I’d create an actual god with morals of absolute good that rules over humans with an iron fist. Political debates? There’s an objective answer and the god knows it. Do something wrong? Get warned. Do something very wrong? It’s brainwash time.

If it consoles you, I can explain the reason for that one.
They both come from the verb restaurer (to restore). Restaurant being the present participle in this case. In French, “ant” is equivalent to the English suffix “ing”.
And restaurateur is “one who restores”.
I meant English dialects.
I dunno if it’s the weirdest but “pronunciation” is pretty weird.
Why is it “pronUnciation” but “pronOUnce”?
Is this universal or are there places where they pronounce it closer to its spelling?
I like to imagine that it’s not jars of peanut butter. Just raw peanut butter, sloshing around when it’s warm.
Wow that’s a 404 for me. Looks like maybe the lemmy.world instance has made that choice for me.
Thank god I’m protected! I would have to create a new account on another instance to lose that protection, which is, uh, good, because…
Anyway I forgot what I was saying.
Pretty cool that the price premium is only that! That’s more or less what you pay for regular free-range eggs, isn’t it?
How would you tackle that? Unless you build a really intelligent system that’s allowed to interpret and reword and understand the significance (or lack thereof) of emojis in context, it sounds tough. Like, generally speaking, you just wouldn’t be able to tell how important an emoji is to the message, when writing an algorithm.
You know, it’s not always, but apple does sell things that are price-competitive with similarly performing competing products.
Some iterations of the Mac Mini have been hard to beat with a tiny PC with similar performance.
The M1 MacBooks had some surprisingly cheap options for the relatively premium laptops they were.
Samsung’s Ultra phones tend to cost more or less the same as the Apple Pro Max phones.
The main difference is sometimes just that Apple doesn’t make low-end or low-mid-range, or sometimes not even anything below “relatively high-end”, products in a particular category.
They have alcohol at airports? That’s so weird.
There can be a lot of reasons for that, but too much internet wouldn’t be my first idea. Histrionic tendencies, autism spectrum disorders, anxiety, etc.
It feels very weird to say but
I think maybe
the world was better when Trident existed??
It’s possible. But it’s a huge undertaking. If you just wanted to fully understand all of the specifications for HTTP, JavaScript and CSS, it’d take you days before having written a single line of code.
Then you need to write all that in a performant way.
Then you need to keep up with all the new features.
Then you need to keep up with all the new security threats.
Browsers nowadays are practically little operating systems. So the question is not that far off from asking what prevents you from writing an alternative to Windows.
You can. But it’ll cost millions, or maybe billions, to build something good.
That’s pretty impressive. I hadn’t even thought oral treatments were possible!
It’s amazing.
Well that’s what I get for not checking my info!
Thanks for the correction.
Oh that probably helps!
I do have a few issues with it:
They got paranoid about nuclear and closed down all their nuclear plants. They intensified fossil fuel power production because they didn’t have enough renewable power. Then prices went up due to the war end they had an oh shit moment.
That might be good. With text to speech getting as good as it’s getting, it’s probably getting in the realistic territory, too.
