News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

This isn't a matter of "making life better" in the sense that I am familiar with: that is, making a fairer, welcoming and livable place for everyone. This is that you and the person above have a certain preference that I don't share, and you expect me to somehow enable you to realise that preference.
Your desire to be able to remote start your car in a particular way is not comparable in the slightest to issues of societal justice and trying to guilt trip me into enabling your consumer choices is, again, childish. If you don't want to pay for a service don't pay for it. If you wish there were a service which doesn't exist, go and make your desires known to the people who may provide it. Don't demand that someone else foregoes their preferences to enable you.
Doing so is as coherent as if I were to demand that you stop buying cars that aren't green because I wish more manufacturers made green cars. I do wish that, but you don't have any responsibility to help me with it.
Yes it'd be nice if i woke up and everything is automated and remote started, that's how billionaires live. But this isn't about what i like and dont like or prefer and dont prefer, this is about looking at this huge machine that is destroying people and judging it. We're not demanding anything, just pointing out the money we pay for these conveniences literally goes to the pedophile class in control of the government (along with our personal data which they leverage to make even more money.)
I agree nobody has any responsibility for it, (except maybe those at the very top), but I wonder if anyone's going to step up and stop them in the name of doing what's right. I won't, im just a consumer schmuck like you trying to figure out how i will survive in retirement in a few decades.
I don't think you can draw the causal chain between me paying for a service I want and anyone being "destroyed". Or perhaps you can, but it'd be so long and indirect you could apply the same chain to buying anything from any company.
