  • TikTok isn't YouTube. It's two different method to consume videos. TikTok doesn't replace YouTube per se. Some people split the available attention time between them and in favor of TikTok.

    It will be hard to compete on the YouTube field. But, there is multiple places for a different way to consume video with a different user experience.

    On the YouTube field, it will be hard. I don't see creator moving with their community. The same issue has with let say Reddit, Twitter, etc.

  • The guillotine is how they won't escape the crisis.

    Where I disagree is on owning a house. This should not be a primary thing whatever the wealth you have. It's how people make other wealthier.

    Housing is a human right as well as food. It can't be a human right without having a majority of the housing in public hands. It's not free or common housing. It's to give affordable rent to everyone and make housing speculation not worth it.

  • The motivations to van the app matter. Trump wanted to ban it to censure the "wokes". Nepal bans it to prevent the spread of hate speach.

    Social media and mostly the mainstream ones became an issue for democracy. These private companies must moderate before publishing. We must take them to account for what is on their platforms. Social medias are responsible for what is on them at the same level as the people posting it. If they don't want to comply, it's a ban.

  • Through the time, the media has changed. No so long ago, it was to inform the population of what was happening outside. The news freedom is important at this point. It allows everyone to build an opinion, and it's a counter power to the state. The last decade saw a radical change in how we use the media. It's for a good part of them about making money. Where money was critical to inform the population, this same money became critical to make profit. Internet accelerates the movement with the clicks and the views. The run to maximize the profit coming from the media ruined the quality of the articles behind the motto "more and shorter".

  • Bern ist on the map. The french part of the Canton of Bern doesn't use "riclette" either.

    "Riclette" is a word coming from the franco-provençale patois Fribourgeois. In fact, the prononciation of "riclette" sounds really different from "raclette" despite having one different letter.

  • You have an entire bad industry around autism. It's worse than people think with human rights abuses. The industry produces papers with huge methodology and data issues and COI. Autism Speak is the first relay for this missinformation.

  • The interesting part in the NPR article is:

    As the scientific evidence grew over time about the health effects from gas stoves, the industry used a playbook echoing the one that tobacco companies employed for decades to fend off regulation.

    This is the case in each industry from tabacco to at the other end Autism for example. People should do their research and look for the quality of the papers and the COI (conflict of interest).
