Tap for spoiler
It’s an epic movie about a Spartan holding holding his ground against no Persians at all.

- Comment on AI chatbots are becoming popular alternatives to therapy. But they may worsen mental health crises, experts warn 5 days ago:
I’m fairly confident that this could be solved by better trained and configured chatbots. Maybe as a supplementary device between in-person therapy sessions, too.
I’m also very confident that there’ll be lot of harm done until we get to that point. And probably after (for the sake of maximizing profits) unless there’s a ton of regulation and oversight.

When a poor kid gets flattened by an SUV, the only reasonable response is to sigh, feel sad for a moment, and then move on.
Not true. You could also call into question why the kid was outside in the vicinity of motor vehicles! Surely the parents can be blamed as well.

I disagree. Some of them are actually bad.

I mean, this does seem like an improvement.
It’s not like they didn’t discuss this before, they just opened the doors for a change.
- Comment on 'We're done with Teams': German state hits uninstall on Microsoft 1 month ago:
Why is this article about Schleswig Holstein, the northernmost state of Germany, located in Frankfurt?
It’s like writing an article about Iowa and labeling it with Las Vegas (USA).
I continue to applaud the effort though, hopefully it all works out and the other states follow suit (using the same software bundles).
- Comment on Crunchyroll CEO Responds to Calls To Pay Japanese Anime Companies More Money for Overseas Distribution 2 months ago:
Wait, the companies holding all the rights have nicely asked Crunchyroll to pay more for overseas distribution?
My brothers in Anime Jesus, you are actively selling those rights. Just increase the price.
- Comment on The Beginning After the End • Saikyou no Ousama, Nidome no Jinsei wa Nani wo Suru? - Episode 9 discussion 2 months ago:
I stuck with it so far, although I find it quite mid. Would never binge it, but one episode a week is fine.
I watch it mostly because I wanted Mushoku Tensei with a less terrible main character (the ecchi child doesn’t really do it for me).

The code can only be written in VB.Net.
- Comment on Microsoft is putting AI actions into the Windows File Explorer 2 months ago:
They’re better make it so the context menu doesn’t take 2s to fully load while moving the bottom rows around first.
Bitch, every valid action for a file is in the diving registry, sorted by file type. Why do you need to think about this?

- Comment on French culture 2 months ago:
English needs a major spelling reform, but there’s no way to actually implement one. In order to match spelling to pronunciation, you would be to have a well-defined “high English” pronunciation.
But any semblance of uniform pronunciation doesn’t even exist within the UK (or even just England), much less across the entire English-speaking world, including places like Canada, Kenya, Nigeria, Australia, New Zealand, India, and many, many more countries.
And even if you somehow manage to create something (this is basically how “high German” was created, after all), good luck getting all the different governments to adopt the reformed spelling.

- Comment on Here the fuck we go again 3 months ago:
There’s a semantic difference between “supporting mods” and “provide support for modded installations”. The former is fairly common and is what steam workshop is about and is what you are talking about.
The latter is basically unheard of (for what I hope are obvious reasons).
The OP is a bit ambiguous about which of the two or is.

Sure, but despite all the crypto bros assurances to the contrary, the only real-world applications for it is buying drugs, paying ransoms and getting scammed. Which means that any non-zero amount of energy is too much energy.

Tbh, that would have been extremely simple to come back from: Fire his ass. The issue is that they didn’t.
- Comment on 🐸 time 5 months ago:
Heat tolerance will also not help against the increases in storms, floods and wildfires that are directly caused by the heat increases.
Summer being 110°F is not even in the top 10 of why climate change is bad.
- Comment on Amazon Boycot March 7-14th | No Purchases. Its time to disrupt the system. 5 months ago:
One thing Amazon is better at (at least here in Germany) is free shipping. But seeing how that is a least partially responsible for creating a cutthroat delivery market, where companies contract out delivery work to barely self-employed drivers for barely any money, paying for shipping doesn’t seem like a bad idea (even though I know the drivers won’t really see any of that money in the end)

- Comment on Mexican President Threatens to Sue Google Over 'Gulf of America' Label on Maps. 5 months ago:
There’s a slight difference in that “Ostsee” is the common name. If the German chancellor decides to call it “Deutsche See” tomorrow, the name would continue to be “Ostsee”, because that’s how language usually works.
“Gulf of America” is just a dictator’s wish of a common name. The people of OpenStreetMap decided to use the tag “official_name:en_US” for that reason, while keeping “Gulf of Mexico” for the commonly used “name:en-US”.

- Comment on After Musk gesture, activists project 'Heil' on Tesla plant 6 months ago:
They’re probably referring to § 86a StGB, which makes it illegal to use symbols of unconstitutional or terrorist organisations.
Symbols explicitly covers flags, badges, uniform patches, slogans and greetings (for obvious reasons).
- Comment on After Musk gesture, activists project 'Heil' on Tesla plant 6 months ago:
I mean, yes. We definitely know how to support someone literally doing a Hitler salute.
And we’re confident enough that there is no valid reason to ever use that gesture that we elected to prohibit it by law, yes.

You connect power there.
This device literally does exactly this, coming from a USB C connector.
