rufus

Oder dafür, dass er uns das Erdgas abgedreht hat damit wir im Winter frieren sollten, die ganzen Drohungen und nebenbei Erwähnungen von Atomkrieg. "Cyberkrieg", Desinformation und illigitime politische und gesellschaftliche Einflussnahme, durchaus mit Erfolg und Auswirkungen auf unser Land.

Ich denke das Thema ist schon komplex genug, ich dachte ich hätte die Anspielungen rausgelassen... Aber die erste Hälfte vom Satz steht noch da... Naja.

As I said I don't know how driving is in the US. I heard it's really bad in some places. I know it's the way we do it here. There is just one road and cars and bicycles need to get along and share it. It's not always easy, you're right with that. But the sideway isn't an option. Pedestrians and bicycles don't mix well and there regularly are really bad accidents. And the cyclists also get killed by cars there.

There are studies. You end up having a 10x or 20x higer chance to die when cycling on the sideway by being missed by a car driver (I forgot the exact numbers). You can try and mitigate for that by really paying attention yourself, slowing down etc. Keeping track of all the cars around you. I'm not sure if you end up at the same chance to die as if you were cycling on the street. I'd hop off my bike and walk it across the junction if i were on the sideway.

Btw. is it legal to cycle on a sideway where you live?

It's because you're exactly in their blind spot. If they're on the street and you're on the sidewalk next to them. They'll run you over at the next junction, as it has happened in this case. It's always right turns and things to the side of cars. And you'll be exactly there when cycling on the sidewalk.

Additionally car drivers don't anticipate fast moving things on the sidewalk. They'll have a quick glance at the sidewalk directly before and after the junction. Because a pedestrian can only move so far in the time until they made the turn. Then they'll watch out for other traffic on the street, signals and so on. In the meantime you'll emerge out of nowhere on the pavement, moving at 5x the speed of anything that's anticipated to be there and that's going to be a problem.

I don't know how it's in the US. But generally you should just cycle in plain sight directly infront of them on the road. It's difficult to miss that.

I mean she's standing right next to him and it's very obvious. I'd say it's his dry humor that he deliberately doesn't acknowledge what the audience is laughing about. He wouldn't have said "you shouldn't laugh about that" unless that's the additional joke.

Hab diese Diskussion nicht so wirklich verfolgt. Ich finde man sollte der Ukraine was auch immer sie wollen liefern um ihr Land effektiv zu verteidigen. Fände es andersherum auch nett Hilfe zu bekommen wenn ich angegriffen würde. Ich verstehe die Diskussion sowieso nicht so ganz. Ist ja jetzt nicht so als würden die regelmäßig Scheiße bauen mit dem was wir als Unterstützung liefern, oder das an Unterdrücker-Regimes weiterverkaufen würden oder so...

Gut, so die Gesamtheit verstehe ich schon... Wir haben Angst vor Putin und überlegen uns ob wir unseren potenziellen Freunden helfen sollen, oder sie lieber vor die Hunde gehen lassen, damit er vielleicht lieb zu uns ist. Ich denke aber eher das das Gegenteil eintreten wird.

Ich denke ich würde unserer Bundeswehr das nächste Sondervermögen streichen, wenn sie offensichtlich nicht mit Geld umgehen können, die nächsten 100 Milliarden an die Ukraine geben, dafür können die sich ein paar schicke Marschflugkörper, Raketen und Kampfjets bei uns kaufen. Und im Gegenzug erledigen die zum Gemeinwohl Aller das Problem mit Putins Kriegslust. Ich denke das wäre eine Win-Win-Situation. Und unsere Rüstungsindustrie freut das bestimmt auch.

Ich finde es sowieso nicht gut, dass wir alles so scheibchenweise rausrücken, immer gerade zu wenig, so dass sich der Krieg immer weiterzieht. Vielleicht sollten wir uns mal entscheiden ob wir jetzt effektiv helfen wollen oder nicht. Damit das irgendwann auch mal ein Ende haben kann, ich meine dort sterben ja täglich Menschen...

Entirely depends on the software you install on it?!

I mean the OS and UI don't give you "smartness". And I'm not completely sure about the definition. I for example think it's smart not letting big tech companies steal all your data. So I might choose a different OS and different Apps than somebody else.

Concerning AI: I think ChatGPT runs on all of them. And I think all the assistants also run more or less in the cloud and don't depend on the exact phone model. However, there are AI things that run on the phone itself. Camera picture enhancement and speech recognition for example.

Manufacturers often advertise with new AI features and unlock them on their newest flagship models. So the answer to your question regarding AI in preinstalled apps is probably: The current most expensive flagship models of Google/Samsung/Apple. One will have a slightly better camera AI, one a better photo editor and one a better AI assistant.

Kids should use their own creativity, practice reading, creating something. Play outside, get dirty. Do sports, maybe learn a musical instrument. And do their homework themselves.

I'd say many things are alright in the proper dose. I mean ChatGPT is part of the world they're growing in to...

And 16 isn't a kid anymore. They can handle some responsibility. I don't see a one-size-fits every 16 yo solution. I think you should allow them and decide individually.

I'd say at 16, give them some responsibility and let them practice handling it. But that means supervised. You can't just give them anything and hop they'll cope on their own. And AI has some non-obvious consequences / traps you can run into. Not even most of the adults can handle or understand it properly. So your focus should be teaching them the how and why, in my opinion. Alike you'd teach your kid how to use the circular saw at some point that age. As a parent you should lokk at them and see if they're ready for it and how much supervision is appropriate.

Your questions are too short and vague, I don't understand what you want and what the letters "wd.vp" stand for.

Here is gluetun's wiki with a description how to get protonvpn running: https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun-wiki/blob/main/setup/providers/protonvpn.md

When you've signed up, you are provided with more information, help, tutorials and configuration files by protonvpn. Read that, too.

You could also type your questions into google.com or look for step-by-step video guides on YouTube.

I applaud your optimism. And you're right. The design of the fediverse encourages these properties. But there are also other dynamics at play.

I wouldn't describe Lemmy as an intellectual place. It's more a cross-sectional take on society. It's a diverse place of common folks, a few nerds, people posting the news, sharing memes or asking questions...

It depends a bit on the specific community. Some have nice people and active conversation, some don't. Especially niche topics are a mixed bag. We're just 50.000 active users so that means for some smaller hobbies you can't really get a conversation going. But you included some broad topics. I'm sure some of them work well here.

[email protected] regularly has good posts. Debate and politics work very well all across the platform... I'm not really an expert on the communities here, I hope other people can give good recommendations. Art, literature and ecology also have healthy communities. Sometimes entire instaces dedicated to it.

I think if you're willing to share this place with a diverse group of people, you can get happy here.

I think it's supposed to make your phone notify you if you move and there is another unknown BLE device constantly moving with you. That means someone put one of those small keyfobs in your backpack. It'd be a known BLE device if you put it there yourself and added it to your account.

Yes, me too. I've unsubscribed from the political and news communities, several weeks ago. That helps. And I don't think it's specifically a Lemmy problem. It's everywhere. And since lots of people use Lemmy as a news feed, we get all the doom posts in our timelines.
