I lost all confidence in it when it rated Jerusalem Post and Euronews (associated with Viktor Orban) as "highly reliable". Both push the pro-fascist narratives of their associated governments. It's better to have no labeling than to label fascist propaganda as "highly reliable"

After I saw that issue, I attempted to build Ventoy from source. After making numerous modifications and getting only the first couple components built, I got tired of it and quit. I've made some modifications to glim and use that instead, although it's still not as easy as Ventoy. But I don't trust Ventoy if I can't build it myself.

Further, when @vkc@linuxmom.net made some criticisms of Ventoy in one of her YouTube videos, she was subjected to a harassment campaign, and others told her the same happened to them. That pushed me from not trusting Ventoy to actively distrusting it.

It's only political if you think human rights are political. For normal people who care about other people, it's a light hearted comedy

Ukraine isn't asking anyone to go to the front and fight for them. They're asking for this aid. Anyone who cares about Ukraine as much as they claim will listen to what Ukraine asks for.

This same "discovery" gets reported on once or twice a year; it's starting to feel like a FUD campaign rather than actual research

Maybe the WSJ has a point; we could save a lot of money if we stopped buying breakfast and just ate the WSJ staff instead

Tankies, just like other fascists, are willing to do whatever it takes to gain and keep power, including pretending to support socialism

As the cop in South Park said after a kid was killed in town, "Dammit! Outside school is the one place kids are supposed to be safe!"

Reddit used to be full of incels who thought visible lips = ran through. Now it's transphobes who think non-visible = trans. That whole place is a gold mine of badwomensanatomy

Where's the cop, you ask? Standing outside a school shooting, preventing anyone from rescuing the kids.

Telegram users have never had privacy. Group chats are completely in the open and private messages are only encrypted if both users turn it on for each conversation—and it's off by default. I've never understood why anyone thinks Telegram is any better than posting anywhere else on the internet.

Because the liberal Supreme Court largely supported democracy, while the conservative one isn't even trying to hide its promotion of fascism. There is no both sides here

He's always so dramatic about everything. Like, this is America, buddy; lots of people get shot at. It doesn't make you special. And he wasn't even hurt.

Yeah, I read the good message, but then saw Homelander and thought, "makes fascists happy?"

There's a preprint paper out that claims to prove that the technology used in LLMs will never be able to be extended to AGI, due to the exponentially increasing demand for resources they'd require. I don't know enough formal CS to evaluate their methods, but to the extent I understand their argument, it is compelling.

It's not OP's fault that Raccoon's developer chose to be extra and delete their app from the internet for scoring low on a Markdown implementation rating, especially since the level of implementation was a design decision. Further, a pull request was coming soon that would have dramatically improved it. It's too bad that the developer being dramatic killed off a very nice app.
