    If you have a better source of both bias and credibility with an API that lets us automate it, I’m open!

      If you have a good source that’s not biased, let’s see it?

      Because if not, why automate introducing a bias.

          It is so biased!

          Have you ever looked at the reviews it gives papers? Like the actual reasoning? It’s biased as fuck.

      I dont. I dont even have a problem with using it to filter out the really terrible sources automatically. But anything further than that is placing too much trust in some guy’s opinion (IMO)

        If only you understood how computers dealt with timezones… you’d be amazed how much critical shit in the world ends up being run by “Just one guy we all sort of just trust”.

          Im aware of ntp, I’ve had to debug timezone errors before. But labeling which news sources are trustworthy and which arent is inherently politcal in a way timezones arent.
