  • Its not presented as being specifically made without? Wat

    Developer creates endless Wikipedia feed to fight algorithm addiction

    and spend spare moments of boredom without reaching for an algorithmically addictive social media app.

    without an invasive algorithm tracking you and pushing you toward the lowest-common-denominator content.

    Gemal is currently resisting calls to automatically tailor the stream of articles to the user’s interests based on what they express interest in.

    “I have had plenty of people message me and even make issues on my GitHub asking for some insane crazy WikiTok algorithm,” Gemal told Ars. “And I had to put my foot down and say something along the lines that we’re already ruled by ruthless, opaque algorithms in our everyday life; why can’t we just have one little corner in the world without them?”

    “I have no grand plans for some sort of insane monetized hyper-calculating TikTok algorithm,” Gemal told us. “It is anti-algorithmic, if anything.”

    Ill just repeat that last line again for you:

    “It is anti-algorithmic, if anything.”

    The code is on github, go for it.
    Also, read the article for once. Jesus.
