I like to look at who owns a news source and which country it is operating in to get an idea how reliable it might be.

It is also worth looking at the rethoric: do the headlines seem clickbaity? Do the articles cover more than one side to a story?

I also look at the kinds of stories a news source covers, and whether it seems like they push some sort of agenda from the things they choose to report on.

But yeah, I have come to find a bunch of sources I trust, and that I go to for news.

Training good models requires lots of training data and computational resources, so the only ones who can afford to train them are big corporations with access to both. And the only objective they have is to increase their profit.

Donating blood plasma is good as it helps people in need. Sure, it sucks that there is a company in the middle making a profit, but not donating is not the solution to that problem, as it hurts the people in need more than the corporation in the middle.

I think its kinda similar to the tipping situation. Yes it sucks that restaurants don't pay their employees properly and that you have to tip to support the employees. But not tipping hurts the employees rather than the restaurant owner.

In both cases, if we want change, we need to change the legislation.

It's not like I hate other operating systems, I just really like the idea of FOSS and try to use it whenever possible.

I think most humans have a certain desire to gossip, probably a side effect of us being social animals. I can imagine that gossiping can be somewhat beneficial if you live in a tribe or small town.

With our way of life shifting to large cities in which you hardly know your neighbour, and digitalization making sure we regularly see these celebrities, I can see how that might trick our brains into caring about their everyday lives.
