The headline also does not say the same thing that the post claims!

Headline: “15% of content” --> every 6th or 7th post or comment is a corporate troll

Article: “15% of subreddits contain” --> the vast majority of subreddits contain no troll content

Actual study: [file not found]

I also cannot find any Pew research study resembling the one described. The link is a 2017 report that doesn’t mention reddit.

It’s called a jazz bar and they’re not that great.

Lol the greyzone is a great source, if you’d like to know what the Putin regime says about something.

Just weird to say “I don’t trust reporting from a state-influenced source. I’ll wait until I hear reporting from media owned by a different state with an even more vested interest.”

Al jazeera is literally the Qatari state media.

Unpopular opinion: I have a second phone logged into my kid’s YT account. I train the algorithm while he’s sleeping.

It takes a significant time, and YouTube doesn’t have good options for blocking content, but it helps keep out the worst of the brainrot.

Hi, mod here.

In the future, please avoid sharing links from news aggregators. Sharing from the original source helps community health by providing transparency, and allows others to avoid reposting the same article.

I keep adding oils of varying viscosities but it doesn’t seem to help.

But have you tried more cowbell?

Hi, Mod here:

The community rules don’t allow posting complete article text. Please edit this post to one or two key paragraphs to avoid removal.

These rules help keep our community safe, legal, and usable for everyone.

I can’t attest to any as I don’t use PDFs this way, but here are a few links:

Stirling PDF

PdfDing

BentoPDF

All of these are self-hostable and FOSS. I’m not sure about NextCloud integration.

I think you may be thinking of LibreOffice

And a lot of people graduate at 30. Or 60. Life experience and more readiness than you would have had 2 years ago is not a drawback - it’s a benefit.

Yeah, it’s better if you can have the computer on all the time, but it only needs to be running when you access it.

I’m not that familiar with FreshRSS, but in general apps will only update at opening (not in the background) for most syncing operations. You may have to do more manual syncing than you would like.

Water is weirdly one of the only materials that is lighter (less dense) in its solid form. That’s why ice cubes float.

When a mass expands, it ALWAYS becomes less dense.

Water does not “trap” air molecules as is freezes, although water may contain dissolved gasses.

Torah teaches that God created human beings with both good and evil impulses. Human beings uniquely have knowledge of our drives and impulses and can learn to master them. The same needs that drive us to consume can lead us to overconsume or do so unethically. Our animal drive for safety and security can also lead us to attack perceived threats.

According to this philosophy, evil comes from people misdirecting divinely given attributes.

The idea of good and evil as absolute “powers” independent of human choices is foreign to many philosophies and theologies.

One of the weirdest facts I know is that “pter” means wing and “helico” means spiral, so a wing that moves in a helix is a helico-pter. That’s the root, not heli-copter.

I think it’s fair to say not all AI is AI slop.

This is a user, not a community. They are downvoting across communities, including stalking people across communities to downvote all of their posts and comments, following communities just to downvote every post and comment, etc.

They downvote over 99% of the posts they see. Why seek out content you don’t like? It’s mildly infuriating. To me at least.
