The bar of entry is also far lower. Something like chatGPT or Copilot is magnitudes cheaper and far more useful than a VR headset.

Additionally, large models AI don’t make one physically sick with motion sickness, only mentally.

I hardly think it is necessary to be an expert in Near-East conflict or politics in order to condemn what basically amounts to a terrorist attack.

Whether or not they should do something is a different issue all together. But dismissing criticism because they don’t provide an alternate solution to an intricate problem is hardly any more helpful. Israel has many more pathways to do this properly, one idea would be the ICJ.

You’re also falling into an overgeneralization fallacy. While Hezbollah is in the lebanese government, this doesn’t make all citizens of lebanon complicit. Hezbollah doesn’t represent all of Lebanon, neither do Hamas all of Palestine or Netanjahu all of Israel.

I think what they meant is if you receive that raise capped or uncapped. Some places have set wage increases based on years worked until a certain ceiling.

So if you have this annual increase and that capped increase at the same time, you might only beat it because of the additional capped increase. That would mean, at some point, your increase in wages will not catch up with inflation anymore

Afaik, it is grammatically correct as not is negating make. To me, “let’s not make this weird” implies it isn’t weird and they are trying to keep it that way. While “let’s make this not weird” implies it is weird atm and they are trying to undo that

That reminds me so much of Felix the Bunny. It is so adorable

Yep, I am not entirely sure why English translation chose to go latin, but Ego also is just Latin for I/Ich, which is what Freud called the other two

It’s the term for the primal urges, and instincts I believe, in Freudian psychology. In German it is “das Es” which would translate to “the It”. More I cannot really explain

While that’s true, there’s also the “Works on my machine” effect.

It might’ve been less obstructive on their pc than on op’s

The way I interpret the comment is that they are saying “If you would eat normally, you couldn’t be that thin.”

It’s a reference to the fact that energy cannot be destroyed, only transformed into a different form.

Basically, catholic church has confessions. Y’know, those booths with the priest and the confessor?

Luther didn’t like that, and a myriad of other things, and decide to make it known. This, more or less, caused Protestantism

Federated means that any instance that is federated with them receives their content and can bee seen on that instance.

Defederated means they are not federated anymore, thus blocking both users and content.

It’s usually done to combat content you don’t want on your instance

Calling oneself Empress or Emperor usually does imply that, I guess

I’d almost agree. Steam is great with it’s return policy, but only really by comparison. The 14 days is definitely plenty of time, but 2h is not a lot for quite a few, and especially the expensive, games.

Who the hell is Empress? O.o

You seem to have misinterpreted what I was calculating.

The 0.5 is the gender of the user, which is important to calculate whether a user gets their own gender as a driver or not.

It’s probably due to the saturation of how many male drivers Lyft has. It reports that only 23% are female. While it doesn’t say how many non-binary drivers there are, I doubt they make up more than a few percent. That puts men at ~75% driver share. So the chance of a a female rider, which according to Lyft are about half of their riders, being paired with is vastly smaller than a male rider getting a man.

0.5*0.75=0.375 chance for a man to get a male driver.

0.5*0.23=0.115 chance for a women to get a female driver.

While yes, you can abuse the system, you have to make a more conscious effort about being a “slimeball”. This isn’t necessarily a feature to prevent SH and SA, but more to make drivers and riders more comfortable.

Oh, and about the amount of code: it would be less code, as you do not need to filter and can just start a match-search.

To me, it feels like something I’d call Cassettepunk. Basically the point in time where computers were using magnetic tapes and floppies, but extended into the future. The tech doesn’t really get any better in terms of detail, but it gets more screens, which mostly are CRT

Scammers evolve to find new prey. While the phone scams and the different types of phishing might still work, I am quite that’s not where most of the money is now.

We’ve seen kickstarter, bitcoin, mlm scams and what not. There’s enough out there that have not been properly identified, too.

Could I get some more context? Seems like an interesting rabbit-hole to alice-about in

Don’t think that works for words that don’t have a verb as a base, i.e. Krankenpflege works because Pflege is a Verb and can be conjugated to Krankenpflegende but Mechaniker:in doesn’t conjugate.

Also Geborgene means nothing even adjacent to being a Bürger. I’d personally would have guessed Bürgende but even that is a major stretch. You would either have to create an entirely new way to conjugate nouns or you have to use synonyms that can be conjugated that way. Both ways will be a huge change to how German is spoken
