Bumping this to hopefully get it a bit more engagement; not really prepared to opine on this topic myself. Effortposts often have trouble getting any traction, which is a rather unfortunate dynamic, so I thought I’d add visibility while that’s still possible.
Bumping, but this thread is too old for it to do much :/

Extra bump just before the 10-minute cutoff, for maximum bumping power (fellow bumpers, take note: this is timing-based, not number-of-comments-based)
Let’s see how effective bumping is after 9-and-change hours. Probably not really enough tbh; a new thread may be called for.
Edit: yeah, only up to 2nd page of default feed, which is less than ideal.

NBC: Europe has ‘maybe 6 weeks of jet fuel left,’ energy agency head says
IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol warned that major economic disruptions are not far off for parts of Asia and Europe if ships are not allowed through the Strait of Hormuz.
Europe has “maybe 6 weeks or so (of) jet fuel left,” the head of the International Energy Agency said Thursday in a wide-ranging Associated Press interview, warning of possible flight cancellations “soon” if oil supplies remain blocked by the Iran war.
IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol painted a sobering picture of the global repercussions of what he called “the largest energy crisis we have ever faced,” stemming from the pinch-off of oil, gas and other vital supplies through the Strait of Hormuz.
He apparently decided to strategically employ severe cringe to drive the point home:
“In the past there was a group called ‘Dire Straits.’ It’s a dire strait now, and it is going to have major implications for the global economy. And the longer it goes, the worse it will be for the economic growth and inflation around the world,” he said.
Don’t try his Safehold series either; the arms race stuff is kinda fun but it has horrendous lib brainworms; I barely struggled through the last volume just after beginning my leftward political journey and it was painful even back then.
Technically, the Thirty Years War lasted weeks. Over 1500 of them, sure, but it did last weeks.
Yes, don’t bother paying any attention to biological realities like the possibility of sex-chromosome trisomies (and other genetic oddities), just draw a stupid line in the sand based on a sub-101-level understanding of biology, to solve an issue that doesn’t even exist, in order to appease bigots!

Someone on Reddit who appears to have been close to Bushnell contends that this is not true: https://old.reddit.com/r/trans/comments/1bdj9lm/can_we_talk_about_aaron_bushnell_for_a_minute/

That’s the Active sort algorithm, which I restored to the original Hexbear Active sort after we merged back to upstream lemmy. See file up.sql for the actual algorithm. It’s unfortunately rather difficult to read for those not technically inclined, and kinda hard to understand clearly even for those who can read it. I came to understand it by trying out some basic examples to understand how it worked.
Basically, for several hours after a post, recent comments adjust the time of the post forward to make it come off as more recent, which pushes its rank higher. Right after the post is made, a comment can adjust the post time into the future, maximizing this effect. This effect fades away after several hours, though, such that posts 8 or 9 hours old or older have trouble rising to the top of the feed when competing with newer posts.
