  • I think he's aiming more to become an emperor. That said, I like the positive outlook! If he fucking ruins everything, there's always room for the Americans to build something better in the mess he leaves.

  • Better inject all the emails with prompts then!

  • I wouldn’t be surprised. He promised an end of elections and voting. This is what his voters wanted.

  • Yeah. It's really a matter of picking one's poison, and some are better than others. AFD is the obvious wrong answer here, and electing to not vote or vote for some party that won't even make parliament is essentially a vote for AFD. There is no perfect political party.

  • No no, he doesn't think that Russia is winning, he wants Russia to win.

  • "I wrote an email to Google to say, 'you have access to my computer, is that right?'", he added.

    lmao right, because the support person they reached, if indeed they even spoke to a person at all, would know and divulge the sources they train on. They may think that all their research is private but they're making use of these tech giant services. These tech giants have blatantly showed that they're OK with piracy and copyright infringement to further their goals, why would spying on research institutions be any different?

    If you want to give it a run for its money, give it a novel problem that isn't solved, and see what it comes up with.

  • I think that's just the norm of modern day gaming. The goal is to have a wide audience and so in order to facilitate that they make the games as approachable as possible.

    I recently bought two games that got a fair amount of negative reviews for lacking a tutorial. Hyper Light Breaker which is in early access understandably doesn't have much of a tutorial. It does give you a general direction, and it feels more or less like any other roguelike I've played (which admittedly isn't many). It wasn't hard to pick up and I don't really get why it would need more of a tutorial than what it has.

    Mind Over Magic is a management sim akin to RimWorld. It also doesn't really have a tutorial, but all of the information is in there and not very hard to discover yourself. The game will give you plenty of hints as you encounter challenges, and there's a comprehensive in-game codex with all the information you could possibly want.

    I don't think either game is unapproachable. There's trial and error involved in both. You might fail a few times doing things, but you learn and next time around you'll do better.

    Perhaps people have forgotten what that's like. Maybe that's something some people genuinely don't like. I don't know.

  • Unions have been protesting Shitsla since late 2023 here in Sweden.

  • "What would happen if Facebook, twitter, and YouTube cooperated with one another?"

    That sounds like a fucking dystopian nightmare, is what it does. Though I know this is about the software, and not the companies.

  • In my divorced-from-reality headcanon that's exactly what's going on. Trump has just toddled from one disaster to another, completely impervious to any fallout. There's no way in hell he doesn't have plot armour. Which begs the question; who the hell is writing this slop, and how do we get out?

    Like, Clinton sexually assaulted a secretary and that stained him and his wife.

    Trump has

    • Expressed desire to shag his daughter
    • Openly admitted to sexually assaulting women
    • Mocked a disabled reporter
    • Incited an attack on the U.S. Capitol
    • Somehow survived getting shot at twice
    • Has a chronic case of verbal diarrhoea to the point of incoherence
    • Managed to get elected as a convicted felon, even though many felons can't even vote
  • Not exactly in my language, but Lipton used to have an advert for their ice tea “Limone” in Japan. A lady sing a jingle, and in the middle of it she’d exclaim 「おいちい」, meaning “delicious.” However, 「ちい」could also be interpreted as the English word tea. Thus an appropriate translation of the pun would be "tealicious."

    Did a quick search and found the advert in question.

  • This might not come to pass.

  • I don't think they are, it was just Microsoft screwing things up. I've never heard someone call them postcode archives.

  • Throwback to Microsoft renaming "zip file" to "postcode file" in English.

    The difference here obviously being that actual humans worked on the localisation Mint uses, whereas I'm sure Microsoft just uses machine translation.

  • I mean unlike housing, you don't actually need to pay for a domain name. There are plenty of free alternatives if you ill like paying for a TLD, and in lieu of that you could just memorise the IP, or even instruct people to change their hosts file.

  • Ah yes, I'd missed that. Thank you. Her not wanting to lock up the chickens 24/7 for an indeterminate amount of time makes a lot of sense to me. She was very fond of her chickens.

  • Ägg and egg is pronounced almost identically.

  • We have quite a lot of rules and regulations in place for how chickens are allowed to be kept. If you're curious, Jordbruksverket has a guide on their website., assuming you're not Swedish here is a machine-translated version.

    According to regulations on disease control, poultry kept for food production must be enclosed when they are outside. This also applies if you sell meat or eggs on a smaller scale.

    You may only have your birds outside without enclosure if you do not sell meat or eggs from them.

    I think this rule was put in place back when there was a bird flu outbreak a few years ago. My old principal used to keep chickens, but she stopped doing that after the outbreak because she felt like the rules around how chickens were allowed to be kept after that was too inhumane. Granted I think she said that you're not allowed to let them roam free at all so maybe she misunderstood, or maybe the law has been changed since.
