  • Even so, there is a societal interest in objective news being available to the public, which means that search engines should be required to carry such content, profitable or not. All the more so due to Google's monopolistic grip on the search engine market.

  • 'Today, we celebrate': Judge says National Park Service must reinstate all fired employees

    Jump

  • We can celebrate if and when they're actually reinstated and the people who put them out of a job are put out of a job themselves.

  • and wreck an ugly MAGA lie

    The problem is that MAGA people either don't know about the problem, don't care about the problem, or would actively harm foreigners (or American minorities, for that matter) if it put even a penny in their pocket or made them feel superior.

    Only the people that already know the republicans are lying their pants off know it's a lie, a fact worsened by corporate news media and social media firms censoring the virality of anything that could hurt the far-right.

  • There's already been major backlash, is the author living under a rock?

  • Donald Trump's Gen Z popularity plunges

    Jump

  • While an overload of mindless far-right, conservative, bigoted, and transphobic videos on TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram, and similar posts on Facebook and Twitter, undoubtedly played a large part in indoctrinating so many people (as has been the case in countries such as Hungary and Turkey), it's still crazy that so many people were suckered in by Trump's lies about reducing inflation, when his first term in office proved how shitty he was, as well as the reason why Roe vs. Wade was overturned. It shouldn't have taken countless constitutional violations in only the first month of a second term as president for people to realize that.

    If corporate oligarchs haven't fully dismantled what remains of the country's severely flawed democracy in four years' time, then there's every chance that they'll buy the presidency again in 2028, apathetic to the rise of fascism and the dismantlement of civil rights.

  • Are You Ready to Let an AI Agent Use Your Computer? AI agents from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google want to lighten your load.

  • Something that only it seems to have, versus the others I compared it to, is a "headline" view for the feed. It's essentially an extra compact version of the compact view, putting the post's community name in line with the upvote, downvote, comment counts and post age. Only saves a bit of space compared to the comparison I made a few minutes ago in trying Thunder's compact view, but most of all it makes the feed less cluttered, in my opinion.

    Apple changes Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America on maps

    Jump

  • Deleted Apple Maps in favor of Organic Maps at the suggestion of another Lemmy user yesterday. Although it lacks live traffic data, given the lack of centralized userbase location tracking, and scrolling on the map could be a bit smoother at times, I'd rather use it than a platform willing to implement fascist place names.

    I'm hoping that toll road avoidance also works better with Organic Maps, since Apple Maps oddly seems unable to give non-toll directions if you accidentally get on a toll road and exit to return to a non-toll routing.

  • Trump announces task force to ‘eradicate anti-Christian bias’

    Jump

  • He's off to a bad start; announcements like that only serve to increase anti-Christian bias, mine included.

  • Price Per Square Inch for TVs by size

    Jump

  • At least in the case of the Hisense TV I got for my grandparents, a "glitch" with accessibility controls (makes directional inputs unresponsive or multi-press at times) just so happens to make remapping the sponsored remote buttons impossible, as well as breaking the most common method of changing the system launcher, so screen size alone isn't everything.

    Although Hisense still tries to reinstall sponsored apps after I delete them, using Launcher Manager to set a custom launcher that allows for the hiding of unwanted applications and channels made it much more usable for my grandparents.

    Unfortunately I wasn't able to redirect YouTube voice input commands to SmartTube Next, so if I ever replace it, that'll be a factor in my decision too.

  • Pro-Trump Arab American group changes its name after the president's Gaza 'Riviera' comments

    Jump

  • That's the equivalent of them being thankful for Israeli "investment" in building settlements after killing or displacing Palestinians and stealing their land. How anyone, let alone Arab Americans, could see it any other way, is far beyond me.

  • The /r/piracy link to lemmy /c/piracy hit the reddit frontpage with 7K+ updoots!

  • Hopefully at least half of them stick around; the MAU count is much more impactful in terms of post frequency and variety than the total number of users in general.

  • Also deceptive for them to list it on the Play Store as having 500,000,000 "downloads", when the vast majority of those are non-consensual automatic installations.
