@caseyjohnston i listened to the arguments today and it was way more interesting (and cogent) than i expected!! i heard two claims, one was that literally any method of surfacing content, either “related” to the video you just watched or just related to the content you’re searching for or even just last ten uploaded videos represents “an algorithm” qed you can’t treat an algorithm as a deciding factor for whether somebody is a Publisher. claim 2 was that all recommended content should be interpreted as an extension of your search results that (surprise!) you influence by your very engagement with the site, and search results are known to be protected under existing law (i guess?) and by themselves don’t qualify a site for the responsibilities of being a Publisher (at least as far as the lawyers were concerned?!). i feel like the “everything is a search result” argument was a pretty radical position though. honestly an interesting listen.

there once was a doc of renown
whose advice was to go see a clown
but his patient protested
and loudly attested,
"pagliacci, that's me," with a frown

just to be clear, it is a _very_ good game, i am just very bad at it

@chipzel feel like the “comes in three” visual trope here is usually on the left there’s a headshot of you looking to the right or a photo on the far right of the back or your head, something like that ymo album. i do dig the trading card thing though.

still think it’s fucked up that we don’t include aus/nz in the Global South. at least you know you’re in for some Jeremy Bearimy when you talk about the Brandt Line.

"Can you switch back to search mode, I could really use help buying a new rake" is immediately entering the lexicon of all my personal relationships.

not to brag, but i really suck at returnal

@pamelafox never realized you worked on wave, i briefly used it in like 2009 or 2010 to run a twelve person class slack/bulletin board/whatever. it weirdly worked but it was confusing as hell even with so few people. ended up abandoning it and replacing it was a tiny world writable webapp for asking questions async
