If it’s free from a for profit company, you’re most likely the product

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?

“Wild Polio” is almost eradicated, not the polio caused by the oral vaccine lol

Energy producers (one of the largest industries) of all kinds input propaganda into the world about their business - and their business is tied to climate research for public perception. Climate is definitely a manipulated message in one form or another

“Misleading Ads, funding experts, lobbying opinions”

This is also just every large industry/corporation ever

Suck it feds, I hope your shares plummet

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?

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.

If energy becomes cheap, they lose money. If the stock market doesn’t see their profits rise every quarter, they will trade for less.

These major corps think of societal impact only in the monetary/cash flow sense and lobby heavily to support their position.

We’d need to adjust some rules, and educate more people on nuclear power

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
