World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

New Tesla cars look a decade or more old, what are you on about.
They look like Tesla cars from 10 years ago, which is what I was talking about with maintaining brand design identity versus trend hopping, which is an admirable thing. Like Apple or Starbucks or IKEA, whose product design is instantly recognizable and has been established for decades. I'm talking purely from an industrial design standpoint here.
Apple looks totally different than it did 10 years ago.
But you’re right about IKEA, they haven’t changed shit
Why do you think modern Apple looks totally different than it did 10 years ago? Genuine question. Even with all the criticism of Apple I've ever heard, "design inconsistency" has never been one of them.
The latest version of their OS’ is inconsistent as hell. At least for iOS and iPad. It’s a massive half-assed rush job with no thought put into it. It’s very un-Apple-like.
Agreed with macOS 26, those new borders on the finder icons? WTF Apple? That weird edge gap? The fucking corner radius?
What’s next, round windows?
On iOS and iPad OS you get different keyboards if the app you’re using hasn’t been updated to use Liquid Glass. The keyboards have slightly different layouts because of them having slightly different padding. There’s also a bug with key presses not registering properly.
I personally also really dislike the multitasking update for iPad. I didn’t need or want windows, which is whatever, but I don’t see why they had to get rid of the old side-by-side two app snapping system and slide-over apps.
They kept the weird stage manager in addition to the new windowing system. I guess having three different systems is too much, but I bought an iPad to use as a tablet, not a mini laptop.
Both stage manager and the window system is really cumbersome to use when your only input is touch, unlike the old side-by-side and slide-over app system.
Since it’s an iPad, touch is the primary input, but it feels like they’re moving to make it a laptop hybrid first, and I personally don’t care for that.
The massive amounts of added dead/white space in apps is also weird. I guess it can work on iMacs and whatnot with large high resolution displays, but on a regular iPad you just lose screen real-estate.
I do think they’re trying to merge iOS and macOS into a single product-ish…. Slowly. Does that mean we should expect it will lean towards iOS, with more restrictions? Gosh I hope not.
Totally different and design inconsistency are very different
I understand that the iPhone is basically a slab of glass, like most other phones
This is around 10 years apart for the “desktop” mac
What am I holding? An iPhone 3 or an iPhone 11?
