  • Anti-Trump Protesters Across the U.S. Gather to Condemn White House’s Policies

    Jump

  • As a naive European, please someone explain: Why aren't there more people protesting? I don't get it. They don't even state a number here and these pictures look like it's been just a handful of people.

    I'm in Germany and after a conservative democratic party voted with the far right AfD in a ballot in parliament last week, there were mass protests with hundreds of thousands of people all across Germany. There were about 200.000 people in Berlin alone.

    Meanwhile I feel like in the US, democracy is currently being replaced by fascism in no time and everybody just kind of watches?

  • Of course material science is technology lol

  • What was the most cartoonish moment of your life?

    Jump

  • I was talking to a colleague in the office hallway who was holding an empty coffee mug. He fumbled with it a bit until it slipped out of his hands. He tried to catch it, got it, it slipped again, and again, and again. He juggled with that thing for what felt like an eternity until he finally caught it safely. I couldn't stop laughing.

  • Reducing meat dependence, looking for better options

    Jump

  • I would like to recommend the recipes by Christina Souteriou. I've been following her online for a while and she just published her first book called "Big Veg Energy". I cooked probably 10-15 of her recipes so far and they were all great. I think it might be exactly what you're looking for.

  • Gboard starts rolling out ‘Undo’ button on Android

    Jump

  • Yeah, I swipe probably 80-90% of the time, maybe even more. Gboard works pretty well for me. It's just way faster than typing every letter individually. Especially long words usually have a pretty good detection rate. For example writing this text I had to correct maybe 3 words, the rest was detected correctly on the first try and it takes me 1-2 seconds per word.

    Jump

  • That's great to hear. I just swiped a lot of words, hope it helps 😄

  • Gboard starts rolling out ‘Undo’ button on Android

    Jump

  • For a second I really thought I had now finally found an alternative to Gboard but unfortunately the swiping detection is really poor and I need it to be able to use German and English at the same time. So I guess it's still back to Gboard. :(

  • How to deal with Mom who CANNOT learn how to use a password manager, but demands I "fix it"

    Jump

  • Then make it easier for her to retrieve a password. A vault is not a good place. Give her a little notebook she can put in a shelf or drawer.

  • How to deal with Mom who CANNOT learn how to use a password manager, but demands I "fix it"

    Jump

  • This, and it should be passwords she chooses and can remember (at least the ones she uses the most). Not some random mix of letters and numbers.

    Also let her save them in her browser.

    Jump

  • I don't mean to be rude, but maybe stop forcing her to use a tool that you like but she doesn't. I'm tech savvy but I also think that password managers are a pain in the ass to use. Just let her choose a password of her choice for every service, give her a little paper notebook and let her note down all the passwords. Tell her to make them long and secure and different for every service. Tell her to store the notebook in a safe place. Done.

    Do you dislike when someone laughs over their own joke? If yes, why?

    Jump

  • I think those are the best ones.

  • The ugly side of Dutch city planning

    Jump

  • Horrible. Think of all the people that could have reached their destination 17 seconds earlier than they can now.

  • Google Pixel and other Android phones add 'Screen time reminders' to help you stop doomscrolling

    Jump

  • This actually sounds like a really nice feature. Hope my Android phone will get it with an update.

  • This shows how absolutely broken the American voting/party system is though.

  • What are your AI use cases?

    Jump

  • I use it for little Python projects where it's really really useful.

    I've used it for linux problems where it gave me the solution to problems that I had not been able to solve with a Google search alone.

    I use it as a kickstarter for writing texts by telling it roughly what my text needs to be, then tweaking the result it gives me. Sometimes I just use the first sentence but it's enough to give me a starting point to make life easer.

    I use it when I need to understand texts about a topic I'm not familiar with. It can usually give me an idea of what the terminology means and how things are connected which helps a lot for further research on the topic and ultimately undestanding the text.

    I use it for everyday problems like when I needed a new tube for my bike but wasn't sure what size it was so I told it what was written on the tyre and showed it a picture of the tube packaging while I was in the shop and asked it if it was the right one. It could tell my that it is the correct one and why. The explanation was easy to fact-check.

    I use Photoshop AI a lot to remove unwanted parts in photos I took or to expand photos where I'm not happy with the crop.

    Honestly, I absolutely love the new AI tools and I think people here are way too negative about it in general.

  • Deutschland - AOK-Studie: Neuneinhalb Millionen Bürger haben Depressionen

    Jump

  • Sorry, sollte nicht unfreundlich sein. Ich sehe das einfach in letzter Zeit gefühlt immer häufiger und verstehe nicht so recht, woher das kommt, finde es irreführend. Wollte daher darauf hinweisen. Inhaltlich hast du ja wahrscheinlich Recht, also alles gut.

    PS: dass du neu hier bist, konnte ich deinem Kommentar nicht ansehen. :P

    Herzlich Willkommen ;)

  • Können wir bitte aufhören ± statt ≈ zu benutzen? Ich hab gerade viel zu lange überlegt warum die statistische Unsicherheit 27 Mio sein soll.

  • All Of Apple’s Foldable iPhone Prototypes Have Visible Creases, Which May Explain The Company’s Apprehension Towards A Launch

    Jump

  • I have a foldable phone that also has a very slightly curved front screen (Honor Magic V2). It's perfect. You can barely see the curve, no weird reflections, it just feels very good in the hand, there are no sharp edges at all. Feels very smooth and nice to hold and use.
