Wearing a shirt and nice trouser helps my business traveller persona dont want to explain an immigration officer why I wear work clothe and steel toe booth for a business meeting.

Anyway, I have a business meeting, need a suit and will be back the next day, so I am rather wearing my business suit, rather than taking a checked in luggage

A factor may be that you don’t see far in water, and details are big (think these black line at the bottom of the pool, not really hard to see)

Attenuation length is shallow water is relatively short, so even with googles and perfect distance vision, you won’t see much behind 10-20m, and may-be 40-80m in deep water (bit there it’s dark).

Mary glasses wearer still have a vision good enough to see decently at 10m especially when they don’t look for ultra small details.

X-plane runs natively on Linux, and you have countless hour of simming. While not fully single-player, Elden ring works perfectly through steam/proton, and the ordinary interaction with other players is about letting message

The cool thing of AI deepfake, is that everyone can make-it.
Before you would need to know how to use photoshop, and even before photography technique to forge image.

Nowadays, even the boomer racist uncle, and the high-schooler niece can do it. It’s great because people will think twice when seeing an image, making them less dangerous.

Or I’m just naive

The real thing with the oil crisis, is the lack of cheap oil look how we’re already strugling with petrol above 2 EUR a litter. Politicians need to to massive investment in low-carbon energy source and public transport, and eco-friendly building, because if not people won’t afford driving to work or heating their home.

Just avoid the political communities

How many porn actress and football player earn millions? Pretty sure most of them don’t reach the minimal wage

Good old Bank transfer, and what about cash?

“Here’s the thing. No reasonable person has an issue with women having their own women’s activity groups. The annoying part is that whenever men try to do something similar, that’s a problem. Women either want them banished or demand entry, EVERY time.”

My rpg club took the incdusivity road in the 2010, and is now a very inclusive/diverse place. We do have the blue haired enbies that riqht winger hate, and some old players who after acouple of beer starts complaining about RPG becoming woke (An inclusive place means they’re welcome too)

We do have a couple of women only group and a point someone launched a men only table. While we had one of the old player complaining about the women only game, no blue haired enby complained about the men only game. So I have the impression that this whole women only space are OK, men only space aren’t is some bullshit.

Note that, this worked becaused the gender specific game include people identifying as this gender, are the exception, and have a justification. It’s not I don’t like wo•man so I want only a gender but * I want a game exploring masculinity/feminity and therefore will limit the cast gender*

There’s a stereotype of Chinese brands being “low quality” which obviously isn’t always true to begin with,

This was still debatable 10-15 years ago, but today? Huawei or Redmi do phone which compete in the same league as Samsung, BYD is leading the electric car market. (I even have a made in China Eastman guitar, for the price of the Taylor everybody has, I got a way better guitar, and that Taylor is damn great)

Sure, there is still tons of cheap, low quality stuff on Ali Baba,it’s great for hobby crafting but China has moved toward high quality products.

To answer your question, I expect to see a Chinese company entering the global Ram, FPGA and GPU market. Especially considering the US embargo forbidding Nvidia and Intel to export their high end products in China. Looks like a quick way to push China to grow their domestic production

There is relatively big ones including political organization who cover ads, or sue all ads not matching environmental laws, and a whole ad-free social media trend like for example Lemmy

What’s your target audience ? An what’s the goal ?

There is a difference between Giving a programming training to scientist/engineer who may need more than just Excel for data-processing/visualisation, and giving a discovery what programming looks-like for a general public, or people who want to do their own website.

For general public, the good-old “Logo” that kids learned programming with in the 70-90’s is still great

for scientists engineer, I would go for python which is the de-facto standard for data visualisation/processing when performance doesn’t matter

For a more foundation course, I think the everything is object approach in java can be pretty great

Horror RPG taught me about how important it is to take the time to play normality, let the player connect with their character, have fun and light roleplay moment, until that moment when horror steps in.

Player dealing with monsters and having blood up to their knee ends up being epic high fantasy but not horror.

On a more norme activity the movie the descent is a great exemple the first half slowly drift from stressful to frightening, then the second half is girl fighting Gollum in the mud, and turn from frightening to comical

Bass in music. If the bass play right, you don’t hear it, but if they miss or play wrong there is immediately something missing

Tabletop ?

Alice is missing is a must play if you’re into Narrative RPG, but currently playing a Coriolis campaign, the popular space RPG by free league

Don’t forget that the reason it takes years to understand legal jargon is that each word has a very specific meaning, often jurisdiction related. And that law students spend years understanding this meaning and their limit.

Getting a llm to translate it, may miss the jurisdiction dependencies, and over simplify some parts, let alone the issue with AI Hallucinations

Even in the west that one doesn’t stand. We have systemic unemployment and tons of hard working family owned business lost everything when Amazon took their market share

Considering the Arab empire, the Ottoman empire, the Japanese Empire to name a few a European can name, I would believe that Empire, slavery and colonies are a common problem with humans and not something specific amon European

Did the US ever have an advantage on energy? I thought that they never massively invested in nuclear nor renewable and that the electric grid(s) is(are) a mess with lack of interconnection and frequent blackout (relative to other first world nations)

Some instances turned off downvotes. While on the other hands some accounts are mass down voting. For reason I don’t get, upvotes are public but downvotes are private. IMO downvoters name should be available too
