Почему бы и нет?

Вообще, жёлтые обычно так и работают, но, по достижении некоторого критического уровня серости, перестают и начинают давать обратный эффект 😀

Камеры сильно манипулируют картинкой. "Видят" они примерно так (см. первый ответ): photo.stackexchange.com/questi…

А плёночные камеры вообще видят так, как и какой им химии насыпали 😀

Какого? Давай геолокацию кадра с рулём 😀

Перекрёсток идентифицировать несложно. Гуглишь заправку, тыкаешь в каждую. Их таких в Москве ещё и мало, плюс характерные здания.

К парку претензий нет 😀 Город вот мрачненько смотрится, особенно с дорог.

Начинаешь понимать людей, что на зимовку уезжают.

Суворовский парк, там целая цепочка из них.

Но виды не слишком открываются, так как холмы густо покрыты летом.

i am so happy for you. unfortunately i am still waiting.

update: I am in! hooray!

(app looks clean af as well)

You don't know what you get though, even without an AI driven "engagement" algorithm. If the pace of new videos being uploaded is fast enough there will be no shortage of hours to mindlessly scroll (if that's your goal). It gives everyone an equal chance to be discovered, and from there more popular videos will have their own tabs so you can see what other people like too.
The short video format is plenty addictive without pushing for maximum retention, because there's no reason to - other platforms do it to increase your screen time so they can show you more ads. That's all it is. All it ever was. They don't give a shit about you or your enjoyment(YouTube dislikes?), in fact, one method of raising engagement is to make you angry, they do this a lot. It works, it's a lesson they learned from the effectiveness of rage baits.

It's honestly frustrating how so many people want the same old shit algorithmiclly based feed when we've finally gotten rid of the fucking disease.

I wonder about this a lot. The little research I did suggested DigitalOcean is footing the bill for the moment (and also for Pixelfed? would love to hear more about this). Google, Facebook, TikTok, etc.. have all managed to throw enough resources at similar products that people expect a level of performance that is very expensive to maintain. There is some serious hardware and distribution issues ($$$$) with trying to host an "instant and endless stream of short form video".

In a counter point though I think large instances like lemmy.world and lemmy.ml have found ways to survive and thrive and the fediverse generally seems to be supported in a very grassroots sort of fashion. Donations, patrons, people who have the hardware and bandwidth sharing what they can for the greater community. Perhaps loops will go the same way.

At a guess, bc the timing might seem right with all the controversy surrounding Tiktok? Knowing that this is out there may increasing the number of contributors to the codebase.

Also I recall clicking on a GitHub page at some point for a front-end web UI for this content, so while the sourcecode of the app itself may not be available yet, there is a way for someone to make their own instance to receive the federated content. I think.

In comparison, the Sublinks project garnered so much attention that the Lemmy.World admins seemed ready to jump onto it the moment that it was halfway ready, but now we haven't heard of any progress whatsoever for months and people seem to have given up hope for it. So communication about a project can be quite important as well as the actual coding itself.
