World News@lemmy.ml•Mexican president urges end to 'irrational' Ukraine war, wants Russia at peace talks
1236·2 years agoThe only person who said 3 days was some random US general, why are y’all using it as some sort of gotcha?

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is the most logically empty argument that supports capitalism?
28·2 years agoProbably not the most, but:
“Capitalists are job creators.”
The jobs will exist with or without them.
WaPo just publishes Bezos’s marketing emails.
lol you didn’t even bother clicking the link did you?
VOA is part of the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), the government agency that oversees all non-military, U.S. international broadcasting. It is funded by the U.S. Congress.
Type: Statutory corporation with a royal charter
A statutory corporation is a government entity created as a statutory body by statute.
It doesn’t matter what language you try to couch it in, “state funded”, “editorial independence”, whatever. It was founded by the state, is funded by the state, and is a government entity. If it quacks like a duck.
mediabiasfactcheck, the site that squashes two complex spectrums (left vs right, unbiased vs biased) into a one dimensional line, making no distinction between centrism and being unbiased.
and reliable reporting as you can get outside the BBC
“Russian state owned media bad. British state owned media good.”
I guess you’re just assuming it’s bad based on its name
No, we know it’s bad because it’s literally run by the US government.
You probably weren’t even alive under communism. Or if you were you were a child.
Putin isn’t a Nazi, Prigozhen is.
And even if it was Nazi vs Nazi, you shouldn’t be rooting for either side.
Why are you rooting for the Nazi private military?

Україна | Ukraine 🇺🇦@lemmy.ml•WSJ: Ukraine could be forced to compromise. With support for the war against Russia waning in the U.S., the counteroffensive may define a new border.English
0·2 years agoAre you saying that being a centrist and being unbiased are the same? Is there no such thing as a centrist bias?
And don’t say I’m putting words in your mouth. You said that my comment isn’t fact, so what about it isn’t factual?
Or are you saying the site does make that distinction? Because their scale of left bias - unbiased - right bias with a complete lack of centrist bias is proof that they don’t. Here’s the proof of my claim, right from their website, the center is labeled “least biased”:

Programmer Humor@lemmy.ml•This is not a meme, I was trying to find content for an OC /c/programmerhumor post and found this
1·2 years agoGenerally aligning stuff isn’t nice. But if you do, it’s tabs up to whatever level of indentation you’re at then spaces the rest of the way. So you wouldn’t have to assume a tab size. And the tabs and spaces have different semantic meaning (indent vs alignment) so mixing them makes sense. It’s even built into Jetbrains IDEs, where it’s called “Smart Tabs”.

Although really just adding a level of indent is better than aligning.

You mean when life expectancy was higher and alcoholism was lower?

Announcements@lemmy.ml•Lemmy Release v0.15.1: Private instances, New User Registrations, Email Verification, and Temporary Bans. 🎉
2·4 years agoHi, I’m a dev from hexbear and it looks like my first UI changes (relating to post listings) were included in this release.
Here are the changes I made:
- Expanded image and body now show below the rest of the listing.
- And also offset to not be under the votes and thumbnail.
- Post title doesn’t jump to a new line when you expand the image.
- Thumbnail doesn’t disappear when you expand the image.
- Does not apply on mobile since things don’t jump around as much.
- Clicking expanded image opens the original in a new tab.
- Does not apply on mobile since you can just long press.
- Instead tapping the image closes it.
- pictrs images now prefer the original format over jpg.
- Rendering split into many functions to improve readability.
- Post actions are now on the same line as the comments button.
- Post actions now show on mobile.
- Comments button made larger.
- Expanding or contracting an image now expands or contracts the body.
I’d love to hear any feedback or ideas anyone here may have.
- Expanded image and body now show below the rest of the listing.


Sounds like a coup might be incoming.
