I’m definitely a little late to the party here, but I just wanted to say that I love coffee but almost exclusively drink decaf and the lack of flavors is the bane of my existence.

I think because decaf coffee drinkers are the minority, coffee roasters don’t want to invest a lot in decaf varietals; but if you think about it, decaf should have the most roast/flavor varietals since if you’re drinking decaf, you’re only drinking it for the flavor (you certainly aren’t drinking it for the caffeine).

It really feels like the FTC woke up a little while ago and is finally trying to enforce anti-trust rules.

Though I do worry it’s a case of too little, too late; I remember they had to break up Microsoft a couple of decades ago and it certainly helped for a while. Hopefully these actions can help too, even if things already seem pretty far gone

I’m pleased to see some Gerrymandering being undone, and I’m very surprised not to see the Supreme Court block this. Hopefully more Gerrymandering can be undone in other states as well.

I thought this was a very interesting perspective on the goals and motivation of the Republican party regarding their attempts to remove Black history from schools.

I regularly read Michael Harriot’s threads on Twitter, so I was expecting the episode to be longer; but at 11 minutes long, I encourage you to give it a listen.

One of the rules I liked from the /r/games community was one of the rules you mentioned here: “Use the same titles as the article itself.” I think all the rules you mentioned here are definitely good ground rules as well.

Personally, I would also like to see people adopting the body portion of Lemmy posts to summarize the article, or quote a meaty part of the article; but that could also be used for misleading purposes, so I’m not sure if that’s a good idea without some level of oversight.
