Unrelated but the additional padding at the bottom of each page is an unexpected QOL feature I didn't know I needed.

Short Summary

1. In the 1950s and 60s, there was a belief in a golden age of news where information was delivered without political bias, shaped by cultural, technological, and political forces.
2. The rise of television, figures like Joe McCarthy and 60s radicals, and even Ronald Reagan played a role in shaping the news landscape.
3. The aftermath of World War II highlighted the power of propaganda and the need for responsible news delivery.
4. Government sought to regulate news organizations through acts like the Radio Act of 1927 and the Fairness Doctrine in 1949 to ensure programming was in the public interest.
5. During the era of television news, objectivity was valued, with news programs not expected to make money and a doctrine of social responsibility guiding ethical journalism.
6. The New York Times set high standards for objectivity, with television news aiming to emulate this model.
7. Clips from the era showed commentators presenting opposing viewpoints without bias or emotionally loaded language, allowing the audience to form their own opinions.
8. Anchors like Walter Cronkite maintained impartiality even when reporting on controversial topics like the election results of pro-segregation candidate George Wallace.
9. Journalism in the 60s and 70s shifted towards a more active approach, with journalists encouraged to call out lies and take sides based on facts.
10. By the end of the 60s, there was a noticeable shift towards more activism-driven content in newspapers like The New York Times, departing from earlier eras where objectivity was considered the highest journalistic goal.

The site also has an active Discord community of around 35k members, who actively participate in discussions, art competitions, even a chess tournament.

lulz, but this is probably a big reason why this happened, discord servers pay our pretty well and profiting with this stuff probably got some legal teams a little pissy

But Oracle will be leading towards an "offer" to overlook earlier unlicensed software if they agree to sign up to the new subscription model, Biggs said.

So...Oracle is just adopting the mafia mentality to accomplish this? Yeesh.

A lot of healthcare facilities are running EOL operating systems like Windows XP or Windows 7 because the programs they use for billing or other reasons are stuck on that version. You would be shocked at how prominent this is across most "modern" infrastructure. The resistance to change stems from a "if it isn't broken, don't fix it" mentality. Pagers are still the most reliable ways to reach a doctor, which is why they're still used, not because they're necessarily the most secure.

As easy as it is to point blame at "duh boomers" the situation with healthcare in particular is much more nuanced. Though I do agree that any luddites in charge of major hospitals are not helping the situation at all.

The tshirt looks really cool

Real ones remember vlemmy.net. One of the first instances post-Reddit migration to go away suddenly

That's what I'm hoping for, got burned in some Blender courses a few years ago when I didn't do some due diligence lol. Thanks!
