THE FACT CHECK FILES: Inside the secretive and lucrative fact checking industry behind a foreign-funded bid to censor Voice debate

  • Look, I’m as sceptical of “fact check” stuff as anyone, but please don’t use Sky as news

    • Barbie And Baldur’s Gate 3 Prove That Go Woke, Go Broke Doesn’t Exist

  • What’s hilarious/infuriating about this stuff is that when it’s done poorly, it falls over by itself.

    Then it gets called out with cries of “go woke, go broke”, when in reality it’s closer to “make shit, get hit”.

    • Canada demands Meta lift news ban to allow wildfire info sharing

  • Australia tried it and gave in.

    • Why is lemmy.world defederating from hexbear.net?

  • After reading the chunk about the maidan protests, I suspect it’s less outright lying and more the fact that they’re holding a very biased pro-Russian, view of the events.

    • What discontinued feature do you miss from phones or other technologies?

  • Yeah, but that needs to patch each app.

    Root level ad blocking was apply once

    • What food did you not try until you were an adult? Did you have a "where have you been all my life" moment?

  • Olives.

    I just didn’t like them, even olive oil cooking turned my stomach, now I love it all

    • You need to send an API Request to apply for a job in this company

  • SAP, the worst thing to come out of Germany since WW2

    • What discontinued feature do you miss from phones or other technologies?

  • Yeah, but I mostly did it for ad blocking.

    I was able to strip ads out of games too, super effective.

    iOS does everything else, and I still have an android tablet

    • What discontinued feature do you miss from phones or other technologies?

  • Shits me off that rooting the phone immediately blocks most banking apps.

    After a few years of playing cat and mouse with the workarounds for safety net I finally said fuck it.

    If they’re going to force me to live with an unrooted phone, I might as well have shit that works with the rest of my families eco-system and go iPhone.

    • TikTok has been pushing Chinese propaganda to millions of users in Europe: analysis

  • What TikTok does to a MF.

    • TikTok has been pushing Chinese propaganda to millions of users in Europe: analysis

  • …why would you read either of them?

    • TikTok has been pushing Chinese propaganda to millions of users in Europe: analysis

  • Exactly. It’s all propaganda, and to say “oh well Facebook is ok, so why pick on TikTok” is the hottest of takes.

    They’re all garbage and we should ban all of them.

    • Fear, loathing, and excitement as Threads adopts open standard used by Mastodon

  • I’m incredibly surprised that Wired (the original source) didn’t mention that there’s precedent for the fediverse’s concerns in Gchat/XAMPP

    • Unemployment has caused suicide in Australia, new research finds

  • Yeah. Good old “honest” John keeps giving.

    Most destructive PM we’ve ever had.

    • Unemployment has caused suicide in Australia, new research finds

  • Look, why don’t they just move in with their parents or take on a housemate?

    • The urinal in this restaurant I went to had crazy pipes and lights

  • That looks amazing and I want it.

    • Truths and Lies of the Electric Bike UTOPIA

  • Nah, on bike it’d add too much to my commute

    • TIL that 80% of Australian homes are colder than is recommended by the WHO safety standards for indoor air temperature.

  • Yup. We’re living with the mistakes of the past and no one wants to fix it for the future.

    Fucking moronic people who looked at the Queenslander and thought, “that’s PERFECT for a giant paddock of a Territory that regularly drops below freezing!”

    And then 80 years of builders followed suit, but each iteration they stripped more of the charm out.

    • Wonder how long it will take for the "Average Joe" to care about these things

  • Never.

    Just look at what happens on Reddit when Mastodon is brought up in the Threads/Twitter wars.

    “Ohhhh it’s too haaaaard to use. What does it matter about a little privacy loss anyway?”

    • Do you think DuckDuckGo is a good choice for people who are concerned about their privacy?

  • Plus one for Kagi.

    It’s pretty decent!
