  • I think what people are trying to tell you in a more pedantic way, is that all media is biased, because all people are biased and all that unbiased really will mean is that the authors share your same bias and blind spots, so it will look fair, when you don’t understand the ways that it might affect somebody with a different perspective. Even reporting strictly facts has the bias of what facts were not included. It’s impossible to include all facts in a story about something, so the only way to get an accurate perspective is to collect experiences. The pictures people in gaza take of their lives will always give you a better perspective of what is happening than the news organization that doesn’t want to unfairly represent anybody. So accept bias as part of media. Try to find your own blind spots in that exploration. To that end it doesn’t so much matter what you read, but how you read.



  • I have been able to install ad blockers into Chromium, but I can remember if I had to change something somewhere. The point is, that it can be done… But overall I do agree that we Chromium is not fine overall. It needs to be forked to have full community control. FF has been forked a lot and I think that is the only reason we currently have functional browsers. Apparently this is a big problem, because you don’t see other much work in this area apart from servo, which would be great if it could get enough traction to be a full blown browser soon. I will switch on day 1.
