  • 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.






  • If you’re talking about what a person would likely understand from those words, then sure, “It’s possible for me to lift 400 pounds if I became a bodybuilder” would probably not confuse anyone. The grammar isn’t quite right, though, because of the way tense /mood is used, and it sounds wrong. I think OP wanted to add the “possibly” because it sounded wrong even if they didn’t know why wrt grammar. If that’s splitting hairs so be it.

    Even saying “I could lift 400 pounds if I became a bodybuilder” would be better.
