Draghetta@lemmy.worldto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Chinese company busted showing off humanoid robots that actually have humans insideEnglish810·10 months agoNext one to tell me China is communist gets bitten.
This is pure western style VC AI technobro grift, well done China
Noooooo you forgot the (PBUH) when you mentioned Muhammad (PBUH), now I will have to kill you :( look what you made me do
Draghetta@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What's the rule for which 'national identity adjective' suffix to use?3·1 year agoThe German people, as a people, started as the unification of the Germanic tribes. The unified tribe called itself the tribe of all men, Alle Männer in modern German. The history of those times is narrated by romans and Greeks so we have a romanised version of that name, alamanni.
Draghetta@lemmy.worldto Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.@slrpnk.net•Heather Mills Tells UN Officials To 'Eat Vegan' If They Care About The Planet173·1 year ago“Without the money” - that’s the key. Meat is heavily subsidised, vegan stuff is not. Even though cows eat soy. Vegan stuff is more expensive than meat only because of fucked up market systems, nothing that can’t be fixed by adjusting regulations.
Draghetta@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Police beatings of pro-Palestinian schoolchildren spark outrage in ItalyEnglish133·1 year agoIt’s a bit more nuanced than that. Meloni is from the istitutionalised fascists, who are indeed generally Zionist. The grassroots fascist movements such as forza nuova are generally pro Palestine, and have been for decades. Just like in every category, you find both.
Draghetta@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Pope Francis: I don’t bless a ‘homosexual marriage.’ I bless two people who love each other.English41·1 year ago🤓 you are only a cannibal if you eat individuals of your own species, they eat the flesh of their god so that’s incorrect
Draghetta@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Former CEO of Google has been quietly working on a military startup for “suicide” attack drones.English25·1 year agoNo, weapons are not INHERENTLY evil - as you seem to say - nor they are good, they just are and it so happens that countries need them, either to attack or to defend. Making weapons is not an evil act per se, supplying Russia with them would be a terribly evil thing to do, while supplying Ukraine or simply stockpiling them in the west in preparation for a possible escalation is a very, very good act.
We may go to war with Russia in the future, you need to be very naive to think that’s impossible. It’s not likely but it’s a possibility that we must consider. We are seeing in the past year or two that drones are the new game changers in contemporary battlefields. It’s only because of drones on both sides that nobody is able to make advances on the frontline.
Russia has adapted eventually and is now building a shitload of drones with increasing capabilities. China is doing the same. So is Iran. All of our (collective west) enemies are investing in this, with the aim of being able to hurt us and our allies.
Now how is us developing drones (through private enterprise, as is custom in liberal societies) a bad thing? About bloody time I say.
Yes, OLD Lenovo thinkpads.
Buy yourself a used T400-T430 (and models of that age) if you don’t have very big computing requirements, they are 10+ years old and they will last you another 10+.
If you buy a Lenovo from the last 7-8 years you will get an overpriced piece of junk.
Draghetta@lemmy.worldto science@lemmy.world•Men on vegan diets perceived as less masculine, highlighting gender stereotypes in diet choices.1·2 years agoExactly, my point was that word genders are meaningless
Draghetta@lemmy.worldto science@lemmy.world•Men on vegan diets perceived as less masculine, highlighting gender stereotypes in diet choices.3·2 years agoI don’t know if you’re being serious but what does that have to do with anything? In Italian the word for “beard” is feminine, I can assure you nobody links it with femininity in any way. Just because the neutral gender doesn’t exist that doesn’t mean everything is actually gendered.

Draghetta@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Not just Modena. Russian propaganda events pop up in ItalyEnglish5·2 years agoSee my comment to the OP
Draghetta@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Not just Modena. Russian propaganda events pop up in ItalyEnglish24·2 years agoItalian here, a bit of info:
The meeting in Modena will likely get cancelled. The mayor published an update today on his social media where he claims that an administrative investigation will take place where the grant of public space will be reconsidered in light of the information about the event. It was probably granted as an oversight.
The meeting with dugin will happen and can’t not happen. Dugin will be in video call from Russia. The call will take place in a private structure, there is nothing anybody - even the police - can do about it. There will be protests. I will be there. But the event will take place regardless.
If y’all and I gather in my living room and we make cheerful poems about the holocaust and chant heil Hitler to each other’s face it’s still legal. You can say anything you want in your private space. This is not Russia, as much as those pieces of shit gathering there would like to.
Draghetta@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The "i" in Linux and Linus have different pronunciations even when they shouldn't.104·2 years agoThere is nothing to debate, Linux is just Linus with an x at the end and should be pronounced as such.
Though sometimes I wish Linus had claimed it was pronounced laynaxe just to fuck with people. Too bad we already know: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=c39QPDTDdXU&pp=ygUpbXkgbmFtZSBpcyBsaW51cyB0b3J2YWxkcyBhbmQgaSBwcm9ub3VuY2U%3D
Draghetta@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Olive oil price skyrockets as Spanish drought bitesEnglish30·2 years agoAnecdotal stuff from Italy: 5 years ago you could buy EVO for some 3 euro /lt at the supermarket, or super delicious local oil for 10/lt. This year it’s 6/lt for supermarket, and average for local oil has gone 14 - 18 - 20/lt in the last 3 years.
If olive oil didn’t spoil it would be better than real estate.
All words that start with “gif” have a hard g because there is only one: gift. If “gift” had a soft g, then all the words that start with “gif-“ would have a soft g. If it only has one case of application it’s an accident, not a rule.
And again, saying this as somebody who agrees on “gif” having a hard g despite the delirious claims of its inventor.
jifts for Christmas
Yes, the time when you eat gingerbread and drink ginormous amounts of gin, if you get the gist
Let’s hang everybody who claims that gif is pronounced jiff, but not because (as you seem to imply) that’s not how “gi” is read in English because nothing is read always like anything ever in English
If you really don’t get the “least/most adjective category” meme, I will explain - and therefore ruin - the joke:
Let’s imagine a category of people, an eminent trait of said category, and an element exhibiting it. For example the Italians are known to be fanatical about food orthodoxy, and you spot online an Italian guy raging about the wrong shape of pasta being used for carbonara.
You comment: [this guy here is the] “least fanatic Italian”, implying that as fanatical as this guy is, the others are worse.
What have you achieved? With only three words you have insulted his category (Italians are a bunch of fanatics) and the guy himself, by reducing him to a stereotype. Two offenses in three words, an excellent ratio. Just to be clear though, most of the time these are not used to mean the insult in a really insulting manner - it’s more of a banter.
It’s a pretty common way to insult people online, I’m surprised you haven’t encountered it much. Hope I helped.
Funny how this is supposed to be absurd - upside down duck, cake, “bizarro” and all - but it’s actually pretty accurate. So many products out there that require you to download their shitty spyware in order to do the things they are supposed to do.
