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!

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 “spinoff” of the skyward series written by a female author! But having really both that trilogy and skyward I’d say chest GPT is off. But it definitely is closer to skyward flight (the spinoff)

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.

Do you mean so it was balanced around encounters instead of rests? If so, yes please

Absolutely loving ours like this. But we also still use a bunch of streaming services occationally

I agree. I quite enjoyed it, despite being able to recognize it as being far from a masterpiece. The 2nd one however I actively dislike.

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

Completely fair! There was several moments we agreed to suspend disbelief, and that’s exclusively a negative sign.

That’s what makes it a good sunday show for me, if I’m hungover or tired, maybe I will doze off a bit, but won’t miss much and still get to enjoy some quips and decent action

Me and the missus have binged “Citadel” this past week and its shaping up to be a solid sunday-show! The spinoff coming in 2024 seems fun too!
