Some of us have jobs where there’s no choice.

Well hamburg steak originated in Hamburg, which Americans then added the bread to to turn it into the hamburger sandwich that everyone thinks of now. Though these days I don’t think you can commonly get hamburg steak even in Hamburg, so it’s probably mainly japan. At the very least any german will think of the sandwich when you say hamburger.

(Not the original guy that replied to you) I do agree about the blandness of many logos (god I hate flat design) and think the logo on the left is very bland, but the one on the right just does not work in many contexts. There’s a middle ground where it works just fine, but with as much detail as in the AI gen logo it will look awful at small sizes. One is usable as a general purpose logo, the other isn’t.

Fully guilty of not even knowing there is one. I kinda just poked around installing DEs until I found one I liked.

It’s definitely the windows background for me though, gnome is just entirely different. Not saying it’s bad, but the people we’re trying to convince to switch usually have just as much of a windows (or sometimes mac) background, and often less willingness to learn.

I agree that 78°F is way too high to be a confortable sleeping temp, though being in a country where residential AC isn’t really a thing and inside temps at night often are higher than that in summer… you get used to it, it’ll just never be fun.

My ideal sleeping temp is like 15°C but even if I had AC that seems too wasteful so I’d probably settle for 18-20

I found gnome so unintuitive that i ended up switching to a different shell to uninstall it because I couldnt figure out how to close that app selection menu thing. (Though maybe I’m just bad at figuring out UX flows that are intuitive for most, seeing how I also despaired as my prof handed me his macbook for my thesis presentation and I didn’t manage to open the file, though tbf there I couldn’t even try to google it and was already nervous)

I’m sure it’s not hard once you know but any UX flow that isn’t already familiar can cause issues like that. Which is why KDE will feel much more friendly to the average windows user since it works the same way for the most part.

100% yes but just because I really hate how everyone conflates AI with LLMs these days I have to say this: The LLM isn’t generating the image, it’s at most generating a prompt for an image generating AI (which you could also write yourself)

Many countries have restrictions on what you can and cannot post (hate speech being a common one). Turkey in particular has been moving towards autocracy over the last decade or so, so I wouldn’t be surprised (to be clear this is speculation feel free to correct me) if it had restrictions on lgbt issues or political dissent or something.

Yip, that’s the one

I saw a youtube video from a woman that had a similar experience yesterday. Came from a deeply red, rural community, and went not to war but to a military base in okinawa. She talked about how many of the US military structures are actually quite socialized (everyone at the same rank gets the same salary, free healthcare, etc.) and also about how eye opening it was to get a different perspective on the pacific war than just the narrative of the US.

I can definitely see how just leaving the country for a place with a radically different culture alone could push you towards more leftist views (though afaik in military bases you still have to actively seek out interaction with anything outside the base), to say nothing of experiencing the horrors of war first-hand.

This is quite literally the opposite of how you actually get people to support your cause. Ask any psychologist.

Shutting them out completely might work fine when they’re a tiny minority, but when in some cases a quarter of the population agrees with them enough to vote for them, doing that is simply impossible. They will have reach.

I also still think we need people throwing their morals about manipulating people to the wind and starting to peddle left wing conspiracy theories just like the right wingers are doing. For example with how perfectly it fits there really should be an actual movement behind the whole trump=the biblical antichrist thing in the US, but I’ve only seen it as satire in spaces that are already left wing.

Don’t stay in my ass.

Idk man “exclusionary” is literally part of terf I don’t think there’s much ambiguity there. Fuck terfs though.

Lack of alcohol supply (a specific kind no less) is so far down the list of actual problems though. The majority of the population of the EU in every country seems to be on board with suffering a little in order to stick it to trump, so whiskey is really a weird thing to not import, especially given the potential impact it can have on the political opinion in affected regions.

It’s less of a bias of the programmer and moreso a bias of data, particularly when a factor like gender or ethnicity correlates with something without direct causation, such as crime rates correlating with ethnicity largely because of immigrants being poorer on average, and economic standing being a major correlating factor. If your dataset doesn’t include that, any AI will just see “oh, people in group x are way more likely to commit crimes”. This can be prevented but it’s generally more of a risk of overlooking something than intentional data manipulation (not that that isn’t possible).

The coloring is solely based on which number is higher for each country, that doesn’t change if you use relative numbers.

Am I missing something here (after quickly looking up virginias climate) or is this no different from the average central europe experience these days? Not that I don’t agree that these temps indoors fucking suck (or that just about everything DOGE does is horrible), it just really doesn’t seem like anywhere close to the worst results of pausing affordable housing. Complaining on a really priviliged level if you will.

Definitely not typical in all of europe at least. Dominos here offers 25, 28, or 32cm diameter, and most other pizzas I’ve had, fast food or not, have always been in that range as well (though I can only speak for germany and the netherlands, haven’t had fast food pizza elsewhere and I don’t even really remember how big the pizza I had in italy 10 years ago was). 40cm is family size here (one local place used to have 50cm family pizzas, which are definitely 2 or even 1 slice per person territory).

Hm, some are, but I also see some posts that aren’t. Maybe some sort of federation issue then. Except I just noticed you’re on the same instance as the community… now I’m just confused.
