home.

Chopped Royale

Ahh yes, the old "things are bad so we shouldn't worry about making them any better" argument.

Well. There's always humming, I suppose.

A pedant's job is never done, huh?

Y'all have time left for hobbies?

What services?

Please keep your dirty hamburgers away from my virgin pumpkin

(Zulip, which is a open-source version of Slack/discord)

Did you do this to brag, or to avoid the FOSS Enforcement Patrol?

Ah force of habit. I just came from a conference and I had to explain Zulip a dozen times to people.

recommendation algorithm

though i reckon lemmy has one too, just a more transparent one
