More data contradicting the existence of “echo chambers”. As I’ve argued many times before, the concept of an echo chamber or information bubble is not real. The podcast below is an interview of an author of a study where they actually intervened and changed the information diet of 20,000 people (with consent!), then surveyed them after three months. They observed essentially no changes to the study subjects’ beliefs and attitudes. They also observed that the typical person, while they tend to gravitate towards people with similar political leanings, only get about 50% of their content from such like-minded people. They get the rest from neutral sources and maybe 20% from non-like-minded people.

Varied information diet + No change in attitudes when information diet is forced to be different = no echo chamber.

Peter Saint-Andre: Philosophies and Ways of Life
In his book What Is Ancient Philosophy?, Pierre Hadot almost singlehandedly resurrected the ancient conception of philosophy as a way of life.

Things were very different in antiquity. No university obligations oriented the future philosopher toward a specific school; instead, the futur … ⌘ Read more

Public service announcement: The fork lockdown is suspended from now on, 2021-11-20 15:45 UTC. Thank you for observing the measure. There were no complaints brought to our attention during the period. Our patrols did not catch anybody in the act of committing forks.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Your scenario would produce observed behaviour, agreed. On the other side I’m sure I’ve set very URL in lasttwt > 1630000000.0 (manually, in my editor).

But I can’t reproduce any weird behaviour right now. I’ve tried to “blackhole” twt.nfld.uk temporarily. That does not have any effect.

I’ve also tried to force twt.nfld.uk to deliver an empty twtxt. That does not have any effect either.

So I guess everything is fine with jenny.

I have wrapped jenny into some shell script to versionize ~/.cache/jenney. This way I have better data if anything unexprected is showing again.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I just observed unexpected old twts coming back.

It looks like lasttwts is reset to -5364619200.0 every time no new content wasfetched for example if if-modified-since did not produce new twts?

@prologic@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de
Exactly, you see correct UTF-8 encoded version (even with content-type: text/plain leaving out charset declaration).

After following utf8test twtxt myself I now see that jenny does not handle it as UTF-8 when charset is missing from HTTP header, just like @quark@ferengi.one has observed.

So should jenny treat twtxt files always as UTF-8 encoded? I’m not sure about this.

There is a palpable difference between the universe described by many religions and the universe described by science. The former is all built from concepts rooted in human society such as father, son, judgment, commandment, obedience, sacrifice, punishment etc. The latter is built from eerie ideas such as force field, wavefunction, observable, reference frame, superposition etc. The former feels small, ordinary, familiar and manmade. The latter feels like we’re fumbling for words to describe something that fundamentally transcends ordinary human experience. 100k Stars | Hacker News
