[META] I added a basic article filter - Radiation Party

Hi all! I frequently see irrelevant garbage posts being published on these so-called tech news sources, frustrating you and me alike. This morning, I’ve updated the bot to support loading a list of blocked phrases from its config. As of writing this, the block list currently contains: "blockedPhrases": [ "couches", "vegan", "diet", "progressives", "save $", "astrology", "disney plus", "hulu", "apple deals", "prime day", "linoleic acid", "freedom caucus", "mental health", "laptop deals", "smart gadget", "and your money", "folding phones", "chatgpt" ] If there are common phrases that are usually used in blog spam, but not in real tech news, feel free to let me know and I can update the config when I have a few minutes to SSH in and tweak it.

why are foldables on the list? i get the rest but are they not also tech news?

They totally are, but the vast majority of articles I see talking about them are blogspam or garbage, and that’s what I want to kick out.

That and foldable phones are not very interesting to read about right now, they’re all mostly the same tech that has a limited lifespan.

Could you use ChatGPT to assess the relevance of each article before posting?
No
lol perfect response, no notes.
