I realize this isn't explicitly a news community, but man, Lemmy has a thing for posting old articles as if they were just published. I mean, this is probably fine in a tech community like this, but I just want to point out how common it's becoming across lemmy.

I posted this because I saw a video on the subject today (linked it in the post body) but wanted to post the original source instead of the video.
