These are two unpopular governments throwing their civilians in a stupid war. Hamas was elected in the last parliamentary elections, which happened in 2006. They are just a political party clinging to power, as is Bibi's party.

The war only makes both parties more powerful. You should support the Palestinian people because of the inequality between them and Israël, because of Israël's apartheid regime, not because Hamas.

I hoped you were joking. Damn, I'm getting old...

LLMs are a form of AI.

Whenever I post something on the internet, I do so in English, since that's a language most people on this world speak. I'd love it if Americans did the same with measurements when writing down recipes on the internet. I'm sorry for this offensive opinion.

Als ge liever wilt, kan ik het ook in het Nederlands doen. Op het internet spreek ik over het algemeen Engels, aangezien dat een taal is die nagenoeg iedereen spreekt. Ik zou het vree tof vinden als Amerikanen dat ook zouden doen met maten en gewichten in hun recepten. Sorry om zo kort van antwoord te zijn.

I also don't really know about English-speaking places, in writing we also go for 1,70 m over here

Hey, we use hectares sometimes, which are hm^2

Yeah, I never heard anyone tell their height in centimetres. It's always like "I'm 1 metre 71" or so.

Yes, and the researchers I know doing stuff with AI find the idea of AGI laughable.

Aaaahh, I'm not Dutch, I live more than 10 km south of them!

It's really handy when you're learning German as their gender tends to be the same (het/een huis -> das Haus; de/nen hond -> der Hund; de/een kat(te) -> die Katze).

We've actually got 3 genders, but outside Flanders, people don't seem to know the distinction anymore. The darn Dutch ruined Dutch!

When English isn't your first language, this is a really confusing title.

Over here in Belgium we do, I thought that's how it's done in most countries. It makes more sense to me too, you get your salary monthly (or maybe fortnightly like you) and you talk about your rent, debt payments, ... also on a monthly basis.

Do Brits also tell their salary on annual instead of monthly basis? I thought that was just an American thing

I truly don't understand qwertz. That being said, in Flanders we use azerty, while the Dutch use qwerty, despite us speaking the same language.

This seems really cool for tiling windows managers (even Windows has tiling options, although I'm not familiar with those). That being said, I still prefer a multimonitor setup on my tiling WM of choice.

I'm from in Belgium, and have colleagues from countries from both sides of the second world war. The carpet bombing of cities is still talked about every now and then. It's still remembered as one of the worst tragedies during that war (apart from the obvious), and the scars it left in many family trees still pain the people to this day.

Hearing stories from Gaza and the Donbas always remind me of the stories I used to hear from my grandfather, and I believed we left those war tactics behind in the last century. It's absolutely insane hearing an allied country to ours debating using those tactics again.

Whenever I'm in Germany, I'm surprised to see ads for tobacco in the street
