I use to have a good “For you” algorithm on Twitter. i think it changed when the blue checks went on sale. Suddenly those I enjoyed seeing every day disappeared from my feed (because they refused to pay for checkmarks), and dumb shit filled the voids (crap posts from those that did pay for checkmarks). Tapping “not interested in this tweet” for every fucking tweet does nothing. my feed is just unwanted shit and tons of ads. I went ahead and tucked the Twitter icon away in a folder, because it’s become unusable.
Threads might be a good alternative. a lot of big names from Twitter have been posting there, so I’ve been seeing a lot more stuff I might be interested in.
I try to follow hashtags on Mastodon, but i had been getting ads (advertisers and spambots put hashtags in their posts) and a bunch of posts in various languages I’ve set Mastodon not to display (they get through because the user sets their language to English, regardless of what they actually speak/write).
My thought on this:
If it was bad, wouldn’t we know by now?
SSD-only systems have been a thing for over a decade, and SSDs themselves have been around for decades.
If standard swap files damage SSDs, someone probably would have said something.
