Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

When is the next Trump impeachment? We haven't had any for a while, it feels like. Maybe they can finally make one stick.

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 22 points 1 year ago

The impeachments stuck, both of them. The problem was that once it came to actual consequences for that guilty verdict, Republicans decided that they were okay with what he did. Guess what? They're fine with what he's doing now too.

More attacking of the vulnerable. These are the values of your neighbors.

John Hopkins covid data was stored on GitHub. If github ever took it down, it would be insanely trivial to push it to a new remote on gitlab or codeberg.

Its a fucking mistake to store public healthcare data on a centralized website instead of a decentralized VCS like git.

I hope we learn this lesson.

I think it would also be a mistake for public data to be stored on something microsoft owns.

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Did you read what I said? Even if you use Microsoft servers, its portable.

[–] FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes but on principle someone who wants to access public data shouldn’t have to interact with microsoft.

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 4 points 1 year ago

Sure, so mirror the git repo. Easy.

This isn't the first chunk of data pulled from CDC's website that I've seen. I'm curious, does anyone know of any archives elsewhere some of us can help backup offsite?

https://archive.org/details/20250128-cdc-datasets Download it to create redundancies. Datahoarder for life! Also, the fear now is NCBI going down.

Trump’s administration has ordered federal government staff to remove any references to “gender ideology” on public websites, NBC News reported, with a deadline of Friday afternoon.

Nice to see them finally admit that gender is a social construct.

Too bad it's in a "not that way!!!" sort of way.
