The Windows 11 Start Menu is comically bad.
This machine has a $1600 Core i9 CPU and 128 GB of RAM and this is the performance I often get.

When the #NewYorkTimes lost its way
America’s media should do more to equip readers to #think for themselves

Whether or not American democracy endures, a central question historians are sure to ask about this era is why America came to elect Donald Trump, promoting him from a symptom of the country’s institutional, political and social degradation to its agent-in-chief
...
It is hard to imagine a path back to saner American politics that does not traverse a common ground of shared fact
...
A #journalism that starts out assuming it knows the answers can be far less valuable to the reader than a journalism that starts out with a humbling #awareness that it knows nothing
...
Even columnists with impeccable leftist bona fides recoiled from tackling subjects when their point of view might depart from progressive orthodoxy
...
Illiberal journalists are not out to achieve social justice as the knock-on effect of pursuing truth; they want to pursue it head-on. The term “objectivity” to them is code for ignoring the poor and weak and cosying up to power

How brainwashed do you have to be to spread something like that?
Let's swap the flag for the Israeli flag and the #meme still works. Can snyone really be so stupid as not to notice this? Unfortunately, this meme is being spread here on #Diaspora and my criticism of it was immediately deleted and subsequently I was blocked. So you remain in your filter bubble where no #criticism is allowed to enter and the #conflict continues endlessly.
Unfortunately, we can't ask the biggest supporter of Israel on Diaspora about the topic because I had to block him. But #Anonymiss, you're doing the same thing you just criticized and you're blocking your critics? I put up with his insults for a very long time and his criticism would be much more meaningful without insults.
So the hardliners on both sides are shifting their efforts to propaganda in order to justify their own actions. They denounce the war crimes of the other side and are blind to their own war crimes.
In such a divided world, we should not be surprised if we are ruled by creeps and conflicts are never resolved.

#MrBeast builds 100 wells in #Africa, attracting praise – and some #criticism

She praised Donaldson for shining the spotlight on the need for clean water supply but warned that “the issue is sustainability. It’s one thing to go in and install the well, it’s another thing for us to go back to three, four, or five years from now, and see if that well is still functional.”

As usual, it would seem that everything is the fault of the poor. Yet the reality is that a low, richer percentage of the planet contaminates more than the poorest 50% of the total world population, and that per capita emissions of the richer countries are much greater than those of the poorer ones.
...
Deep down, it consists in thinking “as if reality, goodness and truth automatically flow from technological and economic power as such”. As a logical consequence, it then becomes easy “to accept the idea of infinite or unlimited growth, which proves so attractive to economists, financiers and experts in #technology”.
...
One need but think of the momentary excitement raised by the money received in exchange for the deposit of nuclear waste in a certain place. The house that one could have bought with that money has turned into a grave due to the diseases that were then unleashed.
...
Once and for all, let us put an end to the irresponsible derision that would present this issue as something purely ecological, “green”, romantic, frequently subject to ridicule by economic interests. Let us finally admit that it is a human and social #problem on any number of levels. For this reason, it calls for involvement on the part of all.

The BBC have already faced #criticism for their coverage of the Israel-Hamas war, after not referring to #Hamas as terrorists. It has also been criticised by #Palestine supporters for what they see as pro-Israel bias.

#Bottoms: One of the best #teen movies of recent years.

The idiot crowd on the internet would call this #movie #woke. The movie is about strong women who don't start out as high-flyers but go through a character development from the very bottom. The two friends in the movie are lesbians and think that if they start a self-defense club at their school they can finally have body contact with potential partners. As crazy as the idea is, it will still be realized. Ultimately, you can create something good even with the wrong intentions. The right mix of #humor and #action with still unknown actors is impressive.
The only #criticism I would like to make is that in the end the impression is created that problems can be solved with #violence and that everyone at the school thinks this is okay.

Translation:
The rise of these characters (Trump Bolsonaro and now Milei) is just the side effect of the misuse of the development of communication technologies, the centralization and above all the monopolization of digital communication (social networks twitter WhatsApp etc...).

I can only hope that after being arrested I can still spread #love like #AlexandraSkotschilenko did.
Her story: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleksandra_Skochilenko
On 16 November 2023 she was sentenced, in a St. #Petersburg court, to seven years of imprisonment for replacing supermarket price tags with #antiwar slogans in 2022. In her final statement to the #court, before the verdict was announced, she told the presiding judge: "Your honour, you have a unique opportunity to show an example to society with your verdict ... You can show how to resolve conflict with the help of words and compassion."
Anyone who thinks that Russia is an evil #autocracy should know that even in the West, people who tell horrible truths are locked away, like Julian #Assange.

Has #criticism of the #mainstream now become mainstream itself?
Many critics of the mainstream are turning to alternative media, where distorting or fake reporting is much more common. But since this is the main criticism of the mainstream, this is quite surprising. In a world where people like Trump are elected president, the defense of the mainstream should be the resistance and the criticism is the mainstream.

‘It’s called stealing’: new allegations of #plagiarism against #RoyLichtenstein
Roy Lichtenstein never shied away from the fact that his paintings were based on copies of #comic strips. But some critics of one of the founders of American pop #art have long argued that “copying” was too polite a term. Now, a new film alleges that hundreds of his pieces of work can be traced to other artists.

Why isn't #Twitter (X) dead yet? #ElonMusk has done everything he can to bury the #platform, hasn't he?
In my opinion, it's the journalists who are treated like dirt (💩) by #Musk but just can't let go of the platform.
That's partly because they prefer to make headlines with #clickbait and scandals and still link diligently on Twitter. In this way, they give the platform relevance in the media and make Musk's rants seem like important discourse. On the other hand, it is because the average journalist is apparently too incompetent to discover new platforms for himself.
I'm probably doing an injustice to the little journalist who is just trying to make ends meet somehow. But it's amazing that the big publishers are so inflexible or have made themselves so dependent on Twitter that they can't or won't switch.

In the statement issued on Monday, the governing body said it was "deeply #sorry", that it knew it needed to do more to ensure "nothing like this will happen again" and it condemned "any form of #racism".

Do audiences even trust movie #critics anymore? The downfall of #RottenTomatoes and #media #criticism
Source: https://www.salon.com/2023/09/07/rotten-tomatoes-critics-audience-trust/
The extensive article details the allegations that a PR firm called Bunker 15 has been recruiting and lobbying small, self-published critics who are still part of the countless critics that Rotten Tomatoes monitors. Bunker 15 then allegedly paid specific critics $50 or more for each seemingly positive review, several critics told Vulture.
