I could always use a custom agent, but the extra features in chatgpt are nice. Why does it have to act like a third rate lackey trying to get on their boss's good side?

Moin liebe Zuhausis,

da das aktuelle Banner die Startseite dieser Gemeinschaft nun schon seit einiger Zeit ziert, die 4000-Abonnenten-Marke noch etwas entfernt ist und es mir an Kreativität mangelt, rufe ich hiermit zum Gemeinschaftlichen Bannerwettbewerb (GeBaWe) auf.

Die Regeln sind wie folgt:

  • Du machst ein Banner

  • Ich hänge es auf

Die Maße sind 1175x350 (oder so). Aktuelles Banner als Vorlage:

Danke für eure Aufmerksamkeit

Usually I’d be making this post from my main account, cod, but for some reason I’ve tried posting multiple times today and it hasn’t let me, it keeps giving me an error. So here we go! Weekly post from a different account this week. Hopefully next week I can go back to my main again.

It is currently summer in India.

Are there any behavioural or infra modifications that would help handle the increased heat?
I have read about how white roofs would reduce heat absorption and energy needed for cooling
Are there other things like that? Especially ones that regular people can try? The other type(policy decision type) are ok too tho. Would be good to know them.

Also, are there any communities that would have discussions on such topics? Like a TIL or DIY community where people talked about general issues and solutions.
Is it this community?

Summary

Trump reportedly held up a digitally altered image of the hand of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man who was deported by the Trump administration, in an attempt to prove Garcia is a gang member.

Trump can be seen holding a printed-out photo... demonstrating that "MS-13" is tattooed across his knuckles.

"This is the hand of the man that the Democrats feel should be brought back," Trump posted. However, many have pointed out that the image appears photoshopped.

"MS-13 looks like it was typed on the photo." "Needing to have a photo doctored... is definitely something a psychopath would do."

Shameless self-plug here. I wrote a blog post to document my methodology after having some issues with publicly available examples of using Podman and traefik in a best-practices config. Hopefully this finds the one other person that was in my shoes and helps them out. Super happy for feedback if others care to share.

Die Genehmigung des milliardenschweren Finanzpakets von Union und SPD ist gerade durch den Bundesrat, da veröffentlicht der Bundesrechnungshof (BRH) einen Sonderbericht mit „Maßnahmen zur Stärkung der Einnahmebasis“. Dieser erklärt, an welchen Stellen der Staat noch strukturelle Defizite hat und zukünftig Geld einsparen könnte. Eines der Kernprobleme: Steuerbetrug.

Laut dem Bericht wird der Bundeshaushalt durch Steuerbetrug jährlich mit Verlusten in Milliardenhöhe belastet. Während der BRH deshalb eine Reform der Steuerbetrugsbekämpfung fordert, möchte die Koalition laut Sondierungspapier zunächst beim „großangelegte[n] Sozialleistungsmissbrauch, im Inland sowie durch im Ausland lebende[r] Menschen“ ansetzen.

So I’ve tried Mastodon, Pixelfed and didn’t like them. Mastodon is nice if you wanna ”tweet”, but that’s not for me. Pixelfed was dead.

I quit Meta because of tech bro fascism, and hated Twitter even before it was X because, let’s face it - nobody has ever changed their opinion on anything because of a Twitter conversation (I know I’m exaggerating, to get my point across). I was in Reddit for a few weeks, and the conversations there seem mostly friendly and constructive, but I decided I don’t want to have anything to do with social media corporations. Besides, I noticed I could scroll endlessly. And that’s not good for me.

Lemmy seems nice. There are still some topics I’m interested in that don’t have active communities, and I’m still learning on how to have my feed from multiple instances. But still, this is the way to go for me.

Against algorithms, against fascism, for free internet. Thanks for coming to my boring Ted talk and have a nice day.

Ok, Lemmy, let's play a game!

Post how many languages in which you can count to ten, including your native language. If you like, provide which languages. I'm going to make a guess; after you've replied, come back and open the spoiler. If I'm right: upvote; if I'm wrong: downvote!

My guess, and my answer...My guess is that it's more than the number of languages you speak, read, and/or write.

Do you feel cheated because I didn't pick a number? Vote how you want to, or don't vote! I'm just interested in the count.

I can count to ten in five languages, but I only speak two. I can read a third, and I once was able to converse in a fourth, but have long since lost that skill. I know only some pick-up/borrow words from the 5th, including counting to 10.

  1. My native language is English
  2. I lived in Germany for a couple of years; because I never took classes, I can't write in German, but I spoke fluently by the time I left.
  3. I studied French in college for three years; I can read French, but I've yet to meet a French person who can understand what I'm trying to say, and I have a hard time comprehending it.
  4. I taught myself Esperanto a couple of decades ago, and used to hang out in Esperanto chat rooms. I haven't kept up.
  5. I can count to ten in Japanese because I took Aikido classes for a decade or so, and my instructor counted out loud in Japanese, and the various movements are numbered.

I can almost count to ten in Spanish, because I grew up in mid-California and there was a lot of Spanish thrown around. But French interferes, and I start in Spanish and find myself switching to French in the middle, so I'm not sure I could really do it.

Bonus question: do you ever do your counting in a non-native language, just to make it more interesting?
