YSK: Even though it isn't a foolproof criterion, the fact that a claimed "news" source is offered "completely free (as in free beer)" may suggest that it is poor quality
Why YSK: good journalism has a lot of costs (and not one-time-only), in time if not in money, so if any “news” source isn’t at least trying to get paid somehow*, then it indicates that the supply at zero price exceeds the demand (it is a “free good”), which means one of two things:...

Do you think that dating is hard sometimes...?
Two weeks ago, I had a date with a girl I met through a dating app. She was really nice, we had a great conversation and she told in person at the bar she would love to see me again....
Favorite retrogaming Youtube channels?

What’s left of my childhood NES games (i.imgur.com)
Not pictured: Bible Adventures. I know I had more but I must have traded some in. I for sure had Jaws and Jack Nicklaus Golf. And here’s the console. I replaced the 72 pin connector and she runs perfectly still. SO CLEAN inside. I couldn’t believe how spotless it was when I opened it up.

YSK that “neoliberal” refers to a discrete set of economic policies including deregulation, privatization, and so-called “free trade” implemented by both center-right and center-left parties
Why YSK: I’ve noticed in recent years more people using “neoliberal” to mean “Democrat/Labor/Social Democrat politicians I don’t like”. This confusion arises from the different meanings “liberal” has in American politics and further muddies the waters....
Reddit’s decline will look more like Tumblr’s than Digg’s
Even in its prime, Tumblr was never profitable. It was sold and resold to several companies who never had a clear vision for what to do with it, other than run ads to generate revenue. Its main draw was its users. For several years it was the social media platform for LGBTQ and fandoms, along with many niche interests....
YSK: Transparent images can look great on Lemmy
Why YSK: Transparent background images often don’t look very nice on Reddit, but they can be quite sleek over here. For some examples just look at the profile pictures of mod list for this community on the sidebar. They also work well for communities. Be careful to pick colors that aren’t too dark or too light, and which...
What is 196?
What does “rule” mean? Is there any common theme to what is posted there? Is it humor? Is it a massive Reddit inside joke?...
