It’s not like AI is a legally defined term anywhere (that I’ve head of). Surely someone will end up suing google for things like this.

So far I’m sensing a food related theme with your sexual conquests

Fortnightly seems to be the norm here in Australia

Be mad that income tax is unnecessarily difficult to deal with. As has been pointed out by others online a lot recently, the US makes personal income taxes hard, where other countries you can fill it out in minutes if you have no deductions, and less than an hour if you do (and have kept good records).

No one likes paying taxes (usually) but since the process is so painless I don’t hear people complaining about income tax that much (outside of the right-wing media in my country, Australia)

The rest of the world would like a word. Do you really think only you people in the US exist?

Also the equivalent for psi is Pa (=N/m²), usually as kPa or bar (100 kPa).

Most people don’t really understand either to a great extent, and are just familiar with one or the other.

As always though, metric wins because of its interoperability with all the other metric units.

From a different vassal state (Australia), but I think the US is fair game, considering how how many countries are practically beholden to US foreign policy (and straight up meddling, in many, many cases).

As a side-note to your helpful link, I really dislike it when headlines use a comma in place of an “and”. Like, use “&” if you really must.

Print is not exactly the main way people read the news now anyway, I think they can spare the pixels!

Unless it’s Etymology Nerd, in which case the answer is “I made a creole of my bird and dolphin languages.” and it’s glorious.

Can recommend his videos, they are excellent.

Oh sorry, my point was that East Asia does it YYYY-MM-DD, with the exception of maybe some different delimiter and leading zeros depending on preference, they already coincidentally do it the ISO way!

May I introduce East Asia? They also like to do addresses top down

How does he breathe, and if there are valves, how do they let in only air and not water, considering the ball is spinning?

Do you reckon humour is ever used as an advanced torture resistance tactic? A very morbid thought, but I now wonder if anyone has ever made their torturers crack up to make them fond of their victim, in order to escape.

Yeah this bot annoys me. Because it never works ¯_(ツ)_/¯

If it’s because I’m using Firefox mobile, then that’s even more stupid, considering Lemmy harps on about not using a chromium browser.

This is interesting. Not a lawyer, but I’d encourage anyone in Australia to demand a free repair under Australian Consumer Law because the company bricked the laptop. I’d guess it would fall under the Acceptable Quality consumer guarantee, since the fault was caused directly by the manufacturer.

Not sure how you’d go about proving that, but you could then just take it to your state tribunal, like VCAt in Victoria and file a small claim.

Not a lawyer, not legal advice, but something to think about if you’re in this situation.

Problems caught early are much easier to fix than problems caught later. This applies to any project (I’m not a programmer, but an engineer in the traditional sense).

Just “doing it” without coordination and review is a great way to waste a bunch of effort down the line with re-work.

Edit: typo

An email client that can’t open email files? Hmmmmmm.

Is this something to do with the fact it’s routing all emails via Microsoft servers?

I am not a developer

🇳🇵 non-regtanguar flag gang unite!

The Key Word is every month was a record setter. May the gods have mercy on us. We’re so fucked

This is truer than you might expect. Just not as blatant as the meme. Especially in a work context, people will underestimate someone’s abilities, be inpatient with clarifications or simply favour others for tasks.

It’s unconcious with some people, they don’t even know they’re doing it.

I am a first language English speaker, but my partner isn’t and it’s really opened my eyes to how much we underestimate the language difficulties immigrants can have.

Not to say everyone is struggling, but just that I think English speakers do take language skills for granted. And unconsciously are biased towards people based on their preserved language skills.

Even once you’re fluent, like my partner well and truly is, it’s still hard.

I’m not saying china doesn’t have problems, but it’s this kind of attitude that sends us down the path of us vs them that I think is toxic and leads to nationalism.

I have no issue with people criticising things in other countries, just not be absolute about it.

There most certainly are many not fake things in China that are great. Friendly people, wonderful food, natural wonders (this and perhaps some others excepted, but still), beautiful villages etc.

Just as there are bad things too, historical and contemporary.

Only a sith deals in absolutes.

“Oh this is whack, the park authority/ Chinese government faking a waterfall? That’s pretty shit.” 👍 An opinion I think many could agree with and is a valid criticism.

“Everything in China is fake” 👎 No it isn’t.
