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

source: https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2023/apr/09/new-allegations-of-plagiarism-against-roy-lichtenstein

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.

Gymnastics #Ireland issues unreserved apology to black girl not given #medal at event ceremony

Source: https://www.bbc.com/sport/gymnastics/66913866

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".

Shocking that it took them a year and the protest on social media to #apologize.

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.

Whoever writes the history books determines their content. This has been the tradition of the Roman Catholic Church and its forerunners for over 2000 years. Why should Saudi Arabia break with this proven tradition that corresponds to our culture?

#Russia’s pro-war #bloggers become a serious #threat to the #Kremlin

source: https://thebell.io/en/russia-s-pro-war-bloggers-become-a-serious-threat-to-the-kremlin/

The behavior of both the Kremlin and the #Defense #Ministry is the latest disappointment for patriots and Russian nationalists, who have offered scathing #criticism on some of the leading pro-war #Telegram channels. Within the “fog of war,” patriotic Russian channels – many of which are run by people on the front lines or who have good sources in the Russian forces and are often unconcerned about #military #censorship – are almost the principal sources of #information about the true state of affairs at the #front.

I am a big fan of #FDroid but the #error management is a #disaster.

source: https://f-droid.org

F-Droid is free #software and an alternative for the #Google Play Store on #Android on the #smartphone.

Most of the time, everything runs great, but sometimes apps cannot be installed or updated.

The error messages displayed are:
- internal error
- unknown error

So the user is left to find out the error by herself. Often the problem is the space on the device. From time to time, however, you are just guessing and have to wait until the next update. In my experience, this is always due to careless programming. Any error message, no matter how cryptic, is better than what is displayed.
