  • So he infact did not suggest nuking Gaza.

    Why is media like this? Someone says something stupid and then they lie about it claiming they said something even more stupid. How am I supposed to take these articles seriously? What else do you lie about?

  • It's attached by two "leashes" and if you yank it a bit the other rips off making it pretty much what you described but it'll still tangle all over your face when you try to drink straight from the bottle and also now you have the sharp bit poking you every time you screw and unscrew the cap. This is not the only design we have. I just happen to shop at LIDL and their bottles are all like this. Some other designs are slightly better.

  • Camera almost never can reproduce the image as our eyes see it. The dynamic range for example is vastly superior on eyes compared to a camera meaning that in some cases an HDR photo may infact more closely resemble the reality despite looking unnatural compared to a non-HDR photo.

  • The rent for the fanciest apartment I've ever lived in (and ever will) was a little under 10k a year. New building, top floor, massive bathroom with sauna, a big balcony, a storage unit and a covered parking slot for my car all included. Oh and a lake view.

  • This might be a weird question but when people tip for a good service, what exactly is good service?

    If I go to a restaurant I expect them to take my order, bring me the food and when I'm done bring me the check. That's it. I want nothing else from them. Should I tip them for not spitting in my food or not stumbling and throwing it all over my clothes?

  • My pocket knife aswell. I used to recycle 100% of my plastic bottles before. Now I recycle 99.8% as there's always this tiny piece that I cut off and throw in the trash. Same as that metal clip on lighters that's supposed to stop children from being able to ignite them. It's the first thing I rip off when I buy a new one.

  • I hate this so much. I swear I have never in my life returned a bottle without the cap. How would you even lose it in the first place? What psycho opens a bottle and discards the cap? Now my pocket knife usage has increased 300% as I'm cutting this sharp plastic thinghy away every time and I'm creating way more plastic waste than ever before. I agree with a lot what the EU does but this is idiotic.

  • I have a feeling that the only short-term solution is heavy content curation by the users themselves. Nobody is incentivized to do it for us. It takes time and effort but the only thing that has made any kind of difference is blocking everything you don't want to see. And I mean ruthlessly doing so. Someone replied with a clown emoji to this thread and they're now blocked. That's how petty I'm about it nowdays. The vast majority of users on social media just add to the noise and it's this group of people I'm trying to get rid of.

    The way I think about it is by imagining a room with 100 random people. Do I want to talk with all of them? No. I'd rather talk with the couple most interesting ones among them and ignore the rest. I don't have the time and energy to pay attention to the constant feed of meaningless nonsense.

    Block subs you're not interested in. Block users that dont bring any value. Add content filters for topics you're sick of reading about etc. You're not going to miss out on anything. You're not going to run out of content. You'll hardly notice any difference but after some time the signal does start to get stronger and the noise does quiet down a bit.

  • I brought up the roof knocking because it's what Israel does aswell as dropping leaflets and sending text messages and making phone calls before the strikes. This goes against all the accusations about genocide and intentionally targeting civilians. It would be quite cynical to think that this all is just a cover up so that they can continue with their plan of murdering every single Palestinian. I'm just not buying that. The high number of civilians in that area are a huge inconvenience for Israel and killing them is extremely bad PR. They know this and Hamas knows it aswell.

    For the high number of civilians killed I think the most simple explanation is also the most likely to be true; it's urban warwafe on a country with extremely tiny land area and a population of millions. You could blindly drop a bomb quite literally anywhere there and you're likely to hit someone. This is what war looks like.

  • Hating on everything AI is trendy nowdays. Most of these people can't give you any coherent explanation for why. They just adopt the attitude of people around them who also don't know why.

    I believe the general reasoning is something along the lines of not wanting bad corporations to profit from their content for free. So it's just a matter of principle for the most part. Perhaps we need to wait for someone to train LLM on the freely available to everyone data on Lemmy and then we can interview it to see what's up.
