  • On the one hand them refusing to share this data is very problematic, on the other hand what the most viewed posts are is determined by their algorithm, and so a distortion of what is “popular”. Sharing and giving users control over those algorithms is the more important issue that should be receiving focus.

    I want to predict that they end up to acquiescing to the demand for “most viewed” data so they can pretend to be all responsible. Seems like a distraction.




  • I use POPFile, open source software that classifies email into whatever categories you set up using a Bayesian algorithm (so you train it). It works as a proxy so it does it when your download email, so not a solution to your inbox filling up unless your can figure out how to run it on the server automatically.

    It tags the email with a header and I use Thunderbird filters to move mail to folders for spam, adverts, political spam, and regular inbox.

    It’s abandonware but it still works and doesn’t really need any more features IMO.








  • Give each person a folder in which to stick whatever loose sheets they are currently working with. Keep these folders plus whatever music books are relevant on a shelf. Tell each person to put their shit away when they are done.

    There can be another folder for sheets people fail to put away. Your wife can just stick everything left out into this folder when stuff gets left out and she gets annoyed. People will learn they have to look through all the shit in this folder to find their stuff if they leave their stuff out.
