Hijo de la Luna - Mecano

Despair, in Am I the only one getting agitated by the word AI?
@Despair@lemmy.world avatar

A lot of the comments I’ve seen promoting AI sound very similar to ones made around the time GME was relevant or cryptocurrency. Often, the conversations sounded very artificial and the person just ends up repeating buzzwords/echo chamber instead of actually demonstrating that they have an understanding of what the technology is or its limitations.

shinigamiookamiryuu, in What are you drinking tonight, and is it what you really want to be drinking?

Hot vanilla. You know, like hot chocolate but it’s vanilla. Not a fan, but every other drink on hand were cold drinks, and I craved something warm.

vodkasolution, in What are you drinking tonight, and is it what you really want to be drinking?

Sbagliato (1/2 prosecco, 1/4 red vermouth, 1/4 campari)

linearchaos, in How are you all making it right now with grocery store prices?
@linearchaos@lemmy.world avatar

I still have 50 lb of COVID rice in my pantry.

I’ve been slipping over to Aldi or Costco for produce. Sure I have to buy more at Costco, but the price is there are still lower per pound than they were at my grocery store before inflation.

I make a lot of stuff from scratch I don’t rely on a lot of mixes. The price of bulk flour and the price of bulk rice hasn’t gone up nearly as much as Purdue chicken breast.

grue, (edited ) in What songs do you like that are in a language which you don't speak?

Stromae - Papaoutai (I found out it existed because Pentatonix did a cover of it)

That guy’s also got some other interesting songs, with quite a bit of social commentary: carmen, Fils de joie, tous les mêmes, Santé

MigratingtoLemmy,

I suppose it’s time to learn French

grue,

J’apprends la français depuis trois ans. (Mais pas a cause de la chanson.)

moxkobold,

I also really like Alors on Danse from Stromae

pastermil, in What songs do you like that are in a language which you don't speak?

Nier Replicant & Nier Automata soundtracks

All in chaos language (a.k.a. pure gibberish).

StineD,

Have you listened to Hanezeve Caradhina from Made in Abyss? youtube.com/watch?v=sFzDQ2OjFko

The anime is really dark, but have some bright and hopeful moments which this song captures so well.

Caesium,

yes, I am obsessed with songs with non-language lyrics! I know of four sources (including Nier) that does it and I just love it

pastermil,

Is Cult of the Lamb soundtrack in that list?

Caesium,

I haven’t, actually! looks like I’ll need to give it a listen

grue,

Adriano Celentano - Prisencolinensinainciusol

From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisencolinensinainciusol:

Both the name of the song and its lyrics are gibberish but are intended to sound like English in an American accent.

Celentano’s intention with the song was not to create a humorous novelty song but to explore communication barriers. The intent was to demonstrate how English sounds to people who do not understand the language proficiently.

PrincessLeiasCat, (edited ) in What songs do you like that are in a language which you don't speak?

Kind of a joke but the song is catchy.

Salsa Tequila

The guy is a Norwegian comedian I think & he bet his friends that he could get a dumb song into the Billboard top 10 or something. I believe he succeeded in a few European countries.

The song is absolutely ridiculous considering he doesn’t speak Spanish, but it’s just a funny story.

AlfredEinstein, in How do I stop a crush from developing further?

You and your dance instructor should hang out and take molly together.

intensely_human, in What are the best steps to reduce the wealth of billionaires?

Focus on making the poor people richer instead. Then you’ll realize things are going pretty good.

jaek,

Hard to make the poor people richer when the rich are taking an increasingly large share of the pie.

intensely_human,

Actually with the wonders of math it’s not. Because if the pie gets bigger faster than their portion increases, we all win.

And, as it turns out, the poorest people in the world are indeed getting richer.

Urist,
@Urist@lemmy.ml avatar

Resources are ultimately finite, regardless of method of extraction. The poor people would get richer faster with better distribution and research supports basic reasoning that the pie would get bigger if distribution was better.

intensely_human,

Not sure which resources you’re referring to that would be at their limit such that poor people can’t get any richer.

Also no, all the times the economic system has been built around optimizing distribution, production has dropped to almost zero. Under redistribution schemes, the poor tend to die horribly.

Urist,
@Urist@lemmy.ml avatar

I reiterate: All resources are ultimately finite. There is however more than enough for all if extracted sustainably and shared somewhat equally. Under redistribution schemes, the poor stop being poor because having basic needs met increases social mobility. Also production increases because it is in many cases artificially restricted due to the consumers being too poor to buy the things they want and/or need.

LemmyKnowsBest,

Money is infinite though. The wealthy people know how to tap into all the manipulative ways of increasing their own wealth. What we need is education for everyone to know how to do this. But of course a problem with that is that if everyone is wealthy, no one is wealthy because wealth doesn’t exist without something to contrast it with, which are the poor financially-illiterate people who do all the hard labor which generates wealth for their CEOs. Which is why the wealthy people don’t want to educate poor people on financial literacy.

wiccan2, in Have you ever seen coal burn? If yes, why?

Used to have a coal fire when I was growing up in the 90s, rural Wales, was able to heat our water too.

Nothing beats a baked potato cooked under a coal fire.

Contramuffin, in Nerds, I need ideas for my college project that should resemble the below GitHub project - Event Planner.

Pro tip: if you want to ask for help, it’s not a good idea to disparage the people who are supposed to help you immediately before you ask for help

anon6789, in Liftoff alternative
@anon6789@lemmy.world avatar

I went from Liftoff to a few others, but I’m really feeling at home in Summit.

It’s pretty good as is and the dev is very responsive and updates fairly often with improvements and keeps an ongoing roadmap of future updates.

Connect was good and better looking then Liftoff or Summit, but I post every day and make some really long posts, and Summit just has awesome features and a pretty good workflow for that.

Boost has finally fixed its post UI to be useful. I used this for Reddit, so I originally started on Liftoff for Lemmy since I expected it to be a Boost copycat.

Sync was ok but not for me.

Landscape works in Summit, and I run in Dark Mode. Says it supports multiple accounts, but I haven’t tried, I spend all my time on one instance anymore.

Had a ton of settings and everything is pretty customizable. I’m very happy here after 5 months on Liftoff.

@TheInsane42@lemmy.world avatar

I’m currently trying Summit and it looks very familliar. Testing it.

GroundedGator, in How do Hue Bulbs do millions of different colors, what sorcery is this?

Magic smoke.

Can’t convince me otherwise. Anyone that disagrees is a dirty communist.

ook_the_librarian,
@ook_the_librarian@lemmy.world avatar

I hate when the magic smokes leaks out. Never works right again.
