As someone who’s lived there for six years (albeit mostly homeless); yes.

Even if you’re trying to speak French, you’ll get treated like you’re speaking Swahili or something.

Bottle of water. Wash with hand.

My dude, with a tital and description like that, you should’ve seen the innuendo coming from all the way in Proxima Centauri.

Can Linux mobile OSs install apk apps?

Got a Wooting keyboard. Comes with a Linux app. Pretty good keyboard. Can’t complain.

The same can be applied to all artistic mediums. But it’s arguably used most for generating text and images.

Firstly, it’s not art. I already hate that OP called it that. It’s AI generated imagery. There is no art involved outside of art theft.

Secondly, it’s legal art theft created by those types of people that either never considered artists to have any value, or have a chip on their shoulder against artists.

Thirdly, at no point in history have artists ever been appreciated, despite art being the most important element of everything. Imagine right now what a user interface would look like without artistic design. Or a car. Or your toothbrush. AI gen shafts artists… again… with the absolutely ridiculously, flippant argument that it “democratises art”, as if it’s some sort of noble privilege rather than a skill literally anyone can practice.

Good. Finally. It’s about time.

Can I download and run it on my computer without using Internet?

Saudi Arabia? I remember about 10 or so years ago that Saudi Arabia had banned Pokemon because “it promotes materialism”.

What changed?

Repair > replace.

It’s not just about how much money it costs.

But that is a healthy way. I got some real good reaction memes, and they work well in place of the kind of reactions I would have if I were in the same room as someone.

See, written conversations tend to lack the body and facial language interactions that comes with talking to a person in the same room. A good reaction meme is a substitute.

Unfortunately Organic Maps doesn’t really work well. I gave it a shot yesterday at work (I work food delivery on bicycle), and it couldn’t find half the addresses I needed to go to.

Same here in Europe.

This is highly irregular for several reasons:

Google adheres to official government positions, yes, but as far as I’m aware the American government hasn’t made the name change official yet. Members of the government have said that they’d do this, but I don’t think this idea has passed any process yet. So then why is Google “updated” their maps?

When Google adheres to official government positions, they are local. In example, when you’re in China and look up Taiwan, it’ll appear as part of China. In other countries it’ll appear as either an independent country or a disputed territory, depending on that government’s official position on the matter. What we DON’T see is something like “Taiwan (China)”, as Google supposedly has no intention on forcing the policies of one government upon another government, and as far as I’m aware the rest of the world hasn’t agreed to changing The Gulf of Mexico to The Gulf of America.

The sun? The sun!? I guess your teacher didn’t know about Aldebaran, the size of galaxies… Supermassive black holes… Galactic filaments… And yes, the universe itself.

They either had rich parents with rich connections, or had incredibly loyal, highly skilled friends, like Jobs had Wozniak.

“Made you” fail last year? Quite the wording…

My mom believes this one (she believes in a lot of crap…). Allegedly there was a dude who made a car run om water, but the evil oil company Shell bought the idea so that it would never come out!

That is of course ignoring the fact that the supposed guy wouid still have knowledge on how to build one.

Or… The simple fact that water can’t be used as a fuel like that.

Oh yeah, my parents certainly believe Stargate is created by artists trying casually reveal “the truth”, not in a literal sense, but one that is very open to interpretation. Somehow (and especially to my mom) if some artist, like a singer or a writer, creates something that is adjacent to her beliefs she’ll feel validated about them.

The tech being drip-fed into the public is also one, connected directly to the one where “the military” has super advanced technology.

And same with water. My parents already believe in homeopathy, and everything that comes with it. So water has a special “memory” that can somehow be imprinted and change its properties. Same goes with influencing water with sound or light.

And of course, they have INSANE distrust for doctors. Or literally anyone in a professional position. I think, with their beliefs, if you’re in a professional position you’re part of the system that hides and lies to the population, a mandate of “them” in control, to keep everyone stupid and complacent. So anyone in a professional position is an enemy, a malicious entity out to get you.

Yeah, I remember when my step dad has a period he believed this. He would find ways to tune music back to how it’s “supposed” to sound. Everything sounded horribly out of tune, but he’d just say it’s because we’ve all become so used to listening to music the “bad” way.
