There’s certainly degrees of bias, but even the very choice in what to cover is a bias. The real question is if they’re honestly presenting the relevant facts, and are clear about what’s their own opinion.

The British suck but not literally everything they do is an invasion. And there were other Europeans there when they first arrived, not Argentinians.

Both Spain and France and UK each have stronger claims than Argentina.

If you don’t have strong consumer rights enforcement you have to do a lot of research in advance. Even then you can be hit by companies changing model later.

In B2B, if you’re in charge you need to negotiate in terms to be able to break the contract if the other side don’t deliver what they promised. If you’re just an employee, you can’t do much about your bosses making stupid decisions. They might have thought they would save money, or gotten kickbacks, and you’re stuck with the consequences.

And yes, dishonest people should be filtered out.

You need one of those smart glasses, if you can avoid getting punched for wearing them

OK so now YOU’RE equating humans to literally just birds and plants

But if the islands were empty before? Like there’s islands who have thousands of years of history of people living there. But then there’s also those who just doesn’t. Are they supposed to stay empty? All humans always bad, or something?

Nature’s /s

If you make the emotional investment low the return can still be good

Colostomy bag people

Nah half of the time it’s “I’m from the future and [thing that nobody could know and which they have never even said or written down], we need you to do XYZ”

Phonetic spelling

The ship of theseus says hello

You have to decide what it is that defines the entity

The title of “my gaming PC”? Whatever which holds the title is that PC at any given moment.

Defined by some property? Desktop setup, game/file collection, hardware type (whichever has the hardware most suitable for the task, eg. the most capable PC being your gaming PC, etc)

Defined by substance/components? OS image, motherboard / CPU, or even just the case, etc…

You can even use all definitions at once with completely different choices in each, because your current gaming PC might become your next home server as you buy a new PC, then you move around some components like RAM, reinstall a device, make one a media center for your TV, etc…

Unless the person/entity has a history of bad behavior, which Facebook does

Ah yes a line chart over a non-euclidean space

It’s Russia, if you’re not really high profile they don’t care

There’s things built for entirely different reasons that can be used as a federated Wiki if you wish, like Fossil (a federated version control system with a Wiki)

https://www2.fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/index.wiki

Note that Wiki federation has a whole bunch of potential issues if you try to allow automatic updates from arbitrary users. Wiki servers rely heavily on antispam measures which often require a lot of analysis of the user’s connection, data which often isn’t available over federation, so submissions by others have to be validated manually. Fossil being a version control system means it is more of a mirroring friendly Wiki than truly federated, but you can set it up so that mutually trusting mirrors can replicate each other’s validated commits/updates.

Depends on the federation model. For lemmy I assume things like comments aren’t pushed automatically (?) until the thread is opened, but in some models the instances pull all new content from at least the known accounts / spaces from known servers (I think regular Mastodon does that)

Honestly, look into pain killer studies. We still don’t know how many of them work even though we know that they do work. The brain and nervous system is weird.

Not a bad look IMHO, but yeah Ferraris tend to be distinct and this isn’t really

You can start with timed bans, so they get the point
