the vast majority—up to 82%—of the links to false information in the dataset originated from conservative news domains.

It really does depend on how many those “many people” are. Too many to dismiss them as irrelevant, it appears to me.

You may be willing to cede the cartoon frog to the Nazis for their exclusive use, but many people aren’t. If you assume that everyone you see using it is one you’ll be vastly overestimating the number of Nazis in the world.

the study suggests that individuals who deviate from their party norms are quickly treated as if they are a political enemy.

Is that “party” as in political party? Because I don’t know about the rest of the world, but in Canada it seems like the main polarization is between the Conservatives who have their shiny new Conservative party on one side, versus everybody else who doesn’t really have an official party they identify with all that much on the other side. It’s not yet like the USA with its seemingly-eternal two-party system. I wonder if it looks like that if you view it through Twitter.

I don’t think that kind of anti-labour attitude is likely to be prevalent among people who play daily NYT word games. A more mainstream response is probably more like “whatever, nerds.”

The Featured Snippet quoted an article from the Mayo Clinic, highlighting the words “Caffeine may cause a short, but dramatic increase in your blood pressure.” But when she looked up “no link between coffee and hypertension”, the Featured Snippet cited a contradictory line from the very same Mayo Clinic article: “Caffeine doesn’t have a long-term effect on blood pressure and is not linked with a higher risk of high blood pressure”.

On the one hand, Google sucks. On the other hand, if people are unable to a) understand how those two snippets are not contradictory, and b) read at least one very short simplified-for-laymen Mayo Clinic article about the topic before thinking they’ve learned anything at all about medicine, it’s hard to see the problem as being primarily due to Google. There is something deeper, and worse, going wrong when people habitually take that kind of extreme shortcut to thinking that they know the right answer about almost anything, and it has little to do with whether any one-sentence snippets they’re given are biased or accurate.

Overclocking

Just think of all the juicy benefits of replacing journalists with machines. They’ll never stumble or cough while presenting the news, they’ll never call in sick, never age, never get mad as hell and decide to not take it any more, never resign from the editorial board in protest no matter what garbage you tell them is the news. Machines are just better suited to the job, it’s inevitable.

GPU has fallen off the bus.

If you’re lucky, it’s an nvidia driver problem. If you’re not, it’s a hardware problem.

Your particular complaints are better addressed to almighty God I suppose. So long as you don’t blame linux kernel devs for them it’s all the same to me.

Address your complaints to the government of the USA. Or, if you have the right to do so, cast a vote in the upcoming election there to prevent it taking a big step in the opposite direction from a world in which it might consider anything like similar sanctions against Israel.

You may be amazed to learn that there aren’t many international sanctions against the USA at this time, but I imagine you could probably get into legal trouble for collaborating with Americans if you’re in, I don’t know, North Korea maybe.

Later in that thread:

Please accept all of our apologies for the way this was handled. A summary of the legal advice the kernel is operating under is

If your company is on the U.S. OFAC SDN lists, subject to an OFAC sanctions program, or owned/controlled by a company on the list, our ability to collaborate with you will be subject to restrictions, and you cannot be in the MAINTAINERS file.

Hello Internet commenters. Please remember that there’s no rule that says you need to tell us all your gut reaction to this if you know absolutely nothing about the situation.

It’s find -L if you want it to follow symlinks.

Too long to read? I get it. Here’s the summary. Download Firefox.

Yes. One option is to download it from here: https://librewolf.net/

cat `find /sys -name pp_power_profile_mode`

If by “advanced mode” you mean the “expert” installer, it’s not in graphics mode so you wouldn’t need the ctrl key.

Edit: Actually there is also a “graphical expert install” apparently, but anyway you may be in text mode. You could instead pick rescue mode from the menu as well.
