    Apple News underrepresents made-up “news”, according to - checks notes - this study we’ve made up.

    My Apple One account is in serious danger of lapsing, Tim Apple.

    In what world does the FTC have any jurisdiction over Apple News?

      In the world where Apple is a vassal of the Krasnov regime

    I’ve gone back to an RSS feed lifestyle and it’s great

      I want to make a set up of RSS to pull stories and ollama to summarize them into a daily newspaper.

      Last time I tried RSS bare there’s so much cruft because all sites put out a ton of SEO garbage hoping for ad revenue and google sempai to notice them that I need something to wade through the garbage.

        Yeah I use OpenAI to summarize the feeds. Really cuts down on the crap.

        I can’t even blame Tim Apple for this one. If I knew I could bribe a total idiot with a trinket and get what I want worth way more in return, I’d probably do it too.

      When a felon rapist changes your last name for you and you don’t do anything about it.

      Full name should be The Coward Tim Apple.

    Trust in US sources and US services must be in free fall.

      I don’t know if you’re ready to hear this, but trusr in US news was in the shitter before 9/11 and got flushed after 9/11.

      Or did everyone forget the lies about Iraq having weapons of mass destruction repeated breathlessly by US media?

    What is the best place for news? I feel like Lemmy is where I get my news. I’m wondering if I should be paying for a news service like ground news or something. These journalists should be paid for the work they do, and I feel like I’m not doing that as of right now. I’m using Adnauseum, so technically every ad is getting clicked then blocked, so the site may actually get some ad revenue, but I’m wondering if a paid news service is the right thing to do. If Apple news is wrong, and Google news is wrong, what is right? Or perhaps what is least wrong?

      PR Newswire, Reuters, Associated Press tend to be the most straight forward sources to get news with minimum editorial content added.

      I’ve been pretty happy with Tangle.

      I tried ground news and wasn’t impressed.
