  • Newsmax refuses to sign Trump admin’s new Pentagon press access policy

    Jump

  • Newsmax is conservative enough to get media access whether they sign it or not; the goal of the policy is ultimately censorship, allowing the Pentagon to selectively enforce it against liberal and moderate publications that don't parrot their fascist propaganda.

  • Aside from the aforementioned Discord server not being directly mine (nor are most of the community's users on the Threadiverse, unfortunately), not only is there a difference between linking to a community Discord server on an associated Lemmy community versus doing so on a Lemmy news community, but the ownership structure and organizational goals of Discord (its gradual commercialization, walled garden, and degradation aside) are a far cry from Twitter being owned by a fascist, transphobic billionaire largely responsible for getting Trump elected.

  • They still could have made their own post with a proper article as the post URL rather than directing additional traffic to a right-wing social media platform.

  • Surely there's a better source you could have linked to than Twitter.

  • Flow chart for choosing a Linux distribution

    Jump

  • Next to ElementaryOS, similar is misspelled 'simillar'. I'll bookmark this since I plan on switching to Linux rather than to Windows 11. Out of curiosity, if SteamOS is ultimately just an immutable version of Arch Linux, is the immutability of SteamOS what classifies it as 'beginner-friendly'? In terms of usability, in my efforts to customize SteamOS on the Steam Deck, I found the immutability to be a severe detriment to the user's ability to install system packages to install basic functionality to replicate Windows features, such as Mint Stick (the only simple, GUI-based USB formatting tool I could find for Linux).

  • Harris on Trump: ‘We’re dealing with a communist dictator’

    Jump

  • He's a fascist dictator, not a communist one. And when the 'titans of industry' care more about their bottom line than democratic principles, that's a sign to rally against them, not frame one's argument with an echo of McCarthyism.

  • John Giannandrea out as Siri chief, Apple Vision Pro lead in

    Jump

  • The problem is that Apple's extensive marketing of Apple Intelligence has led to expectations that far surpass what the final product is likely to be.

    Most people think generative AI is magic coming out of a hat, so even if Apple delivers at the same level as other companies, people will feel like they've been misled.

  • That's a symptom of Google holding a monopoly over search results.

    Real reporting will always cost more to produce than AI-generated propaganda, and if the former has a paywall and the latter doesn't, people will inevitably end up reading the news that takes the least effort to produce, to the detriment of actual news reporting.

    Requiring Google to both carry such content and pay for it at least ensures that it has an even footing with websites seeking to push propaganda instead.

  • The problem is that society has transitioned to a point where most people essentially go to Google and Facebook for all their information. Given the monopolistic power of such platforms on public opinion, there is a very strong societal interest to ensure that actual news, not merely the propaganda of the highest bidder, is what people have access to.

    The responsibility of Google to pay for it can be argued, but as real reporting will always cost more to produce than AI slop pushed by propagandists, there is arguably a public interest in that as well. The alternative is legitimate news more often than not ending up with more ads and paywalls than propaganda, which will just result in more people reading sources based on less reliable reporting.
