so much as expressing anger at what’s happening

Downvoting submissions that are appropriate, on-topic, and rules-following to the communities they’re in is not using the platform sensibly.

Votes determine people’s feeds, and people without the emotional self control to not manipulate other people’s feeds for their own emotional regulation make the feeds of everyone else worse and I’m so fucking tired of seeing it. This lack of respect for how voting interacts with what other people see just creates an echo-chamber because the visibility of anything appropriate-but-disliked gets suppressed. Childish tribalist stupidity to sabotage not just one platform, but EVERYTHING connected to it because we’re using interoperable federated platforms. To the best of my knowledge, having looked at how both lemmy and mbin process votes, none of the software involved here has sophisticated enough vote processing to enable people to use it in this way.

Then use the archived link that has been helpfully provided.

I think (and hope) people are downvoting you just because of the content of the article and not really paying attention to where it was posted.

Yes, it was my mistake to once again think that people might use the platform sensibly. On the other hand, maybe submitting should continue until platform usage improves.

To me this sounds exactly like one of the non-politics Onion/satire posts that wouldn’t get upvoted much here if it were submitted.

If you don’t have enough GPU power to meet your heating needs, there’s a capital cost to get more (and depending on your existing setup, likely even more capital costs for other components to be able to run it in a separate system).

I think the implied point of comparison is (edit: e.g.,) heat pumps, which are effectively more than 100% efficient (as mentioned elsewhere in the thread), making ~100% efficiency relatively inefficient by comparison.

Tribalism is a hell of a drug

Sorely missing a com/mag/sub/your-preferred-jargon-word for theocho right now

It doesn’t count when you have to change the headline

The Rules

Posts must be:

1. Links to news stories from…
2. …credible sources, with…
3. …their original headlines, that…
4. …would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Thanks for letting us know that your conviction is just performative shoe-pissing.

Okay, in do-or-die wartime I can accept some suppression of the truth.

If you genuinely believe the situation in the US is so bad and analogous to wartime that it’s worth spreading and supporting lies for the sake of “winning” then you need to stop wasting your time commenting on nottheonion posts and go figure out how to win. At the very least don’t waste time talking to people like me who spend time on truth, set up an automated posting farm and flood the entire internet with anti-Trump propaganda with no attention wasted on what’s true or otherwise ethical or moral.

If it’s not that bad and you can afford to piss away time here then you can still afford the truth.

Pick a consistent position and take actions that align with whatever you pick, but don’t try to have your cake and eat it too, it just comes across as hypocrisy to the rest of us. I hope to either see you around or not see you for a few years – and nothing in-between.

Accepting whatever makes “the other side” look bad instead of fighting for the truth is the reason we’re in this thread talking about that dipshit [Trump]. I’m not sure I’ll ever understand why the fuck are people in this thread fighting against that so hard

Trump is a convicted felon, promoted beans at the resolute desk, received millions of dollars in inauguration fundraising from big tech, has his own cryptocurrency which he promoted by promising presidential access, and is being called a madman by economists for the least stable US economic policy since Bretton Woods.

Trump is not like “other country leaders”. Historically the above would be disqualifying for “other country leaders”. You can’t cover news about him like “other country leaders”. I almost can’t believe that you’re saying that you can.

Yes, but the implication of “given the medal to look at” and “pocketing FIFA medal” is that Trump “stole” it or wasn’t supposed to keep it, which I haven’t seen supported by a credible source yet.

Edit: regarding your own edit (adding the second image), I found no information at the linked source supporting the sentence as presented.

I have linked a video showing what actually happened, linked a verified signatory of the International Fact Checking Network and member of the European Fact-Checking Standards Network saying that it was given to him and that the submitted headline is misleading, and your response is “don’t be naive”.

Are you guys fucking for real? What the fuck even counts as credible evidence to you anymore!?

If you have credible evidence saying it was only gifted retroactively, please link it. The video evidence does not appear support that interpretation of events.

I’m all for dunking on him but it looks like he was given it, and I haven’t seen any other evidence suggesting the medal was intended to be given back: https://youtu.be/b5I2adhIn7U?t=174

Fake news isn’t less bad just because it’s “your side” doing it

Yeah, that’s why I brought it up!
