That really sucks. Good to know. I was thinking about getting a yoga but now I know to avoid. Hope the windows live disk works, be careful about it nuking your grub install.

I’m assuming you’ve already seen how to update without installing windows using the windows PE

You can’t natively load the .fd from the bios screen?

And how pray tell, are you paying for that without a job?

Oh jeez. I see now.

I love this idea. Matroiska Linux let’s go

You’ll be able to read when they have any appreciable impact without those keywords in the headline though.

Facebook is ad revenue and an echo chamber repeating talking points from propaganda mills of external state actors. TikTok won’t be an appreciable factor until 2026 when the mass majority of those viewers are eligible to vote. Also those TikToks usually are soundbites from podcasters or repeated talking points packaged by a different talking head.

It’s turtles propagandists all the way down

All three of those publications you list either contribute to or source articles from ProPublica on a regular basis. All three also tend to cite sources and first hand reporting in their articles. You cannot say the same for far right publications, especially rumor mills in the Breitbart, InfoWars, Fox News sphere of influence.

There is absolutely a difference between the “left” and the “right” when it comes to journalism. The patterns I’ve noticed are more rigor in fact checking on the “left”.

However, you bring up a good point in that the media amplifies tribalism. I think social media is amplifying the opinion pieces that drive the wedge issues. Finally, I’m noticing a trend of podcasters sourcing opinion pieces as fact.

Yellow journalism, specifically the USS Maine and Pulizer and Hearst don’t really factor into the 24hr news cycle. They absolutely factor into how the news has always been a tool for the wealthy to shape and alter public opinion. However that’s been a problem since the stratification of wealth. You can go all the way back to cuneiform tablets to show this. It’s human nature.

Where do you think ProPublica stands in that spectrum then?

@remindme@mstdn.social 1 year. Let me know about the seachange of new 10x transform based programmers that have automated me out of a job.

“We” didn’t do this. News outlets are not elected. Cable news was packaged and proselytized in the 80’s and advertising revenue has never let it go away. Lazy political campaigns glommed onto a captive audience and continually underfunded grass roots organization for media buys. That became it’s own industry and here we are.

However, at no point were any of these decisions made by the population at large. We didn’t all get together and collectively decide, hey let’s really fuck up our media diet and incentivize our most reactive take on an issue to further politicize the holidays and vaccines. This was done to us. It’ll take a lot of work to undo, if it ever gets undone.

The last election showed that. Cable news is dead. The American people now get their news from YouTube and podcasts.

To only focus on what I can impact locally and build out more mutual aid.

The automated censorship that keeps out CSAM and blatant trolling and scams? I love it.

The moderation that’s done over the whole instance. That’s understandable as it’s a large attack surface for regulatory or state actor interference.

The community mods, that depends on the /c and honestly it’s the same as it’s ever been. It’s wildly variable from person to person.

Y’all get holidays?

We run arch btw

sudo mkdir /ussr && sudo ln -s /usr /ussr

You’re using sudo when logged in as root?
