America is a powerful country sure (though hardly controlling the world these days), but I don't see how that would make me jealous. I wouldn't want my country in that position. It's not like the country's power improves peoples' lives, as America can clearly demonstrate. Your country's immense wealth is put into the military or hoarded by your billionaire class, while regular people are suffering or dying for not being able to afford medical treatment, something unheard of in Europe. I feel pity there, rather than jealousy.

All that power you have will now be wielded by some fascist clown who is threatening to throw the world into disarray. I am angry and worried about that, so you I guess can call me "salty" if you want. The average American might not be to blame for that, but quite a lot of Americans who voted for this shit sure are.

You think Europeans are jealous of Americans? You couldn't pay me to live there, especially with Trump in power.

Sehr gut. Freut mich auch, da meine alte Hochschule in der Liste zu sehen.

It's insane to me that any sensible person/organization/institution is still on that platform, which is nothing but a fascist propaganda outlet at this point. People need to leave it in droves already.

I found 6 hours a day with flexible working times quite comfortable, working from home monday to friday. 10 hours would be way too long for me, can't even really stay concentrated on work for 8 hours.

Bei Trade Republic kann man zwar "Bitcoin kaufen", man hat dann aber keinen Zugriff auf die eigentlichen Bitcoin und kann sie z.b. nicht an einen Wallet schicken. Wenn du also einen Scammer bezahlen willst ist Trade Republic völlig nutzlos.

But why would they do that when they can just generate the content, no artist required?

I haven’t seen an AI make an convincing oil painting yet :-)

Maybe not for you, but search for oil painting prints on amazon and you'll find tons of AI generated stuff. The average Joe already can't tell the difference.

For professional artists, AI art is taking away their livelihood. Many of them already lived in precarious conditions in a tough job market before and this is only getting worse now, with companies increasingly relying on cheaper AI art for things like concept art etc.

For me, as a hobbyist and art consumer, the main issue is AI art invading "my" spaces. I want to look at Human-made art and have no interest in AI-generated content whatsoever. But all the platforms are getting flooded with AI content and all the filters I set to avoid it barely help. Many users on these platforms roleplay as real artists as well and pretend their art isn't AI, which annoys me quite a bit. I don't mind if people want to look at AI art, but they should leave me alone with it and don't force it down my throat.

I'd say like 20%. Not unlikely he'll try but there will be pushback. Also his age and health or an assassin might well get to him first. He might try going for a family dynasty instead, with Donald Jr following him.

DLSS without frame generation is at least equivalent (sometimes superior) to a native image though.

It really isn't though. DLSS produces artifacts, especially for quick camera movements as well as things like hair and vegetation. Those artifacts get heavier the smaller the native rendering resolution is. It also differs quite a lot between implementations. In some games it looks better, in others worse (e.g. Dragon's Dogma 2 and Stalker 2).

But my point wasn't to bash DLSS anyway. It's a good technology, especially for lower powered devices. I use it in many games on my 2070s. But Nvidia using this technology to claim "4090 performance" on a card that really has far less power than a 4090 is dishonest and misleading. To make an honest comparison, you'd use the same settings and parameters on both cards.

With heavy DLSS and frame generation. Total bullshit and false marketing by Nvidia IMO.

Finde solche Funktionen nur eingeschränkt nützlich, da sie ja nicht den eigentlichen Diebstahl verhindern. Wegfahren können die Diebe trotzdem und ich denke dass sie sich in den wenigsten Fällen davon abhalten lassen würden dass der Motor/Akku gesperrt ist. Würde da deshalb sicher keinen monatlichen Betrag für zahlen.

Nice! Never had the F100. Always wondered how that "Analog stick" (that I think was really just a DPad?) controlled.

Sure. But will it be profitable and will enough people want to use it? I think most likely the answer is no.

Hunters are a big lobby here. They don't want competition by predators. As long as there's no natural balance, they can tell everyone their hobby is essential work for the preservation of nature. An actually sustainable solution is against their interests.

Does it have a proper suspend/resume function for games? For me, that's pretty much the benchmark for reaching a "Steam Deck-level" experience. But I think none of the other handhelds have it.

Seems a bit like a vicious circle to me. Hate against vegans leading to a hateful reaction, leading to vegans being perceived as assholes, leading to more hate against vegans etc. I guess it's understandable, but it also seems counterproductive for spreading veganism.

Anecdotally, as a vegetarian I can say that the most vicious attacks against my lifestyle were not by meat eaters but some vegans (online-vegans to be precise, all I've met IRL were nice people). That's despite me certainly never attacking veganism, I even think it's morally superior to vegetarianism.

Data is money. Whatever data a company can legally collect (or get away with illegally collecting), they will collect.

I'd join the (German) greens and advocate for better bike infrastructure and public transport in my region. The greens in my state are also known to be a bit economically conservative compared to other states, so I'd try to shift those policies to the left with my votes.
