Yeah, I shouldn’t have commented. That post ended up in my hot/all feed and I didn’t really look at the community. I was frankly quite confused as to what’s up with these people until I saw the upvoted Russian propaganda comment which cleared things up quite a bit.
I made the mistake of commenting on this post where people clearly think that the Hamas are the good guys and have every right to do what they do. Apologies for linking to it.
That’s actually a really nice idea. Maybe using the same prefix for different types such as "software license" would help to differentiate. I didn’t realize that website doesn’t actually have to be a website. This is probably the way to go, thanks :)
It’s an iOS/Webkit bug. I had a cumbersome workaround for that, but it wasn’t worth fixing it that way as it was complicating things a bit too much and most people probably never notice.
Hm, that might actually be the way to go. Tbh the non-logins are definitely in the minority for me and I‘m probably not using them too often. It’s just slightly annoying to have everything in two places, but might still be worth it. Thanks :)
I assume you’re talking about the entire "shouldersurf PIN, steal phone" storyline? That’s also something I’m considering. But there’s a few things that seem a lot nicer with keychain. Autofill on iOS 17 only works with keychain (maybe my PM is just not yet supporting it), no subscription price etc. Also the chrome extension (which my PM also doesn’t have, I’m using Minimalist btw).
I was thinking about that as well. How are you structuring this? A folder and then one note per item? I’m assuming you can then search the title but not the content? Or does everything go into a single note?
It’s definitely worth having that bot and I think it’s great that you’re putting the work in. It just doesn’t fix all the "misleading headlines" issues if people don’t even look at the comments or don’t read the (not super short) summary.
I’ve seen a few bot-tldrs and while I really appreciate the idea, I’m not sure if they achieve that 100%. The summary is often a bit long (sometimes just as long as the article) and as I understand it the one I see most often is grabbing sentences and stitching them together, which is nice since it keeps the actual content, but it can be a bit awkward to read.
Maybe yours is working differently, I think generally speaking it’d be best to have one paragraph summarizing the article (chatGPT-style), or having a tool that creates new headlines based on the content and replaces the actual headline itself.
Even with the perfect summary, there’s still the issue that people have to look at the comments to see it. I‘d imagine most people just scroll past the post itself.
There’s a difference between clickbait and misleading though. It probably often overlaps, but headlines can be clickbait without being misleading: "Doctors hate this one trick" isn’t really giving you wrong information. "Signal Denies Existence of Zero-Day Vulnerability on the App", however, strongly implies that Signal has a security flaw that it stubbornly refuses to fix, which harms the reputation of the App and isn’t at all true if you read the actual article.
That’s the main issue I’m having with these headlines. They‘re not just annoying, they’re spreading misinformation.
Yeah I’m with you on that one. I often feel like I might get it wrong and it’s generally best to keep the original. More often than not the answer is probably to just not post the article at all, if the headline is misleading and the actual news is far from newsworthy.
