Shit’s dire when Spirit Airlines can’t keep up with the race to the bottom.

Edit: What’s the over–under that Spirit Halloween can get a sick deal on this for a portable costume store this fall?

I can confirm this guide is accurate and very straightforward on the OpenStreetMap and Wikimedia Commons side. Unless I’m missing something, I think “Make sure you publish the image under a CC0 Waiver license” is an overcorrection. You’re just linking to it on OSM, so the Open Database License shouldn’t factor in. I speculate that line is an opinionated one and not related to a technical hurdle for using the image on OSM. CC0 could theoretically be better depending on how downstream users want to use it for e.g. activism – that is, if they want to download the image from Commons and redistribute it. I just don’t know what context that would happen in.

I deserved worse for this, so I appreciate you giving me more dignity than I gave you. You learn pretty quickly on Qatari astroturf farm Wikipedia to accept that, no matter how hard you try, sometimes you’re just inevitably going to be the stupid, confidently incorrect fuckface, and you don’t stick around long if you can’t adapt to that. You cope with it, I think, by fully internalizing that you have to hold yourself accountable in the same way and to the same standards you expect of others because doing otherwise rots your own behavior, your ability to set realistic, useful expectations, and your position to call out others if you think they’ve been negligent.

Oh, sorry. I was mistaking you for pete_link. There’s no good explanation for that; just a total brain fart. Sorry, pele. I have to take the L on that; crow eaten. And I do, for what it’s worth, appreciate you calling out Axel Springer. The owner is a massive piece of shit, even if e.g. Politico is quite reliable for US politics. I just saw it as severely hypocritcal because, well, I thought you were pete_link. Because I was being a dumbass.

Go Map!! is the most popular editor for iOS. Likewise, Vespucci for Android (Street Complete also exists for Android, but its functionality is intentionally very restricted to very basic tasks for beginner-friendliness).

Go Map!! supports arbitrary tag values, so there’s no reason it wouldn’t be able to map them. How easy that would be, I don’t know; I’ve never used it, as I’m on Android.

Well yes. I was Qatar the whole time, funding Jibril Wales’ government mouthpiece.

Obviously I’m talking about Middle East Eye if you want to be a smarmy, obtuse shithead about it while dodging the concern you have no response to.

Edit: Totally mixed up users. Straight-up my bad.

Everyone needs to know the places they get their news from.

You mean like how you frequently post from an outlet (this one) that refuses to disclose its ownership or funding source and is widely believed to be funded by the Qatari government? Or is it different when it’s you?

Edit: Totally mixed up users. Straight-up my bad.

If anyone wants to do a small bit to help: we track these on OpenStreetMap. If you see one, you can check through an editor like iD (the one built into the OSM website) to see if we document it yet, then add it if not. (If you don’t know how and can’t figure out how, you can also leave a note for someone else to find and address.)

• It looks like you looked at their last post and basically nothing else.
• Politico is a reliable source for US politics, and they were correct to post it for the article “Republicans unlock filibuster-skirting power to pump billions of dollars to ICE”.
• I don’t immediately see the OP posting the IB Times over and over or being told why not to.

OP, it’s in committee with four co-sponsors out of 63 senators. Also in committee in the Assembly with five co-cosponsors out of 150 assemblypeople. Cool it with the “will”.

pushing an agenda of slop

I tend to assume “don’t know better, and moderative action for gatekeeping quality on Lemmy is sparse and delayed”. Sometimes we just get Reddit’s backwash because that’s what’s easiest, and Redditors are not discerning either.

But then the seafloor is rising because it’s inside the stomachs of the fish who swim above it. Bastards

Can we please not use the International Business Times? I promise I’ll have a prebaked explanation someday, but until then, here’s the Ars Technica article this sewage drain of an outlet is using as its lone source.

Well don’t groan too much, or…

in about 90% of the cases

And other complete bullshit statistics I ripped out of thin air.

If you think even close to 90% of homophobes – or fuck it, 90% of cases if you think the countable closet gay instances are vastly unevenly distributed among a tiny 1% – are doing it because they’re secretly aching for gay sex/romance, you’re out of your fucking mind and need to take that shit back to high school psychology.

Just like 90% of racists don’t secretly wish they were another race or 90% of transphobes aren’t closet trans, this is egregiously wrong and nonsensical.

Stupid carbrain idiot liberal! People are using the fun one, but traffic flows so efficiently due to calming measures that it doesn’t become congested like the boring, straight one does.

Can we please stop treating AI “confessions” like they mean jack shit? It’s just giving genAI companies the self-seriousness they crave and making anti-AI people look like hypocritical morons.

As noted:

The EU has agreed to ban exports of plastic waste to countries outside the group of mostly rich OECD nations by November 2026, yet half is still being sent to those destinations. Much of the remainder goes to Turkey, now the largest recipients of European plastic waste.

So that’ll be interesting.

If you can’t know if it’s right or wrong, and have to double check it, why use it in the first place?

“If you can’t trust that a friend solved a sudoku puzzle for you without checking it first, why even bother?”

The obvious answer being that it’s much easier to check the solution to a sudoku puzzle than it is to solve it yourself. If you have reasonable means to check compared to going out and starting from scratch, then even a modest enough rate of correct answers can save a ton of time. LLMs don’t have that for me, but that’s also because I’ve been doing research as a hobby for 10 years.

If you know anything about computation theory, there’s an entire class of problems for which checking a solution is (relatively) trivial but finding a correct one is highly non-trivial.
