“Instead of constantly making futile attempts to control the weather, we should adapt to the ever-changing climate that has existed since time immemorial. After all, climate has always been a reality that impacts humanity from the outside, and we must align our actions accordingly.” — from Google’s translation of the AfD manifesto

Huh. I knew they were pretty openly fascist, but didn’t realize they were climate deniers too.

Yeah? We can only hope that maybe some day the nation will progress to the point where it’s possible to reach the historic first election of a president who isn’t running a cryptocurrency scam.

Reading this is not going to be good for my faith in humanity, is it. Let’s see…

1. make them think everyone else is doing it
2. bribe them
3. get their cult leader to tell them to do it
4. persuade them that it’s good for “the economy”

With these techniques in mind, you may be able to persuade people to take bold actions such as sharing a video, initiating a conversation, or signing up for a newsletter.

The hacker news discussion is surprisingly not bad. Very few Google stans coming in to shill for their corporate masters, and they’re getting soundly ignored and downvoted.

Oh, sorry, did not mean to put that in c/technology.

In the old days we had large numbers of people believing that being online meant using AOL, Compuserve, or whatever walled-garden type of “portal” they were lured into using. But we could mostly rely on tech-aware people like computer programmers to know better. Not any more. Today it’s a more diverse group that knows better, but a less cohesive and politically influential one, and it makes up a much smaller fraction of net users.

The best way to get that music out of your head is to let this music start playing in your head.

If you wait until you’re 40 it’ll be super easy.

Does anyone actually use calendars that put Monday on the left? Not where I live but I haven’t seen the calendars of most of the world.

If you seriously want to know, bear in mind that you’re only going to get answers here from the kind of people willing to watch a youtube video based on nothing more than that clickbait thumbnail, and that audience might consist mainly of very weird people.

Oh, two choices. So I guess it probably switched to using your intel i915 graphics instead of the nvidia gpu. I dunno how to fix it, but it seems likely that’s what happened.

half of them would simply not open at all with any tweaking. The rest of the games eventually started to run but some of them were hit by performance degradation severe enough to not be playable.

It sounds like your video card driver stopped working and it’s fallen back to non-accelerated graphics.

Given their mental capacity is so limited that they have such trouble with the concept of “drinking” I wonder how they managed to travel across the vast distances between the stars to visit Earth.

Is it even possible to run Facebook so badly that it stops making money? I guess we’re finding out.

They did a study on my brain? I didn’t even know about it.

My family’s version would’ve been more like:

Who broke this?

Me

Thank you for being honest. How?

Ninja moves

Don’t do it again.

I can’t promise that

[three hours of yelling]

Thank you. I’m glad my instincts told me to read the comments on this one before following the link.

There are two standards to choose from: Either you go by the direction it’s rotating, or you use the pole that’s on the same side of the ecliptic as earth’s north. In the case of Mars they both agree.

No. Most recent thing I searched for: How did they decide which way is “north” on the planet Mars? Good luck to any AI behaviour-tracking analysis engines trying to figure out why it was that.

If the idea is to connect with family and friends, there are parts of the Fediverse where you can post stuff that’s only visible to followers. Probably not possible on lemmy or piefed though, I think.
