Have a migraine and am struggling to parse this. Iraq?

Pretty sure another study found Xylitol might have the same issue. I’m personally avoiding sugar alcohols at this point. That said, it severely limits sweetener options for people that have blood sugar issues.

I watch a sketch comedy group that gets abused by YouTube’s moderation. Some of their stuff leans edgy, but the moderation and demonetization seems pretty arbitrary. There is no viable appeal process or viable alternative platform. Reminds me of how Google controls the Play store and removes open source projects for arbitrary or spurious reasons.

I take less issue with aggressive moderation and more issue with the lack of infrastructure to handle the concept that the first line ai decision might be wrong.

Adding to that - Google’s effective monopolization of “amateur” video distribution, and coincidentally monopolization of app distribution and monetization on the 70% market share mobile platform, makes it more problematic that the company is unanswerable to moderation mistakes.

Don’t most 80+ year old men have some stage of prostate cancer?

I’m not saying that you need to understand every aspect of how something works to use it, but OMEMO provides forward secrecy - it is in the first paragraph of the wikipedia article. Delta Chat explicitly does not. Finding the right tool for your needs/expectations is important. We don’t blame a hammer for failing to cut wood.

Pretty sure that has been a feature for at least 2 years. It seems like a reasonable compromise.

Good to see prose moving along.

It is wild to me that street parking is often free and unrestricted in a place like Manhattan.

The idea of Boston being an escape from cold is wild to me! Can you clarify what not being alone means in this context?

Food safety recalls. Source/relevance would depend on your country. Not sure that it meets the criteria for “great”, but I found it better than hoping that relevant recalls would make it to a new source I read.

We put so much important information/data through browsers (and smart phones for that matter), and it is becoming hard to trust third party code running on either. Trust in the publisher has become mandatory for me and the only browser plugin I run now is Bitwarden. Neither the app store operators nor the browser publishers seem to have an answer for reliably thwarting malicious actors. I don’t know what the answer is, other than developing literacy in writing browser plugins and adding functionality through my own code.

Unmoderated user generated nsfw forums were (are?) a beacon for dubious to illegal content. I forget the specifics, but didn’t Pornhub have to pivot from accepting a firehose of free user submitted content after failing to moderate sufficiently? User generated nsfw + free just seems like an impossible balance.

I don’t think the option to put some subreddits behind a paywall is necessarily a bad thing. Hopefully the federated link aggregators are in a better place now to absorb another exodus if reddit does scare off a bunch.

This is probably the least controversial thing, other than the little question whether he’s usurping authority.

I like the preferred list concept. I also didn’t hate when lemmy world used a bot on news subs to post the media source’s political leaning and overall credibility to every submission. Many disagreed with the bot’s source of information, but what if every submission here got an automatic pinned **This source lacks consistent credibility because reasons… ** type post with you maintaining the list/assessment the bot draws from?

Between moderation of the worst of the worst and a strong disclaimer on dubious sources, it might help visitors gain better media literacy.

I’m a bit late to the thread this (last) week, but just wanted to say stay safe! I know multiple people who wiped out on unexpected ice (myself included).

Got a nice snow storm overnight. Always fun when I don’t have to be anywhere.

Maybe this should not be a binary question, but: will this make Israeli public more nationalistic OR find a unifying reason to permanently remove Netanyahu from power? Guessing the former, but one can hope.

Pretty sure the ICC warrant for Putin was already ignored by various countries.
