Ah yes, the ancient Egyptian seven simple machines: lever, wheel, pulley, incline, wedge, screw and Agrav engine.

New York City said 'no injuries' at Columbia arrests; students' medical records say otherwise ( www.reuters.com )

After the arrests of pro-Palestine student protesters occupying a Columbia University building last month, New York Mayor Eric Adams and senior police officials repeatedly said there were "no injuries," no "violent clashes" and minimal force used....

Oh, do they mean the unconstitutional arrests of peaceful protesters?

Hopefully she’s smartened up by then.

Very recent news would suggest otherwise.

EA wants to place in-game ads in its full-price AAA games, again ( www.techspot.com )

EA has tried this before, with predictable results. In 2020, EA Sports UFC 4 included full-screen ads for the Amazon Prime series The Boys that would appear during 'Replay' moments. These were absent from the game when it launched, with EA introducing the ads about a month later, thereby preventing them from being highlighted in...

The ones pushing back are either trolls or bootylickers; the recent Helldivers2 shitstorm proved that things can change.

I don't get the aim of this comment. It IS a news, maybe not world-shaking but it is. So what would define a real news for you?

Plays victim, deflect questions. Seen other times. Not worthy the time.

What's stopping you from using Ecosia? Your searches could plant trees! ( www.ecosia.org )

Ecosia is a search engine that aggregates search results from multiple other search engines. The ad revenue from our searches funds the planting of trees worldwide. With over 200 million trees planted so far, Ecosia have learned to be fully transparent about their projects, and financials which are available right on that...

Better to stop planting trees altogether then?

The one who downvoted maybe should get robbed of their house and had some relative killed, to gain some perspective.

Since the war began, entire areas of the West Bank have been emptied of their communities ( www.haaretz.com )

One of the largest communities expelled in the months since the war began was from the village of Wadi al-Siq, which is separated from Maghayyir A-Dir only by a beautiful green wadi. Next to the ruins of the village, which are still visible, cows from the nearby outpost that was established only about a year ago are grazing...

Ok, new strategy: go back to 4:3.

Uh.. I don't know if it sounded snarky, but mine was a joke. "If the extra space of 16:9 is going to be occupied by ads, better go back to 4:3 aspect ratio."

We'll go full circle and return to site directories.

Yes but if they want an AI to index it, first it would have to figure out what an index is ;-)

    As opposed of a second Trump term? The one that clearly stated he'd kill those who oppose him? Clearly a better choice.

    I'm still to be convinced that all these AIs aren't just very good chat bots, they can line up words (or pixels) in a realistic way, but I feel there's no reasoning behind them.
    A lot of people, and not just commoners, see "AI" and think "sci-fi robot!"

    Will forums fix the Internet? ( kbin.social )

    In the opinion portion of Kurzgesagt's most recent video, they suggest that going back to small forums, bulletin boards, etc. will help people deradicalize and become more empathetic. The idea behind this is that, just like real life, forums allow people who disagree on certain things to bond under a shared interest or identity;...

    Echo chambers are platform-agnostic I think, so it wouldn't change much going back to forums. I've seen forum-based communities fight about homemade CPU waterblocks.. yeah I don't think they would help much.
    That said, I preferred forums to the recent "Get Discord or get fucnothing!" trend.
