sites feeding content that use an algorithm to personalize feeds for each user are all compromised.

Not arguing against this at all because you’re completely correct, but this feels like a key example of governments being too slow (and perhaps too out of touch?) to properly regulate tech. People clearly like having an algorithm, but algorithms in their current form are a great excuse for tech companies to use to throw their hands up in the air and claim no foul play because of how opaque they are. “It only shows you what you tell it you want to see!” is easy for them to say, but until consumers are given the right to know how exactly each one works, almost like nutrition facts on food packaging, then we’ll never know whether they’re telling the truth. The ability for a tech company to have near unlimited control and no oversight over what millions of people are looking at day after day is clearly a major factor in what got us here in the first place

Not that there’s any hope for new consumer protections during this US administration or anything, but just something I had been thinking about for a while

Do you have a source for that? I’ve heard about this, too, but the evidence was dubious at best

True but I don’t think the defense stopped them from scoring even once. We’d been winning our bad offensive games because the defense had been able to stop the run and hand the ball back to our offense- neither of those things happened

Feels like the plan all along has been to promote from within to replace them, and I’d be a fan of that. We’ve had plenty of time to plan for this since both our coordinators are too good to not become head coaches

I expect Brad Holmes will continue his draft success, which has been key for us to get this far and will be vital for sustaining the team over the years.

As far as next year goes, we don’t have many major pending FAs, so there’s still every reason to believe we can keep it up into the next season… despite my broken heart :(

I'm Gen-Z too. To some extent I agree with other people on here that, for broader discussions about certain topics, it doesn't really matter what age you are in order to contribute to the conversation, which I feel is one of the strengths of this format of social media.

I also agree with you too that it doesn't feel like there's a space carved out by others from our generation on the fediverse yet. Growing up in such a dramatic period of technological change and global turmoil is something that we all have in common and has fundamentally affected our perspectives and our personal identities. I'd love to be a part of a community if you or anyone decides to begin cultivating one.
