Because it is “the one joke” of transphobes

Danke, ich hasse es.

Ich sehe es schon auf der ersten Seite der Bild-Zeitung: “Merz-Union beschließt 49 Euro Ticket aus!”. Ach nein stimmt. Bestimmt die Grünen am Ende daran schuld.

You’d think so. But at least Germany struggles massively with missing personnel to staff trains (which includes roles beyond the driver). As far as I know there is no automated solution on the horizon for any form or scale of train traffic. The only self driving trains I have experienced require tight control of the rail environment (entirely underground or lifted above the surface) and special stations with airlocks.

Maybe there is just more money in self-driving cars. But I’m pretty sure they will happen before wide spread automated trains. Which sucks.

Nein, bitte, bleib nicht. Warum gerade der?! 😭 Zumindest ein kleiner Hoffnungsschimmer das die FDP zusammen fällt und an der 5% scheitert

Gibt noch einen weiteren: Infrastruktur zur Herstellung nuklearer Waffen und Randbereichen wie Medizin und Raumfahrt. Aber beides in Deutschland nicht so relevant. Bei ersterem hoffe ich es zumindest stark.

Well I don’t know what there USP is in world where OneDrive/Google Drive/iCloud exist. And there future plan is a focus on AI, so yeah, goodbye Dropbox is my guess

They are mostly ice crystals. But they form around soot from the exhaust. There is research into reducing those emissions to reduce contrails since they contribute to the greenhouse effect https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/nasa-dlr-study-finds-sustainable-aviation-fuel-can-reduce-contrails/

So the conspiracy guys are kinda correct that the contrails are bad, but once again for all the wrong reasons.

I mean technically, aside from the name, all statements on the right are correct I think. Don’t think huffing turbine exhaust is healthy for you 😄

Which in turn highlights the problem with all these omnibus bills where you have to vote for the bombs for genocide bill if you want school lunch funding. Doesn’t invalidate your point, but US politics is beyond bonkers.

They couldn’t keep Maggy Thatcher down, slay _queen baroness 👑 https://www.theguardian.com/politics/1999/jun/27/uk.politicalnews1

Ah the dark days before PBR… If only gameplay had also evolved with graphics.

What awful waste of human lives. And I guess there is no good way to die in war, but this just seems so atrocious for everyone involved

If AI is only a “parrot” as you say, then why should there be worries about extinction from AI?

You should look closer who is making those claims that “AI” is an extinction threat to humanity. It isn’t researchers that look into ethics and safety (not to be confused with “AI safety” as part of “Alignment”). It is the people building the models and investors. Why are they building and investing in things that would kill us?

AI doomers try to 1. Make “AI”/LLMs appear way more powerful than they actually are. 2. Distract from actual threats and issues with LLMs/“AI”. Because they are societal, ethical, about copyright and how it is not a trustworthy system at all. Cause admitting to those makes it a really hard sell.

I just hope Anno gets out of this in a good state. 1800 is probably the best one, if I ignore my nostalgia for 1602.

Well, without Israelis causing trouble, the Saudis and Iranians would still be jousting in proxy wars across the region, Turkiye would still be trying to kill the Kurds, and Syria would still be locked in civil war.

Maybe I’m ignorant or thinking of older conflicts, but isn’t all of the above still happening?

Either electro-chemically in batteries, but they might not get energy dense enough for seasonal storage.

Or chemically by creating Hydrogen, Methane or Ammonia. Those are very energy dense and except for Hydrogen easy to store with existing infrastructure. Currently it is just prohibitively expensive, because the net efficiency is bad, especially for Methane and Ammonia.

So without an Oracle I can’t say which it will be, but one or more of those will work if the world is committed to net zero.

I think solar will just drop in price so significantly that energy storage will be possible by pure scale. If you get paid to use electricity (which already happens during the day in summer), it doesn’t matter if your efficiency is terrible. It’s not elegant but it’ll get us close to net zero. Unless we blow all of our energy on stupid shit like generative “AI”

To me that is the problem and why I’ll probably cancel with this price hike. I don’t want more. I got YT Premium for YouTube, mostly to support creators, cause fuck watching Ads. But I have to pay for Music, Podcasts and whatever other garbage they try to stuff in there. It was the same with Prime. I don’t want to watch your stupid series, I just want free shipping, twitch prime and occasionally an old movie.

Sorry for the rant but these stupid subscription “bundles” are so annoying. The whole ecosystem is becoming shittier every year.

I mean steam doesn’t care what you executable you start for a game. So they could just run any other program instead. Doesn’t feel like any real new tbh
