TIL: How The New York Times Lied During the Red Scare in the 1950’s and Now They are Lying Again about Israel in c/til@lemmy.world

You're using the New York Times to support the idea that the New York Times didn't support the war.

What do you think could be an issue with using that evidence?

Edit: I find it amusing that the article you shared is partially blocked (censored) unless I sign up to the NYT.

These sources show that the New York Times supported the war because it poorly reported the idea that Iraq had WMDs. The NYT did not do its due dilligence, intentionally mislead the public, or a mix of factors.

Remember back when Ubuntu put ads in the dash? I do (~2014) in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world

Are the ads in the room with us right now?

Edit: I thought it was obvious that this was a joke, my mistake.

What are the best resources for getting started with hands-on electronics and robotics? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

If you're wanting to practice soldering, and build a small, cheap project at the same time, I'd recommend cheap project kits from Aliexpress (there are probably equivalents on Amazon). Do projects that are through hole soldering first, before attempting SMD components.

There are plenty to choose from and they're cheap, so if it doesn't work then it doesn't matter much.

LED Christmas Trees
Digital Clocks
Bluetooth speaker - the SMD components are done for you.
FM Radio Kits
LED Sound Spectrum Display - Lots of practice with this one

There will be plenty of Youtube videos of people putting these things together if you want to know more.

Have fun!

Well then, they don't sound very nice over there.

How do I stop from over sharing/being too deep to new coworkers. in c/autism@lemmy.world

To add to this: take notice of how much they are sharing back. If all they are saying are acknowledgements (e.g "Yeah", "of course", "I hear that", "wow, that's crazy") then they aren't really with you in the conversation. The dialogue has become a monologue.
