I think you’re missing that the US federal government already owns a lot of land, so they don’t really need to seize any land if they want to do that.

I would only consider donating in the first place if it were not only free to access, but also licensed under a free license. I have donated to freely licensed projects before, but not to merely freely accessible websites.

Better than the blockade in Gaza and the apartheid system in the West Bank they’ve been living under for the last decades.

I don’t think it would be a model in terms of human rights, doesn’t make Israel’s actions any better.

Obviously similar to neighboring countries like Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan.

Hint: It is obvious you are trying to propagandize in favor of Israel. No, no possible answer to your question justifies anything Israel has been doing.

Depends heavily on which border, I think. I live in eastern Austria and don’t know any Czech, Slovak or Hungarian despite those countries being within an hour’s drive of where I live. For the most part I expect people in Austria to speak German, I don’t expect people even in border villages of Czechia, Slovakia or Hungary to speak German; if they do, that is a nice surprise.

Some years ago, in a border village in one of these countries, a child spoke to me in the local language; I tried speaking in German and English, but the child didn’t understand either, I could barely say “I don’t speak (your language)” in that language. Eventually I figured out he was trying to ask me how old I was, and I could show that on my fingers…

They have a Mastodon account, which is why I know about them, you might want to follow that.

Who is “we”? My understanding is LLMs are mostly being trained on a large amount of publicly available texts, including both reddit posts and research papers.

https://themarkup.org/ maybe? At least that is what they claim to be doing.

I think that used to be the case more than it is now. Linux now uses the same printing system (CUPS) as macOS, and macOS printing has to work or Apple’s customers would be unsatisfied.

It’s an obsolete and relatively obscure word that I think a lot of people don’t know - because if most people did know it, no one would ever have gotten into trouble for using it.

No one mentioned “niggardly” yet? What’s going on?

Yes, I learned English here in Austria and I remember classmates asking the teacher how to say “vorgestern” and “übermorgen” in English.

We didn’t learn the words “ereyesterday” and “overmorrow” that day, only “the day before yesterday” and “the day after tomorrow”. :(

Hm. I rarely buy ice cream in stores so I am not sure whether there is apple ice cream in stores here, but at ice cream parlors it is definitely reasonably common here.

Where do you live? Where I live (Austria), apple ice cream is maybe not 100% universally available at all ice cream vendors, but common enough that I have no problems getting it if I want to.

Pizza Hut doesn’t exist in my country, Domino’s does. I’ve eaten at both in other countries and prefer Pizza Hut, but I prefer independent pizza restaurants to either of them.

nah the next round number is 4096 what did you think https://xkcd.com/1000/

I recently switched to “new comments”. That ensures I get a healthy mix of new and old, and get to see as many different threads as I can.

no, we are posting to a community on lemmy.ml here, that link points to a community hosted on lemmy.world (as displayed on lemmy.ml)

idc because neither of those is my instance, I subscribe to communities regardless of what instance they’re hosted on

which Debian? Have you considered Debian testing or unstable?

I’m not sure I do, but one thing I haven’t seen mentioned here yet is consumer psychologists. I once read an argument that they could be improving people’s mental health, instead they are working on manipulating people into buying more.
