Alice Schwarzer sieht mögliche AfD-Kanzlerin Weidel als „ermutigend für Frauen“

Jump

Was in dem Kontext interessant ist, ist wie die Geschlechterunterschiede bei solchen Themen dann wirklich aussehen.

Dem Klischee nach wählen nur Frauen feministische Parteien und nur Männer Parteien, die für das Patriachat stehen.

In der Realität sind 44% der Grünen-Wähler Männer und 42% der AfD-Wählerschaft Frauen.

Alter, Bildung, finanzielle Lage und Tätigkeit haben viel größere Auswirkungen auf die Partei, die man wählt, aber bei keiner einzigen Wählergruppe hat irgendeine Partei die absolute Mehrheit.

Nur als ein ganz simples Beispiel, welches ich gewählt habe, weil es dafür eine sinnvolle Datenlage gibt.

Really tall people see others differently. For example, they see more of others' heads and less of others' bodies. They also see more of the background.

I tried it on a Quest 2 and a 3DS.

Since the VB only stationary 3D and not 6DoF motion-tracked VR, I don't think it translates well to the Quest. It did work really well on the 3DS though. At least it worked good enough to spend half an hour figuring out that none of the 16 or so VB games were good enough for anything more than a quick curious glance at them.

At least not for someone who has no nostalgia for the system. I guess if you had one as a child it might be more interesting.

Many consumer electronics manufacturers 'will go bankrupt' by the end of 2026 thanks to the RAMpocalypse, Phison CEO reportedly says

Jump

I don't think RAM manufacturers will feel any pain. There might be fewer consumer electronics manufacturers after this, but the same demand for consumer electronics. There will be about the same level of production, but just by fewer manufacturers.

Which makes my assertion correct.

But the post also says

They’re disempowering themselves. Describe themselves as a victim of circumstance, powerless and without responsibility. It’s a disempowering narrative. You’re shooting yourself in the foot. In this story that we live, you are casting yourself as an npc.

And that part was what I was responding to. Because nothing in there is correct.

In which case "I can't" is not giving up agency but instead taking agency in a way that's harder to dispute.

When one says "I can't" instead of "I won't", it's not a "I don't know how to" but a "I will not do that and I won't let you talk me into doing it".

Rayman 30th anniversary has save data bug and Ubisoft support says post launch support has ended

There's a ton of precedence for this.

We have accepted that our clothes don't fit, that our non-fitting shoes ruin our feet, that our furniture all looks the same and doesn't fit into the spaces we have, that consulting by knowledgeable sales people was replaced by product listings that can't even reliably tell you if a printer is monochrome or color.

Enshittification is nothing new. It's something that has been going on for at least the last 70 years.

I mean, just compare the fabric of clothes from 20-30 years ago to new stuff. I still got some clothing from the early 2000s that holds up just fine, while the newer stuff just falls to pieces after a year or so. You can even see that in the marketing. If you look at clothes ads even of cheap brands from the 80s, they all advertise with long-lasting quality. Pretty much no brand does that anymore.

So yes, AI will just make customer support, marketing and software quality way worse and we will just accept that like we have done for the last 70 years.

I'm not argueing that it isn't the national language. I just said that you could grow up in Wales never learning Welsh, because English is just as much (if not more) the language used in every-day dealings.

That said, the farthest north I have been was Merthyr Tydfil.

At least in the areas I have been in and the time that I lived there, Welsh was a language you had to actively seek out and not a language that was necessary to know if you lived there.

And that's the point of the 3rd category: That's the language you need to know to get around well in that country. If you go to the doctor's, if you want to talk to your coworkers, if you want to make friends with the locals, which language do you need?

I'm from Vienna and it's a similar thing with the Viennese dialect. While there is a limited revival happening, it's mostly a cultural relic more than a necessity in every-day life. 70 years ago, if you didn't speak Viennese you'd be an outcast. Now it's rare that someone speaks it.

While I was in Wales I got myself Welsh language resources and actively sought out Welsh speakers to try to learn the language, but of all the people I met there, I only met two adults who could fluently speak Welsh. The kids learned it in school as a second language, but by and large the adults didn't speak it.

Sounds like you are having trouble with English. I don't really understand what you are asking and judging by the comments of the others here I am not alone with that.

Maybe run your question through Google Translate or an LLM and post the result here so that we have a chance to actually understand what you are talking about.

I lived in Wales for a year and I managed to learn some very basic Welsh myself. It's been about 15 years now, but at least back then it was mainly old and very young people who spoke Welsh. Most people aged 20-60 didn't speak Welsh at all, with the younger ones learning it at school.

But I guess with that generation being up to maybe 35 now, speaking Welsh is likely much more common than it was back then. So yeah, my chart above is likely outdated.
