Brain was in left to right mode and I just thought it's kinda neat that this makes sense when read in either direction

I have the same issue on connect (started a week or two ago I think), so might not be app specific but something with lemmy itself

There's also an incredibly mysoginistic culture in many competitive games. Good luck using a mic as a woman playing CS, for example.

Completely agree though, more women in leadership and even just dev is a good thing, but for the most part people don't really care who made a product, only how much they like it.

That is, to my understanding, not at all what is happening. LLMs are mainly getting better because they're being fed with more data and having more layers. This directly makes their environmental impact worse. They will also reach computational limits, hopefully sooner rather than later. So there is currently not much indication that generalist AI will keep getting better, nor that it will become less wasteful. Purpose built smaller models could be both, but they'd far more closely resemble any other software tool than LLMs, both in use and social impact.

It's likely not that this attitude results from his politics, but that his politics result from the same views that result in this attitude. It's a narrow world view, perpetuated by propaganda and the american civil religion (not that this is exclusive to the US, but it sure seems prevalent there).

Ignore him best you can, and do what makes you happy. Not sure if there's a way to convince him to help you save for it, but if he thinks that murica is the greatest country on earth, it seems unlikely he'd ever support you wanting to leave that - temporarily or permanently.

They don't license the samples that an artist might've licensed, but they "sell" them as part of the song. The same braindead logic from the lawsuit can be applied here.

Afaik it's a displayport issue (because DP has the feature to detect if PC is on). I've had the issue on multiple monitors that it wouldn't turn on the next time I booted the PC. After a lot of unsuccessful googling I finally found that the pc off-> monitor off -> pc on-> pc doesn't see monitor -> monitor stays off apparently happens because of a capacitor not discharging properly, getting the monitor stuck in "pc off" state. Flipping the monitor power switch (or disconnecting the power cable) for 15-20 seconds has so far always fixed it for me.

But maybe there are other reasons too.

It has definitely gotten more expensive in the last 20 years. Döner used to be 3-4€, now it's 7-10. Maybe more in some places. Afaik that's a little above inflation, but it's not crazy. And eating out in general has always been an expensive thing to do. From what I see online US prices are a lot worse, but I don't know how they were 20 years ago.

1. The dairy herd seems to be about beef from a dairy herd. So still meat, but offset by the fact that milk is produced as well. Not sure how they calculate it, nor have I ever seen beef labelled as that (...granted I also haven't bought any in years), but it makes sense.

2. This just seems like a pet with a byproduct to me but maybe someone knows more about the effects of breeding for egg laying on chicken quality of life

It's just p2w with extra steps. Pay to get stronger, or pay someone to play for you to get stronger. When games are designed to either make you play a lot or pay to get stuff to make you stronger, some people will gladly pay to either feel powerful, or just skip enough of the grind that they can focus on what's fun.

I kind of get it, but at the point where I'd be spending hundreds or make someone play for me, I'd just look for a different game.

Being apolitical to the point of not even voting implies being fine with whatever the outcome is*. So you don't get to complain. If you truly don't, then go ahead. But generally, people still do.

*and they wouldn't actually know the specifics, even if I'm not sure how it'd be possible to not at least notice that whatever the alternative, trump is probably worse
