If you read the comment chain again, you will see OP mentioned times of israel first, it is the first time I hear of that news agency.

I also never said that Aljazeera is randomly making stuff up. All I wanted to do is adding something constructive to the discussion. It is impressive how strong the emotions towards a simple bias fact check are, but that just reflects how sensitive the topic in the israel-palestinian war is.

The world is complex and everybody tries to construct a picture of reality that is as complete and objective as possible, and for that we rely on the media. But media is biased and the society you are living in is too.

Reuters is probably less biased then Aljazeera and aljazeera is probably less biased than Fox News. That's how media works.

So what can you do? Consider as many sources as possible, use your ratio, knowledge and experience. And to help you getting an overview of all the thousands of news agencies, you may use a little tool like the one I posted. OP has a profile with posts only from one website, and I say that's sus.

Regarding your last question: I haven't read the article yet tbh.

I did not know the times of israel before you mentioned it. Neither did I compare it to Aljazeera, you did.
I'm sticking to my opinion that fact checking is important, especially with topics like the israel-palastine-conflict. And people should know Aljazeera is a Qatari news agency with strong own agenda. This fact does not imply the article content you posted is wrong, neither did I say this.

No idea if you called me israeli or if you think israeli is an insult. But it is alarming to me and it seems to me you are more part of the propaganda battle than bringing anything constructive to the table.

I am not kidding. Answering to your comment a bit lower as well:

There is no need to explain the methodology as it is very well explained on their website https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/methodology/

Everyone is throwing propaganda at each other in these times, there is a lot of false information floating around. This website tries to structure the chaos a bit. It won't be always right and can't deliver truth, but it does a very important job - assessing the credibility of media sources.

You might not be satisfied with their assessment, and that's okay. A look into your profile let it seem you might be subject to your own bias too. Maybe you could consider consuming some news sources additionally to Al Jazeera, just to get a more complete picture of reality - and no, it doesn't have to be the times of israel.

I did not want to say they are wrong, just give an objective estimate about bias and origin of Al Jazeera.

It's over guys, the enemy found out the position of the white house. With their secret technology they could find out that the color of the white house is indeed white.

Hopefully in the future repairable and used can go hand in hand! Those are not mutually exclusive attributes.

That's true. I use LineageOS to get at least OS updates, but firmware is definitely problematic. I just wished mobile hardware would be more generic like in Desktop PCs, that would solve a lot of problems.

It's a great thing, and I hope the industry (with motivation by EU) will follow a trend towards repairability and sustainability. However I think the most sustainable way is buying used devices.

There are only few things that are really sensitive towards low temperatures - cookie doughs, soufflé and maybe bread. For any other food preheating the oven ia just a waste of energy.
Food companies only write it on the instructions because the time the food needs in the oven is not valid when they have to count in the speed your oven needs to heat up.

Just a meme!

My impression is that at least in Germany it's very rare to get a straw in a restaurant at all. It's usually fast food places, bars and clubs where straws seem to be a thing, and these places usually don't offer metal cutlery.

That somehow depends on what "the country" is you are driving in.

Sounds a bit like the repair tool broke the sound everytime itself you shut down to polish its image

You just have to be very fast

That's cool, but which distro would you recommend?

I do not drink very often, but when I drink I want to feel something from the alcohol. Also I would never drink beer out of a cup.

Check out the definitive Edition then which was released in 2019, the latest DLC with new civilizations was added a week ago. It's a fantastic game with a large active community around it.
