Opposite experience for me, we went from 1 to 3 cats by adding the new cat every 6ish years.

Didn’t really do anything special, just brought the new cat home and that’s it. Maybe has to do with all of them being from the same breed (Oriental shorthair) and the specifics of the breed itself

True, it’s a lot of paperwork and not the most efficient, but I can trust that it will work

Even in tech, there are things that probably haven’t changed in the past 25 years

Tbf, for me, that’s more of a forum territory. I wasn’t even using the subreddit for Aprilia motorcycles, but been on Apriliaforum for years

Idk about that, I used to sometimes work for a group that translates manga and have seen similar patterns to that

AFAIK This is only technically true, IIRC, back then, mods could add anyone they wanted as a moderator for their subreddit without the user in question having any say in it.

So the jailbait mods thought that it would be funny to add spez to the mod list as a joke

I don’t remember actually doing tips as a percentage back when I lived in Latvia, it was usually that you took the bills and left any coins, maybe added some on top if there weren’t many.

So probably 10% at most but still basically what I made per hour as a warehouse worker

I mean, a lot of it is just people who started using chatgpt to do some simple and boring task (writing an email, CV, or summarizing and article) and started thinking that it’s the best thing since sliced bread.

I would know that since I’m an university student. I know the limitations of current AI stuff so I can cautiously use it for certain tasks and don’t trust the output to be correct. Meanwhile, my friend thought that he was making chatgpt better at answering his multiple choice economics quiz by telling it which of the answers it gave was wrong…

I mean if Turkey can just decide to change it’s name and everyone has to respect it (not me Turkey it is), I don’t see why this is different

The problem is that Lemmy isn’t at the point where I can browse it like I do on Reddit.

After the API thing killed my main reddit app, I just lurk on like 4 1 million+ user sports/video game/military meme subreddits and check on them every 1h/30min to see 10 new posts or any important news that happened. I check r/all maybe like once every few months.

The relevant lemmys just aren’t that active or don’t have low-effort post rules, so I’m kind of stuck browsing the front page of Lemmy if I want to see more than 10 posts per day

AFAIK the built-in translator doesn’t support Japanese, which is 99% of translation I need and the extension (which is what is was trying to use before) either requires you to select the text that you want to translate one-by-one or run the whole page through translate.google.com, which doesn’t work with any page that requires an account to access or triggers ddos protection on some others.

The problem for me is that the built-in translator is too convenient

I’m still running a 1070ti, before that it was the R9 390 and R9 390X, both of them died though. One probably had it’s voltage regulator fail and the other probably had it’s chip die because it will boot windows but die as soon as it had to do any work

I think that a lot of people are missing this, my first Windows was Windows XP, so I’m pretty much used to doing everything through a GUI

I ignored Windows 8, and even 10 for a while, but that was because Windows 7 was still working and supported and still kinda is my favorite version of Windows.

Then at some point I just switched to 10 and been using it ever since while installing the occasional distro to see if I can move off of Windows (Answer is still no) or as an emergency desktop bootable USB

Funnily enough that’s where I find most of the litter in Japan, like, if you go to any non-main road that goes through a bit of forest, you will see signs threatening fines for littering, with a bunch of trash tossed in that exact area.

I have seen cans, bottles, ACs, TVs, baby car seats, bags, and general household trash. Also found a golf club once that I actually brought home because I thought that it was neat. And this is only along a single stretch of road that is only like 1km long.

So Japan isn’t some miracle society that doesn’t litter, it’s just that they do it someplace that is somewhat out of sight.

Yay for Oriental voids, this lady has been in the family for a decade, also, everytime I hear someone say that all cats are assholes, I know that they never had an Oriental

I feel the same about my apartment door (my apartment was built in the 1970s), it has a mailbox attached to the inside of it and there is a slot in the door to put mail in it from the outside, it gets rarely used since most of the mail is delivered to the newer mailboxes installed by the stairs on the first floor, but If I’m not home, the delivery driver usually drops the slip in there.

However, below the mailbox is another, smaller, door that is intended specifically for newspapers. I tried to open it out of curiosity, but the latch was quite stiff and was painted over at some point, so probably the previous tenant also didn’t use it. That means that small door has probably been closed for at least a decade, if not more, and probably will remain closed forever.

Sudoku is my go-to for boring time on the airplane

Also, I’d say that odds also favour places that nobody really gives a shit about, like sure, US, UK, China, Russia, large parts of Europe, and North Korea are probably guaranteed to be nuclear craters, but I doubt that any of the missiles are pointed at Africa or most of South America
