I have a problem with my social media feed: there are some people whose content I find really valuable, but on the other hand, there is too much trivial content, so I waste too much time watching low-value videos... BAD DEAL!!! So, let’s solve this issue using AI automation. We can solve this issue by using Telegram as our own social media platform and using automation to make our own feed, far from the algorithms of social media platforms. Choose the people whose content you find really valuable. Use AI automation to monitor them whenever they publish a new video. Once a new video is published, AI sends it to a Telegram bot where you can download it. The person who gave me this idea is Abo Ziad (the Egyptian version of Ali Abdaal), and he is one of my favorite YouTubers. Personally, I think you can add some entertaining channels to make it more balanced. I’ll try this solution for one month, and if you’re interested, I’ll share my experience with you, whether it succeeds or fails. In the end, it’s up to you. Tell us in the comments if you found the general idea useful or not, and whether AI automation is the best solution for this issue.

Let's look at how to use the Retro app, whether it's free and whether it can compete with other social media apps.

The feature is rolling out as the company open-sources more of its ranking algorithm.

X is expanding the open source code behind its 'For You' feed and launching new transparency tools that show users when its ranking systems have affected their accounts or posts.

The social media giant says it was time for a sharper and more modern look after a decade.

A new lawsuit claims the Truth API violates the First and Fifth Amendments.

From pessimism around dating to AI reshaping culture, cyber-ethnographer Ruby J. Thelot tells WIRED why people are putting too much stock into things that go viral.

The app was banned from government devices in 2022.

Thirteen authors joined a little-known Google AI study in 2022. Now they're facing backlash.

Over a year following its post-election surge, Bluesky’s mobile app is seeing a continued decline in active users, though its remaining community is still relatively engaged.

Spotify is introducing “AI Persona” labels for artist profiles that represent AI-generated identities and will exclude their music from editorial, algorithmic, and personalized recommendations by default.

Jeff Bezos is reportedly close to buying his first stake in a sports team: the U.K.'s famed Liverpool Football Club.

Bluesky has added a new feature that lets you hide reposts from a specific person in your feeds. The tool might be helpful if you want to stop seeing reposts from that one person who clogs up your feed with reposts of things you don't care about. If you follow me, I may be that […]

Platforms like Meta, TikTok, Snapchat, and Google are facing a long road of litigation.

We’ve all been there: hunched over a keyboard at 3 AM, neck craned forward like a turtle, debugging a race condition. "Tech neck" isn't just a meme; it’s a productivity killer. As developers, our spine is our most underrated hardware. In this tutorial, we are going to build a Real-Time Spine Posture Monitor . We will leverage real-time human pose estimation and MediaPipe Python libraries to track your posture via your webcam. By the end of this guide, you'll have a system that detects when you're slouching and sends a system notification to keep your ergonomics in check. This project is perfect for those looking into OpenCV computer vision and developer ergonomics solutions. The Architecture 🏗️ The logic is straightforward: we capture video frames, process them through a pre-trained neural network to find body landmarks, and apply some basic geometry to determine if your posture is healthy. graph TD A[Webcam Feed] --> B[OpenCV Frame Processing] B --> C[MediaPipe Pose Landmark Detection] C --> D{Extract Shoulder & Ear Coordinates} D --> E[Calculate Neck Inclination Angle] E --> F{Angle > Threshold?} F -- Yes --> G[Trigger System Notification] F -- No --> H[Continue Monitoring] G --> B H --> B Prerequisites 🛠️ Before we dive into the code, ensure you have the following installed: Python 3.9+ MediaPipe : Google’s framework for cross-platform ML. OpenCV : For video stream handling. PyObjC : (For macOS) to trigger native system alerts. pip install mediapipe opencv-python pyobjc Step 1: Initialize the Pose Engine MediaPipe makes pose estimation incredibly easy. We’ll use the Pose solution, which provides 33 3D landmarks for the human body. import cv2 import mediapipe as mp import math # Initialize MediaPipe Pose mp_pose = mp . solutions . pose pose = mp_pose . Pose ( static_image_mode = False , model_complexity = 1 , enable_segmentation = False , min_detection_confidence = 0.5 ) mp_drawing = mp . solutions . drawing_utils Step 2: Calculating the "Slouch" Angle 📐 To detect

X is ending its controversial revenue-sharing program for content creators, which has seen numerous revisions under Elon Musk's reign. In its place, it's launching a new Original Content Rewards program on September 8th. To be eligible, creators must have at least 500 verified followers and at least 500,000 Home Timeline impressions from verified users in […]

X is winding down its existing Revenue Sharing program.

Vogue World is coming to San Francisco next year — perhaps another indication that tech bros are now part of the fashion zeitgeist.

Online speculation over the weight loss of celebrities like Ariana Grande—even out of genuine concern—can make things worse for people struggling with eating disorders.
