Ultimately, the CBS article is just a word-for-word re-release of this AP story with additions based on the content of the Japan Times article.

Better to get information from their actual sources than to support increasingly right-wing mouthpieces.

When you can’t trust that the votes, the comments, and the engagement you’re seeing are real, you’ve lost the foundation a community platform is built on.

Reddit and Twitter are filled to the brim with spambots and remain successful. The lack of distinction between real and fake content serves to attract marketers and propagandists to such platforms, with most users remaining due to the network effect. With its venture capitalist funding, Digg would be just as willing to benefit from spam if it held market dominance, and thus only distributed Fediverse platforms like Lemmy or Mastodon are viable solutions.

Alternative to CBS.

Generative AI products in general need to be better regulated. With more and more consumers trusting the output of LLMs, companies can use them to collect more consumer data than ever before and infuse marketing and propaganda into LLM outputs with no distinction, to the detriment of the genuine sources of information upon which they depend.

Penalties that are lower than profits encourage companies to rob consumers again in the future.

They are losing in the context of not being able to benefit from those resources themselves at a later point.

Gr0lum shouldn’t have revealed the IP addresses of YGG moderators and could have handled aspects of the leak better, but the YGG admin’s rebuttal post is undermined by disgusting transphobia:

The rules of the competing tracker, set up by these same individuals, clearly show their true colors: anyone who doesn’t buy into their woke ideological vision isn’t welcome. “LGBTQI+ phobias” are placed on the same level as fascism or racism, and any “debate” on the subject is purely and simply forbidden. In other words, if you’re not comfortable with the idea of dad putting on mom’s wig, you’re not welcome on their platform.

It exists purely to license the rights to Tetris.

A lot more than that counting all the grifting and governmental waste propagated by Trump since he took office.

A swallow carrying a drone?

More Hitler Youth chapters won’t solve the country’s problems.

Fascists aren’t satisfied with simply causing climate change, they want to accelerate it too.

The device in the picture is a ROG Ally, not a Steam Deck. Without trackpads it’s a lot less useful, in my opinion.

Preventing Iran from acquiring a bomb is one of Trump’s stated war aims

Something that could have been achieved through continued negotiations, resulting in far fewer lives lost and less money wasted. Assassinating Iran’s leaders and threatening to invade only serves to bolster their justifications for seeking nuclear weapons in the first place.

The problem is that Trump’s supporters will still believe him over anyone else.

Dedicating 5% of GDP to military spending is bullshit, but a degree of targeted spending is still needed to counteract aggression by countries like Russia that would otherwise invade countries like Ukraine with impunity.
