I honestly can’t say I’ve seen any pro Hamas crowd on lemmy. Anti Israel, but that’s not the same thing.

My eyes…

While it’s fun to bash on Google, this might have been a more productive discussion if you had provided your search query and perhaps a sample of the results

The technology is open source. Anybody can run it themselves and disable the watermarking.

This should honestly be a thing whether or not US internal news gets approved.

1. Depending on how you access lemmy, this may not be the case. It certainly isn’t for me.

That said, I would rather have titles be non-clickbaity. Maybe require titles to be non-clickbait and without commentary.

2. Pass. There’s a ton of US news communities already. If it doesn’t affect the rest of the world, it’s not world news.

3. MBFC is… Meh? Their definitions of left / right bias seem to be very American and could probably use some adjusting. It’s useful but shouldn’t be the golden rule.

Gotta tweak that sarcasm detector of yours

They just stay away from the window.

Really? A bus you were on didn’t stop once in a 5-hour drive in your experience?

That’s not what I said. I said the driver has discretion over where and when to stop during the drive. You’re the one claiming otherwise.

Occam’s Razor

So you pulled it out of your ass, got it. I love how you dispute the article on the basis of ‘it’s more probable’. Who cares about facts, eh?

only people who have never truly lived in India can make such assertions.

That’s funny, seeing as the article was written by Indians.

There are designated rest breaks in those long drives

Source? Because my personal experience says otherwise.

those two were very likely just entitled

Do you have any reason to think so, or are you just wildly speculating? You don’t even know if they made a fuss, or just very nicely asked if the driver could align the rest break with their prayer time.

Not really. MBFC has itself proven somewhat biased. I’m not particularly impressed with how they described Al Jazeera as ‘biased’ when they’re more factual and balanced than most western sources.

Can you provide a link to their actual claim? Other commentors have stated there’s no such claim on their site

Looking it up - Kaushambi to Bareilly, the route the bus was on, is a 5 hour drive. We’re not talking about city buses with 2 minutes between each stop. Long distance routes like that generally give the driver the discretion to decide where and when to stop for toilet breaks, etc. Nobody is going to object to a break of a few minutes.

In other words, this would have been a perfectly normal rest break if not for the religious aspect. So no, the editors are not wrong.

I’m not sure there’s much chance of them surviving a surrender either

Yes it’s not against the rules, but that is probably more an indicator that the rules could use some tweaking. You yourself agree it’s ‘eye-stabby’. Why would you not want to prevent such unpleasantness, then?

Is that really enough to generate sufficient heat to start a fire?

In case of a short circuit, yes, more than sufficient

unsubstantiated

The incredibly detailed, lengthy, and impeccably sourced Reuters report wasn’t enough?

I’m not sure anything is a right in the US, except the right to carry guns

That’s the issue with software patents. Everything is obvious at a certain level of knowledge
