Damn. I'm much more of a craft beer person, but this is sad. Is just marking it down not an option?

Edit: Oh, never mind. They want to stop prices collapsing. Yeah, sounds like France. Forever bailing out their farmers 🙄

I hate that these articles are always couched in excusatory language like, "While motivated by a legitimate concern..."

These people are not your friends, they're your enemies. Don't accept their frame in the argument.

Its full of evangelical Christians. That and Anglo-Saxon culture even minus the evangelical Christians is very squeamish around sex. Just look at the different attitude towards talking to kids about sex that you find in the UK and on the Continent, even the Germanic countries tend to be a lot more open about this stuff than the UK.

Didn't swiftpad or whatever its called send every key pressed to Microsoft?

Not a China shill. China is horrible. Microsoft less so as they don't commit genocide in slow motion. But still, I think this sort of thing is more common than we think.

Use FOSS.

Stupid llama (lemmy.world)

Just why. This was like the third time it reminded me that I shouldn't have the phone I have.

I really don't understand the public desire to make these AIs like this.

"Curly" apostrophe (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I was wondering if anyone here knew how to create a "curly" apostrophe in LaTeX without having to type out the unicode character for it. I know that the csquotes package is an option, but this only appears to allow making curly single and double quote pairs. I don't want quotes. I want a curly, single apostrophe.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ew. This sounds like massive public investment in space for massive private profits in space.

Ooh a lot of people here seem very pro-nuclear-power. That's cool!

No. They'll need to fill out a form online before they go. Europe is only requiring this because the US has forced similar bullshit on Europeans for years cos "terrorism".

This is sort of off topic but the constraints credit card companies put on porn is ridiculous. Cannabis, sadly, is illegal federally. Porn is legal everywhere in the country.

I'd very much support legislation that required payment processors to not discriminate against any firm provided the business transaction is legal.

Why the quotes? It looks much better.

Sick pepper plant (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Do any of you fine people know what might be going on here? Leaves are falling like crazy and the frankly looks sick. The plant did have aphids for a bit but that is taken care of now. The problem began before I noticed the aphids and has continued now that they are gone. I fear the poor thing may be dying.

Sorry if the image orientation is off. I couldn't seem to get lemmy to recognize which side was up...
