For being so smart, we are so dumb

themeatbridge,

It’s not just that we’re stupid. We’re also selfish.

PunnyName, (edited )

Many are proud of their stupidity.

Viking_Hippie,

And their selfishness.

Huge difference between raw intellectual capacity and exercised utility.

You can have a 10 gallon bucket, but it’ll only carry that much water if you fill it.

Kingofthezyx,

We think we are smart enough to get away with it.

I don’t make new playlists to split by genre, I do it so the shuffle will actually fucking work. I don’t know what dogshit algorithms Youtube/Spotify employ, but for any playlist over 100 songs the “shuffler” will typically just go through the same ~20 songs and expect you to not notice. I just want a different order!

Anyway now I have like 40 playlists with 20 songs each.

LinkOpensChest_wav,

Apparently back in the covered wagon days when shuffle features were truly random, the listener would occasionally be burdened by hearing two songs by the same artist in a row. Literally no one complained about this, so of course upper management decided that this must be “fixed” immediately, so that’s what led to shuffle features becoming noticeably worse than when they were simply random, which is all anyone ever wanted them to be.

RGB3x3, (edited )

Actually, and I don’t mean to be that guy, but people did complain about it.

True random means that you could end up with songs by the same artist being played four or five times in a row, which makes people think it’s not random at all. Humans are really bad at understanding randomness, so a little help to make it feel more random improves satisfaction.

But at this point, it’s gone too far and I’m almost certain that shuffling involves always playing the most popular songs by an artist first, then random covers and remixes, then the back-catalog of works.

On a side note, I wish I could exclude remixes and covers when shuffling through an artist’s stuff.

LinkOpensChest_wav,

Humans are really bad at understanding randomness

Not all of us. I can’t imagine not understanding that if something’s random, there’s a possibility that something like playing the same artist five times in a row might happen. It’s cute when that happens, it’s a thing that should be possible and one of the things that was so much fun about shuffle.

I don’t want to be that guy either, but do you have a source showing that people really did complain about this? I’ve heard it said so many times that they did, but I don’t believe it. I think it’s just an excuse for big corporations like Spotify and Apple to manipulate algorithms to deliberately promote certain artists. I don’t believe it was ever well intentioned, and I resent that there’s no feature for people who want “shuffle” to work like it should work – in a completely random fashion. Or at least give us the option. The fact that there’s not even a randomization option at all should make clear that this was not development that was done in good faith or for the benefit of the listener. They actually removed a feature in order to promote their corporate crap.

It’s so obvious that Spotify is promoting certain artists. As soon as I launch the app, it’s always the same shit on the front page. At this point, I could pretty well predict what major-label crap is in all those “recommended” playlists they create for me. It’s so bad. Honestly, if it weren’t so damn inconvenient to do so, I’d just rip songs from the CDs I buy from independent labels and put them on my phone. I’m pretty sure there are some apps that have a genuinely random shuffle. Just got to find one.

RGB3x3,

…atspotify.com/…/how-to-shuffle-songs/

Spotify themselves got that feedback that their truly random shuffle didn’t feel random, so they changed it to an algorithm. And this is from 2014 when they made the switch, so they were only just diving into algorithmic promotion.

I don’t disagree that Spotify now promotes certain artists and has really messed with their shuffle algorithms, but they left the true random behind because people complained about it.

BluesF,

All I want is shuffle not to repeat until I’ve heard (or skipped) every song.

I mean really what they should do is provide some degree of control over the shuffle parameters… But hey ho, back to listen to whatever Spotify thinks is my favourite song.

Senshi,

Go to settings, disable “automix”. That should help.

SasquatchBanana,

Any fix on the Youtube side of things without clearing watch history?

shasta, in Peak organization

I understand the joke, I think. But what do the devil and Jesus have to do with it? If either one of them is evil it’s what Jesus is saying, so that can’t be it. What am I missing here?

It’s just a common shitpost format out there that’s playing off of those unironic religious posts that you might see on FB or something. I see good/bad get flipped back and forth as part of the joke.

I hear this instrument all the time in many Disney related things. Not all.

And it’s my least favorite instrument. I actually mean that.

Thcdenton,

Don’t forget the cymbals and trupet fanfares. Fuck my life I hate disneyland.

Resol,
@Resol@lemmy.world avatar

Cymbals are fine for me, as long as they’re used in a regular ol’ drum set, you know, the one used in rock and metal music and whatnot.

Trumpets sound best in jazz music imo.

What’s a “photo enforcement camera”? Speed camera? CCTV? Detects you then just drops on your head?

MacNCheezus,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

Speed traps or red light cameras, generally.

CCTV is considered surveillance, not enforcement.

LemmyKnowsBest,

It’s a camera that enforces photos.

smeg,

Wow, you really do know best!

They take your picture and then you get a mostly automated letter with the picture saying you have to pay a fine, but mostly you can ignore them. I lived near an intersection with one, every time the left turn light turned red (which happened way faster than normal) the picture flash went off for the last three or so people going through the intersection, presumably all of them getting tickets. I assume they are also recording the license plate numbers of everyone going through the intersection regardless of perceived violations.

LemmyKnowsBest,

Why do you think those letters in the mail can be ignored? They are tied to your license plate and that is serious business. If you don’t pay traffic fines, the fines go up and up and Then they involve the criminal justice system and you have to show up in court and it’s all just very ugly. Oh yeah they can suspend your driver’s license over it too, There’s no way to get out of paying traffic citations.

Death_Equity,

I know in Arizona, but possibly other states too, you have to be served for the violation. So people just ignore them without consequences until they get caught for something else more serious.

chicken, (edited )

Why do you think those letters in the mail can be ignored?

I forget the exact reason, I researched it at the time and don’t remember well now, but the other comments are probably right. Anyway I know they can be ignored because I ignored them and nothing ever happened. Was more than a decade ago so I think I’m good. They were clearly sending them out to a large portion of everyone going through the intersection for no good reason, it was basically just a grift, so it would have been ridiculous to actually enforce all of them with police and courts.

Wait how is nobody talking about this stock photo making no sense? Like what does the rabbit and bucket even fucking mean? And how do you apply that to a meme?

0x4E4F,

The bucket usually has nothing to do with the meme (in most I’ve seen). Though you can add text to mean something.

Shellbeach,

I mean … like that?
