I'd go insane, knowing that the professor is wrong like that. In that situation, I'd had to tell the professor afterwards…
…okay? If you're alone with other people, you can tell them that you're fine with them being homophobic. But in a public space, you're not the only gay person, and just because it's okay for you doesn't mean it's okay for everyone, so you can't just say that it's okay.
Yeah. Even if it doesn't hurt you, you're not the only person existing. And it can hurt other people in the same minority, you don't just get to say that it's fine for everyone.
That's… not how any of this works. With that logic, any gay person can just say "yo, you can be homophobic, I consent".
Why do Trump supporters see someone else on a computer?
Not really? It's just a Disney movie, all characters are attractive. Nick Wilde is also made to be hot.
This is awesome. But one question as I'm not so familiar with emacs: Why do they punish someone when trying to use emacs but not vi? Why do you see emacs as something works?
Ich finde nicht, dass Podcasts viel mit Radio zu tun haben. Podcasts sind doch eher wie CDs oder Kassetten ein reines Audio-Medium bei dem man (nicht-live) Dinge hört. Radios stechen ja durch den Mix von Live-Nachrichten und abhängig vom Sender Musik, Moderation und/oder Wissen/Diskussionen hervor. Wenn man Podcasts als Radio angibt, kann man auch Spotify noch eher als Radio angeben.
I think part of the reason why it developed this way is because (at least historically) the group of Furries has often consisted of many outcasts / people who had few friends otherwise or have been bullied. And the assholes that originally bully people then of course take everything they like as a further occasion to bully or make fun of them.
Ich halte eine CDU-BSW-Koalition (leider?) gar nicht so unwahrscheinlich. Wirkt so, als würde die CDU eher mit denen als mit den Linken irgendwie kooperieren wollen.
were your political beliefs as concrete and nuanced when you were that age as they are today
…yeah. To be fair, I'm 22, but I've been in the board of a local political party for over 3 years now. You could maybe make that argument for 16, but honestly, even then I was at political demonstrations.
Wait what? How is Gates seen positively? Microsoft was the worst tech company under him and did so much awful stuff …
Their whole point is that they know that delivering this message (that the Google AI says only bad things about Firefox) is the intention of the image, but they don't believe that this is what the AI actually does for a neutral prompt without seeing the prompt themselves.
That's true for American "centrists", but not for some European centrists. Centrists here are often either conservatives that are pretty left relatively to their party or social democrats that are pretty right relatively to their party, meeting somewhere in the middle.
Well, that is the original definition how the terms first, second and third world originated. But in modern-day use, they mean something different.
Europapa got the 2. place in its semi-final
Europapa got 182 out of 216 possible points and scored the second place in the second semi-final. Only a bit less than Israel, this would have probably meant a top 5 placement in the finale.
Eurovision 2024 Grand Final Live Thread
Just like with the semi-finals, this is the live thread for the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2024. As there is (to my knowledge), no Lemmy equivalent to https://reddit-stream.com/, the best alternative is refreshing the website about once after each song. This should still be okay for now as this community is relatively small.

Joost Klein Thread | AVROTROS releases statement
As there are so many posts about this topic and it's getting a bit out of hand, I'll create one central place where we can talk about this stuff and share updates. If there are very big updates, I might create a new post as the new megathread but for now, please don't create new posts for updates but post them here as comments.
Latest news: AVROTROS (the Dutch broadcaster) released a statement. The full statement is in the comments but roughly, they state that against made agreements, Joost Klein was filmed directly after getting off the stage and getting to the greenroom. He indicated he didn't want to be filmed, but this was not respected, leading to a threatening movement from Joost towards the camera, but he did not touch the camera women. This was the whole incident leading to the investigation by EBU and police, according to them.
Joost Klein will not perform in the Jury Show
Dutch musician Joost Klein was barred from taking part in the Jury Show at the Eurovision Song Contest on Friday night as the result of an altercation that took place earlier in the day. The musician representing the Netherlands in the competition may still be allowed to take part in the Grand Final...
According to several news outlets, Joost Klein will not perform in the Jury show of the ESC for the Netherlands. It’s still open whether he will perform in the Grand Final or not.
A Dutch article additionally states that > Joost Klein is not allowed to participate in the jury show of the Eurovision Song Contest. The investigation into the incident that came out earlier on Friday has not yet been completed, AVROTROS reports. Klein does not miss out on any points: the professional jury assesses his performance in the second semi-final.

General Eurovision discussion thread
I think it makes sense to have a general discussion thread to build this community and for you to be able to interact more with each other and talk about stuff.
You can write about all kinds of Eurovision related things here: What are your current favorite songs? Which one grew on or off you recently? What are your staging suggestions? What are your rankings? What are your predictions? Have fun talking about the songs :D

3 Eurovision songs in my top 5 most listened songs of 2023
I am using last.fm to track what music I hear and they provide many detailed statistics to how much I listened, and it turned out that place 1, 2 and 4 of my most-listened songs in 2023 were Eurovision songs. (And the third place being by Måneskin is even ESC-related as well). I thought that's worth to be shared here :D
What ESC songs did you listen most to in this year? Have there been ESC songs in your most listened songs as well?
Back to the rules (+ trans rights!)
I noticed how there's no Spronkus Kronkus at 196 anymore at all, and since they were the original reason I discovered 196 back on Reddit, I thought it would be nice to get back to them and post them for once. :)

How to easily play Windows only games on macOS
I just found this community, and in case anyone here has a game they really like and really want to play, but sadly doesn't have a macOS port and is just Windows only, this might help.
The best option you have is wine-crossover. While the Wine website currently doesn't offer a macOS build, the main macOS Wine maintainer has published the Open Source version wine-crossover, which works amazingly well and can even translate Direct X, meaning that video games work with it.
Just use brew install --cask --no-quarantine gcenx/wine/wine-crossover to download it. It will then just be a regular program in your programs folder called Wine. And if you double-click on any .exe-files, it will open them with Wine, translate them in realtime and execute them.
Then you just need to download the Windows version of Steam, just open it (with Wine), download the Windows game, and voila, you can easily play it :D
This is e.g. how I played Will You Snail (which is a really great game, but sadly only available for Windows) on macOS without any problems.
This works with most games, and as I said, I personally often use Wine to play Windows only games (or even games whose macOS versions are 32bit, which my computer can't run anymore). However, if a game has too high graphic requirements for your computer to run, or does not work with Wine (which can happen with e.g. some games that use custom DRMs), then another alternative I know is Nvidia GeForce Now, a could streaming service which allows you to use your own bought games (e.g. on Steam) and play it on a remote computer. It is free to try, although you can only play an hour at a time with the free tier. I've used the free tier for years (I mostly played in the middle of the night, so there were no waiting queues), and I even often played games that had a macOS build (like Planet Coaster), but which were too large to fit on my disk space. So this is definitely something I can also recommend and it's a good way to play even the most demanding games without any graphical problems. The downsides are the limitations of the free tier (although the paid tier without queues or the one hour limit is also worth it you really use the service), and that you need at least a medium-well internet connection for it. Also, they sadly don't have the full Steam catalogue but just a very big selection of games.
So yeah, those are the tools I usually use to play games that don't have a macOS build on my macOS computer. I'm glad if this helps anybody else and have fun playing! :D
