Can people really see the difference? I’d love to see a test between screens at different refresh rates, resolutions, and FPS, and how well people can discern between them. I have a feeling most wouldn’t be able to tell the difference.
Do you have a permit for that personal nuclear powerplant, sir?
How is it still allowed to operate in Russia? I thought there were sanctions. Is this company above the law or something?
Indeed. It does cement my point further of just what a jumble of languages English is.
20 years? Not 25? I thought 2060 was when things would really crumble due to climate change is we continued business as usual (which is what we’re doing).
What is “English” though? The English language is mish-mash or Norse, French, Latin, Greek, Danish, Spanish, and their old versions. It’s why it’s so difficult to get pronunciation right.
Look at the etymology of the majority of English words and it’ll be “middle english from anglo-french” or “old english from ancient greek” or something.
Some languages have diverged very little from their origins like Icelandic which allows reading 12th century texts without much difficulty, while others are barely distinguishable from their origins due to loans words, forced changes due to e.g royalty, invasion, and so on.
I’m sure a linguist could dive way more into depth, but “not English words” is the equivalent of “not a true Scotsman”.
I have the same feelings for people who blame immigrants for all their problems.
So who do these low and middle class people vote for? Politicians who continuously fuck over the middle and lower class. Do they organize themselves to demand higher wages, better living standards, more investment in public infrastructure? No, they demand “smaller government”, less affordable healthcare, bigger paychecks for their bosses so that it “trickles down”, they follow online propaganda that blames others and convinces them that other middle class and poor people are against them, they buy goods from monopolies and even proudly promote these monopolies, they idolize the rich and elite who don’t give a fuck about them, and of course they blame those who are struggling or even those who immigrate to provide much needed services.
Racists, xenophobes, and right-wingers in general are just as snow-flakey as the “woke mob”. They exacerbate the problems they have then blame whichever scapegoat they can find that can’t punch back. They’re just weak and don’t want to fight a strong, rich, well-connected opponent - they want to let out their frustrations against a weaker opponent: they’re bullies.
Holy moly, they were ~30.5M in 2023. That’s 770k/year, so probably ~29.8M this year and ~38M in 2014. That’s 20% of the population in 10 years.
Thanks for the link.
That makes sense. And the leaders of Mozilla probably know this, so they have no incentive to be better, just to exist and pocket the money. Firefox won’t get better unless another competitor appears and becomes a danger to it: danger meaning Google might give the competitor money instead of Mozilla.
Don’t donate money to Mozilla they don’t deserve it, much less need it after getting 500M from Google every year.
That’s quite the stark contrast to https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy
That was fantastic. What a show.
Lemmy has 1.5m users? No way man… Where are you getting those numbers from?
What percentage of Venezuelans have already left? That would be interesting to find out. If all anti-Maduro voters just left the country, how many would be left and what would there be left for Maduro to control?
Weird, I wonder why @homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world posted this now without context.
Maybe another EU member should invade Hungary?
If https://www.stopkillinggames.com/ gets to go before the EU commission, this might even go much further.
Fits well. Everything is a subscription nowadays.
