Technology@lemmy.world•TikTok To Be Sold To Trump’s Right Wing Billionaire Buddies And Converted Into A Propaganda MillEnglish
41·3 months agoTikTok To Be Sold To Trump’s Right Wing Billionaire Buddies And Converted Into A Propaganda Mill [1.1]
The title feels misinformative to me given, the following from the article:
[…] Trump insiders claim to be zeroing in on a deal that would sell 80% of TikTok’s U.S. assets to […] [1.2]
To me, the title infers that TikTok is being sold with certainty, whereas the content of the article sates that a deal has yet to even be reached.

Are you okay with a self-hosted solution? If so, you could, for example, self-host FreshRSS [1], and then use it to scrape a feed using XPath [2]. I can elaborate further on the method if you are interested.

In my opinion, that statement of yours is, ironically, responsible for why there may be an issue with misinformation. You state it with certainty, yet you provide no source to back up your claim. It is my belief that this sort of conjecture is at the source of misinformation issues.

Regarding my own content: I do my best to cite any claim that I make, no matter how trivial. If I make a statement for which I lack confidence in its veracity, I do my best to convey that uncertainty. I do my best to convey explicitly whether a statement is a joke, or sarcasm.
Fundamentally, my approach to this issue is based on this quote:
Rationality is not a character trait, it’s a process. If you fool yourself into believing that you’re rational by default, you open yourself up to the most irrational thinking. [1]
Regarding the content of others: If I come across something that I believe to be false, I try to politely respond to it with a sufficiently and honestly cited statement explaining why I think it is false. If I come across something of unknown veracity/clarity, I try to politely challenge the individual responsible to clarify their intent/meaning.
For clarity, I have no evidence to support that what I’m doing is an effective means to this end, but I want to believe that it’s helping in at least some small way.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are songs that act like a prequel or a sequel to their more popular songs?
2·5 months agoNope! I do it all manually; though, it can definitely be tedious at times. It has crossed my mind to write a script to automatically generate at least some of them (or even just some of their components), but I just haven’t gotten around to it yet.
Also, as a side note, the citation style is my own that I’ve been “developing”. I’m sort developing it as I use it.
