I try to contribute to things getting better, with sourced information, OC and polite rational skepticism.Disagreeing with a point ≠ supporting the opposite side, I support rationality.Let's discuss to make things better sustainably.Always happy to question our beliefs.

  • Good job, Reddit!

    Jump

  • Yes, they are some pretty good niche subs that can't exist in Lemmy due to critical mass. I still read them from time to time but mostly stopped participating. Except for one related to my job so it benefits me a lot to stay connected to my professional community.

  • Some kind of abandoned terrain in between two houses/shops next to an old shopping arcade.

  • The business? It is fairly stable, as long as people keep horsing around.

  • The cat office, Naha

    Jump

  • Of businesses such as napping and watching passers-by, yes.

  • The lyrics to "if you're happy and you know it" imply you can be happy and not know it

    Jump

  • If you're unhappy and don't know it, eat one more snack. Crunch crunch.

  • Majority of CEOs report zero payoff from AI splurge

    Jump

  • That's possible, I don't know about the heavy industries. Checked for Toyota, founder was an engineer, second family CEO was also engineer, third was MBA, current CEO is not from the family and is an engineer. In any case, I don't think having an engineer CEO guarantees anything, aren't the GAFAM mostly led by engineers but got enshitifified for short term profit anyways?

    Jump

  • Are they? Rakuten is led by a business guru and the products are subpar unless they bought them. Also Japan has a huge deficit of native (software) engineers, so most of the engineers at this kind of companies are Chinese and Indian. Which companies are you thinking about?

  • Trump threatens 200% tariffs on French wine and champagne after Macron refuses to join 'board of peace'

    Jump

  • North and East of France also has beer, similar culture as the neighboring Belgium and Germany.

  • Trump threatens 200% tariffs on French wine and champagne after Macron refuses to join 'board of peace'

    Jump

  • The problem is that the union is politically weak due to the absence of central executive power able to enforce decisions on country governments. So countries are going to keep looking for their own interest in negotiating their little exceptions or flying under Trump radar to avoid his tantrums.

  • This is also what China is doing and the only loser will be the USA.

  • Rich people are a threat for democracy, Oxfam finds

    Jump

  • This makes me think, there is some kind of "system creationism" philosophy in the far left that is not unlike the Christian one. Thinking that some all powerfull entity (or group) created/designed the situation by itself rather than thinking it is the result of extremely complex historical chain of events and balance between groups and environments. By extension it leads to thinking that somehow removing the powerful entity magically solves the problem.

  • Once beset by pollution, Beijing's skies are clearer than ever thanks to EVs

    Jump

  • I didn't either, but then I started being shocked by some positions I saw randomly on Lemmy that I never did on Reddit, and then I understood the pattern. I had no idea what a tankie was before coming to Lemmy.

  • Once beset by pollution, Beijing's skies are clearer than ever thanks to EVs

    Jump

  • The explanation you got is fairly positive. The negative side (depending on your own compass) is that they have the reputation to host a lot (majority ?) of tankies, which creates tensions, with people who defend democracy for exemple. See this definition: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie You likely ended up on the lemmy.ml because it's one of the major instances and it is administrated by the core developers of Lemmy, which themselves are openly defending things related to the article above.

    Jump

  • Just so I know if my time will be well used to redact an answer, what's your affinity with lemmy.ml, hexbear and lemmygrad?

  • Once beset by pollution, Beijing's skies are clearer than ever thanks to EVs

    Jump

  • Living conditions have improved for the majority but the current leader (13 years) has increased autocracy, further reduced freedoms, continued oppressing Uyghurs and Hong Kong and increased the threat on Taiwan.

  • Blackboards were the OG dark mode

    Jump

  • I couldn't find any reliable source, but the most convincing idea I read was to reduce contrast and glare issues between the white chalk and its background. The green would reflect more light than the black, reducing the contrast and the glare. Also, the original blackboards were made of black slate, but then they became synthetic which made it easier to change the color.

  • Scarcisoft?

  • Sony AI patent will see PlayStation games play themselves when players are stuck

  • I wanted robots to do my chores but instead they are taking my job and my hobbies! Hopefully they become addicted to gaming and don't to take my job anymore.
