A few years ago discovered excluding some usernames from a product search can turn reddit results from dozens of hits to none. I noticed those accounts were in all likelihood using keyword notifcations so they could reply to any post mentioning certain model numbers.

In the era of billions of different models of products, there really isn't many people writing about everything. What you get outside of the popular brands and models is nothing at all.

It's more of a red flag than anything if I go looking for reviews and find too much posting about a random product model that isn't a household brand name or obviously popular model. If it's a popular item then I wouldn't have needed to be digging through the internet for reddit comments anyway.

    I see content of stand up comedians doing crowd work more than anything anymore. Politics routines make people angry at them. The reactions went from, "haha it's true'. To full blown meltdowns.

    It's like people are chasing hits of indignance. The same way social media trained us to chase quick hits of outrage per post.

    I dusted off my Ouya which has a very old install of postmarketOS from several years ago. I see now with Nura, the initramfs searches for rootfs UUID.

    If I change something with the kernel then do pmbootstrap install to compile and create new initramfs. The new initramfs won't boot because the UUIDs have changed.

    Also it seems to break the system even if I try to boot the prior working initramfs. So the system partition needs to be flashed with the new system image. Basically a fresh install every time some small thing changes with the kernel.

    It was easy before because any postmarketOS boot.img could be booted from. Does that workflow still exist?
