Citroen bringt endlich ein bezahlbares Elektroauto und natürlich ist es ein SUV.

Ich will einfach nur einen elektrischen Minivan.

I would never put something in my brain that doesn't at least have a public API documentation. If the company discontinued the product I want to be able to keep using it. Open Source software would be best.

The Australian model is also interesting. After your degree you pay a certain percentage of your income to your university for a decade or so. But only if you earn more than the average person.

This means a university gets more money when their students gets good job.

A few years ago there was this hilarious trend called Nutscaping where people made beautiful landscape photos with a tiny amount of ballsack hanging into the picture from the top.

I am a Linux user for over a decade but I have no idea what this discussion is about. Can someone give me a tldr? I install some software using apt and some using the store and never have any issues.

Mi kredas ke la facileco de Toki Pona ne estas en la nombro de vortoj kaj la gramatiko, sed en la maniero esprimi aferojn. Kaj oni ja devas lerni esprimi pli ol 120 vortoj por kapabli bone komuniki en Toki Pona.

Sed ĝi estas interesa lingvo. Mi volas lerni Toki Pona, Globasa kaj la interslava, mi pensas ke ĉiu de ili havas propran avantaĝon.

Tute ne, ili eĉ mencias ke Ayatollah Khomeini subtenis Esperanton.

A friend joined them to get protection because he got beaten a lot. He left again after his first drug trafficking job was offered to him. (and fortunately he was allowed to leave because he didn't know enough yet)

My schoolmates rented a club house for parties and the bikers wanted to do the security themselves. The have beaten people and kicked one drunken guy lying on the floor who argued too much with them. Completely unprofessional.

This was late 2000s in rural Germany.

Oly in Bavaria. In every other German State this can only be done for a few days max in extreme situations.

Love is a chemical process, you can't really choose who you fall in love with. There are all kind of relationships, not all are based on respect.

You don't have to pretend anything, I know quite a few couples where one partner is an atheist and the other one is a believer.

That's not an issue anymore. There is an Duolingo course, tons of Anki vocabulary decks, the app Drops supports Esperanto and the website lernu.net has a pretty good free course to learn Esperanto grammar.

I really like the idea of Globasa and Interslavic. I tried learning Toki Pona for one week, but did not stick to it for some reason, maybe some day.

I speak Esperanto and I am quite active in the movement and write for the Esperanto Wikipedia. In 2011 I had quite a cool trip to an Esperanto Youth Congress in Kijiv. But it's hard to talk about it because most people see it as a failed project from the early 1900s, not as a modern subculture.

Absolutely. They will try to plug keyboards and screens into the neuralink chip.

A good way to get an impression about real america as an outsider is to follow smaller hobbyist YouTubers from middle sized towns. One guy from Michigan I follow has a remarkable boring life that's completely different from every American stereotype.

Der Artikel wird die Zahlen sicher etwas verbessern.

I know quite a few kids and early 20s who don't even own a PC or laptop. They own phones and a TV but think PCs are only for school and work.

Niche communities that took years to built up and that I can't find anywhere else. For example Esperanto speakers are quite active on Twitter. They also have their own Mastodon instance, but it is not the same. (I use both now)

He is very different in Shrinking. Turns out he is a great comedy actor as well.

Die Nazis haben die Konten vom alten Rentensystem leergeräumt. Nach dem Krieg gab es keine echte Alternative zu einem Umlagesystem, weil einfach kein Geld mehr in den Kassen war. Und es hat ja auch ziemlich lange ganz gut funktioniert. Nur Spätestens mit dem Pille-Knick in den 70ern hätte man anfangen müssen das System langsam umzubauen, es ist ja wirklich nicht so, als würden unsere heutigen Probleme überraschend kommen.

Not every atheist is a humanist or even pro science, so they definitely exist. For example some regions in East Germany have a high Atheist rate and a very right wing population.

300 Jahre lang sind viele Menschen dafür eingesperrt worden und gestorben damit wir heute das Christentum frei kritisieren dürfen. Ich lasse mir die Aufklärung nicht von der nächstbesten Religion, die um die Ecke kommt wieder kaputt machen.

Wenn weiße Nationalisten diese Verbrennungen machen würden, dann wären sie für mich klar ein Hassverbrechen. Das wird aber von Ex-Muslimen aus dem Irak gemacht, und die sollten das dürfen. Der Kontext ist entscheidend.

Schwere Verläufe bei Corona sind etwas ganz anderes als schwere Verläufe bei einer Grippe. Meine Freundin musste einen Monat lang mit Rollator durch die Gegend laufen und hatte dann noch ein Jahr lang Long Covid. Das gibt es bei einer Grippe soweit ich weiß nicht. Corona kann fast jeden Teil deines Körpers angreifen.

The best aspect of this trend is that we finally can buy devices without glass screens again. Plastic screens are so much more durable, especially if you are clumsy like I am. The prie is still to high though.

A German Black rapper (Sam Deluxe) once said: "as a black person you can't really choose your political opinion freely, because one side only wants you out of the country." Many join the left because it means protection.

I think parts of hiphop culture fits quite well to a conservative worldview when it comes to money, masculinity and the role of women.

Haha true. But I only said it in the context of this picture.

Because it is a Unix system, so the Bash feels very similar and if you install homebrew you have a package manager with a very Linux like feel and a software catalog where most Linux command lines tool have a port for OS X. From a usability perspective OS X is Linux, but without permanent issues and reinstalls. (and I am saying this as a 12 year Linux User who only uses Macs for work)

Mac is Linux, but in a golden cage. Not sure if this exist as a picture.

Für die Langstrecke hole ich mir fast immer einen ID.3, manchmal auch einen Kona. Der Formfaktor vom ID.3 ist einfach gut, so viel Innenraum bei gleichzeitig so viel Wendigkeit gibt es sonst nirgends. Jetzt muss er nur noch günstiger und praktischer (Anhängelast und Dachlast) werden. Die Software ist mittlerweile einigermaßen benutzbar.

Wie ist denn der Link dahin?

Ich hoffe wirklich der Renault 5 wird ein Erfolg, Zoes habe ich immer gerne gefahren und das wird ja sowas wie ihr Nachfolger.

There have been quite a lot of Greek guest workers in Germany after WW2 and many stayed here just like the turks.

There is only a German Wikipedia article about this deal, but before the turks came they first had guest workers from Italy and grece in West Germany. https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anwerbeabkommen_zwischen_der_Bundesrepublik_Deutschland_und_Griechenland

The world map clearly isn't censored

One of the papers about it https://arxiv.org/pdf/2206.07682.pdf

But bigger models have new "emergent" capabilities. I heard that from a certain size they start to know what they know and hallucinate less.
