  • I'm happy that it's not youtube but also disappointed that I can use FreeTube for subscribing..

    • Technology Connections: Tilting, taking turns, and winning free games: the many tricks inside old pinball machines

  • If anyone's curious, modern "virtual" pinballs, which are just a computer under a large screen inside a pinball frame, replicate this by using an accelerometer (like the one in our phones).

  • Wow, I definitely didn't expect that "Factual Reporting" would be "Mixed", however going through the list, it shows several instances where they misunderstood either a scientific paper or misrepresented some fact.
    That said, I had before in some cases seen articles about AI being either false, misunderstanding the facts, or just parroting some CEO. I attributed it to AI being something relatively "new" to mainstream media, but this is pretty much eye opening.

    I like their "long read" articles though, but I guess it's time to find a new main everyday paper for me...

    • Estonia Says Russia Removed Narva River Buoys Marking Border

  • The experience for this last year was that once the US stopped supporting Ukraine, the rest of the west folded as well, which let them regain the initiative.
    I know nothing about anything but it seems like they've learned that with enough patience the US and most NATO allies support will wane with time.

    • Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom at 40: Spielberg’s hit-and-miss relic

  • Do you mean all their journalism pieces are trash or just some of their opinion pieces like this one?
