World News@lemmy.world•Bolsonaro sentenced to 27 years in prison for plotting Brazil coupEnglish
4·4 months agoThe right wing is still powerful over there. The Supreme court judge who voted to acquit bolsanaro is still a member of the court. All it takes is a broken judiciary to enable fascism. And Brazil could easily go in that direction again if the fascists win control again.

Technology@lemmy.world•"Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewershipEnglish
1·4 months agoEven fun videos get search traffic from random queries. A video about robots fighting each other will get traffic from people interested in “robots fighting”, “robots wars”, “robowars”, “armored core”, “Gundam series”
When there are ai summaries for informational or navigational queries there will be fewer clicks because Google will pirate listicle sources of “best robots fighting each other articles”. This means they are stealing from older lists and newer videos will not get mentioned in the ai summary.
This is because ai technology can’t judge the quality of a video.

World News@quokk.au•Donald Trump was an FBI ‘informant’ on Jeffrey Epstein, Republican Mike Johnson claims
4·4 months agoI dont think its semantics so much as a lie.
Theyre trying to imply that trump was a secret fbi informant so they can explain the redactions in the heavily censored files that they plan on releasing to overhang (this is a disinformation technique) the epstein files.
It looks like this is a final draft of the narrative. Its neither plausible nor is it possible (fbi directors could contradict this claim). I doubt it will successfully deceive most people looking for answers about the epstein list.

Technology@lemmy.world•"Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewershipEnglish
151·4 months agoLLMs are doing things like summarizing videos and then using the summaries to answer queries that before would have been a search result with monetization.
Google’s executives are unconcerned about the declinibg incentives to create YouTube videos having been sold on the lie that the future of the internet lies in Ai generated content. In other words robots will make the internet.
Robots which hallucinate constantly.

World News@lemmy.world•Japan and South Korea hope to be friends againEnglish
8·4 months agoWe can only hope. The Japanese royal family has acknowledged to be directly descended from one of the three kingdoms of ancient korea. Their kingdom crumbled under attack and there was a mass exodus to Japan. Later Korean soldiers would attack Japan twice under the banner of the khanate. And Japan would attack Korea under hideyoshi. There has never been friendship between Korea and Japan although the japanese royals are ethnically koreans

World News@lemmy.world•German welfare state 'can no longer be financed' — MerzEnglish
1·5 months agoI should have recognized your point. Yes you are right. But I believe that the individual politicians inside of cdu csu sdp fdp etc as well as the bureaucrats inside of the state security apparatus believed that not countering russian propaganda would cleave the left and this may have backfired. Because it is strange that they outed afd as an obvious russian front but not bsw. Ex posto facto reasoning on my part but the other expla ation for the lack of action is that the German intelligence service truly believes that bsw is not a russian front or they think there’s nothing illegal about russia operating a fake politician party.
But again I’m a foreigner who doesn’t understand the German political system.
Im the usa though they did the same thing when they uncovered a russian influence campaign. They looked the other way and let it all go down (for the most part)

World News@lemmy.world•German welfare state 'can no longer be financed' — MerzEnglish
1·5 months agoI am an outsider who only lived there a long time ago but it looks to me like the party was highjacked by neoliberals in order to split the vote. As far as I can tell German intelligence should have cracked down on both bsw and afd as soon as evidence emerged that they were part of a russian influence campaign. However the neoliberals instead ignored bsw’s russian support… this seems to be an obvious attempt to split leftist parties in half. Die linke is one of the last remaining leftist parties in the g7 outside of france. italy’s m5s is the other. And these parties seem to be losing to the right because the neoliberals sabotage them at every opportunity

Edit: oops bsw is a russian support operation not a neoliberal party. I apologize for that mistake

World News@lemmy.world•German welfare state 'can no longer be financed' — MerzEnglish
51·5 months agoIts crazy to me that the only left leaning party in Germany was split by internal divisions between neoliberalism and progressive politics. How was that even possible when more than half of Germany’s voters are left leaning?
Not deep fried in vegetable oil or lard and much healthier for you while costing less afaik.

science@lemmy.world•Red meat wreaks havoc on gut and drives inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in study on miceEnglish
7·5 months agoThey ate protein moderately and only enough to satiate their appetite. But if they were using storage methods ranging from hot springs to drying and fermentation they were eating red meat daily for months. Remaining meat was given to dogs (which eat unlimited amounts of protein). Fat was what humans ate in vast quantities. They’d go to extreme lengths to eat all sources of fat and marrow.
Although this study though doesn’t make quite the same point that you’re making.
The researchers artificially caused IBD in the mice by injecting them with a compound that damages their mucosal layer in the gut.
So what they’re saying is that once you have IBD you might want to eat a low protein diet. This is consistent with diets that were used to treat diarrhea (which suggests ibd) such as the BRAT diet.

Europe@feddit.org•EU top diplomat Kallas says Russia has no intention of stopping the war as the bloc prepares 19th sanctions package against MoscowEnglish
11·5 months agoI agree that’s not a good idea but it would cut russia off from overt trade with China which would collapse their economy. But that would probably lead to russia threatening nuclear war. Sanctions dont work well against larger nations.

Europe@feddit.org•EU top diplomat Kallas says Russia has no intention of stopping the war as the bloc prepares 19th sanctions package against MoscowEnglish
3·5 months agoThey would have to stop arming Taiwan. The Chinese are backing Russia because their leaders believe powerful nations should have a right to eliminate “threats” near their borders. But I think it is also more likely that China received secret promises and material concessions from Russia over Taiwan and other nations.

Technology@lemmy.world•Study: Social media probably can’t be fixedEnglish
4·5 months agoYes and yes. What is crazy to me is that the owners of social media want more than profits. They also have a political agenda and are willing to tip the scales against any politician who opposes their interests or the interests of their major shareholders. Facebook promoted right wing disinformation campaigns against leaders who they disliked such as mark Carney. Their shareholders should be sued into oblivion and their c levels thrown into prison. Yet our legal system forbids this.

You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK Billionaire Rupert Murdoch owns Fox News, The New York Post, The Sun, The Times, The Sunday Times, Sky News and the Wall Street Journal. He is the most powerful Billionaire in the West
2·6 months agoEverything in recent years has gone sideways. Murdoch initially wanted to build Fox News around Obama but was overruled by Roger Ailes according to reports. Ailes wanted to build conservative propaganda networks whereas Murdoch wanted people watching the news.
Jeff Bezos’s wapo and Murdoch have become allies in exposing the Epstein pedophilia network. And oddly also Walmart. This must have to do with the tariffs and ultimately the economic impact of the tariffs.
