Yeah, I feel like there isn’t much of a difference between taking an existing picture and editing the text into it or using AI to generate a picture and editing the text into it.

Because I think the text looks way too good to be done by AI.

There have been some people coming forward over the last few months that say they have been treated badly by him and that much of the videos were faked or exaggerated with CGI or they claimed something they just didn’t do.

Yeah, I can’t stand feeds and short form videos either, it feels like I am dumber after watching just a little bit of them.

I do watch a lot of YouTube though, there are really great creators in lots of niche communities, there is also a lot of slop and crap, but it can be avoided, at least for now, although Google is slowly driving me up the wall with some of their stupid decisions that make no sense, even they aren’t benefiting from them.

I bike to work, so I automatically do a workout 2 times a day. I definetly wouldn’t be able to get myself to do sport 2 times a day otherwise.

Yes, but also no. The GDR and the Soviet Union who supported it and supplied it were both almost bankrupt and economically broken. Infrastructure was falling apart because the state couldn’t afford to fix it.

The potests sure helped, but the government of the GDR was also in a state where it would accept the demands as a way out. The protests probably did accelerate the downfall a bit, but it would have happened either way.

Similar protests years before were leading nowhere.

Shit, I just wanted to make that joke 😂

Guess I am not the only one.

Yup, it was debian. I think I tried adding another repo, but gave up before I got it to work. I didn’t try to just download the file, because I had done that before and all I could do is extract whatever is inside the file, but not install it.

It was around 2 years ago, maybe Linux has gotten that much more user friendly in the last two years, but I doubt it.

I just wanted to install steam, but it wasn’t in the package manager list.

Then I tried apt-get and that didnt work, I forgot why.

You don’t have to do seriously advanced stuff on linux to run into issues without using the terminal.

My point was, even if you actually do some advanced stuff on windows you still don’t have to use the terminal.

It’s not realistic that you don’t have to use the terminal on linux if you want to do any more than web browsing and some text editing, etc.

That doesn’t mean that linux is bad, but let’s be realistic about what it is.

I tried that on linux, it doesn’t work if you want to do more than browse the web and other basic stuff.

You can do some seriously advanced stuff on windows using only GUIs

As a German the ICE is nothing special, at least when riding in 2nd class.

Sure, it’s nicer than riding regional trains, but it’s nothing very posh.

Germany was doing pretty bad economically after the first world war and especially after the great depression. Lots of people had no jobs and couldn’t afford anything.

Wages of the average worker aren’t keeping track with inflation right now, so that’s what would have to be changed to have any chance at stopping this.

Russia also needs to stop trying to destabilise the western world.

I am just outraged that some people are starving because they can’t afford food while other people have so much money that they don’t even know how they could spend it all.

If I want to be able to access my trunk easily I will have to go forwards.

Otherwise I always go backwards.

Am I the only one who would find the woman at the left more attractive?

The right just looks like plastic to me, same with all of these instagram influencer ladies who have more plastic surgeries than I have fingers.

Nothing you said inferred credibility unto Russian sources, I just wanted to add my take on the bigger picture.

Which is, that Ukrainian reporting is probably not 100% correct and there probably are inflations somewhere (like you said), it is still bound to reality, while Russian reporting lost its touch with reality on day one.

I guess its a knee jerk reaction to all the tankies defending russia lol

At least what Ukraine is claiming is somewhat based in reality compared to what russia claims.

According to russian sources, russia has destroyed some vehicle and plane types in higher numbers than ukraine ever had, yet Ukraine still has some.

Weird how that works.

I just use some cheapo liquid chain wax on my bike and I dont clean my chain very often, I just put some new wax on the chain when it gets just even slightly squeaky. I have noticed that almost no dirt stays on the drivetrain with wax, it just falls off after a few km. Everything stuck to the chain when using oil, so its an improvement and I dont spend nearly as much effort on it as you do.

Bad Management and upper level decision makers probably don’t help either.

Here in Germany we mostly use traffic cameras to enforce speeding laws. Unless you are driving way too fast you will most likely not get pulled over by police, instead some police officers set up mobile (and well hidden) traffic cameras in problematic areas which will fine anyone going too fast.

We do still have some traffic police, but we dont have as many as in the US. They will pull you over if they think you are under the influence or because your car has illegal modifications or is broken in an unsafe way.

I cannot believe that people in the US can just modify their vehicle or let its condition deteiorate so much that it is unsafe and its completely legal.

That is not the case here in Germany and it does probably help make it safer, even if some people, who would do a safe modification, cannot do it because its too hard to get it certified.

Thats impossible.
