I didn’t know there was an RSS community for Bellingcat

This is nice, but I think it belongs in a different community like !pics@lemmy.world

Sure, but I don’t think we can produce enough from our current greenhouses. Definitely not enough to also sustain all the meat/dairy people consume. Also not all crops grow nicely in greenhouses

There wouldn’t be much to lead soon after that, once all the crops die off

Thanks!

This website/source is questionable. I looked at the science section, and it feels like grocery store checkout aisle tabloid content.

There are probably better sources about this story

This is a common scam/phishing attempt that shows up from time to time.

They wouldn’t suddenly ban it though.

Any ban would roll in without enough time for people to switch away. Twitter doesn’t do anything special that can’t be replicated elsewhere.

To those down voting, the comment likely refers to this. However I haven’t looked into how true this is, and I don’t know this website

Amid intensifying escalation across the Middle East, a Turkish media outlet has highlighted controversial remarks by retired U.S. Colonel Douglas McGregor, sparking strong reactions in Ankara.

According to the report, McGregor suggested that after Iran, attention could shift toward the “elimination” of Turkey, placing Ankara in what he described as the next phase of a widening regional confrontation following U.S. and Israeli airstrikes on Iranian targets.

I think people are more likely to join platforms like this if they have lost trust in the other platforms, which also makes them more distrustful and cautious in otherwise normal interactions

We could all have more patience with one another 😄

I did want to read some comments discussing the contents of the article. I’ll pop back later I guess

We need a browser extension with a whitelist for accounts that are either verified, or created before 2022. If the extension gets popular and people start buying old accounts to post spam on, then it would also need a blacklist for confirmed spammers.

That’s an excerpt from the piece, from one author section, not OP. While it is possible that the author used AI for their section, it’s also a common style for this kind of publication (which is why LLMs often emulate it).

I agree that the original author should know better

They usually do decent reporting, and they’ve been around for a few decades now: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Walrus

Its one of the few smaller independent Canadian outlets that I follow the RSS feed for. So many other “Canadian” sounding outlets are actually owned by large american conglomerates: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postmedia_Network

The title is saying “Eight experts (in various fields) weigh in on (topics that aren’t being discussed in mainstream news, but should be) when it comes to the war”

Supposedly Amnezia is an anti censorship tool, however Facebook has a terrible track record with recommending VPNs. The previous one turned out to be spyware

Onavo, Inc. was an Israeli mobile web analytics company that was purchased by Facebook, Inc. (now Meta Platforms), who changed the company’s name to Facebook Israel.[1] The company primarily performed its activities via consumer mobile apps, including the virtual private network (VPN) service Onavo Protect, which analysed web traffic sent through the VPN to provide statistics on the usage of other apps.

Guy Rosen and Roi Tiger founded Onavo in 2010. In October 2013, Onavo was acquired by Facebook, which used Onavo’s analytics platform to monitor competitors. This influenced Facebook to make various business decisions, including its 2014 acquisition of WhatsApp.

Since the acquisition, Onavo was frequently classified as being spyware, as the VPN was used to monetize application usage data collected within an allegedly privacy-focused environment. In August 2018, Facebook was forced to pull Onavo Protect from the iOS App Store due to violations of Apple’s policy forbidding apps from collecting data on the usage of other apps. In February 2019, in response to criticism over a Facebook market research program employing similar techniques (including, in particular, being targeted towards teens), Onavo announced that it would close the Android version of Protect as well.

Looks cool! I’d love to see local buynothing groups have a Fediverse alternative.

Out of curiosity, is there any standard or common format around location data for Fediverse platforms?

Wow that is nice, is it released anywhere for others to modify/extend?

Fox, who also oversees Apache Maven, a popular Java build tool, explained that its repository site is at risk of being overwhelmed by constant Git pulls. The team has dug into this and found that 82 percent of the demand comes from less than 1 percent of IPs. Digging deeper, they discovered that many companies are using open source repositories as if they were content delivery networks (CDNs). So, for example, a single company might download the same code hundreds of thousands of times in a day, and the next day, and the next. This is unsustainable.

GitHub added rate limits for unauthenticated users last year

At the same time, they became a lot more palatable to the rest of the world and companies that want to avoid bad press / boycotts
