Yep, Lemmy is a pretty neat place!

Here is what the underside of that particular plate looks like. The metal heats up faster than the concrete as the temperature rises, so the parts with thicker metal melt faster.

I feel like things keep getting worse and worse for Haiti

There are different standards in different fields of knowledge. Medical science is different than journalism, which is different from history, which is different from public safety.

In general, a given field has sources that publish information with the highest standard of credibility. In many fields, these are peer-reviewed journals. They may be published by large universities (Harvard Law Review, Oxford Review of Economic Policy), by government bodies (e.g. Smithsonian Magazine, NIHR), by professional organizations (eg. JAMA, Annals of Internal Medicine), or operate independently (e.g. The Lancet, Nature).

It does appear to be the case. This article is peppered excessively with antisemitic dog whistles. One or two could be a coincidence but this is something else entirely.

• “Cabal”
• “billionaire class”
• “Santa Claus” (depicting a literal war on Christmas)
• “imaginary surge in “campus antisemitism.””

The entire premise of the article is that evil Zionists sabotaged the American left and manipulated the election, which is itself an antisemitic trope.

The whole point of using dog whistles is to create a sort of plausible deniability. I’m sorry, but in this case it seems like they slipped one by you.

At least your country is down with the clown.

“Allergy butter” is my new name for Jif. Thanks.

There have been some platforms that combined form factors like Friendica and mbin

Deeply disturbing. It’s so easy to forget that this is a picture of Iran in the 1970s.

This is the first such prime that was discovered using GPU cloud computing. It’s not just an incredible new discovery, but also a demonstration of what this type of hardware network may be capable.

This is why I don’t understand why Hamas doesn’t just release the hostages and surrender their leaders. It would be the best strategic move. If Israel continues to attack then they lose all pretence of fighting terrorism. If Israel stops then it saves Palestinian lives.

Does Hamas still think that they’ll win?

Microsoft learns nothing from their continued pattern of going all-in on a trendy and unproven concept. Windows 8 “live tiles” that were supposed to create one look and feel across devices, Cortana was supposed to be the digital assistant of the future, they even did their own poorly executed folding phone.

Well, you know it’s not just how hungry you are, It’s A Matter Of Time.

Any possibility of a synopsis for those not able to open YouTube right now?

Thank you for stepping up! They can be a thankless job sometimes

The point of using credible news sources is that they are expected to do that work to a high journalistic standard before publication. I trust the worst New York Times Reporter a thousand times more than anon111lulz@lemm.wtf, no matter what evidence they might bring to prove or disprove a New York Times article. Making determination of facts and evidence the responsibility of the users, myself included, doesn’t seem like a recipe for anything good. I am not a trained journalist and you shouldn’t expect me as a user to be able to operate to journalistic standards. If we can’t trust journalism, then why are we following a news sharing sub?

The wisdom of the crowd is not the same as mob rule.

MBFC seems like a good minimum standard. I find it usually comes into play as a rule when someone is posting propaganda or sensationalism from fringe websites.

If a story is not being reported in any better quality source then maybe it’s just not factual and newsworthy?

I would prefer a whitelist rather than a blacklist because there are so many low quality “news” blogs out there. But it still begs the question of who will choose and how they will make the decision. It risks placing a big burden on the mods, a lot of unnecessary bans for arguing with mods about decisions that they maybe shouldn’t be in the position to make.

Why pit the users and mods against each other unnecessarily and risk creating an echo chamber rather than a news aggregator. I trust people here to find and elevate interesting stories that I wouldn’t get from just, say, an RSS feed. I would guess that’s a big reason a lot of people follow.
