World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I realy want to belive this to be true, but I have to ask for a source on this one.
I don't blame you, because what the fuck lol: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joshua_N._Haldeman
Thanks. And wow... Just... Wow.
There’s a two parter behind the bastards that also goes into this
Is there a way to get a source for behind the bastards without ads? Like some podcasts let you pay a subscription and you get access to an ad free version
Yea, Apple Podcasts or iHeartRadio has that.
So Iheart has a subscription. Gets you access to their content ad free
Oh nice so that gets you like a link to be able to use your own podcast downloader?
Yeah it's called an RSS feed. Every podcast has an RSS link, and that's how your podcast app connects and gets all the episode information and the stream. Some apps may not have the podcast you're looking for in the search function (or maybe there's more than one, like an ad free stream), and you can manually add whatever podcast if you have the link.
Interestingly, YouTube channels and subreddits are also RSS feeds. There are apps that allow you to compile the links together, so all of your podcasts, YouTube subscriptions, subreddits, and many more things that you follow on the internet, could all be combined into one app/page, free of ads and other distractions and annoyances on the originating sites. I use the program FreshRSS for this exact purpose, and it's wonderful having everything I want to see combined on my home page.
Especially since the emerald mine thing turned out to be a hoax.
What hoax?
From his own mouth:

I once owned a share of Microsoft, therefore I owe any success to that.
Supervisor: Hey, um, I think you forgot to include sources in your thesis?
Grad student: You can also look up a source. It's real easy these days, with the little supercomputers in all our pockets.
Upvoting under the assumption that this was /s
Grad student says what the deleted comment said. So yes.
Some people like to converse with others, we're not all robots.
That's how I feel every time someone makes that stupid remark... if I didn't want to interact with people, I wouldn't be online, duh. I especially love being able to ask questions in real-time and verify the answers when it's important to me.
For me, it's not even about the interaction. "Do your own research" is conspiracy ideologists language for "trust me brah" and we should be better than that. Whatever they claim may simply not be true and "look it up yourself" is just a means to waste everybody's time because there isn't anything to look up. Not to mention, whoever made the claim should already have at least an idea where they got the claim so why send everybody on a wild goose chase when they can simply link to it?
I almost always include links, but not always when it's something I've already linked to dozens of times. In that case, I figure if people are interested enough, they'll want to do their own research... and if they're not, then I'm not gonna continue wasting my time just because someone wants to argue again.
Sounds like something a robot would say...
Beep boop beep boop
I mean...
What YOU said sounds like something a robot would say... 🤔
Lol. If you consider what they said an insult, what you said is certainly one by your own standards. Maybe don't be shitty to people for no reason if you're concerned about such things.
Condescending, then gets upset for being called out for it; then doubles down, instead of recognizing the problem is, in fact, being condescending. Which, to recap, you began and then continued.
Bravo, bravo slow clap. I almost feel like I should expect a shrill cry to speak to the manager or something.
