Rules:

1. Be civil

Attack the argument, not the person or their instance. 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. Keep on-topic

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.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.

6. All posts must be news articles.

No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, 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.

Ozzy Osbourne may be gone, but his family is making sure fans will still be able to hear from the Prince of Darkness for years to come.

According to a report from the Daily Mail published on Friday, May 22, Ozzy’s widow, Sharon Osbourne, and son Jack Osbourne revealed plans for an AI-powered digital avatar of the late Black Sabbath rocker. The hologram will reportedly allow fans to interact with a virtual version of Ozzy using his voice, likeness and personality.

“You can ask [the digital] Ozzy anything, and he will answer you in his own voice – and the answers will be what Ozzy would have said,” Sharon, 73, said at the convention, per the publication.

“We’re going to take it all around the world. People can talk to him and he will talk back. Elvis died 50 years ago, and everybody knows Elvis. I just want that for Ozzy,” she added.

However, not everyone was on board with the projects.

“They’re still trying [to] squeeze money out of this man. Let him rest,” one X user wrote.

Another added, “Im sorry that’s ghoulish as f**k, I grew up listening to the man and Alice Cooper in my early teens, but no to this.”
