  • why

    Jump

  • doesn't work at all, completely breaks down for the planetoids and moons...

    which makes sense, since those names are not german, which is why german grammar doesn't apply to them.

    latin loanwords work the same way in german as they do in latin: completely at random and just have to be memorized...but at least they do follow the gender of the deity, so if you know your greco-roman pantheon it's pretty easy!

    edit: also a very weird example, with a weird rule about ending in "e"; venus and earth (erde) are the only female planets...

  • oh, it does work...

    ...if you're bigoted enough.

  • you can just run battlenet through steam:

    • add the installer as non-steam game
    • set compatibility to proton experimental
    • launch/install
    • find the filepath for the battlenet .exe
    • change the filepath for the target of the battlenet installer to the .exe instead
    • never touch it again; it just works!

    a tiny bit of effort, but only required once. everything afterwards just works!

  • AI vegans: Why Gen-Z are turning against chatbots

  • damn, it goes on way longer than i thought;

    i thought it's about 10 years, but it's actually 15...

  • great sentiment!

    ..but the youngest of Gen Z is 20+ years old... definitely no longer kids.

    let's please not make the same mistake as with millennials?

    edit: i got the range wrong; it's 15 years (~2012), not 10 (2007)...

  • The FBI spied on a Signal group chat of immigration activists, records reveal

    Jump

  • because it's completely unsubstantiated bullshit?

    why would anyone upvote "someone's feelings" on a technical subject?

    this is a technology we're talking about: there is an objective right and wrong, feelings are irrelevant. especially when those feelings are completely baseless.

    the better question is: why would anyone upvote this garbage?

  • Is anyone here NOT?

    Jump

  • ah, that makes much more sense!

    you are very welcome!

    i hoped it would, but trying to explain turned out to actually be quite tricky, so i wasn't sure whether i did a decent job of explaining...makes me glad to hear it was comprehensible! ;)

  • Windows 11 could actually become the same kind of mistake Sony made with the PS3

    Jump

  • generally, yes, but it's a couple more now;

    • Austria's military is moving to open source
    • couple of french cities (was is lyon?)
    • i think denmark?
    • pretty sure there's a couple others

    point being: it's a clear trend!

    it's slow, yes, but it seems to be picking up steam!

    the idea is being seriously discussed at basically all state institutions.

    and more importantly: the reason for this trend is clearly data security. which states actually care about. so there's a very clear and easy to understand incentive, which makes it politically palatable.

    we'll have to see, but the trend seems to be heading in the right direction!

  • i think they mean that the maga crowd/fascists/nazis is/are generally doing fuckall and are just watching the world burn due to their heads being almost entirely filled with hot air.

    "don't worry! we'll just 'get rid' of all the bad people and everything will be fine!" can be kind of a soothing sentiment, i guess...if you never spend a single moment thinking about the implications.

    they assume, since they are doing fuckall to improve the situation, and are thus "just chilling", that means that everything is actually alright and we're not in crisis, like, all the time.

    and they assume, because they lack all empathy, that everyone else must feel the same way! --> that's the projection.

    so, if you have even a single shred of empathy, I'm afraid that, no, projection isn't gonna help you at all...

  • What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype?

    Jump

  • similar suggestion to BlackAngels: RimWorld?

    sounds like you'd enjoy top-down gameplay more than 1st person, so might be something to try!

    pro tip: try the base game first. the DLC are all good, but none are required!

    edit: RimWorlds' mod scene is also just incredible (some would probably call it non-credible too XD); there's Project RimFactory if you want a more factorio-like playthrough! (although, fair warning, RimFactory is pretty damn OP, up to you how much you abuse it...)

  • fucking peace.

    no, you dum-dum:

    just because YOU, personally, haven't been reading, hearing, or seeing the perpetual violence against Palestinians (and muslims in general) in and around isreal, doesn't mean it just appeared out of thin air, like you are suggesting.

    well, not suggesting... you're straight up lying.

    you are using your own ignorance as basis of fact.

    YOU are unaware of the hostilities happening, so you assume they DIDN'T happen. which is wrong.

    this genocide didn't just suddenly happen, it's been going on for decades. it's simply been a much slower process before (except for all the times in-between when it wasn't slow at all, but I'm not about to copy-paste half o wikipedia. look it up if you don't want to be ignorant), which makes no difference.

    a genocide, by definition, is not bound to a certain timeframe; when a people is eradicated deliberately, it doesn't matter at all how long that process took.

    Palestinians have been under direct attack for almost century now. that entire time is a continuous state of genocide.

  • Public opinion in Israel also does not appear to be influenced by the British.

    let's start with the easy one: this is completely irrelevant. public opinion is largely worthless and means nothing.

    The active current genocide started in 23.

    it started in the 1940s, arguably earlier.

    the very first thing that happened in the region was Palestinians being expelled from their own land in order to make way for the zionist regime.

    that's how Palestinian oppression started, and it's the reason the situation got so bad in the first place.

    it got much, much worse in '23, but that's not the start at all.

    It was triggered by a terror attack.

    no, it was the other way around; ongoing genocide triggered the terrorist attack.

    and more importantly:

    is this supposed to mean that genocide can be justified? is that what you're saying?

    Some have considered the attack inevitable due to continued oppression and border fences.

    gee, i wonder how that oppression started in the first place... certainly couldn't have been the british! they'd never meddle in the middle east for colonialist reasons!

    well...except in afghanistan....and iraq...and syria...and egypt...wait, how long is this list anyway?

    could the british empire be responsible for most of the clusterfuck that is the current middle east, by having drawn completely arbitrary lines on maps more than a century ago, which were deliberately designed to fence in diverse ethnic communities, with the explicit goal of suppressing the local populations by putting them in a constant state of unresolvable armed conflict in order to ensure instability in the region and as a result keeping education and living standards low, thus guaranteeing cheap oil for the foreseeable future by making it trivial to install dictatorships across the region?

    ...are you for fucking real?

  • Vienna's war on parking

    Jump

  • you generally don't take short trips by car in vienna.

    most of what you would need is within walking distance, almost everywhere has excellent public transport, which is also mostly faster than taking a car anyway.

    just isn't necessary to make people walk to their cars: if they're using their car, it's likely because they need to, not because they want to... public transport is just more convenient most of the time, because of the reduced parking options within the city! ¯(ツ)/¯
