Simple answer: it’s greed and a legal racket.

You probably will be told no. However, it never hurts to ask. I would go for bring your own device as that will allow you to set it up in a way that works for you.

QuantumSpecter , to news in Media Bias Fact Check - Automation

I think the bot is crap based on this: The Guardian Media Bias Fact Check Credibility: [Medium]

The guardian is one of the best newspapers on the planet and published content exposing such as the Panama Papers.

@Rooki@lemmy.world avatar

Thats your opinion. Thats the whole reason we added the bot. To give people a second opinion, if they need to trust it or even read it. Is on your own responsibility.

Krauerking ,

People like quick answers and barely even read the articles. All you are doing is giving ammunition to those types to easily dismiss anything and drag the conversation because of a private credibility rating.

It’s a bad idea.

Talisman ,

Agreed, just came back to Lemmy and I see some wannabe Snopes spamming every post with Authority

Krauerking ,

Seriously people seem built on the idea that authority to make claims about anything confidently comes from looking at a Wikipedia article or ai breakdown for 5 seconds. It’s making me think they need to be deplatformed just like any other conspiracy theories on the right.

QuantumSpecter ,

okay, , how does website/bot reach its conclusions on Fact Check Credibility?

spittingimage , to asklemmy in Men in their 40s, what’s one piece of advice for men in their 20s?
@spittingimage@lemmy.world avatar

I ain’t trying to scare you, but if you live a statistically average life you’re about to hit a downward trend in your mood which will last a couple of decades. By the time you’re thirty you’ll likely have a boss, a spouse and kids, all of whose needs will have to come before yours. Things start to improve again at age 47 when the kids have moved out and you’re at the top of your career.

Maintain your friendships. It’s so easy to make them a low priority, but having good friends and being a good friend to them is the way to make it through.

Revan343 , to showerthoughts in We really accepted toilet paper as the definitive way to wipe our asses isn't?

Because toilet paper can be flushed, but baby wipes should go in a garbage bin?

ryannathans ,

Flushable paper based wet wipes exist

Revan343 ,

Proof or gtfo; being labelled ‘flushable’ is not proof, they are lying

ryannathans ,
Openopenopenopen ,

flushable in the us means it can go down the toilet. However, Wastewater treatment plants have to remove these from the wastewater, as they do not break down the same as poop, or in same case they don’t break down at all.

hopefully the Aussie government has define flushable differently than the us.

It’s very expensive problem. At least in the USA. My spouse works in waste water treatment and hates “flushable” wipes with a fiery passion.

Very US-centric problem, we solved this in Australia

Update: After extensive input from public wastewater bodies and industry experts including Kimberly-Clark Australia (the maker of Kleenex® Flushable Wipes), Standards Australia published a new, AU & NZ-specific, Flushable Products Standard (AS/NZS 5328:2022). The Standard details clear testing criteria that need to be met for manufacturers to use a “flushable” label in accordance with the Standard.

We welcome the introduction of the new Standard and are proud to announce that Kleenex Flushable Wipes meet and exceed the requirements of the Australia/New Zealand Flushable Products Standard (AS/NZS 5328:2022)

My roommate refuses to acknowledge that key difference. I just hope I’m out of the apartment before it becomes my problem.

Revan343 ,

Being in an apartment, good chance it gets to the building-wide plumbing before clogging, and so wouldn’t be traced back to you. Of course, that would still leave you (and the rest of the building) without plumbing for a while whenever it actually does clog

BlameThePeacock , to nostupidquestions in Trolley problem Pt. 2: A cancer hospital, limited funds, patients of various ages and conditions. Should there be a universal answer?

We already have an answer to this, it’s literally how hospitals work in every Universal healthcare country. It’s generally decided on using a base of the factors you mentioned, plus a few more (like the resources available in the region). Doctors also generally get a say as a group at the hospital, they all take ethics classes at school for a reason.

BlameThePeacock , (edited )

To add further to this idea of managing death, the government does this all the time for other industries too.

For example they balance speed limits for cars (deaths vs utility for transportation)

They set maximum allowed concentrations of harmful chemicals in food and water (100% vs Good enough)

The list goes on and on.

bionicjoey ,

For example they balance speed limits for cars (deaths vs utility for transportation)

In North America they do a shit job of this particular balancing act

BlameThePeacock ,

Do they? What would you prefer to see?

bionicjoey ,

Much slower speed limits as well as physical traffic calming measures to limit how fast people are comfortable going on streets in cities. Currently the way it’s handled is mostly by trying to optimize for car throughput. There is no consideration to the safety of pedestrians or cyclists, nor really of the risk to drivers at higher speeds in a collision. North American cities are so drunk on car-centric approaches to urban planning that they can’t comprehend how to build cities that are actually conducive to human life anymore.

BlameThePeacock ,

And how much would lower speed limits cost the economy?

How many dollars per human life saved would you like?

bionicjoey ,

Lol

Sure it would save lives, but millions would be late!

Don’t care what others think. His physical actions and reactions on Seinfeld crack me up.

@tmpod@lemmy.pt avatar

Kitty has been my daily driver for quite some time now, I really like it for its rich feature set and extensive configuration.

You can use its goto_tab action with 0 and negative values to get MRU behaviour. See more here: sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/actions/-goto_tab

AdamBomb OP ,

OK, this sounds close to what I want, but I left one part unsaid: my muscle memory is such that if I want to visit the 2nd most recent tab, I can hold Ctrl, press Tab twice, then release Ctrl. It doesn’t sound like I can accomplish this with Kitty key bindings, or can I?

@tmpod@lemmy.pt avatar

Just tested* and it doesn’t seem to work, no. I don’t know if it’s doable though, it may be.

  • Even though I’m a heavy user of that behaviour in Firefox (which now has to be explicitly turned on :/), I’ve gotten used to just use the left and right arrows (+kitty mod bind) to move around tabs.

Thanks, I’m open to learning alternative workflows, so thanks for adding that info.

greenskye ,

Lemmy seems to have inherited all the snark of Reddit, with very little of the ‘random expert reads post and chimes in with cool anecdote’ that Reddit used to have. I miss that.
