wonderfulvoltaire , to world in China threatens death penalty for 'diehard' Taiwan separatists

China can fuck right off

hedek36960 ,

Why?

Aurenkin ,

Well, I think the latest reason is that they are threatening the death penalty for ‘diehard’ supporters of Taiwan.

I can believe that they might be bad, but do you have a better alternative?

Like, part of the problem with evaluating the reliability of information online is a lack of context.

I would appreciate this mbfc content on smaller less well known sources but imo we can assume Reuters and other big names are already trusted.

Also this article is a simple reporting of unambiguous events that undoubtedly occurred so there's really no need to check the source. It's not an interpretation of a political situation.

Just trying to save you some time.

I wouldn’t be able to find a use for Alexa if they were paying me $10/month to use it.

I’d buy 2, start a neverending conversation going between them, and lock em away in the corner in the attic.

Buffalox , (edited ) to world in India's May oil imports: Russia at record high, Saudi lowest in 10-mth

This is working as intended, Ukraine attacks refineries, which makes it necessary for Russia to export crude oil at lower prices.
This way Ukraine can hit the Russian economy, without causing oil prices to increase on the global market, something Ukrainian allies have expressed concern about.
It is allegedly already causing difficulties for Russia to refine enough oil for their needs for their war against Ukraine, and that makes it necessary for Russia to export crude oil and buy some of it back at higher prices after it has been refined.

solo , (edited ) to world in Armenia recognises Palestinian statehood, says Armenian foreign ministry

Armenians know what genocide means.

So it looks that the State of Palestine is recognized as a sovereign state by 147 of the 193 member states of the United Nations. Hope I’m counting correctly and didn’t leave out a country, cause it looks like the relevant wiki page [International recognition of the State of Palestine] has not yet been updated. Not even for Ireland’s recognition of Palestine and that happened last month. Soon I hope.

For me the question remains. What could make the remaining white colonialists and Zionist settler colonialists change their minds and finally recognize Palestine, so that a 2-state solution is implemented.

They also know what collaborating with the Nazis is like.

How Armenia’s glorification of a Nazi collaborator has gone unnoticed

So I don’t think Armenia’s decision will have much of an effect. Maybe other countries.

solo ,

I haven’t heard about this before, so I can’t argue about it at this point.

Then you say:

So I don’t think Armenia’s decision will have much of an effect.

How you managed to draw this conclusion from your previous statement, is a mystery to me.

And since you mentioned Nazi collaborations, I’ll say the following. I noticed that the sources you provided the one is Zionist and the other Polish, and both collaborated with Nazis for sure.

Collaboration in German-occupied Poland - wiki

Billy , (edited )

How you managed to draw this conclusion from your previous statement, is a mystery to me.

A state that is currently glorifying Nazi collaborators will automatically be dismissed as hostile to Jews and to Israel. Any action of theirs in related matters is therefore irrelevant.
Unless they have a different goal. Like getting closer to states like Iran.

And since you mentioned Nazi collaborations, I’ll say the following. I noticed that the sources you provided the one is Zionist and the other Polish, and both collaborated with Nazis for sure.

How is that relevant to news sources?
I was pointing out that Armenia is currently glorifying a Nazi collaborator, building statues of him and calling him a hero. Not in the past.

Reuters and AP News are really the only two sources I pretty much implicitly trust anymore. As far as I’m concerned, the person reporting false news and attributing it to Reuters should be hung by the neck until dead.

Brunbrun6766 ,
@Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world avatar

What’s really frustrating is how many American news outlets are just taking AP and Reuters reports, and rehashing them with their own news readers.

Is there any way to get rss feeds directly from AP/Reuters any more?

I think Reuters only has a Best of feed from their agency side, which isn’t really that useful as a news feed. All their feeds seem to be shut down, at least the ones I had stopped working.

@Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world avatar

Oh I know, what I mean is when the major US outlets just say “A Reuters report says (XYZ)…and WE say that means ABCD!” like that is hardly good journalism, that’s more along the lines of glorified op-eds.

Why would that be frustrating? That’s explicitly what they’re for. And we’re better off for it.

Brunbrun6766 ,
@Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world avatar

The frustration is how AP and Reuters report the facts of what’s going on, and then the other outlets take that and TELL you how to feel about it rather than do their own fact finding

GiveMemes ,

Jsyk in this specific context it’s hanged. Weird right?

In this case, I don’t think its credibility matters beyond whether or not they’d lie about not actually saying something people claimed they said.

I trust Reuters more than I trust Media Bias Fact Check. I of course still vary my media diet, but they’re certainly a pillar of it.

Seem to remember that they had a big scandal with a climate change denier editor that changed some articles a few years ago. Good to remember that no oragnisation is above scrutiny.

YourPrivatHater , to world in Reuters denies reporting that Israel will attack Lebanon

People faked loads of shit regarding what Israel did or didn’t. These fake news aren’t really a new thing. Interesting that they now say reuters said something they just didn’t…

Crashumbc , to technology in Amazon Mulls $5 to $10 monthly price tag for unprofitable Alexa service, AI revamp

People are missing the point. This was ALWAYS the plan. Get Alexa in hundreds of thousands of homes and get everyone to used to using it. Than charge money.

Even if only a quarter of the users pay, they’ll make a ton of money.

PlexSheep ,

I see you are using than when you should be using then.

  • Then is for time, similar to when. "Back then"
  • Than is for comparisons. “I have more than you”

I mean, they accomplished the first part mostly because they are cheap connected speakers, but I have yet to meet anyone who doesn’t absolutely loath their home assistants. Got rid of mine (Both Google and Amazon) not just because they are a privacy nightmare, but because they are completely fucking infuriating to work with.

The exact same phrase is never guaranteed to have the same results. The assistant hardly ever answers a question right. It routinely takes repeated attempts to get it to control any of my connected lights. It responds to people that weren’t talking to it. I could keep going…

If they tried charging me for it before I rage quit them, I would have just rage quit sooner.
