World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Can any headline that ends in a question mark be answered by the word no?
No.
Here’s a quote from that wiki page you linked to:
A 2018 study of 2,585 articles in four academic journals in the field of ecology similarly found that very few titles were posed as questions at all, with 1.82 percent being wh-questions and 2.15 percent being yes/no questions. Of the yes/no questions, 44 percent were answered "yes", 34 percent "maybe", and only 22 percent were answered "no".
In 2015, a study of 26,000 articles from 13 news sites on the World Wide Web, conducted by a data scientist and published on his blog, found that the majority (54 percent) were yes/no questions, which divided into 20 percent "yes" answers, 17 percent "no" answers and 16 percent whose answers he could not determine.
You are of course correct, the 'law' as written is way too vague to actually even apply in many situations. But it is a fun way to call out articles like this!
I would personally say it is more of a rule of thumb for identifying clickbait journalism. But calling it that isn't catchy enough, much like the first half of this article's headline 😄
I just found it kinda funny that the rule is actually wrong irl since yes is more common across the board, yet when formulated as a question the answer to it is no :)
Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no
Well, it's a bit of clickbait headline imo.
I tried to cut of the last bit. But it wouldn't let me make a post without the original title, unfortunately.
in my tests I could modify the headline has I like. First I put the URL ... there is a suggested headline ... which I can modify or copy and paste ... then I can modify the text of the post. You can even modify it once it is published !
in my [tests]
Tnx for the tip.
I haven't tried it via the website. Mainly using Jerboa lately. I thought it could be a community thing, but I'm no expert though.
Just tried to find the modification button, but it wasn't there (now).
Update: In another layout/ page I found the mod button and managed to change the title!
Test was conducted during transmission electron microscope observation under high vacuum and at extremely small scale.
Powder metallurgy does as much "healing" many times over.
Isn't the cold welding of metals in vacuum well-known? And couldn't the electron beam provide energy to encourage the "healing" as well?
Even if they could invent self-repairing appliances/phones they wouldn't do it... Because then they couldn't sell you new thing
It self-destructs and only self-heals if you’re subscribed
Maybe next time don't buy literally the cheapest version of something. You name the product and you can buy one that will either last for your lifetime or can be repaired forever.
Are you serious? Where did I mention buying things cheap? That's a funny looking straw man you built from nothing. Literal premium flagship phones like Apple/Samsung have planned obsolescence It isn't about buying a cheap product when a lot of busineses follow such shitty practices
Why are you blaming the consumer for a problem businesses have created. Planned obsolescence, doesn't matter how many $$$$ you put into a product. It has a shelf life. Especially with more tech
Why wouldn't I blame the consumer when they areyelling at me about cost at my job all the time? I have flat out told clients that they are making the design worse and it will need to be replaced early over trivial amounts of money and they said they didn't care.
So fuck you consumer. Enjoy your plastic shit which includes your Steve Jobs glowing rectangle
So based on a subset of people who are entitled you are tarring everybody in existence with the same brush. Affordability, cost of living and wages are a whole other fucking issue related to CEO greed. Which is out of the scope of the discussion. The fact you are so bitter about this means it's probably time to find a new job lmao
Oh yes it is only a small fraction of the population. Not clients I deal with every single day. Stop buying cheap shit.
I don't buy cheap shit, stop assuming man. I have never met someone with such a chip on their shoulder Get help
Oh great. First AI, now this.
