It’s not so much what their interpretation is of the specific article is, it’s more that you might find more information from someone who has info that was left out, or maybe another source that has conflicting information.

Could you show us a few not so biased news sources? I suppose this will also vary wildly by topic. A news outlet might be narrative/propaganda driven on one topic, but not about another.

It’s so much mess (through corporate ties or money) to sort through, it’s hard to trust any of them anymore

Yeah, what a horrible headline lol.

It’s about Facebook allegedly stopping it’s streaming service to keep one of its largest ad revenue customers happy (Netflix), but also that court docs were unsealed in an anti trust suit, and Facebook may have agreements with Spotify and Netflix, to allow them to read users DM’s (no idea why that’s relevant but yeah, fuck Facebook! Lol)

It’s very speculative though and may not be true. Not that it’d surprise me if it were true either though…

🤷 Does anyone here even use Facebook?

Sometimes there’s good discussion though, and it’s good to hear different takes.

Having comments also gives less power to the writer, like could you imagine if we all took Fox News or CNN headlines at face value and didn’t discuss them?

That’s fair, and I’m glad you’re in a part of the world that allows you to express yourself freely.

If being on the stage, dressing different, or playing the drums is something you want to go at, I’d say do it. You won’t know it until you’re in it. There will be some aspects you like, and some you won’t. What you perceive and what actually is, are often different.

I’ve always found that the things I excel at, are the things I’m genuinely interested in. And when I follow those paths for a while, they all have similar lessons. It’s like an all rivers lead to the ocean kinda thing.

Counter intuitively though, I also feel more liberated when I’m disciplined about getting little goals done on those paths. When I follow my exact, in the moment emotions, it usually leads me to addiction and forms of laziness. Just gotta push through the bullshit for a bit lol. “Beauty stems from pain” sort of fits with what I’m saying here. Might not be the same for everyone though, but for the past few years I’ve been excited to get out of bed lol.

Anyways, listen to your heart and you’ll feel full. Good luck!

What do you mean specifically when you say you want to explore yourself more? What would that entail?

Either they’re not Chinese or they don’t look further than 1 comment deep

This is how I know there’s upvote bots rolling through here.

Who tf on Lemmy commends Facebook…for anything?

This is pretty accurate

Yeah that makes sense, 1nm is just so small that I half assumed we’re nearly at the size of molecules where it would make sense. Turns out a water molecule is only .27nm

Weird how none of this is in parts per million

The comments from when that happened a few years ago? Is that was you’re referring to?

Because I’m referring to most of the commenters in this thread having a big 'ol hate circ jerk.

In my head, being on the left used to mean compassion and tolerance, but it’s clearly the same spitefulness as the right. I’m beginning it think this is just how tribalism in general works, doesn’t matter what team you’re on

They’re all back online now. I mean I dislike the ultra wealthy as much as the next guy but y’all got hate boners

Yeah I have one set up - it’s sorta meh.

Most ads from things you look at can be stopped by just an ad blocker plugin for the browser (uBlock Origin). The Pi can’t stop ads when they come directly from the sever of the company you’re viewing (like from YouTube or Facebook ads).

The Pi just has a library of known advertising domains and doesn’t let those past the router, but because the major corps like YouTube don’t use 3rd party domains, the Pi won’t stop it.

For the TV scenario here id recommend just installing a new Linux based OS on it as this would be just as good as the streaming device, but free.

Yeah, it’s not any different than ICE vehicles, people here just love being on the Elon hate train. If it’s related to anything he touches, you’ll mostly only see negative comments be upvoted. Me saying this tends to set some off too so

BRING THE DOWNVOTES, I DRINK YOUR TEARS

Oof you can’t say anything on Lemmy that defies the “we hate tesla because Elon” culture - even slightly.

Enjoy the -30 downvotes lol, I’m sure I’ll join you shortly.

OpenAi’s majority share holder is Microsoft, and they’ve already given OpenAI billions

Well yeah, as much as I dislike apple, the majority of Google’s income comes from advertising - and to be the best at it, they need to have more personal data than everyone else, which = lots of tracking.

How do we open source hardware and make it competitive? If we figure that out, maybe we can break free of yet another 2 party system we’re creating lol

Oh nice, thanks for the suggestion I’ll try it out. I don’t use the curved text in photoshop, that’s usually done in illustrator in my workflow

Masking is not nearly as easy to apply. It’s very quick to get smooth edges in your mask in Photoshop.

Photoshop now has a built in AI (Beta Version) to generate backgrounds or add things to your image.

In GIMP, you can only use one artboard (canvas) at a time. Photoshop can have multiple within one file

Photoshop can link directly to illustrator and can handle vectors, not just rasterized images.

Most of the scaling and filtering tools just tend to work better in Photoshop. Also The “Object Selection” tool in Photoshop is amazing. This doesn’t exist in GIMP.

Smart objects are nice too (Photoshop only) - makes it so you can edit one object and change it across multiple artboards + other functionality.

And one of my biggest issues, GIMP can’t edit pictures in CMYK - it’s a big work around just to try and export your sRGB image to CMYK in GIMP, but your colors will change.

Literally the only thing I like GIMP over Photoshop for is that it’s easier to add gradients with a transparency

Edit:

Oh and gimp is good at changing specific color hues quickly. But that’s all I’ve found

TIL - Thank you for the insight!
