So true. I feel like I have to kill slack off every few days to stop my computer from melting.

This is one of those few times I think separation kernels might help in non-security use on desktops. Well, it sort of is a security principle where the app becomes a threat to your machine. The separation kernels would enforce strict time (CPU) and space (memory) isolation on the system where apps only get what you allow them. They can ask for as much as they want but can’t bypass limits. Might even be ways to force a sleep on them that way where they just think the Internet went down and back up a while or something. Nah, the partition just got no CPU time for a while. :)
Example showing how much is controlled:

Note: Either the app would have to run in VM’s or be redeployed to use such tech. Otherwise, it’s all in one partition that all goes sluggish at once.

Yeah you can do that. It’s just not guaranteed to work if the kernel is non-deterministic or easily impacted by what apps do. You can do it, though.

How Uber Uses Behavioral Science Tricks to Push Its Drivers’ Buttons
I unsurprisingly got an ad to drive for Lyft in the middle of this article.
Good? I go on Facebook to look at pictures of friends’ burritos. To the extent I see more burritos and fewer links to news articles I’ve already read, things are getting better, not worse.
I would love a Facebook mode in which I could see only original content generated by the posting account–no links, no “Joe liked this” or “Jane shared that.” I have no difficulty in sourcing my own news; I don’t need my friends’ help. The goal of my engagement with them on Facebook is to know what is happening in their lives to them personally.
The fact that Instagram trends in this direction is one reason why it’s so much more enjoyable than Facebook.
Why don’t they have a “Youtube Red” for Facebook? It is the perfect fit.
Then Facebook would have no revenue source and you wouldn’t have a place to post photos at all.
I think the problem is that Facebook can’t afford to run its business the way many people would like them to run it. I would prefer a service that charged a few bucks a month and made modest revenues and didn’t have to take over the entire world in order to justify its valuation or market cap.
app.net tried that, but couldn’t earn enough to continue development.
Sure, but that doesn’t mean the business model is fundamentally flawed, that service just didn’t take off, like hundreds of others services with various business models.
What if you miss that article about poisoned burritos?
Science fact: burritos cannot be poisoned. Always safe to eat.
Science fact: lobsters can’t be poisoned.
Hmm, I read it on lobste.rs so it must be true! Rotten burritos for all!!
Sadly these days unless a fried is using Facebook Live Video or “My Story” to show me they’re eating a burrito I’m almost guaranteed not to see it.
that’s all well and good if it only affected {insert content you don’t wish to see here}, however this affects any and all posters on fb. The comments on OP mentioned several small pages who are seeing the same trend. Soon those burrito posts will be gone too.
The good news is none of my friends care about tracking their burrito post metrics. If I miss one, the world still turns.
I miss the good old days, when lost writes where considered cause for complaint.
