Lufthansa and Air France might have some massive fines incoming.
Now to be fair, there is a massive difference between using the fancy "AI" autocomplete to fill out the rest of a line when writing a function or something. And actually generating music, voice acting, art, etc.
That's at least where I personally draw the line between proper generative content and not. Partly because the autocomplete is possible without any form of ML. Some of the suggestions are often of similar quality as ones I got in Dreamweaver over twenty years ago.
Wait, it doesn't appear to be the same within the EU.
Both the French and German EULA seems to say that if you alter a digital product, the digital product might be rendered unusable. Although my French and German is bad, so someone please double check.
Grid cities, specially when combined with tall buildings, also tend to create more pronounced microclimate issues and "heat islands".
San Fransico has a varied terrain and enviroment that cause microclimates on is own, but the grid layout means the temperature can change as much as 9F/5C from one block to the next.
Yeah, the amount of industrial machinery being controlled by ancient hardware would baffle a lot of people.
For a comparison people might relate to: There are ATMs running twenty year old versions of Windows XP.
Well they want to almost destroy America, that way the rich can buy up everything for cheap and become even more pwoerful. They're literally trying to recreate the situation that caused the rise of oligarchs in Russia.
And the idiots vote for it because they've been brainwashed by propaganda to think they'll be part of the elite once it's over.
Conceal Spell
Through sheer mental effort, you can simplify the incantations and gestures needed to spellcast, leaving them barely noticeable. If the next action you use is to Cast a Spell, the spell gains the subtle trait, hiding the shining runes, sparks of magic, and other manifestations that would usually give away your spellcasting. The trait hides only the spell’s spellcasting actions and manifestations, not its effects, so an observer might still see a ray streak out from you or see you vanish into thin air.
Silent Spell (Metamagic)
Benefit: A silent spell can be cast with no verbal components. Spells without verbal components are not affected. A silent spell uses up a spell slot one level higher than the spell's actual level.
Doesn't work for Bard spells, although they have a way to disguise theirs:
Melodious Spell
You subtly weave your spellcasting into a performance. If the next action you use is to Cast a Spell, the spell gains the subtle trait, hiding the shining runes, sparks of magic, and other manifestations that would usually give away your spellcasting. The trait hides only the spell’s spellcasting actions and manifestations, not its effects, so an observer might still see a ray streak out from you or see you vanish into thin air.
Yeah and we should be glad they're so dumb: It has a nice little "in your area" feature where you can see all the ones who signed up near you(no need to give them location data, you can specify the area and check several to hide your real one).
They of course made it so magas could show support. But in reality it's literally a perfect way to find local business to boycoytt that you might not otherwise know was supporting evil.
You posted a youtube short link on lemmy? Yeah, that's not going to go over well.
There's a lot of tech literate people here, and from my experience many of them dislike short-form video content with sound. Especially when its from Alphabet, Meta, etc.
They sabotaged themselves years ago by squashing popular votes with an algorithm, so a large amount of people don't realize the size of the site.
You can go look at recent popular tweets and see 200k reactions, meanwhile the top posts on reddit show 10-30k votes, despite having 2-50 times as many behind the scenes.
There is some C in the game as well:
It's 99% written in x86 assembler/machine code (yes, really!), with a small amount of C code used to interface to MS Windows and DirectX.

Not sure vampiric "law" cares about renters rights. And if it does, is it based on current laws in the country they are in, or the country of origin? And is it the origin of vampires themselves or just the vampire turned. And is it based on the time they were turned or modern laws?
Either way, in one instance I they bought it from the bank after missed mortage payments. So they weren't legally living there anyway but counted as last/current resident for the vampire since the bank isn't a person.
That's actually a plot point in at least one of the vampire shows. A vampire buys someones home from the bank, and they're free to enter despite the resident/occupants refusal.
A private company is selling cheap tablets to inmates to let them communicate with their family. They have to use "digital stamps" to send messages, 35 cents a piece and come in packs of 5, 10 or 20. Each stamp covers up to 20,000 characters or one single image.
They also sell songs, at $1.99 a piece, and some people have spent thousands over the years. That's also now just going away.
Then you get to the part about the new company. Who already has a system in Tennessee where inmates have to pay 3-5 cents per minute of tablet usage. Be that watching a movie they've bought or just typing a message.
Yeah, Quake 2 recommended a Pentium 133, and that was released two years earlier(the AMD equivalent was released only a year and a half before the game). It required a Pentium 90 which was three years old, but it didn't run smooth from what I remember.
That sort of requirement for a major component today would be considered self-sabotage for most non-vr pc games.
Which is how a country like Iceland is able to make more than the US despite having a total population of 400k people: They have tons of access to renewable energy through geothermal vents.
Norway makes around twice as much as the US with their 5.5m people, again because of renewables.
Try watching some traditional TV news that boomers and older watch, and you'll quickly realize that it's propaganda(doesn't even have to be a right leaning channel). Many of them are completely unaware of what is actually happening. Whenever there's a story about a school being bombed and children dying, the only thing they hear is terrorism this, terrorist that.
One of my neighbors in her sixties was shocked and acted like a serious crime had been committed when some kids wrote "Free Palestine" in chalk on the sidewalk. Because in her mind the kids were openly promoting terrorism, instead of trying to stop fellow children from dying.
Yeah, I was more referencing how cats basically showed up and were all "become more domestic, and we'll move in and keep you safer".
For reference, you can get from the center of town to the other side of the border in about an hour on a bike.
