Technology@lemmy.world•Supreme Court upholds TikTok ban in unanimous rulingEnglish
2·1 year agoDespite what TikTok might claim, I’m fairly certain they’ve never actually turned a profit. Data collection, and influencing the American was always the point.

Technology@lemmy.world•Perplexity, not Google, is now the best search engineEnglish
2·1 year agoYeah, from my experience I believe Kagi’s results are like 90%+ pulled from Brave’s search index. I like the concept of Kagi, but I prefer SearXNG as a search aggregator.

Technology@lemmy.world•Perplexity, not Google, is now the best search engineEnglish
7·1 year agoWhen the citations are on point, I like AI search. 9 times out of 10 I care enough to read the source though.
However, there are still way too many hallucinations when it comes to sources in my experience. It just wastes my time when I go to verify and find that AI just spat out garbage.

Technology@lemmy.world•Perplexity, not Google, is now the best search engineEnglish
3·1 year agoAnyone have an opinion on Perplexity compared to Brave Search?
I really value Brave having their own independent search index. Google, Bing, and Yandex have dominated the space for quite some time.
I know Perplexity claims to have a small / curated independent index, but I’m not really sure how true that is.

World News@lemmy.world•IDF says no Israeli troops have been withdrawn yet from southern LebanonEnglish
111·1 year agoAgainst my better judgement, I’ll take a crack at this.
American racism, as displayed in the Family Guy meme, is based on skin color. In Israel/Palestine, racism is not based on skin color. Jews aren’t all light skinned, and Arabs aren’t all dark skinned.

World News@lemmy.world•Israeli Government Imposes Sanctions on Haaretz, Cuts All Ties and Pulls AdvertisingEnglish
43·1 year agoNope. It’s a prominent one, but by no means the “main” media outlet. It’s also largely in opposition to Netanyahu and his coalition.
As of July 31, 2023, a TGI survey indicated that Israel Hayom, distributed for free, is Israel’s most read newspaper, with a 29.4% weekday readership exposure, followed by Yedioth Ahronoth, with 22.3%, Haaretz with 4.8%, Globes with 4% and Maariv with 3.9%.[1]

212·1 year agoHeroic Games Launcher is a pretty smooth experience on Linux for what it’s worth. It works well for GOG, Epic, and Amazon Games.

World News@lemmy.world•UN tells Israel it will suspend aid operations across Gaza without improved safety, UN officials sayEnglish
318·2 years agoMayhaps the people of Israel aren’t a hive mind and different groups want different things?
Is it possible that many of want aid entering and work hard for it to flow into Gaza, while others violently oppose it?

World News@lemmy.world•How Africa’s War on Disinformation Can Save Democracies EverywhereEnglish
4·2 years agoHaha, I was wondering when someone was going to point that out. You’ll notice both MBFC and Ad Fontes were given that status primarily due to being Self-Published. However I wouldn’t consider MBFC or Ad Fontes to be the be-all and end-all perfectly authoritative source either.

World News@lemmy.world•New legal powers for Jewish settlers open door to 'actual annexation' of West BankEnglish
43·2 years agoYou want to debate the specifics of an article from a source I find unreliable. I don’t want to. I wouldn’t want to if someone was posting something from Israel Hayom either.

72·2 years agoThe beauty of Wikipedia is they cite sources, keep edit history, and have a strong ethos of neutrality.
Smaller articles are more prone to being abused due to the sheer scale of Wikipedia, but are still subject to moderation if reported.
I don’t view Wikipedia articles as definitive, but generally I trust the community and don’t believe it has been overrun by right wing groups like NGO Monitor.
There is a consensus that NGO Monitor is not reliable for facts. Editors agree that, despite attempts to portray itself otherwise, it is an advocacy organization whose primary goal is to attack organizations that disagree with it or with the Israeli government regarding the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. Some editors also express concern about past attempts by NGO Monitor staff to manipulate coverage of itself on Wikipedia

World News@lemmy.world•U.S. Military Planes Are in Haiti. Haitians Don’t Know Why.English
175·2 years agoMedia coverage of the crisis there has been very biased and superficial.
Can you be more specific? Is there any particular coverage that you find biased and superficial?
I will admit that some outlets undoubtably cover this better than others, but that is the case in all conflicts.






To add to this, carry-ons dramatically slow the boarding process, which adds to the overall cost of the flight. Charging for carry-ons makes it easier for flights to be consistently on-time, which is why airlines prefer to have fewer of them
Turning an airplane around is not a quick process, and anything that can be done to speed that it up saves the airline time and money.
