This is a bad look for Apple: it shows that there's basically no editorial independence at Apple TV, something that has been a well-established feature at for-profit newspapers and television channels for decades. This clearly demonstrates that Apple TV cannot be trusted when it comes to serious news.

I like how the reader is supposed to be familiar enough with the scream box that it doesn't require any extra explanation.

The "big" premium they were taking about was 600€ which is obviously outrageous. To make a cancer patient spend this much money on a life saving procedure.

European here: I agree with this being outrageous. It's not about the money, it's about being a civilised society.

Now hospital parking on the other hand...

Their US customary units. What even is a fluid ounce, and what is it doing in my drink?

I don't need to smoke anything, I simply live in the EU where this is commonplace.

People seem to rely on the govt to provide things rather than have some agencies fill niches that aren't filled by the govt (for example I saw signs like don't help homeless people, the govt is helping them). I'm from an Asian country, we don't have much tax, we don't rely on the govt for anything (we can't), and we have many NGOs.

Most (but not all!) Europeans consider NGOs to be undemocratic, whereas the government is (theoretically at least) under democratic control.

Europeans identify more with nationality than ethnicity. For example, someone from Czech Republic moving to France is considered French. In North America I think they would be considered Czech-French. In Asia they would be considered to be a Czech expat living in France. Our ethnicity matters a lot.

But at what point would you stop doing so? I'm Dutch yet can trace back my ancestry to the 16th century in Belgium and northern France, what ethnicity do I have? And some have an even longer and more dispersed pedigree.

Also, you gave the example of French but what is now called France was made up from a large variety of ethnicities. Being French then is not defined as being a particular ethnicity but as belonging to the French Republic. It's a cultural thing that matters a lot to them.

The problem for chipmakers is not the sourcing of materials itself, but the purity of the sourced material. So don’t worry about public beaches disappearing into Intel’s hopper-feeder.

With instances already disappearing (eg. vlemmy), content is being lost. Are you considering a lemmy archive?

How about a federated system for sharing “known safe” image attestations? That way, the trust list is something managed locally by each participating instance.

Edit: thinking about it some more, a federated image classification system would allow some instances to be more strict than others.

Seeing as they melt the stuff, I’m not sure the grains need to be rounded.

Yes, because not every link is on Lemmy itself.
