Linux@programming.dev•Pornhub saw a 22.4% increase in Linux traffic over 2025English
10·2 months agoI’m struggling to understand why you think the title is misleading. Could you elaborate on your rationale to help me understand? 🙂
Do you perhaps have an alternative title that you would suggest? Would you be satisfied by something like, for example, “Pornhub saw a 22.4% increase in Linux traffic (from [e.g.] 5% to ~6%) over 2025”?

politics @lemmy.world•Elon Musk's version of Wikipedia is 'cribbing' information from the real one: report
1·3 months agoThere is already the Conservapedia doing the same thing. […]
Interestingly, the site is timing out for me right now [1], but I’ve been able to find some interesting archived information: for example, they have a page titled “Conservapedia:How Conservapedia Differs from Wikipedia” [2]. To say the least, I take issue with some of their rationale.

Technology@lemmy.world•TikTok To Be Sold To Trump’s Right Wing Billionaire Buddies And Converted Into A Propaganda MillEnglish
41·5 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.

[…]People don’t care WHO or what does it, they themselves just don’t want to.
Then don’t? Are you arguing that there doesn’t exist an alternative that doesn’t require one to self-checkout?
Be all that as it may, I don’t see it as a justification for, imo, rude behavior towards others — in particular employees who, I would presume, have little control over the actions required of them while they are working.

This gives me big “ok boomer” vibes. Instead of this, imo, snarky response, could you not simply politely say that you prefer a human cashier?
