Commented in Apple and Meta headsets could face a big challenge: Sticker shock
Sitting down in front of a computer or looking at a phone is one thing. Putting headgear on to play a game is not something I'd want to do, and the price makes it seem even less appealing! The article itself was great, very well-written journalism. I love the reporting and the choice of article here, I just can't imagine myself wanting to use a headset to access the metaverse.

Commented in Fifty new outlets, 250 journalists: Canadian startup unveils plan to revive local news
It's a journalism revival! And do we ever need trustworthy, objective sources of news these days.

Commented in Elon Musk's SpaceX raises $850 million in fresh funding - CNBC
It's an interesting news-item, but the last months I get annoyed with how sources are presented: "citing so-and-so familiar with this-and-that". Pretty much every goddamn article has at least one such mention or type of reference and it doesn't make it any more trustworthy or at least clear. Journalism has gone down the past decades and no artificial intelligence is helping it either.
Having said that, I think it is very interesting how space-exploration is developing the last years. On one hand lots of countries are having their own (sometimes very advanced) space programmes, on the other hand it is also becoming a rich peoples' playground. I am curious how this will develop the coming years. :-)
Edit: and how about going off topic in the last two paragraphs doesn't add much to forementioned quality.

Commented in Edward Snowden says "war on whistleblowers" trend shows a "criminalization of journalism"
Sadly, it has become the new norm in journalism.

Commented in Google got rich from your data. DuckDuckGo is fighting back
A wonderful and well-researched piece of journalism. I loved getting to read the behind-the-scenes info. I use DuckDuckGo as my default search engine for almost everything. The exception for me is local and hyper-local searches, where Google still excels.

Commented in The Moral Question of Ad-Blocking
I 100% agree with what the previous commentors put. My attitude is "You have the right to put whatever ads you want on your website, just as I have the right to use an ad-blocker."
In particular, I think this is where online newspaper journalism went downhill. The vast majority of these had very spammy annoying ads, which was exactly the opposite of what their clientele wanted. If you are the type of person looking to get a well-researched piece of newsworthy journalism, you are not going to be the type of person who is going to tolerate spammy ads. Such ads are pretty much the EXACT OPPOSITE of what the person was looking for when they browsed that newspaper site in the first place. Then the newspapers complain they can't make money. Well, they shot themselves in the foot. I agree with Maternitus that a notable exception to this behavior is The Guardian, which asks for donations politely and in a non-intrusive manner.
Going back to talking about sites in general (not just newspapers), I also agree with what everyone else put which was that if publishers can't make money due to ad-blocker use, then they need to have a different business model. That's the publisher's problem, not the consumer's.

Commented in What went wrong with virtual reality?
Yeah, I personally don't find the idea appealing of putting a cumbersome pair of goggles on my head. I did like the analysis they did and how they interviewed people and did a well-researched piece. Good journalism, and I can't see myself doing VR anytime soon.

Commented in Amazon and Apple will be our doctors in the future, says tech guru Peter Diamandis
This is a well-written article that showcases both sides of the argument. I personally don't agree with the opinion of tech guru Peter Diamandis, but I did like seeing good journalism that gave a balanced report on healthcare in relationship to big tech.

Commented in U.S. charges Julian Assange under Espionage Act
How do you figure Assange is not a journalist, exactly? Because of Wikileaks's perfect record of joumalistic accuracy?

Commented in The Magazines Publishing One Another’s Work
This is important to the future of Journalism - in the proper manner!

Commented in Demand for tiny homes is getting bigger
A very interesting topic. I would have liked to see the journalism cover a little more detail, such as whether heating or plumbing is modified in any special ways compared to standard sized homes.
-
Commented in UK satellite nets 'junk in space'
A fascinating concept, a neat experiment there! Wow. Unrelated to the journalism, I would have liked the video not to have to require AdobeFlash - that is SO out-of-date! But even without watching the video, it was a captivating article.

