  • How do I fact-check the news (step by step)?

    Jump

  • I never trust any source of information.

    For every article, no matter the source, I think if what they say is logical and coherent. If there's any conflict of interest or if the source may be interested into pushing a particular agenda. If there's something real attached, like the article is talking about a new law or scientific paper or something officially published, or maybe a video, I try to go find the original source and read it directly.

    After all that I try to only believe the parts that I could verify or find logical and coherent, discarding the rest as that particular media propaganda (which is also useful to know that several people is going to think that).

  • Now I have a doubt. Could you have a stable orbit around the singularity but inside the event horizon? Or is the orbit speed above c?

    Maybe you could live a comfy life there.

  • Moat of these platforms are not recording things that benefit from horizontal recording. It's not a cinematic shot, they are not making movies.

    Take into account that the content on this platforms tend to be personal videos. A person talking, dancing, something like that. It's a type of videos that get fits better in a vertical format anyway.

    We all have read the copypasta about vertical videos back in 2002 but times have changed.

  • There's no conspiracy here.

    It's far more comfortable to watch vertical videos in a phone instead of having to rotate it constantly for each video.

    It's also more comfortable to record videos vertically using a phone, which makes a direct translation to post a vertical video in a platform that's phone oriented.

    A platform like tiktok would be really shitty with horizontal videos. It's clearly a platform designed around vertical videos and people enjoy it, it works just fine.

  • Most people don't do that. The format of the videos is going to adjust to its public. Short videos meant for TikTok, stories or shorts, are going to have a vertical format because that's the way most people will enjoy them.

    If you are happy you are happy.

    It would be different to discuss if it would be long term sustainable.

  • Why is blue and pink traditionally associated with men and women?

    Jump

  • I read that the paintings "pinkie" and "the blue boy" were famous at the time when mass consumer products started being commercialized, thus the association.

  • How does one join a terror group? Like example ISIS , do people go to a secret website sign up and get provided flags, bomb parts, or whatever? Or is it just a person saying what they did was for ISIS

    Jump

  • Most recruiting comes from legal extremist groups with linked ideologies.

    Usually terrorists will approach you, more than the other way around. After you've been profiled you may be invited/coerced to join.

    If they want you to make an "action" (they usually not call them terrorists attacks), they will provide you with minimal information, and the supplies will only be provided strictly when needed. Depending on what you are doing it can be hours of weeks before the action. Training will be non-existent. Most terrorist actions do no require training, just a human to do simple actions. If you are in an active warzone it would be different, you'd be trained as militia. But for typical domestic terrorism they won't really provide training right of the back. If with time you grow into the organization they may train you in shooting if you would be doing actions which require shooting a weapon, or in explosives if you are going to be more involved with that. But terrorist groups tend to rely in recruiting already trained people more than in training them themselves.

    As for ideological brainwash, you are expected to have some good degree of radicalization before joining, but a great degree of brainwashing will happen in jail once you are caught. A terror group is another prison gang, and they will try to keep you inside their ideology while in prison so you can continue working inside and, maybe, outside once you are out, probably not with direct actions anymore.

    At least that's my understanding on what happened with ETA and yihadism here in Spain

  • Ignoring lemmyhate, are programmers really using AI to be more efficient?

    Jump

  • It's good for what it's good, and bad for what it's bad.

    If you only use it for what is good I would suppose it would be easy to be more productive. Sometimes is faster to ask an LLM than trying to surf through pages of SO "repeated question" to get an answer.

    I use mostly for things like that, questions, translation between languages (for instance having some working code in one language that you want to quickly translate to other language), boiler plate of well known algorithms and functions.

    For full programming development I've no luck to make it work. And trusting it to refactor all your code would be something hilarious.
