Facebook algorithm changes up your News Feed, again

Hey Facebook…Gather this: Leave my fucking news feed alone, thank you.
Fuck you. Thank you.
~jg

Facebook users can once again expect to see a change to their News Feeds. The social media company is tweaking its algorithm to sift through and weed out posts you might not be as interested in at the top of your feed.

“News Feed will begin to look at both the probability that you would want to see the story at the top of your feed and the probability that you will like, comment on, click or share a story,” Facebook stated in a blog post. “We will rank stories higher in feed which we think people might take action on, and which people might want to see near the top of their News Feed.”

The social media network said it gathered user feedback from surveys before deciding on the change. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/facebook-algorithm-changes-up-your-news-feed-again/ Facebook keeps tweaking its News Feed algorithm to show you what it thinks you care about

The Surprising Way Ships’ Wakes Could Help Ease Global Warming

Thinking outside the box. I like it.
Why do all the solutions proposed to combat global warming always involve sacrifice and regulation?
If we use our heads, we should be able to solve these problems without having to cripple our economy with taxes and penalties.
Instead, we should invent and refine new technologies and create jobs to manufacture and implement them. #Technology #climatechange http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/ships-ease-global-warming_us_56b0e2cce4b0655877f73d91 It’s all about making the Earth’s surface more reflective.

Russian Bombs Killed ‘at Least Three Children a Day’ Last Month in Syria | VICE News

Russia has killed more civilians…women and children…than ISIL/ISIS/Daesh.
But it’s funny that the article fails to mention how many civilians are killed per day by NATO bombs. I wonder what that number is?
#WarSucks #TheAreNoGoodWars #Syria #Russia #NATO https://news.vice.com/article/russian-bombs-killed-at-least-three-children-a-day-last-month-in-syria Activists have documented the killing of at least 679 civilians by Russian airstrikes in January, out of at least 1,382 civilians killed in total.
