Maybe a call centre operated by map producers, intended more for questions about routes and conditions rather than “take the third left” kind of navigation.

There are certainly criticisms to be made but “dismantling the entire thing” is not the way.

This is the solution.

All names have problems but this one has the least.

Ok so after a quick read it looks like they bundled some software which allowed third parties to eavesdrop on https traffic with a fairly trivial hack?

I’ve had lenovo laptop’s forever. I could be described as a fan boy. I’d never heard about this. It’s never nice to hear that something you’re a fan of has problems like this.

I guess the only mitigating factor is that it wasn’t intentional on Lenovo’s part.

You’ve misunderstood my concern.

I despise Trump and this vapid weirdo.

I suspect that if a MAGA idiot was posting in this way users would be quick to point out that it’s not appropriate for a news community.

That said, I don’t want to make a big deal out of it. Do what you like.

No it’s not. You personally might like it but if it were the consensus people would use it and this question wouldn’t be asked every week.

“Fact checking” only those articles you disagree with is editorialising.

I swear these guys sit down every morning and make a list of all the messed up shit they’ve done, then issue a press release saying the dems did all that stuff.

I hate trump as much as the next guy but I have to wonder whether it’s appropriate to editorialise posts like this?

Like linking to an article, and then providing a rebuttal in the post body. I mean it’s funny as hell in this case, but would it be more appropriate as a comment?

Mad respect to flyingsquid, prolific poster, commenter, and active mod. No rules being broken of course. I’m just concerned it might not be the right practice for a news community.

If it were a conservative perspective with MAGA editorial I sure wouldn’t appreciate it.

What does this business do? Is it just a shitcoin? The archive link only has half the article.

Well if you don’t care what I think why bother with the propaganda?

There’s never been any consensus that I’m aware of. All the suggestions are cringey.

We’re just users.

Define “the internet” though…

If you’re expecting “the internet” to fill your cup with joy then sure, that’s probably not going to work out.

That said, there’s plenty of good bits that make life a lot easier.

These are certificates that a company purchases to show it is buying renewable energy-generated electricity to match a portion of its electricity consumption – the catch, though, is that the renewable energy in question doesn’t need to be consumed by a company’s facilities. Rather, the site of production can be anywhere from one town over to an ocean away.

If I understand this correctly, a tech firm with a data centre in Melbourne could buy RECs from Helsinki, pocket the certificate, and on-sell the energy to someone who needed it in Helsinki without the certificate?

Ok kiddo, I’m just gonna tell you the brutal truth.

Everyone likes the cheap stuff China makes, but we’re not comfortable with how they run things, so every time we’re reminded that they’re going to be the dominant global super power by 2100 we freak out a bit.

Conversely, Muslims killing Muslims in a country that doesn’t make anything we want isn’t that important.

I’m not saying this is how things ought to be, but it is how things are.

Turns out a rich person can just buy a social media platform and fuck with elections and stuff.

“These migrants living in poverty have manageable and treatable health conditions!”

God this article is annoying to read.

What did Vance actually say ?

Did he say something analogous to “I admit that I created the pet-eating story about immigrants” ? Who knows?

No, Putin would need to say a few nice things about the size of Trumps crowds, so the US would at least get some value out of the deal.

The section you’ve quoted explains what the rules are if there is no dispute. It does not explain how to resolve a dispute.
