Propublica is the shit, they’re the only ones I consider old school and have real reporting. All the rest are 50/50 at best. This isn’t always the reporter’s fault, it could be the pubs release ai half-backed crap or the headline guy is on bribery uppers.

Thanks for explaining it to me. I’ll let it be.

What is this meme about? I’m not a developer, so I have no idea. I’m speaking as mod and deciding whether to pull it…

Have you ever noticed that people get all nitpicky when they want to distract from the original message?

If you don’t hate bluesky, that’s an option as well: https://fed.brid.gy/

They might be? Federation isn’t great for all of the big boys.

You are a genius (fr):

Side note, get yourself a universal remote so you can change the channel on TVs in public spaces like gyms and waiting rooms.

Churches, schools no longer off limits for immigration enforcement

Amen.

I would also add to stop reading articles with hyperbole and only read about trump if it effects you or your community. The more we give him air time, the more we give him power. If the news outlets don’t make money through him, then they might stop promoting his bullshit.

I’ve not forgotten that a NYT reporter was asked during the first term if he would prefer Obama or trump and he said trump because it got him so much better clicks. (paraphrased). I’m over it.

Choose a smaller instance. The biggest one isn’t accepting people right now.

…when life becomes cheap, it will be spent cheaply…

dude, I’ve never seen it put that way before. That’s the underlying theme for fascists. Send them to war, take away their benefits, stop them from having choices in life. It really doesn’t matter to them because life is cheap. I’m going to get drunk this weekend I think.

“We can never work out the algorithm,” one of the drivers says, requesting anonymity for fear of losing work. They wonder if the app ignores them if they’ve done a few jobs already that hour, and experiment with standing inside the restaurant, on the pavement or in the car park to see if subtle shifts in geolocation matter. Retail assistants say they have to pay a fee if they want to receive their wages within a month. ‘So immoral’: gig economy workers charged fee to get paid quicker Read more

“It’s an absolute nightmare,” says the driver, adding that they permanently lost access to one of the platforms over a matter of a “max five minutes” wait in getting to a restaurant while he finished another job for a different app. Sometimes he gets logged out for a couple of hours because his beard has grown, confusing the facial recognition software.

“It’s not at all like being an employee,” he says. He is regularly frustrated by having to challenge what appeared to be shortfall in pay per job – sometimes just 10p, but at other times a few pounds. “There’s nobody you can talk to. Everything is automated.”

Not to brag (I am), but we banned direct links awhile ago on People Twitter. We require archived links for well known people and politicians and allow screenshots. That seems to be a working solution.

FYI, those were trolls. You can tell by them disappearing about these topics right after the election. Also, the spamming they did on a very precise schedule.

No worries, we’re all frustrated right now.

That’s not how this works, lol.

Does that mean that every instance is populated with my photos? Meaning, if I change instances or mine goes down, will I still have my pics?

Well you guys made everyone poor and want to kick out all the people that wanna move here

“You guys”? I didn’t vote for the orange guy, just like I’m assuming you didn’t.

We have a no direct links to x on peopletwitter, but for famous people and politicians you have to provide an archived link. That helps keep the fakes and low effort posts out.

I’m pretty sure most people here on Lemmy didn’t vote to elect him.
