looks like their product is intended to feel as close to Microsoft as possible
Maybe that's why they picked a name really easy to mistake for another office software suite, to mimic Microsoft's atrocious naming schemes :P
This comment reminded me, I have met some people who played in a French/German improv league (LIBER). They're based in Berlin and perform in both French and German. I'm not sure how they incorporate both languages, but I believe it's just a free-for-all, speak what you want, answer in whatever type situation.
Je ne m'attendais pas de voir un thread au sujet de l'impro sur Lemmy!
The improv match format you're referring to is ~~pretty much exclusively~~ mostly a thing in the Francophone scene. L'impro-match, or l'improvisation gravelienne, or l'impro style LNI started in the 70s' in Québec out of the experimental theatre scene in Montréal, before spreading to other French-speaking countries.
The closest I've found on the Anglo side of things is stuff like theatresports or the Canadian Improv Games. There are similarities but the hockey theming is absent and the formats vary in multiple ways.
EDIT: I found this improv league in Spanish in Argentina who follow the same format with a direct link to the OG Ligue Nationale d'Improvisation. Like I mentioned in a reply to another comment here, there's also LIBER in Berlin, who play in both French and German. When the referee reads the theme card, they specify if the improv will be in French, German, or a mix of both.
For the sake of our democracy, American hedge funds should be banned from owning Canadian newspapers.
Facts in and of themselves aren't biased. Bias is introduced when you consider which facts get broadcast, and which don't. The context in which facts are stated also adds bias. I think that bias is fundamentally inherent to humanity.
You're probably right about people ignoring bias markers, but I was thinking more "incorporating your bias consciously, rather than subconsciously, throughout the article" instead of a bio or blurb at the top.
Here's the link on Github. It doesn't seem to be on the main F-Droid repo, only IzzyOnDroid's, so I don't know why the other commenter tried to link to it on the main repo.

I think this is part of a larger issue, in which people, even a lot of journalists I know, see news media as this bastion of neutrality and facts. It's a noble goal, which I do think journalists should pursue, but in reality any news publication will have biases. Even just which news you decide to highlight can bring up bias, let alone the actual things you write about the news.
Things would be a lot better if every journalist, whether right-wing, left-wing, or centrist, were upfront about their views and how the environment they're in shapes them. Bias is unavoidable, but being upfront about your biases can at least properly frame your views.

Getting stoned and getting the magic rocks in my homelab to do my bidding is one of my favourite ways to use up my time on this Earth.
