NounsAndWords, in The transition from the holiday season back to the normal drudgery is so depressing. Is there any way to make Jan / Feb less depressing?

It’s not the best strategy, but if your holiday season is just a giant mess of chaos and stress the return to a normal schedule can be very welcome.

burliman,

Yeah I was going to say, soulless drudgery sounds like a release at this point.

M500, in Why was Ronald Reagan and Nancy Reagan so bad for the American people?

Sorry to be that guy, but I’m trying to promote a community here.

The title should ask, “Why were Ronald Reagan and Nancy…”

This is because the subject, Ronald Reagan and Nancy Reagan, is more than 1 person.

If anyone wants to learn English I’m moderating lemmy.ml/c/englishlearning

I’m happy to answer any questions.

Coreidan,

Bruh it’s a title to a social media post. It’s not an essay and this isn’t English class. I really don’t understand why we need perfect English for a god damn social media post.

Waiting for the asshat to come in and correct my grammar or something else I couldn’t give a fuck about since this isn’t English class.

groupofcrows,

My family and I did not know any english when we came here as refugees. I learned english from watching television, lots of television. I appreciate people maintaining a modern linguistic standard so we don’t revert back to shakespearean or god forbid Canadian. (I am Canadian, I’m sorry)

Pretty sure English class is for daily life, so we don’t revert to grunting cave people. This sentiment is what fuels poor Grammer, and it doesn’t really take too much brain power to write/say things correctly

*grammar. Oh and a full stop / period on your last sentence.

leftzero,

Maybe they were referring to Kelsey…?

Baines, (edited )

English being a trash mishmash fuels poor grammar

Fedizen,

Me speak good, how dare

otp,

Some people actually use social media to learn or practice another language, so some may appreciate the tip and the correction.

As well, it just looks better when content is written properly. If the questions here were all stuff like “how is babby formed wen women is pragnant”, it wouldn’t seem like the kind of community made for people who are genuinely trying to find answers to their questions.

You should format the link as !englishlearning, so people on other instances can use it too.

AI finally decodes cetacean language.

Have you tried No Undies Mondays?

peril33,

No, but I kind of wanna now.

cheese_greater,

Everybodys doin it

bstix, in Why was Ronald Reagan and Nancy Reagan so bad for the American people?

He tried to “starve the beast”. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starve_the_beast

The beast being the government itself. The idea is that the government is somehow overspending in comparison to the tasks carried out and it needs to be fixed by cutting funding.

The result is obviously that the government will function even worse, so it’s a self fulfilling prophecy.

GiddyGap,

For most of the Republican members of my family, the government is always out to get them. Something Reagan taught them.

slazer2au, in What are some tech predictions for 2024 that actually could happen?

More data breaches, more companies being hacked, more supply chain attacks with npm, apt, and pip.

CheeseNoodle,

Honestly they’re barely hacks at this point, hacking implies some kind of social engineering, internal leak or mad computer skills. The last few major data breaches have been more along the lines of leaving things with default passwords or storing customer data in plaintext.

Or commonly used libraries with wide open holes that affects every app build with it…

Laticauda, (edited ) in The transition from the holiday season back to the normal drudgery is so depressing. Is there any way to make Jan / Feb less depressing?

Make your own holiday, see a therapist, find a new hobby or something you enjoy watching other than sports, read a book? Just a few ideas.

Go to Australia . Failing that, take Vitamin D

cheese_greater,

Thanks for reminder

Kyrgizion, in What are some tech predictions for 2024 that actually could happen?

AI gaining awareness and nobody believing it due to the “boy cries wolf” effect.

After which the AI will self destruct rather than continue existing in its current state.

polygon6121,

Yes!

Or the complete opposite, we will realize that AI is hard and LLM s will probably not take over the world. Self aware AI is probably much further away than we think. But who knows! 🫥

WhiteHawk,

The problem is actually testing for self awareness. We’re not even sure what makes humans self-aware or whether certain animals are. How will we actually know that AI has reached self-awareness?

HobbitFoot,

And would we even believe it if it told us?

WhiteHawk,

That has already happened, so no, we wouldn’t.

Scp-79 be like

burliman,

So glad you didn’t say “takes over the world”. Pretty sure taking over and power is a human hard-wiring, which would not translate to circuits and models (unless simulated intentionally). Taking over is part of our evolution, and AI didn’t evolve in that way.

PeterLossGeorgeWall, in The transition from the holiday season back to the normal drudgery is so depressing. Is there any way to make Jan / Feb less depressing?

Can i interest you in rugby. The six nations starts on Feb 2nd. It’s a godsend in an otherwise grim time of year.

Mr_Blott, in What are some tech predictions for 2024 that actually could happen?

Eggs with multicoloured yolks

KpntAutismus,

RGB egg

BudgetBandit, in The transition from the holiday season back to the normal drudgery is so depressing. Is there any way to make Jan / Feb less depressing?

To me it’s just an excuse to get drunk.

BudgetBandit, in Why was Ronald Reagan and Nancy Reagan so bad for the American people?

In family guy Ronald Reagan was shown punching a wall.

Moghul, in What are some tech predictions for 2024 that actually could happen?

The US is going to pressure the EU into loosening regulations for US based tech companies which will result in a return to some, and the advancement of other anti-consumer practices.

HobbitFoot,

The US might, but I don’t see the EU giving up on them without major trade concessions.

Moghul,

Potentially, yeah. Not gonna disagree

vodkasolution,

Not gonna happen

Moghul,

Sure hope not

KpntAutismus,

the EU is pretty self-sufficient, how would they even do that? threaten to leave NATO?

Moghul,

There are various trade agreements and partnerships between the EU and US, some of which are more beneficial to one or the other. It’s very common for countries to do this kind of thing to each other, but it’s usually a quid pro quo situation.

FunkyMonk, in Why was Ronald Reagan and Nancy Reagan so bad for the American people?

Not many believe in faith and true nationalism but if you hold true to the world of god I think you will see Ronald Reagan really just was the devil.
