Recommended Listening, It’s All about the Algorithm Dept. 0

I’m behind on my podcast listening because I am not alone in the house and I can’t bring myself to go around with earbuds in my ears all day, as I did when I pursued a solitary existence. I can be rude, but not that rude.

So I only recently listened to this episode of Bad Voltage when I took one of the cats to the vet for routine maintenance. It is a thoughtful and reasoned discussion by persons in the tech industry regarding methods by which Facebook (and, by extension, other “social” media platforms) might ameliorate the algorithmic amplification of malevolent messages.

I commend it to your attention.

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
