In what world would this make sense? People really need to think these things through.

The NGO claimed it has documented Israeli forces confiscating dozens of dead bodies from the al-Shifa and Indonesian hospitals in northern Gaza, alongside others in the south.

Medical professionals reportedly found vital organs, such as livers, kidneys and hearts, alongside cochleas and corneas, were missing, which the Euro-Med Monitor called “evidence” of potential organ theft.

After death you have 4~ hours to harvest a heart. So they’re claiming someone died in Gaza, they got the body to the morgue then Israel captured the hospital, took the bodies and fast choppered them to another medical center, to harvest a heart… all within 4 hours of death.

Sure, but here there are many communities about subjects instead of one.

I’m always hoping for a safety car at this point in a race.

John Redcorn?

So what you’re saying is there is no model besides complete subsidy for news to exist?

It would be impossible for them to you know build a subscription model where you get access to all of their news sites for one fee? Kinda like credit unions do with their ATM networks.

Perhaps offering better value to consumers and incentivize upsells rather than demote them. As someone who had a paper version of the economist they tried /real/ hard to convert me to digital only. Which is a far worse value proposition.

How is it destroying a public good?

The public good is being destroyed by themselves. They’ve been acquired and are running 90% AP Wire service pieces. My local news in a top 10 CMA area is basically nothing but opinion pieces.

Our news has been declining for years as people have moved away from a subscription model. People don’t wake up on Saturday morning and read a paper cover to cover anymore and they have failed to adapt.

“Without access to real fact-based news created by real journalists, Facebook will become far less attractive to users and advertisers,” Deegan said in a statement. “We expect more and more advertisers and their agencies will begin pulling advertising from the platform in response to this unilateral, undemocratic, and unreasonable move.”

This is complete horseshit. How is it undemocratic, it’s a private company and they’re free to do what they want. Canadian Government decided to mandate that by linking you owe a share of your profit. This is not how the internet works. No-one forced the CBC to create an instragram account and maintain it, sharing their own news on the platform.

If you demand to be paid for something, they’re free to not pay for it. Welcome to the real world where you can’t just dictate things to people and expect them to take it.

Here we go… Finally.

I don’t think so really. I picked my national instance and here I am posting to a kbin server.

Return flag(s) to participating retail stores who will dispose of them.

Flags made of natural fibers (wool, cotton, linen) should be burned in a dignified manner; privately without ceremony or public attention being drawn to the destruction of the material.

Flags made of synthetic material (nylon or polyester) should be respectfully torn into strips, with each element of the flag reduced to a single colour, so that the remaining pieces do not resemble a flag. The individual pieces should then be placed in a bag for disposal – the shreds of fabric should not be re-used or fashioned into anything.

Based on my quick google. I’m guessing they’re handling burning them / shredding them.

For those of us in Canada I hope one day we get coverage without Ads… That’s my favorite part of the US GP weekends. :D

I enjoy this comment so much. :D

I have also deleted my apps, and unbookmarked the page. I sometimes still mistakenly auto pilot to the website but quickly get off.

I mean that’s what I did. 😂 The struggle is there are many “general” instances. They’re specifically for anyone to join. I don’t know how you really gate people to the right area…

Well I think it’s stupid and pointless that you miss pointless arguments. Are we doing it right?

Ohh for sure!

What you just want substance in your life? No debates over if Captain Picard could kick Luke Skywalkers ass? Everyone knows it’s Picard all the way. :D

To me Reddit was always the comments and less about the news story. The pulse of what was happening in your country, or town, or hobby, etc. I’m sure that will happen here on Lemmy too in time.

I’m really hoping that lemmy can see a larger uptick in engagement. I know I should be the change I want to see in the world. However the thing I miss the most is pointless arguments in the comments section. :D

14 years here checking in. Such is life, I left digg, I’ll leave Reddit.

Check out some other instances. Lemmy.ml will be taking the brunt of the beating today and for the next 48 hours.

Well you can join any instance and still interact with the others. I’m on lemmy.ca and so far it’s been stable. Think of it more like email than Reddit. Just because your on Gmail doesn’t mean you can’t email yahoo.

Never too late to move :D

I’ve purged my account… and passed the Rubicon. I’m on Lemmy now or just reading news sites.
