Betteridge’s law of headlines is an adage that states: “Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no.”

Checks out.

Unpopular opinion: “the other side is just bots” is the new “the other side is just paid protestors.”

Bot warfare is a very real and very serious form of information warfare but the idea that any particular political actor is using it disproportionately is pretty difficult to prove. This article, for example, identifies a study which found a third of internet traffic is made up of “bad bots.” The study shows that the VAST majority of bad bot traffic is targeting Gaming (virtual currency farming), IT (DDoS), and Data Scraping, with propaganda bots making up less than 2%.

Weird, I’ve never seen that one. A little unnerving tbh - and a reminder to use good tracking protection! Above is an archive link, and there is actually quite a bit of excellent reporting on this if you want to search for more.

I won’t use this source in the future.

That’s a funny way to say that she was repeatedly assaulted and beaten to death in an extrajudicial execution. For the crime of having only most of her hair covered while shopping.

That makes the most sense to me

Translocation of 2,000 rhinos in Africa gets underway in “one of the most audacious conservation efforts of modern times” (www.discoverwildlife.com)

“It is a massive privilege to be part of such a conservation initiative,” says Donovan Jooste, wildlife NGO African Parks’ Rhino Rewilding Project Manager, who is overseeing the 2,000+ rhinos. “The opportunity we have to de-risk a species at scale is incredibly exciting.”

Building My Home Server | Kev Quirk (kevquirk.com)

I came across this blog today while searching and I’m finding it very detailed, human, and instructive. For a beginner like me, this kind of resource is invaluable. What does a server failure feel like at a personal level? How do you make decisions about cost or utilizing existing hardware? These kind of thoughtful reflections...

What are some important things that have changed in the past five years that would change some if the choices?

gedaliyah OP ,
@gedaliyah@lemmy.world avatar

Thanks, this is one of the few truly beginner-friendly blogs I’ve found (not just this post, but the entire blog). It would be great for people to suggest some other more up-to-date resources for someone starting out. Specifically, this blog talks about trying and comparing different setups, factoring in costs, time commitments, dealing with setbacks, preparing for different use cases, etc.

There are lots of resources that share technical details, how-tos, system specs, etc., but not many that I’ve found walking through the decision making process including what worked and what didn’t and why.

Domestic violence is one of the best researched, least acted upon social problems. We could literally fix 99% of the problem, and we know how to do it, and it would not be that expensive. But we don’t implement it because the people who are most in need of public help are predominantly poor black women.

For about a year or two, windows had an amazing search from the menu that used a blazing fast index search to search files, directories, and file contents locally and almost instantaneously. It was a glorious thing.

I cannot think of a case in which a user would not need to distinguish between web search and file search (other than the convenience of a single click). I do use a unified search on my phone that includes files, apps, and contacts, and if it’s not in any of those, it will launch a web search using the query. That is more than adequate. If it were performing the web search in real time, I wouldn’t be able to easily access apps and contacts, and the results would slow and change while typing.

gedaliyah ,
@gedaliyah@lemmy.world avatar

Part of the issue with web results is that it would generally update as you type which is just a bad fit for a general menu search. I personally don’t see a place for it. If you are searching the web, you’re going to open the browser anyway. Maybe some users would use it to navigate directly to common websites, sort of like bookmarks? I don’t know.

FTC bans most noncompete agreements between employers and workers (www.npr.org)

The FTC estimates about 30 million people, or one in five American workers, from minimum wage earners to CEOs, are bound by noncompetes. It says the policy change could lead to increased wages totaling nearly $300 billion per year by encouraging people to swap jobs freely.

gedaliyah OP ,
@gedaliyah@lemmy.world avatar

Hopefully it sticks.

The dissenting commissioners, Melissa Holyoak and Andrew Ferguson, argued that the FTC was overstepping the boundaries of its power. Holyoak predicted the ban would be challenged in court and eventually struck down.

That ratio is comparable to other embedded urban warfare. The UN estimates that 90% of casualties in modern wars have been civilians.

gedaliyah OP ,
@gedaliyah@lemmy.world avatar

You’re misunderstanding. Civilian casualties are a tragic reality of war, even moreso during embedded urban warfare, and even more when an enemy has had time to dig in (about 20 years in this case). Hamas combat units do not include women (although they do use child soldiers). This indicates that far more Hamas fighters were killed than previously reported.