Commented in Should we wipe mosquitoes off the face of the Earth?
Surprisingly, this article looked solely at it from (both sides of) the ethical standpoint. The ecological impact didn't even rate a mention! Usually, getting rid of a species can have unintended ramifications on other organisms (those who use it as a food source, etc etc). I'm not saying I don't want mosquitos gone, I'm saying that I was slightly shocked at the journalism here, that it didn't even consider the ecological viewpoint about the effect on other organisms. Even if it was thought that there would be NO issues, it would be helpful if they'd stated that, and the reason why.

Commented in A brave soul bringing the news.
This is too funny. Thanks for the good laugh :P I feel like the news on TV these days is extremely exaggerated and overdramatizated. "Yellow Journalism" seems to be getting out of hand and has become much, much worse and much more prevalent over the last several years.

Commented in Folks Are Angry Over Fox News Job-Shaming Ex-'Cosby' Actor For 'Bagging Groceries'
How is that, by the ageless principle that “If you smelt it, then you dealt it?” I’m not saying The Daily Fail and Faux News are yellow journalism — you know that as well as I do — but if we’ve any honesty at all, observing how an issue is framed is not the same thing as framing it that way.

Commented in Eight million bottles' worth of Champagne grapes wiped out by freak hailstorms
This must indeed be hard for those who are growing those grapes. The article did a good job with researching actual numbers, but one thing where I felt the journalism could have been improved: nowhere in the article was there any mention of weather insurance and its impact. Even if many growers did not have weather insurance, that in itself would have been helpful for readers to know. But the article did not even consider that very relevant point.

Commented in How Amazon Is Using Whole Foods In a Bid For Total Retail Domination
Great in-depth piece of journalism here. I liked the thorough analysis, and it still managed to keep it interesting.

Commented in The Latest: EPA bars AP, CNN from summit on contaminants
The Associated Press, an association of American newspapers, did break the old, colonial, semigovernmental news and propaganda cartels' hold over world news distribution. Ostensibly true and unbiased objective journalism is as the AP once claimed, the greatest gift America'd ever given the world. To call the AP objective though? It's, in itself, something of a cartel. Might be more accurate to say that it's representative of a certain, orthodox Washington consensus worldview. They may look the other way around the Swine Emporer's day-to-day racketeering, he's a war president in a solidly Republican controlled era in American history. But he's not too bent for the savvier grifters operating out of the Beltway to get in there with angle grinders.

Commented in US cell carriers are selling access to your real-time phone location data
Wow! Interesting news, and a great piece of journalism too. Well-researched and well-thought-out. The only question I'd have would be whether this location data would still work if the phone was turned off? Regardless, for privacy reasons, I have now decided I will turn off my phone at random times each day. Besides being a good privacy practice, I figure it will also help me focus more and minimize the distraction of checking my phone.

Commented in Prof Hawking's multiverse finale
Oh, I didn't mean commentary in the sense of leaving comments at the end of the article. I was criticizing the journalism of the article for not interviewing any other scientists about Prof Hawking's theory. They don't need to ask a whole cohort of scientists, but it would help for them to get a brief statement from one other scientist in the field that was not already working with Prof Hawking. This would allow readers to get SOME sense of whether the theory is realistic, not realistic, etc.

Commented in 20,000 scientists gave a catastrophic warning about the fate of humanity – and people are listening
You are right, it is word salad, even the link he provided had no link to the letter. Lazy journalism. I found the letter(I think) and added here.

Commented in The Case Against Google
A long, but interesting read. It's more about how Google has affected other tech startups as opposed to how Google has affected consumers. An in-depth and well-researched piece of journalism.

Commented in Biden: McConnell Refused To Sign Bipartisan Statement On Russian Interference
I know, right? It's literally an antipattern in truthseeking. As if meticulously transcribed hearsay from anonymous high government officials was prestigious journalism about absolute truth rather than, say, a leading cause of truth decay and journalistic malpractice.

Commented in Kentucky State Rep. Dan Johnson commits suicide on bridge in Mt. Washington
I've since read the article and it's fascinating, not just as a context for this story but as a reflection on investigative journalism, local politics, etc.

I highly recommend you check out "Trust Me, I'm Lying" for more disheartening insights into the world of shady journalism.
