It works outside dense cities too. It’s not FUN to drive on a highway, but the max speed of even the weakest 2nd gen model is not legal anywhere in my country. Not sure about first gen because Wikipedia didn’t list speeds for those and I CBA to look it up. The four door variants, though still tiny, had slightly bigger engines and therefore higher top speeds.

Fairly sure children in Germany can have beer at home too (SOME of them), but this one is a toddler lol

Gotta have that emergency döner

I couldn’t find a coin gor lemmyman, but the ticker for “lemon nation” is “LEMMY”.

I think I need to start my own crypto lol

Oh I got my fiber last year. But in the meantime I at least had ADSL starting 2004 or 2005. In a post-soviet nation at that

It’s now the name of a crypto token. Why? I have no idea.

In 2007? Damn I feel sorry for you

There was a joke that I can’t be arsed to look up about bedroom golf.

For solo players, there’s pocket billiards.

I’d pronounce it in English about the same as I pronounce hamster in Estonian. Just based off how it’s written and ignoring how human is pronounced.

Yeah, you gotta bomb the cafe, but do it in a police uniform. And don’t forget to smash all the windows of the other shops a couple of days before. That’s the part that necessitates the police uniform.

They’re doing the Apple/Google/Samsung thing now. Selling you a phone without a headphone jack, while also selling earbuds (or in this case over-ear headphones)

Dude you don’t have to put your load IN the magazine, it gets smelly. You use a sock for that! Or that’s what I gather from American movies from the 90s anyway.

That’s about how it feels, yes.

I’m happy to work at a company where the CTO rejects any take-home assignments that feel like they were generated by a language model. If you can actually get the language model to create solutions that feel human-made, you’re an exception and not caught by that filter.

Maybe, but then if you abolish wage-labour, you just have a different type of work needed to survive. Either you’re going off-grid and living all on your own, which would mean you don’t have a lot, but you’re truly independent - or you’re part of a society where you don’t get paid a wage, but instead receive certain living conditions similar to everyone else’s, and you’re expected to work to the best of your ability.

Yes, working for a wage is unnatural. But then being part of a large society with super specialized roles is unnatural. We’ve been doing unnatural for thousands of years now.

Considering I’m not even among the 4 people who downvoted you, I don’t think it’s a me problem. If you were trying to play a character there - it wasn’t over the top enough, it seemed like the average “trains solve everything and there’s no use case for cars, ever” person.

So why would you, an anarchist, defend those who literally simp for dictators? Because I’m talking about people who literally simp for Russia and China, which are capitalist countries - China minted more new billionaires in 2024 than any other country. Sure, it also has a bigger population than any other country, but if it was in any way communist, wouldn’t they prevent billionaires from happening? And I’m sure you understand that modern day Russia is about exactly as communist as modern day USA.

For commercial software, definitely. It’d be web and MAYBE Windows unless there’s a Qt nerd spearheading the project or something.

FOSS is actually better off here IMO, since it’s done by people as passion projects, so there’s no need to pinch pennies by eliminating target platforms. HOWEVER there’d also be more need for the devs to have different platforms to test on.

Also a very local chat program.

There are, but few of them also work on the web as an alternative to the desktop. Writing one shitty web app and offering Electron wrapped versions of it gets you a webapp, a Windows app, a Linux app and a MacOS app. And you already have web devs on the team because everyone does.

It bolsters my theory that LLMs are repacing brain usage by humans
