Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.

Robin Hood figures comparatively - the AI execs stole our data, our resources, and fucked the supply lines on more than we can imagine AND they’re using it to power fascist surveillance apparatuses.

Anything to hurt the suits in their pockets is a win for the people.

It's not just about hurting executives. Hindering data center operations is honestly a public service.

So I know I’m in several lil online bubbles where most people agree with me, and maybe that’s tainting my perspective, but I’m noticing more and more folks at work and out and about that seem to be completely fucking fed up and getting angrier

[–] reluctant_squidd@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I truly hope it’s not just your bubble.

I keep seeing stuff on folks wrecking those public spy cameras and I almost start thinking people might wake up.

[–] cmbabul@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Same here, I just don’t think it in me to actually hope again, the despair that could follow might actually kill me

[–] reluctant_squidd@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That the funny thing about hope. It’s a choice, not a feeling.

Or something like that. It was a nugget of wisdom from the K-pop movie my kids watched a million times.

So I know sports ain’t huge on Lemmy, but I was an Atlanta and UGA sports fan from the day I way born. Until 2021 there had been over 500 seasons of the teams I loved over around 150 years with something like 5 championships, only one I was alive for and it was the team I gave the least fuck about. The number of “almost getting to the mountain top and coming up heartbreakingly and comically short” I experienced during that time, and reality over the past 10 years has taught me one very helpful if not hopelessly bleak axiom, “without hope there can be no despair”

I want good things to happen, and will work for them to happen, but I’m not believing until I see it, because I can’t handle the highs and lows of that roller coaster anymore.
