Tf did I do to you that I earned a call out like this? 😭

I’m not sure it’s particularly left or right leaning, there was a ban on social media, protests against the ban and the protestors were shot by armed police which sparked more protests and riots, the major grievance seems to be political corruption.

I don’t think any of ^ really slots into a traditional left/right framework, that said the more I read about Nepalese politics the more confused I become.

the corrupt government they are overthrowing is a coalition between Nepali Congress and the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist–Leninist). Although prime minister Oli comes from the communist partner in the coalition despite them being the minor partner? But I have also read that they unified ml party merged with another communist party a while back?

Either way, glad to see corrupt politicians being replaced.

The letters that make up words is a common blind spot for AIs, since they are trained on strings of tokens (roughly words) they don’t have a good concept of which letters are inside those words or what order they are in.

The only metric to imperial conversion I remember is kilometers to miles since it’s pretty close to the golden ratio.

Even if you don’t remember that the golden ratio is 1.6 and a bit, you can approximate it by using successive terms of the Fibonacci sequence.

1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13 …

So 8 miles is about 13km (actually 12.87)

I think we don’t have enough language to talk about difficulty in a productive way.

You could keep all the boss mechanics the same in a game but add a 1 minute unstoppable cut scene at the start and the game is “more difficult” because it takes you longer to learn boss patterns and experiment with different strategies. But that feels very different to narrowing the windows to react or expanding the move set of a boss which feels different again to changing the values so you need to grind more/fewer levels or resources to pass it.

“Runback too long” and “git gud” sound a lot like people talking past eachother, but maybe thats just an artifact of the journalist reporting rather than the discussion itself

Because for a lot of people posting snark on the internet is more flattering to their ego than advancing the goals of movements they claim to support.

(Yes I amxaware of the irony within this post)

Technically the act passed in 2023 under the Sunak government.

That said; I can’t seem to find a vote breakdown and I would not be at all surprised if labour also backed it.

I’m hoping enough public dissatisfaction leads to labour repealing it but I won’t hold my breath.

It’s supposed to be the sound French people make when they laugh, despite none of the french people I know sounding anything like that.

I think it’s part of this weird cultural stereotyping the internet does where someone posts a funny meme with an inaccurate stereotype in it, then a legion of mouth breathers re-post the same meme whenever the nationality in question comes up, then due to repetition people who have never met that nationality thinks its real.

People stopped doing the fake “Ching Chong” false Chinese accent bit ages ago (thank god) but I guess France and the French are still valid targets.

I got one via YouTube, I think I was so shocked to see that wars have pr campagins and advertising spend now that I forgot the actual details.

Theme gist was that Iran developing nuclear weapons was a threat to world stability and isreal was stepping up to do what had to be done etc. etc.

No mention of Islam but given it’s a PR campaign I would be surprised if they connected race or religion to their motivation for bombing.

Do you get joy from simple things like eating a nice meal or taking a hot shower on a cold day?

Can you anticipate joy, if you are planning to meet up with friends or watch a movie or read a book; does thinking about the activity lift your mood even a little?

When you think back to happy memories do you feel happy, do you remember what the sensation of happiness felt like?

Not a professional and none of this is diagnostic one way or another, but it’s probably worth checking if you have exhausted or outgrown a hobby which just means you need to find more things you enjoy even if it’s just to add variety to your week. Or if your ability to feel joy itself is failing, in which case you probably need to a professional

Coin flip between it just being yet another case of musk lashing out because his ego hurts and him trying to distance himself from the trump admin when the closeness has caused catastrophic damage to his companies brands (too little too late, but still)

The only series I would consider installing ubisofts launcher for.

The trailer looks really good, it seems like they have made modifiers for island beauty localised rather than island wide which makes sense, now we can benefit from building sperate residential and industrial districts.

Land based combat I think is also new, it will be interesting to see how this plays out, but the lack did always seem like a glaring omission in 1800.

Hopefully they have done away with the influence system or at-least heavily modified it, it felt so bad in 1800 having to pick between ships, island defenses and buildings that allowed you to actually use all the cool items you found.

As much as I dislike the fact that the “flagship” instance for lemmy is an echo chamber that bans for political wrong think, I still think Lemmy on average is a positive and it isn’t funded by ads or vcs so it should be proof against the most common avenues for enshittification.

So I set up a recurring donation despite being someone that would 100% get banned by the people I’m donating to if I were to comment on their instance.

Same way I can’t stand people using one negative within a larger political platform as an excuse to parrot anti-electoralism I feel like I shouldn’t use one unfortunate facet of the fediverse as an excuse not to donate towards its continued development.

Support “better” rather than waiting for “perfect”

Just to add to your (excellent) comment; in the UK you can be prescribed medical marijuana but it has to be done by a consultant level doctor and a multi disciplinary trial. The most important disqualifying factor is any history of psychosis, if they see that on your medical records they will not write you a prescription.

So I would a assume there is some published medical literature they are following which states cannabis exacerbates the symptoms of psychosis.

I got nitro for similar reasons but would up cancelling when discord sent ads to a friend of mine with my screen name on it, “why not join your friend _____ with nitro” or something.

Absolutely not, don’t use my name to shill to people I respect.

So my understanding is that they are the second strongest, but still at around 20% the other German parties formed a coalition that froze Afd out of power. So they are still a threat in future elections, but they have limited impact on policy for now.

Is that correct or have I got the wrong idea?

The interesting thing about reading from different bubbles to get the different perspectives on the same event is just how different the set of events covered is.

The right may be furious about something and the left barely cover it and vice versa, it needs to be a huge event to attract comment from both sides.

Even if you don’t buy into this logic, you still have to do it in quite a few places because the security auditors have a line in their checklist about being able to extract any internal information from error pages

Best of luck with the job search, linkedin is awful, but at-least the need for it passes.

A bit of both, I got Manchester from the skyline then needed to sate my curiosity
