Crows are self-aware just like humans

“Oh no, is my plumage too dark? Were the other crows laughing with me or at me? Is my crowing too high pitched? Was that raven offended when I mistook him for a crow?”

Catholics and Christians

The Orthodox:

I have been job hunting for a while and I have felt a great disadvantage in my job search due to my lack of access to high-quality LLMs. Writing cover letters is honestly so bullshit.

Has job hunting gotten so bad that it’s just LLMs reading the output of other LLMs?

Well yeah, why wouldn’t China block a site full of libs?

Promoting colorism in a lesson about software that can be used to edit colors is… A strategy.

Idk maybe I just need to go meet more Indian people but none of the Indian people I’ve met to date look anything like Ronit and Sirahi here.

India has too many languages and cannot agree on one in common, which is why English is a “neutral” compromise. I understand that making Hindi the national language is a common Hindu Nationalist point.

I’ve been eyeing Yuzu to play games like Pokemon Scarlet and Xenoblade 3 since they both run like shit on the switch and a smooth 60 fps at 4k on Yuzu.

I bought both games at release, I just can’t stand playing at 20 fps.

Welp, guess I’m downloading a copy of yuzu just in case.

When will people learn that the safest place to develop a Nintendo emulator is Pyongyang?

I sometimes wonder how much Pixel hype is just inertia from when other manufacturers had terrible skins and Pixel was the only way for most to get a stock android experience.

Nowadays third party software has come a long way and from what I can see the pixel’s main selling point is it’s cameras.

The problem with “niche” phones like small phones, phones with headphone jacks, phones with keyboards, etc is that most of the people who claim they want one end up not buying one because of such and such feature being missing or so and so phone being better.

Asus and Sony have been making smaller phones for years but they’ve never achieved any sort of success. Iirc Sony makes a small phone with a headphone jack, which should be flying off shelves if these types of threads are to be believed.

The excuse is always “well Asus and Sony” have relatively little retail presence. Sure, that’d true, but any startup niche phone seller would be doing very well to have an Asus or Sony level distribution and retail network in the first couple of generations. And that’s setting aside Apple being omnipresent in retail and yet still failing to sell enough small phones.

If someone was preparing food for you, would you be satisfied if you saw them go to the toilet and then just wipe their hands with a piece of paper instead of washing their hands?

This is how you get flat earthers.

I think this is common to most languages: English speakers lecturing native speakers about how they’re grammatically incorrect based on some rule printed in an entry-level language textbook.

I once saw a white dude confidently assert to a Japanese person that 全然 could not be used in the positive and only in the negative. Dude wouldn’t even back down after the Japanese speaker got out their phone and showed him a famous 12th century (or something) poem that used 全然 in the affirmative. That’s like trying to correct someone’s grammar and then getting shut down by Shakespeare.

My old desktop seemed to have something wrong with its LAN port and the troubleshooter fixed it pretty consistently.

Not only that, but Gaza is also very densly populated. They’re some 2.5 million people over 365km squared.

So weird that Palestinians would choose to live like this without the influence of any other party. They even built a huge wall around themselves to keep other people out.

We paid them slave wages to make things for us but they didn’t play fair and learned how to make things for themselves

The world:

Or it’s actually just some benign thing because you haven’t posted any evidence which says that the .gsX files are even malicious or caused by Chinese apps. I’ve been googling for it and haven’t found any serious documentation about it. A reddit post linking it with Hotels.com (American company, lmao) and an LTT thread linking it to Ladaza (a Filipino app). In the absence of more and better proof, I’m not even convinced that it’s an exploit.

And again. You claimed that ALL Chinese apps ask for IMEI permissions. No proof of that either. It’s all just made up horse shit to justify your vibes based racism about how Chinese people can’t code.

Regarding health coverage, it definitely depends on the employer, if you are unemployed and didn’t pay the optional premium, you won’t be cured as well. In other capitalist European countries you would be cured the same way for free no matter if you are homeless, unemployed or a billionaire. I lived several months in Beijing and I never saw an ambulance on the streets. Asked around, I always got the same response “ambulance too expensive, we go hospital by taxi”. Seems weird that a “communist” country doesn’t share resources with the comrades.

None of this is consistent with the link I provided so it’s your word and anecdote against the professionally prepared page and its supporting citations.
