Yes.

One more reason on the long list of reasons to ditch fossil fuels ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Ditch Uber for Bolt. They’re European and pay the drivers a bit better

It looks so shit cause they’ve already nuked themselves to planetary death. And because of climate change and rising sea level. Also ecosystem degradation and subsequent soil erosion. I’ve heard you need to prevent these to keep Earth beautiful. Just for the aesthetics. Think about the astronauts, what if they had to look at an ugly Earth?

Well, we actually produce our wind turbines - and most wind turbines outside of China (https://sopuli.xyz/post/30659580).

And it is different with solar panels than with oil & gas. If China stops exporting the panels today, well, the ones we bought will continue working for decades. If oil and gas stop flowing, we will run out of them in months, if not weeks.

Comparing R and RStudio to Israel and USA is mean. But meme still funny.

XDDDD NSFW I almost chocked on my suppressed giggles

Yeah, with Reverso you can see how the word has been translated in different context, super useful if you actually want to learn.

And their general translator is also good for longer texts. I’ve been using DeepL for that, though, and haven’t made a proper comparison.

Even an ironic AI slop?

Yeah, the comment about censoring Nazi stuff was dumb. But @lime@feddit.nu has a point. The legal part is true. They do risk shutting down if they accept anti-Israeli content.

I am not an expert in German law, but I would expect that criticizing particular actions, policies, and politicians within Israel should be fine. I don’t know the details, I do somehow understand the mods at feddit.org being cautious, they likely overdo it.

We could also argue whether they should abide to the law. But the good thing with fedi is that we have plenty of instances hosted elsewhere and not subject to the law, so maybe they are the best place to expose Israeli crimes. This is exactly the reason not to defed them.

It feels like most of the Fediverse is in Schengen Area. Then hexbear and lemmy.ml are like Russia and Belarus.

I’ve been using Sennheiser for a while, a bit lower-grade models though (Accentum Plus). Works great, the only pet peeve is that they changed buttons for a touch-screen on the right headphone, I don’t like tapping it that much. But the sound is great and the equipment robust (my previous ones had lasted for 5 years with no battery or sound quality issues before someone stole them on a train…).

A small thing, but I stopped synching my calendar with Google and now have DAVx5 synched with my (new and free) Nextcloud, and use Etar frontend (it is better than Google Calendar, but I am still tempted to just use Samsung Calendar as long as I still have my 6-years-old Galaxy S10).

I get your point. But any collective myth will overlook a lot reality. Americans actually help each other and organize themselves in their communities, despite the hassle culture. Chinese had many failed attempts at dominating industries. Many Russians actually prefer a calm and good life to the glory of their country.

In a way, a myth is more about what we want to be than what we are. Or, the part of ourselves we are proud of.

The choice is ours. We simply need to choose whom we admire. Whom we want to recognize as successful. Whom we aspire to be when we grow up. We need to sing the praises of our true heroes: those who contribute to our commons.

It could, obviously, just be international. There are people giving away inventions to mankind all around the world, though not equally distributed. But there is a window of opportunity for big part of Europe to embrace these values as our, though not exclusively our. The local aspect is beneficial, since it gives the universal values a sense of belonging and strong institutions.

I mean, I guess the non-dark ones may well be great as well, I just eat mainly dark chocolate ¯\(ツ)/¯

Or… Garant. They have surprisingly good chocolate, especially the dark ones with raspberries or cranberries are delicious.

Haribo and Chupa Chups now make chocolate?

(BTW +10 respect to Tony’s for actually carrying about the sources of their ingredients).

And Esperanto-speaking engineers?

This should have more upvotes. It is truly the social of media.
