Is that more of a ‘big expensive city’ thing or is $65k generally considered low in the US? I’m not from there so I am trying to put that into perspective

Walter Masterson makes similar content sometimes which I’ve been enjoying instead. His channel is a lot more opinionated overall though, and he makes better use of the political platform imo.

This isn’t about responsibility, it’s about preventing suffering. If you could prevent a genocidal leader from being born, which you knew would save hundreds of thousands of innocent lives, why wouldn’t you? Because it’s that person’s “responsibility” that all of those innocent people died after all?

I’m mostly just glad to be in a country where it is more socially acceptable to be direct. I would be a bit more formal than the original email, but the rewritten version seems really watered down and tip-toed in comparison.

I think that is changing through ChatGPT and the likes though, even it’s non-English output has a distinct American tone to it that I’m starting to see more in professional emails. I have seen too many literal translations of “I hope this message finds you well” already, it’s kinda ridiculous

It’s great for racing games where you have gradual steering but also quicker response times than with a controller

I usually like this creator, but he conflated multiple unrelated issues in the video and also made too much of a point out of his own experience of not knowing what to do. This isn’t really a video on vision pro as it is on various aspects of the modern internet

TIL it’s entitled to ask that software you use is either compliant with the law or clearly lets you know that it isn’t, especially when the developers have no idea what the law is

I’ll throw in Griddle, where you have to find high-scoring words on a grid

Yeah, but even that is stretching it for a work email unless there is a concrete reason you’d be concerned, like you know they’re dealing with stuff. Otherwise – at least in my northern German circles – that’s already getting pretty personal

Yeah I mean you can translate it literally, but it means nothing. The English equivalent of what it communicates in German would be more like “I hope this email gets delivered to you.” which is just a weird thing to say.

As a native German speaker I agree that ChatGPT is very English-flavored. I think it’s just because the sheer amount of English training data is so much larger that the patterns it learned from that bleed over into other languages. Traditional machine translations are also often pretty obvious in German, but they are more fundamentally wrong in a way that ChatGPT isn’t.

It’s also somewhat cultural. The output you get from ChatGPT often sounds overly verbose and downright ass-kissing in German, even though I know I wouldn’t get that impression from the same output in English, simply because the way you communicate in professional environments is vastly different. (There is no German equivalent to “I hope this email finds you well”, for example.)

Well that’s also quite reductionist.

Not really? It’s a programming class with automated assignment submissions and grading, I don’t see a lot of overlap with Lemmy’s feature set for the kind of thing I’m doing.

As an educator who has only ever worked with Moodle,
I agree that Canvas has better UX. I can’t imagine another platform being as terrible to use in 2023 as Moodle lmao

My legs, the shower is small and I am tall so it’s a lot of work to actually soap them up properly. Usually I only bother maybe every second or third shower.

When any message with some contents is received - Right now this is limited to a list of contacts. I’d like to have a shortcut where someone could text me, “Where are you?” and it’ll just auto-send my location.

You can already do this! Just leave the Sender field on “Choose” and fill out the Message Contains field only.

How does she feel about the MacBook keyboard? I personally quite like it, now that they’re normal again, but especially for an aspiring writer I think that is a pretty significant criterium.

Well there’s a couple interesting answers here already. Time to save this post so I can “come back to it” (aka forget…)

I would have made the same mistake if they didn’t hit me with “VPN voting not allowed”. Not a very good first impression from this website…
