- Comment on YSK: For-Profit News companies are willing to create the world you want, so they can get your clicks. 1 day ago:
It’s one of the best, but it’s not free from controversy. Look at their board of directors and where they’ve worked (scroll down).
- Comment on YSK: For-Profit News companies are willing to create the world you want, so they can get your clicks. 2 days ago:
I think they’re mostly creating the world their owners want. I’ve seen articles buried, where you have to have the exact headline to access it.
To go along with what you’re saying, the headline people are usually the biggest problem.
- Comment on A chemical industry lobbyist is attempting to use AI to amplify doubts about the dangers of pollutants 3 days ago:
Louis Anthony “Tony” Cox Jr, a Denver-based risk analyst and former Trump adviser who once reportedly claimed there is no proof that cleaning air saves lives, is developing an AI application to scan academic research for what he sees as the false conflation of correlation with causation.
Cox has described the project as an attempt to weed “propaganda” out of epidemiological research and perform “critical thinking at scale” in emails to industry researchers, which were obtained via Freedom of Information Act requests by the Energy and Policy Institute, a non-profit advocacy group, and exclusively reviewed by the Guardian.

BTW, Sh.itjust.works isn’t US based.
I know. Reuters is owned by a Canadian billionaire family if that’s important to you.

- Comment on BBC is Getting a Paywall. 4 days ago:
The Guardian isn’t horrible, but not perfect. Reuters, if you squint, is pretty good 3/4 of the time. Propublica is great for investigative journalism. All of them have horrible headline writers at least half the time. Politico isn’t worth checking, but every month or so, you might miss something. It’s a mixed bag basically, so you have to check out a few.
I try to post the “real” stuff (not what trump says, but what he and the republicans are doing) on politics at sh.itjust.works on weekdays. It’s US based and I’m anti-right.
- Comment on BBC is Getting a Paywall. 5 days ago:
They’re not that great anyway. They’re barely holding on to my personal list of reliable sources. If I really need something, there are other places to go. Good luck BBC.

I really like the pre-identity thing, especially if you’re going to other types of activity pub applications or switching instances.

And some want wealth to do fun things, help people and not have financial worries.
- Comment on Thank you for your attention to this matter. 1 week ago:
People don’t understand what’s happening, there are a lot of people willing to stand in front of bulldozers. This is their technique:
“The opposition party is the media,” Steve Bannon, who helped run Trump’s 2016 campaign, told PBS Frontline five years ago. “And the media can only — because they’re dumb and they’re lazy — they can only focus on one thing at a time.”
So the solution, per Bannon? Overwhelm them.
“All we have to do is flood the zone,” he said. “Every day we hit them with three things. They’ll bite on one, and we’ll get all of our stuff done, bang, bang, bang. These guys will never — will never be able to recover. But we’ve got to start with muzzle velocity.”

I hope it’s like in Florida when they tried to do the same thing for golf courses and the public came in and shot it down. We have to get louder, Magas won’t like this either.
- Comment on Thank you for your attention to this matter. 1 week ago:
The public lands thing is breaking my heart. I hope they’re used by Magas and they now can’t use them anymore. The one in Washington State is definitely like that.
- Comment on Reddit in talks to embrace Sam Altman’s iris-scanning Orb to verify users 1 week ago:
According to two people familiar with the matter, World ID could soon become a way for Reddit users to verify that they are unique individuals while remaining anonymous on the platform.
Reddit knowing who I am isn’t okay though. Who tf trusts them?

- Comment on Threads is adding fediverse content to your social feeds 2 weeks ago:
They also want to control the headlines that make it to the front page like other major instances do.

Nahhh, Meta sucks ass and will screw you over in a heartbeat. What’s in it for them is the question.

People are forgetting too that this is just a job that he can be fired from. The SCOTUS and Republicans can fire him at any moment, but they aren’t. These middle managers suck.
- Comment on YSK: Non-violent protests are 2x likely to succeed and no non-violent movement that has involved more than 3.5% of the country population has ever failed 2 weeks ago:
are 2x more likely
Meaning, there can be instances where it’s true or not true.

- Comment on Cancers can be detected in bloodstream three years prior to diagnosis 2 weeks ago:
That makes sense if I’m understanding you correctly. You might have cancerous cells, but it’s not actually cancer.
- Comment on Cancers can be detected in bloodstream three years prior to diagnosis 2 weeks ago:
I thought cancer comes a goes all the time, wouldn’t that give a lot of people false positives and a start to the cascade of healthcare?

Teach me how to trick a chatbot to give me millions of dollars, wise one, but for real.
- Comment on 109 children rescued, 244 arrested in Operation Soteria Shield, exposing widespread child exploitation in North Texas 2 weeks ago:
And that the kids probably have Latino last names. There’s a lot of children without parents going into the system. Don’t let a pedophile become president kids.
