In case anyone else has never heard of “MintPress News” - there’s a good reason for that.
The Wikipedia page is a massive stream of examples where they’ve been caught fabricating stories for Putin, Assad, and Iran. They have a track record of making things up wholesale and recklessly endangering actual journalists. Take this example:
If you are wondering how Mnar Adely, an intern with no professional journalism experience, launches a massively well-funded site, maybe here is your answer:
No surprise when it comes to this being posted here, or that it is classified as “LOW Credibility,” and repeatedly listed as “Deprecated” on Wikipedia because “the site publishes false or fabricated information.”
Every. Single. Update.
Sheesh.
Broader adoption of lemmy ensures more longevity, and likely better, more diverse development. Ignore the haters. Everyone was new here at some point and the last thing we should do is pull up the ladder behind us.
Change is good. Change is life. People who oppose change for its own sake are in favor of stagnation.
Good riddance.
Let this be his only legacy.
It’s not federated. There is no roadmap to actual federation.
The code is open, so it’s possible that some dedicated devs may one day spin up a version that is actually federated under a different name.
Yep, in classical biblical literature it’s understood that the “sin of Sodom” was lack of social justice.
It’s the Christian interpretation that made it primarily a sex thing.
Flip-flopping in general happens when people are more rooted in politics than principles. That might be what’s going on here.
No, the joke was funny. I’m just a grump!
Except Transjordan isn’t biblical. It’s the region of Palestine that became The Kingdom of Jordan. As opposed to Cisjordan, which is the region that became Israel and the present Palestine.
But I don’t think we’re allowed to say cis anymore. /s
Can anyone eli5?
Will it federate with AP platforms?
Human memory is not like computer memory. It’s more akin to a workout. Your muscles get strong by repeated stress of a long period of time. Your brain remembers through repeated learning over a long period of time.
Cramming for an exam is a little like cramming for a marathon. Not a good idea.
Study in smaller time segments spread out as much as possible. Vary your study patterns and environment. Use different techniques. Connect details with concepts and narratives.
Well, yeah, although the Germans had plenty of antisemitism of their own. They didn’t need to import it.
They did, however, borrow a lot of policy cues from American Jim Crow Laws.
I think you overestimate the average person’s ability to disable push notifications.
I mean, you could just install GrapheneOS and not allow tracking or location data either. I promise that these companies don’t care about the .00002% of people who don’t play ball.
You might be interested in Magic Earth it is also built on OpenStreetMap but includes crowdsourced traffic data. If you are in a big city then it’s likely they have good data for your area.
Also a great choice. I prefer organic maps for a variety of reasons (like ability to contribute to the maps), but a lot of people prefer OsmAnd. They are both very good.
Don’t forget who took that from you.
Had to check.
Slowly working towards a viable OpenStreetMap in my area. If you want to help, you can make a free account and begin editing: https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/new
You can also contribute on mobile by using Street Complete or any number of great mobile apps that allow limited editing and full map features like Organic Maps
Edit: I didn’t know about Vespucci, which is a full-featured OSM editor for Android. Thanks, @onyxjet@lemmy.world

Even if in the best case scenario, it gives a company direct access to send you unsolicited push notifications.
It’s rarely the best case.
This is social commentary of the highest order. Bravo.
Hostages are taken from their homes or jobs with the express intent to threaten their lives, and exchange them for a political outcome.
Prisoners are apprehended in association with criminal activity, with intent to persue charges and criminal trial. They are held at designated prisons, which are subject to local and international monitoring.
We don’t even know how many of the hostages are alive or dead.
This attempt at moral equivalence is repugnant.
