Does AI just generate a font now and use that for text? I'm asking because the letters seem to be entirely consistent which I don't think would happen if the text was image-gend.
There's also a good chance it's just the image that was AI generated and someone did manually add the text, easiest check might be to reverse search without the text.
Ime with ublock it's not nearly as easy to manage allowing only specific scripts to run on each website to make it work but with less garbage added on compared to noscript
In what fantasy world do we stop using it large scale for any reason other than supply dries up? Freight ships run on oil, planes run on oil, both do not have economically viable alternatives yet. Cars run on oil and it will take more than 2-3 decades until 95%+ of global cars are EVs. Plastic currently uses around 10% of global oil supply, so even if everything else drops to 0 we still need a lot.
Have you considered that it could not be making fun of it but rather them genuinely thinking it's aesthetically pleasing? Because I kinda agree those photos look great.
Also the concept that something historic HAS to be preserved isn't universal across all cultures, even though it's very common. Personally I think it's nice trying to do that, but things will eventually be destroyed and that's how it goes, might as well find some beauty in it.
Reactions like that aren't unexpected but they do make me think the responder is an idiot anyway
Bowling stemmed from a gambling ban. It's gambling if you play a game where you wager money, it doesn't have to be purely or at all luck based (and technically chess has a luck element since white has an advantage).
Though there's a good chance this is just a pretext to stop people engaging in things that might make them too good at thinking for themselves.
Might be because of local accent as well, I don't speak a word of spanish but I'd be very surprised if there's no difference between spanish in spain and spanish in colombia
I mainly struggle with the executive dysfunction part. I found that preparing anything at all helps, even just opening the document I need to write on another screen will mean that whenever my attention next detaches from whatever else I'm doing, I will automatically latch onto what I'm supposed to do as the next thing.
This is the only way I managed to make progress on my bachelor's thesis.
I've come to realize that this is all stock markets. They are vibes-based, in their entirety. Often the vibes coincide with economic reality, sometimes you have a powerful person bullshitting enough people to make the value go up (or down) which at a certain point leads to even those that weren't fooled to join in because the price change is real.
Yeah, what people forget is that even average americans (and central/northern europeans and some other plaves) are quite wealthy from a global perspective. Many people on lemmy, self included, are in that global 10%.
And many of those emissions aren't something you can just avoid either, they often come as a result of being a user of local infrastructure etc.
So far for me the game has done a great job of having recognizable landmarks at least. I might not always know where I am, but I'll frequently come across something that orients me again.
I despise being lost in video games, but claire obscure has been fine because I never feel like I get lost for too long. Just long enough to appreciate the gorgeous and very weird world I'm in.
I still sometimes wish there was a map but it would probably be a net negative.
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.
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.
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.
