I saw the same thing happen twice already.

Once with Lugi and the other with Tesla. Websites see the traffic that their news bring, so they dedicate 55% and more of their website to cover them in the most dumb way possible.

How many articles do we need about Tesla cars being destroyed or vandalized? At a certain stage it becomes silly and more importantly, the websites covering them is a capitalist websites who would not give a shit about this topics if it did not bring them money.

My question is not about the websites, my question is about the people who read and share their articles, why do they do that? How do they fell for this over and over?

Just to be clear, I am not talking about the articles who deliver new info about the event, I am specifically talking about the article that keep recycling the same info without adding anything new or even offer a new analysis. (The Verge for example)

 

Last December the Court of Milan ordered Cloudflare to block sites added to Italy's Piracy Shield system. Cloudflare sees itself as a neutral intermediary but increasingly frustrated rightsholders say it should play a more active role by assisting their fight against piracy. A decision issued by the same court now requires Google to poison its Public DNS to prevent access to pirate sites. It was handed down on March 11 without Google being heard in the matter.

 

Google ran an experiment to understand the value of European news content. The data shows people visited Google only slightly less often when this content was removed, and Google’s ad revenue did not significantly change.

Apple has been hit with a federal lawsuit claiming that the company's promotion of now-delayed Apple Intelligence features constituted false advertising and unfair competition.

 

A new AI weather prediction system, Aardvark Weather, can deliver accurate forecasts tens of times faster and using thousands of times less computing power than current AI and physics-based forecasting systems, according to research published today (Thursday 20 March) in Nature.

Elon Musk’s social media platform X has launched a legal challenge against the Indian government, accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s administration of unlawfully broadening its censorship powers.

The lawsuit contends that India’s Ministry of Information Technology (IT) has expanded its authority to remove online content without adhering to stringent legal safeguards, allowing government officials to execute takedown orders with little oversight.

Next up they might test making the whole first page for ads, and the pages after that for search results.

The solution is for Firefox to die and for all the payments to be paid to Servo instead.

Servo survived all the problems that got thrown at them without excuses.

Meanwhile Firefox seem to shot themselves every week by their own choice.

I mean who the hell thought that integrating AI into Firefox for example is a good idea.

Yes brother, it's outdated....

The new app name is Mastodon. 😆

I literally wrote a long memes (including a Linardo DiCaprio gif from the wolf of wall street movie) filled comment to tell you to delete your Twitter account and use Mastodon, but I deleted it, because I thought you might misunderstand me and think that it's offensive.

Just wanted to say that.

I actually wanted to keep the title short, but I think it would be better to edit the title to avoid any confusion to make it clear that it's manufactured in China, rather than saying it in the current way.

Edit: I edited the title to reflect the details better.
