There was a spot close to where i lived close to a kindergarten - it was a driveway for emergency vehicles, crossing over the sidewalk and closed off. Every fucking day for 2 hours in the morning and intermittent during the afternoon you had to dodge illegally parked cars there, most of the time not even leaving enough space for a wheelchair or a baby stroller while they dropped their own kids off.
There were perfectly fine legal parking spaces a few meters down the road.
It was more than “mildly infuriating”, because it speaks of either a lack of self-awareness or a “fuck you, got mine"-mentality.

There are also people who have limited mobility. If it’s 2 street corners away, whats keeping the driver which gets paid from making the delivery instead of fucking off to the other end of town?

Wanted to say exactly that. The EU Commission is seemingly actively pushing against everything common sense EU citizens are for, while the EU parliament is busy rejecting the BS coming from the Commission.

Fuck the Eu Commission. They are traitors to everything the EU stands for.

I’d prefer the emperor not to wrap around my dick if engaging with sexy eldar, they have for sure other ways to prevent heretical offspring that don’t involve thousand year old near-corpses lol
- Comment on I still can't get over Skyrim. Are there any games that can replace it? 1 week ago:
I just tried to imagine what happens with their engine if you try to add the rest of Tamriel, running thousands of buggy scripts and systems at the same time. My mental simulation concluded with the result that it would be very funny, but probably not playable.

Sadly, it’s been shown that in general, cognitive performance takes a nosedive after hour 8 of mentally straining work. Of course not everyone is the same, but the long hours especially in the medical field (where everyone involved should know better) should be reduced and allow for a level of rest appropriate to the potential cost of mistakes.

Because on a vocal minority (which is right in most cases when referring to non-local LLMs) and a large majority of people who use AI without thinking about it, just liking the nice sycophantic chatbot without having to pay the real cost yet. A lot of money is invested to make sure the sheep stay silent.

doesn’t make sense to single out any user over there, they are all bootlickers for the kinds of Putin and Xi. Funnily enough, this would make them prime MAGA material too lol

Hungary has taken some big positive steps lately, which made me very happy for my european neighbors! It’s not all doom and gloom. Armenia also kept their distance from the russians, much to my delight.

lemmygrad.ml is not federated with many, many other instances exactly because of their authoritarian BS, including dbzer0.com. you might need to log out and visit lemmygrad.ml directly.

just have a look at genzedong@lemmygrad.ml but put your tinfoil hat on before to prevent potential brain damage
- Comment on Guerrilla plantfare 2 weeks ago:
For everyone who wants to know why it’s endangered: Because of a fungus that originally grew on the japanese chestnut variant (starting in the early 1900s), to which the american chestnut has no resistance - it is estimated that in in first half of that century, three to four billion tree died to that fungus. In the original geographic range of the American chestnut, only 4 mature trees remain. There are still some root systems that sprout saplings, but they get killed off by the fungus quickly. There are some enclaves in other areas that still have a few hundred, like in northern Michigan

- Comment on Valve hikes Steam Deck prices by more than 40%, blaming rising costs 3 weeks ago:
i didn’t need a heat gun to get it out - i used the heating thingy iFixit offers which you put in the microwave and then just lay it on the battery. Even tho iFixit says that this might not be enough, it was enough to loosen it, but it took a while and 2 reheatings of the pad.
- Comment on Valve hikes Steam Deck prices by more than 40%, blaming rising costs 3 weeks ago:
My Battery is still at 98%, but i use it mostly plugged in, so the battery has not seen many charge/discharge cycles yet. If the battery is going bad, i would recomment just going to iFixit and order a new one - the replacement really isn’t hard to do.
I had to replace the display and even that wasn’t really hard even when you have to take the thing apart down to the last screw when doing that.

I have the LCD Deck, but tbh i’m fine with that. I plays the same games, and i have good power banks to get me over the day if needed even with the lower runtime (one of my power banks even has a solar cell integrated - it makes it bulkier, but it’s free extra charge!)

I don’t know man, but my instincts of repairing pcs for the last 30 years tell me its either a graphics driver issue, a graphics card issue, or an issue with the PSU - that’s where i would start looking

Me and my siblings called our parents by their nicknames, which led to some confusion - my little sister told someone “I don’t have a mommy, i only have a <name>”.

- Comment on Ecosia has Planted 250 MILLION Trees 1 month ago:
Yeah, even if a tree just dies after a while, there will still some biomass (and therefore carbon) get sequestered into the ground, therefore permanently removed from the atmosphere, which is more effective than our own carbon sequestering efforts by… infinity percent, iirc.

I just want to add: claiming a dubious disability sounds like a mental health issue, or she really has that disability. In both cases, something is wrong with her. I’m on disability, and have real issues keeping my life in order, but if you just saw me on the street, you wouldn’t actually recognize something is wrong.
- Comment on Anon sacrifices for the family 1 month ago:
This acronym was not selfchosen, it’s mainly used in work statistics by the state, and the reasons to fall into that group are very diverse. Mental Illness, physical illness, having to care for family members, bad economy, no available jobs that would pay the bills in rural areas and so on. The amount of people living this way out of their own choice is pretty limited. It’s the same faulty way to think about this like it is done about homeless people and illegal immigrants, and it only makes it harder for them to change their situation.

- Comment on Gamer's Nexus has been Blacklisted by AMD 1 month ago:
I’ve been buying PC parts for my gaming hobby for the last 30 years now. I will not buy any part that is supplied by any of the big companies or the RAM cartel if it’s not an emergency replacement and i cannot source it on the second hand market, until they all get back to servicing the normal people at normal people prices. This insanity has to end at some point, and if not, they will never make a cent from me again.
