What?

Britain for most of the 20th century wasn't even trying to home grow food any more, it came in canned from across the world as it's a lot easier to ration and stockpile food which lasts forever, hence the reputation for awful food... It's only comparatively recently that we've been rediscovering historical British food

If you can, put things on the walls - you can get cheap paintings from charity shops, posters etc

So you're caving to people who are trying to force their sociolinguistic ideas on the speakers of a different language?

It's not you that's being racist/ethnocentric/xenophobic/imperialist... If you were conversing in Spanish then sure, it'd be Estadounidense/Estados Unidos but in English it's American/America and to try and force either one to change would be cultural imperialism

Let's not pretend Guyana are as bad as Mexico, Nigeria and Kazakhstan though

LLMs have a very predictable and consistent approach to grammar, punctuation, style and general cadence which is easily identifiable when compared to human written content. It's kind of a watermark but it's one the creators are aware of and are seeking to remove. That means if you want to use LLMs as a writing aid of any sort and want it to read somewhat naturally, you'll have to either get it to generate bullet points and expand on them yourself, or get it to generate the content then rewrite it word for word in a style you'd write it in.

Wow I was certain it'd be United Utilities and Thames Water, but I guess it is a 3 member mismanagement shitshow club rather than 2

I just find the saving mechanism frustrating to use compared to vim's as an entry level user, and now as a mid-skilled user I dislike how featureless nano is - when I was first learning how to use the terminal I hated having to edit anything as I was pretty much force-fed nano with no alternative provided, but on finding vim and remembering literally 3 things (:w, :q and i) everything became so much easier, but I definitely do have an extra bitter taste left about not being told about something much easier to use which irked me when I saw someone preaching how amazing nano is

I also really don't get the hate for vim when remembering 3 things gives you as much/more functionality as nano and is a starting point for so much more functionality - intuitive doesn't mean featureless and don't try and pretend nano's shortcuts are the same as 99% of other editors (text or otherwise), in fact they're totally different, making it less intuitive

Yeah, like the others here I don't see it for German (just see !ich_iel@feddit.de, posts there go hard & into all feed pretty regularly) but I only really see German and English posts... I can't remember my filter settings, but I think I set them to allow all languages so that could be due to other languages being downvoted, the instance that I'm on or the biggest general use/non-specialised instances being English and German

Yeah agreed that while you're more than likely not gonna get sick from it unless you have an allergic reaction of some sort, it's still probably dusty as those things are a nightmare to clean and so not a pleasant lick

I hoped it'd be read as sarcasm

It's not a serious hatred, but most major/Western European nations (at least Germany, UK, Spain, Italy and probably France themselves) have at least a friendly rivalry with the French despite being on friendly terms either since 1945 or even longer, with France having been fairly positive for Europe since at least the 80s, so it's incredibly hard to justify that the "hatred" of them is rational

Although the Italians may have twisted it into a surprisingly valid case, just ask about how almost all famous French food is just Italian recipes with a French name and they will be incredibly convincing even if it may not be objective fact

Nah, I get spam for my personal website where I host projects etc and also use as a convenience domain... It's pretty clear that I don't actively want to be indexed (if they wanna do it then sure but I'm not sure what they're searching for) and yet they're still talking about how they can get me more sales for my... Open source tokeniser and instruction set I guess?
