Gotta say, using 3 just feels like giving up due to laziness, even in 1200BC.

Also it’s interesting how the Chinese entries basically stop between 1400 and 1949, whereas European names are far more present during this era. Some Japanese ones, too. I wonder how comprehensive this page is.

Tbf, it is “merely” a private prop plane, not a jet (which would be significantly more expensive still). But yeah, not exactly middle class material…

I mean, that technically depends on your perspective. But yes. Very much so.

Hang on, Nintendo fans are into findom? That would explain a few things. On a related note, I think I finally understood why people keep giving Chris Roberts money for Star Citizen.

And yet, translators are losing their jobs left and right, from what I hear. Sure, quality has gone down, but most people don’t seem to care. Plus, in a lot of cases, instead of the AI doing all the work, translators proof-read AI generated texts and correct the worst mistakes. Fewer translators can translate more at a lower price this way.

Does the quality still go down a bit that way? Probably. But again, who cares? Not the people spending money on translations, that’s for sure.

I can hardly even imagine one that’s worse

You’re welcome :) Terminator 2 is an incredible action movie, one of the best I’ve ever seen. This scene alone right at the beginning will forever live rent-free in my mind. So yeah, if you like action movies, both it and Terminator 1 are great to watch.

The twist is that it’s a shapeshifting killer robot from the movie Terminator 2, specifically a T-1000 sent back in time to kill the child in question. The biker, on the other hand is an older (non-shapeshifting) killer robot model also sent back in time (to protect the kid from the newer model).

My day was going great until I got reminded that that thing exists…

Kann ich bestätigen, wenn ich nicht wenigstens einmal (eher zweimal) die Woche meinen Fix kriege, werde ich mittlerweile hibbelig.

It is indeed, yes.

Pizzacakecomics is on the frontpage of reddit exactly because it’s heavy-handed and only mildly funny.

Okay, fair. I just wish I could escape them – which is rather hard if the people voting stuff to my Lemmy frontpage have just as poor taste as the average redditor.

Youre right, but that doesn’t make this comic – or the others made by the same creator – any better.

it’s pretty absurd that anyone would deny it.

True, but then again it’s exactly what you’d expect from them these days. And even if it wasn’t – this comic is so darn plump I have a hard time seeing it as satire.

Plus, the creator drawing both caracters as ugly braindead idiots makes up half the ‘joke’ here. If ones satirical abilities are so non-existant they need to degrade the physical appearance of their opponents (however vile their views and actions may be) in their works, maybe it’s just time to give up and do something they don’t completely fail at.

Still not a fan of pizzacakecomics. The ones that are supposed to be funny aren’t, imho, and the political ones are way too heavy-handed for my taste.

I mean, don’t get me wrong, I agree with the content, but for a comic that’s on the reddit frontpage all the time it’s an incredibly crude way of getting the point across.

Go is also very nice, though the biggest challenge is finding someone to play with.

I tried that already, didn’t really help. That repo is currently deactivated on my machine, I think I had some (more) annoying problem with it (don’t remember all the details), but after spending quite a few hours on this problem, I essentially gave up trying to fix it. Right now, video playback works well enough that I don’t want to deal with it anymore.

And, honestly, I haven’t had a Linux installation where everything related to multimedia and graphics drivers just worked flawlessly. Ubuntu, Debian, Arch and Suse all had different issues. Switching from Nvidia to AMD didn’t help, either. Sometimes the flaws were minor and easy to ignore, but it has never ever worked as well as it does on Windows.

Not gonna lie, I’m glad I’ve moved from Arch to Tumbleweed. Media codecs are handled worse somehow, but I haven’t had to deal with crap like this ever since…

I mean, true, but that doesn’t contradict what I wrote, does it? I objected to that particular part of kshades argument, not their argument as a whole.

Taiwan was never part of current China though

The same was true for East and West Germany and that, err, merger is generally considered to be a reunification.

But I agree with the rest you wrote, so I guess it’s a moot point anway.
