It’s not widely available and its only in Norwegian, sadly.

However, I will second @mkengine proposal for Letterboxd, I think it is the superior site to nerd out on. Discovery can be a challenge, depending on your own level of investment into the medium. I’m a big ol movie-nerd, and I’m currently grateful to have access to most streaming services through friends/family/partner so I get to browse them if desired.

Apart from that my twitter algorithm is quite skewed towards movies, and I have a “list” on there (curated users you can browse, kind of like a community on here. That’s been great.

Other than that, I listed to podcast, sometimes check out our national newspapers reviews (but most of those reviewers are already in the aforementioned twitter-list) etc.

As for reading on recommender systems and the algorithm for netflix. My work was based around bias and “trust” when it comes to the recommender systems and how much it recommended/pushed “its own agenda” to users despite having differential tastes.

Good keywords I enjoyed was: recommender system bias I also read some good articles on the spotify recommender systems. But those mostly centered around people growing attached to their algorhitms. It was a fun read.

My bachelors thesis was basically about recommender systems like this. Netflix truly is a sunken ship.

This is Wes Anderson in top for, it’s a really fun watch!

It might not stay with the quaint forever.

However I had a lot of fun reading the “Mage Errant” books! It’s a progression Fantasy (comparable genre with shounen anime) that follows a group of students at a magic school as they grow into their powers as they attempt to become strong magic wielders.

I find the book to not only not be bigoted, but be delightfully inclusive in so many aspects, it also includes characters dealing with trauma in a positive way.

I blazed through this 7 book series like popcorn.

Other than that, there are many good suggestions here!

I changed my reddit link to lemmy but kept the snoo symbol.

I don’t really visit too much, I will sweep by a few times a week or so. Reddit I only go to when Google takes me there, which is often enough thst I had to install the official turd of an app.

But I do t have a user over there anymore, so I am not logged in.

I guess how the streaming services promote and place shows in their own service matters.

Are your recommendations really “yours”? Or are they based on trends outside of your viewing habits. Despite having down voted every comedy show on a service, will it still recommend it to you if it’s widely popular?

I think a lot more people chose things from their “wheels” on the Frontpage than we give credit to.

There’s a whole bunch of fillers each time they remotely catch up to the Manga and several “guides” about which ones to skip etc. It’s not too hawrd to catch up if you make it a consistent low-time commitment like watching half an ep on the pooper

I ordered parts and built my own, super fun hobby! The custom keyboard scene is very fun

Purely based on population I’m an exceptional climbing instructor.

Lovely!

Got Express right before they sold. Going to swap very soon! Mainly looking at proton for the swap

For me it’s the gentle lullof the motor and mild sway of the plane. I just can’t stay awake if I try

So it does not follow “New Spring”? I almost would’ve expected it too

Jewel of the Endless Erg by John Bierce, book 2 in the Mage Errant series!

Quite a nice read, the series is fairly easy to read as a progression fantasy-series. Definitely my flavor this summer. Excited for Brandon Sanderson’s Secret Proj 3 tomorrow

Upgrade is a fun watch for sure! Definitely took me by surprise!

In order of importance, a decent grinder and a scale should be at the forefront, along with using some quality beans!

The next up would be any brewing method, and this can be tough to navigate. If you are lazy, go with a normal electric filter brewer. If you mainly brew 1 cup at a time - Aeropress, cheap - quick - effective and easy to use Steep coffee - french press (I’m not particular fond of this myself, but flavour is subjective) Pour over - I’d probably reccomend a v60 here, but would require a kettle or something that lets you control your waterpour as well.

But you can do it in steps! If you consume a lot of coffee, you could start with a brewing method and a scale, then get your beans ground in a coffeeshop as you buy it. Not ideal, as freshly ground coffee is a huge upgrade from pre-ground, but it gets you to experimenting faster

You can view it all from any of those I suppose? It’s just where its hosted from

You can certainly just join the biggest one, but if you want to catch more similar stuff, join several c/gaming across a few instances. While they are seperate, when you browse your subscribed you won’t really notice I guess.

ahh… I remember my first. I also, strangely enough have had way more v60 topples. From brewing on a hike or general clumsiness

Yeah or just pour some over to a small jar you put behind your coffee liquor bottle and they can just chill in there. No need to keep those beans any fresh.
