Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

he "fit the general description of a subject being sought by ICE,"

So, he's got a wicked tan then.

See the funny thing about the English language is that they're almost certainly implying that he looks like a specific person that they're pretending exists. But to me it reads like they're using a general description of all the subjects that they've already detained.

[–] jacksilver@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

Haha, I read it as theyre just going and arresting anyone cause they have a "general" idea of what they're doing.

The general description: brown

In other words, it wasn’t a mistake but standard operating procedure.

Could you imagine? “Hey wanna hop down to America for extreme inner fulfillment through measured hallucinogen intake, and then later bombs and gambling?” Shit, we should get started immediately.

Edit: Thanks.

Reddit used to have a number of people running bots that would de-AMP links. I haven't seen anyone setting up something similar on the Threadiverse, though.

It looks like AmputatorBot is open-source and supports Reddit and used to support Twitter.

EDIT: Though...I don't see activity from the user /u/Killed_Mufasa on the bot subreddit (moderator of the subreddit and it looks like the dev) or commits to the github repo in the past two years, so the Reddit API fiasco might have killed it.

EDIT2: No, /u/AmputatorBot is the bot account, and it's still functional.

The deputy marshal was briefly detained in the lobby of a federal building in Tucson because he “fit the general description of a subject being sought by ICE,” according to a statement from a U.S. Marshals Service spokesperson shared with NBC News on Friday. It is not clear when the incident took place.

“The Deputy US Marshal’s identity was quickly confirmed by other law enforcement officers, and he exited the building without incident,” said U.S. Marshals Service spokesperson Colleen Grayman.

He got stopped in a building lobby....
