news
Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.
If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.
Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.
Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.
Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.
Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

I'm partially kidding but partially not. Ever since it was revealed that the 737 MAX 8 came with software that the pilots were not briefed on at all because it was supposed to be irrelevant, and then it turned out that the software just pointed the nose at the ground, I'm incredibly skeptical of what else we don't know about.
If I recall correctly, in the MAX 8's case, they added the nose-pointing "feature" because the engines are too big for the body of that plane, so they slapped it on instead of properly engineering a functional aircraft.
I don't recall anyone from Boeing going to prison or even losing their job for killing 346 people, so if there are no repercussions to using poorly-tested software to compensate for poor engineering resulting in hundreds of deaths... it greatly hurts my confidence in modern jet manufacture. I know the 320 is not a new airframe like the MAX 8 was but still.
