You know Nintendo is just weird.

They file a patent lawsuit against an indie game, just because someone finally got popular. But why don’t thay sue digimon or blue dragon, and while their at it, howtotrain a dragon while their at it.

This whole thing is just weird.

Not sure how to fel about this, but if they are honest about the labels and accurate 100% of the time with labeling it’s a nice feature for independant fact checkers

Yes, nonprofit doesn’t mean unbiased. But, they do tend to report content in a public interest perspective, rather than a specific political leaning. Public interest may sometimes happen to lean a certain way. This is why I prefer them, you can atleast know that they’l report on some topics that people want to hear.

While a corporate news organization is going to report what *they want to report, based on their specific political leaning and/or their profit driving goals.

I heard of services like this that do this or similar I haven’t;t actually checked one out long enough to see how well it works myself.

Not a bad source actually since, you’re atleast getting mostly stories posted/shared by regular individuals and not a search engine algorithm throwing the same few sites all the time at you.

I use Lemmy as one of my secondary primary sources for news, while not my major, which happens to be a small handful of nonprofit ones. For tech news particularly, Lemmy users tend to do pretty good at sharing some good stories.

The Fediverse is still a new concept and it’s gaining more usage then most other open source social medias. It’s the best we have, and more and more people land on it. (atleast going by some Mastodon metrics.) It’s not the biggest, but it’s actually impressive for an an opensource project what you do have for it’s userbase. I wish some people would understand that to an extent.

Anything to prevent getting my i.d in a database, i would actually be ok with using an ai to verify my age by my appearance if it really came down to it and I had to choose legally some form of age verification.

Some might have different tastes, but teenagers in a larger scale tend to not care about rules and will break them if they feel they’re restricted. Depending on what it is, this could be things such as, getting out to some dance, or using social media without parental consent and faking age.

The Fediverse by design prevents this, while the internet of the old age had little if any guardrails against this specially since the platforms never really federated with another.

Did forum sites even federate? One forum sites would be dead and the next would have more activity. But what if the other forum with less activity was the one you wanted to use? The old internet was a good start but there’s a reason why it’s dominated by Instagram and Facebook, while email, you can use mostly any provider and not feel like you’re left out.

See the screenshot isn’t intended to be a summary but a selected portion I react to with a select post. If someone wants to read the full story, it’s linked to.

I, or if it’s not a post I created then the op usually provides the link to the article and if any one were to ask me I would always tell them to read the article for full context.

Remember the purpose of ads is to advertise a product that might potentially sell. Quality control isn’t always a priority it’s capitalism after all. At the end of the day, if you just want to block ads, just block ads.

No. Just no. Not even going to highlight anything from this article.

This is a good point actually. That’s almost like trying to ban Naruto because it’s Japanese, but not banning Dragonball Z. We’l see where this goes. If they would enforce these law equally it wouldn’t be as much of a concern. Overall, whether they ban TikTok or not, if as a user you don’t like a said platform, just don’t use it.

It doesn’t take much time or effort to do. If I highlight one or two things, then when I read it again, I’l have to gasp read through a good portion of the article again.

Sometimes there is more then just two things to highlight.

It’s highlighting, what’s wrong with that? I thought it was an improvement from my earlier posts where I was blocking out filler to narrow down the article.

I highlight the parts I want to read if I were to revisit the article, to narrow it down and save time. Could be useful for users too who just want to get the story and not read a lot of filler.

It’s not an ai summary because if it was the wording would had been different from the article. The content featured in the screenshot is from the article and I manually draw attention to parts I am interested in and also to narrow things down. I started highlighting instead of redacting just so people wouldn’t say i’m censoring.

For those who think it’s an ai summary idk what to tell you.

Has a distinctive look.

Not really, teenagers naturally want to socialize. It’s pretty normal. Is it the best thing? no.

This can be problematic for Peertube’s adoption.

If user only uses Peertube to upload, they likely wouldn’t notice a thing from this, but if it’s a creator from Youtube that’s trying to upload to multiple platforms this can cause major problems for ease of use and since the Peertube user base is small to begin with, this can potentially damage Peertube in the long run.

The article at the end of the day is there. Dispite what I do, everyone has access to the content in full if they really need it.

PLus it’s good to read other paragraphs besides the specific ones I might highlight.
