@dreev @thatgirl Okay, I’m now convinced that @GetReporter needs an upgrade on its random algorithm. Thanks for making me suspicious.

@anomalily @dreev @thatgirl what was the issue you discovered?

@GetReporter @anomalily From prev discussion sounded like you decided not to classify it as a bug:

@GetReporter @aaronpk Why uniform randomness breaks unpredictability: If no prompt in last hour (or whatever freq) then you know one's due.

@bmndr @anomalily That’s true. It’s a trade-off between true randomness and randomness that seems broken.

@GetReporter @bmndr @anomalily Actually the current randomness does seem quite broken. I'm often pinged literally... aaron.pk/r4Xq1

@aaronpk @GetReporter @bmndr And frankly, I wouldn’t mind getting pinged twice in a row, would report “reporting” as my activity on the 2nd

@GetReporter @bmndr I mainly don’t like it because it thinks all I do is eat breakfast with @aaronpk because I get pinged @ same time daily
Replying to @aaronpk
@aaronpk @GetReporter @bmndr My data reflects “breakfast” with a higher frequency than other daily activities because of report timing.

@anomalily Do you not make manual reports ever? I usually make more manual reports than prompted ones. @GetReporter @bmndr
