I'm vaguely aware that the USA is gearing up for another political tragedy, but who, living outside of the USA, actually follows that stuff? Can't influence the outcome much either way if you can't vote, except perhaps by spreading propaganda.
Didn't Windows 10 also have ads in the start menu from pretty much the start, like Candy Crush and such? Or maybe I just used a bloated OS image, wouldn't be beyond me.
Hmm, well, I have heard women being compared to singing birds (or more degrading as vultures or pen of hens if in group), but I've more often heard women being romantically compared to bees or flowers. Though, I don't think I've ever heard men being compared to bees, but often to birds (eagles, vultures, seagulls, etc.).
Might also be local culture, as I usually think of harmony, nature, and perhaps matriarchy when pondering bees, while birds seem much more gender neutral, like, standoff-ish, elegant, brutal, impulsive, egoistic, even presented as predatory and evil in children movies and some media.
So, using common stereotyping, you can see where I'm coming from.
As someone not too familiar with American cultures, I'd probably make an assumption and go for the (to me) more masculine bird over the docile and flower loving bee, since bees have stingers that they normally would never use and birds have beaks/peckers.
Enshittification-wise it is both, since the current main reason for AI enshittification is the LLM enshittification bleeding out. But focusing on AI as a whole for being the problem would not be unlike "fuckcars" being called "fucktransportation".
A new "fuckcars"-like community whose name doesn't even target the source of their frustration? Neat.
Gamedevs, researchers, and factory engineers sitting in a corner mumbling something about "appropriation".
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Microsoft's and OpenAI's hijacking of the term "AI" to mean "LLM", and those who just blindly follow along and thereby help alienating those who work with AI (not LLM), are a sickness.
Isn't that a good thing in this case? Once someone invents a new innovative slur you can just go to ud and search it up, instead of making assumptions or having to ask them yourself.
Yeah, I've been bamboozled by this before. Found out that both "dike" and "dyke" mean "water barrier" but also can be slurs.
I guess it depends on context and audience, though, I hope the context is clear in this case. :P
Edit: Also, "dam" doesn't fit since it's an island and not a river or lake. The island does have dams, but those are not nearly as important as the dikes.
The Baltic sea just had a once-in-a-century storm surge this fall. There was little danger since the baltic sea is rather well protected, but many local dikes weren't up for the job, resulting in quite some damage (in general, the houses on my island were mostly unscathered).
Took us the better of two months to drain the water from the island, and in the meantime we had to hike along the more robust dikes to get to the harbor.
We also had to empty our lakes of saltwater to attempt and save our fire-bellied toads, as the Copenhagen Zoo is trying to preserve the species on the island.
When it comes to gaming I've found them to be mid at best, but I think that's exactly why they get recommended a lot. Stability (as in using old but not too old drivers) and a broad and easily accessible knowledge base in term of tutorials and answered newbie questions.
Welcome to my rock, i guess.
