Leider hilft eine Verteuerung der Schokolade nicht denen, die die Kakaobohnen ernten.

You Americans with your imperial system. 9:77 o'clock is 10:17 in metric. /s
No matter where an election is coming up - people tend to vote against their interests. This meme popped up in my head when I read this thread:
You might be right. Take a look at the save icon in Blender.
"I'm sorry that you..."
... feel offended by my point of view.
The more popular photos of the Hollywood sign are taken from an angle where you don't see the house in the background:
I think this is because it is pretty boring to film a computer in action, because it does noting - it doesn't move for example. So beeping sounds were added for every action a computer would do: opening or closing windows, transferring files to a disk, calculating,...
These sounds were added at a time computers were not that common in every household and to emphazise that the computer is doing something. In recent movies, computers are more silent.
Another thing film makers did to show interaction with a computer is the constant usage of the keyboard. Every thing is done with the keyboard. Open a window: type 5 sceonds on the keyboard. Transferring a file onto a disk: type the whole bible on the keyboard. This was done because it would be pretty boring to show someone use the mouse or drag-and-drop files.
It its somehow compareable to the movie trope of constantly reloading a gun. You can see this often in older movies: the protagonist is going inside a building and he is reloading his gun. Then he stops a the corner of a hallway and is reloading the gun again - despite no shot has been fired. This was also done to show the audience that a gun will be involved.
Never been a Twitter - or "X" - user, but:
Isn't it the whole point to show everyone your blue check mark that you have been approved or something like that? How else would one know that you are the real deal?
I'm sure these implants will give much needed ease to patients who suffer frem tremors like parkinson and other neurological diseases. But the things I'm mostly concerned about are:
On first glance it seems that this worm was brought back to life with scientific intervention exclusively. But with the disappearence of permafrost these worms will thaw on their own and will resume living and procreating. What I want to say is, that many species of these ice-aged worms may be alive already without anyone noticing, trough permafrost has been thawed away. Who knows what impact these worms will have on our recent fauna and flora?
The car as a device to transport one from A to B has been developed to completion. Any car is capable of fulfilling that task. The next stange of developement is that the comfort features in cars are being replaced with a universal control unit: a touchscreen (-computer).
All physical buttons (air condition, radio, etc.) are being phased out and are accessible over the central touchscreen, hidden in menus. This way it is easier to get customers into subscribed services (e.g. for the ability to lock your car remotely or to use the heated seat feature you have to subsribe to this particular service in order to use it).
Also, when features are controlled over a software interface like those touchscreens instead of physical buttons, it it easier to give access to users - or restrict them from it:
IIRC at the beginning of the war in Ukraine, Tesla remotely enabled their cars by allowing free supercharging as a helpful measure to help people to escape from Ukraine. Pretty nice of Tesla, isn't it? Well yes, in this particular case, but this kind of remote software interference from the manufactor can also work in the other direction. They can easily restrict the functionality of your car. Functions your car still would have if they weren't controlled remotely.
Cars become a Software-As-A-Service product.
Edit: spelling
Die CDU glaubt halt, dass man mit ähnlich radikalen Positionen (in diesem Fall die drei Punkte sogar deckungsgleich), wie sie die AfD vertritt, Wähler, die nun die AfD wählen oder wählen würden, zurückzugewinnen.
Viele Wähler, die mit den Positionen der AfD liebäugeln, sei es aus Unwissenheit (Programm nicht gelesen/verstanden) oder absichtlich ("die sitzen uns auf der Tasche und nehmen uns gleichzeitig die Arbeit weg") bekommt man nur wieder eingefangen, in dem man an anderen Stellschrauben dreht:
Viele Dinge, die jemanden dazu bewegen, solchen Parteien wie der AfD hinterherzulaufen, haben als Ursache, dass das Einkommen nicht mehr zum Leben reicht. Und dann wird sich nicht über "die da oben" (also, denen, den es besser geht), geärgert, sondern es wird festgestellt, dass "die da untern" (also, denen, den es schlechter geht) ja Geld fürs Nichtstun kriegen und sich hier aushalten lassen.
Wenn jemand mit seinem Einkommen gut auskommt, dann kann es ja egal sein, ob man jetzt noch ein paar Asyl-Suchende aufnimmt oder noch einen Arno Dübel mit durchfüttert.
