The struggle of English native speakers with the dative case is amusing to observe, when you come from a language background that uses case morphology all over the place.

Kazumarato News@lemmy.world•Prosecutors fail to indict sandwich thrower in Trump's Washington public safety operation37·20 hours agoLast time I reacted to this Pirro quote by saying it was indeed very funny:
“He thought it was funny,” Ms. Pirro said of the defendant in a video posted online. “Well, he doesn’t think it’s funny today, because we charged with him with a felony.”
I just want to say, it has gone up a level to “hilarious” now that they can’t even get a grand jury on their side

Kazumarato Games@lemmy.world•The recent Steam censorship debacle actually sort of opened me up to adult games.English5·2 days agoSubverse is really funny in its writing and the renders are high quality as expected of StudioFOW.
HuniePop’s main game loop with the “connect”-style game loop on dates is actually pretty fun to play.
I found something more informative over here:
With the new s. 73 a, a proposal is made to introduce a ban on deepfakes of natural persons’ personal, physical characteristics. Personal, physical characteristics are to be understood as the traits and features that define a person and are unique to the individual, such as appearance, voice, movements, etc.
What is special about the proposed provision is that, unlike other provisions of the Copyright Act, it does not require the existence of a copyright-protected “work” or “performance”, but the protection rather covers all natural persons. This applies regardless of whether they are artists or creators in the legal sense.
Thus, the protection comprises the unique characteristics of individuals, which are closely linked to one’s person. For this reason, it is also proposed that consent to public disclosure must be given individually, and the area cannot be covered by a collective licence agreement.
The ban only applies to the public disclosure of deepfakes, meaning that there is nothing preventing deepfakes from being made available within the private sphere – such as at a private party or in relation to the right of reproduction.
Sounds like this is not true as written.
A copyright does not attach to a natural thing. It attaches to an original expression of a human author fixed in a tangible medium.
A photo or a painting of a face can have copyright protection, a face cannot.
A recording or mix including a voice can have copyright protection, a voice cannot.
It’s speaking to tourists, who generally can’t read Catalan
Ahh right! Thanks for correcting me. Now that you mention it I remember too. It also makes sense, a year is roughly 365.2425 days long. Add 0.25 (one out of four), subtract 0.01 (one out of hundred), add another 0.0025 (2.5 out of thousand which is 1 out of 400)
Leap years are each fourth year, except each hundredth year, except each
thousandthfourhundredth year.1896 leap year
1900 not leap year
1904 leap year
…
1996 leap year
2000 leap year
2004 leap year
…
2096 leap year
2100 not leap year
2104 leap yearThen you just arrange the 10 year window in different positions to overlap 1 to 3 leap years to reveal the three outcomes of the bug.

Sure, here’s one example for each case:
1 day off: 3650 days before 1907-01-01 is 1897-01-02
2 days off: 3650 days before 2027-01-01 is 2017-01-03
3 days off: 3650 days before 2025-01-01 is 2015-01-04
I’m surprised that the Frozen sisters are 21 and 24. I thought they were closer in age, and younger.
Edit: They are actually 18 and 21 in Frozen. The second movie is 3 years later.
The python version seems buggy as fuck. Depending on which year you run it it’s off by 1-3 days
Kazumarato News@lemmy.world•Trump mobilizing up to 1,700 National Guards troops in 19 states in crime crackdown25·6 days agoDo you know what they called the law that gave legislative power to Adolf Hitler’s newly formed executive in 1933? “Gesetz zur Behebung der Not von Volk und Reich” so roughly “Law for the remediation of distress to people and reich”. It strikes me that by rhetorically elevating the normal levels of crime to the level of distress to the people and country, and then activating emergency powers, Donald Trump is following in the same footsteps.

Then stop being a conservative. Who votes against their own self interest so hard? Who is enough of a cunt to accept social welfare while also taking a view that opposes it?
I don’t think it’s an accepted term anymore, but you reminded me that they used to call the triple X chromosome syndrome by the term Super-Female-Syndrome.
Probably not what the author intended though.
Well I don’t know… I worked with boomers who first built out the internet in my country. Now they mostly retired, but the Gen-Xers who remain are also incredible.
My dad who’s also a boomer and an anesthesiologist got admin rights at the hospital he worked at because he helped everyone around with their computer troubles and the tech support trusted him and were happy he reduced their ticket load.
Maybe you guys just know the wrong people.
Kazumarato World News@lemmy.world•Son of Norway’s crown princess charged with four counts of rapeEnglish15·10 days agoThey don’t deserve all this media attention just because they got a lucky birth
While I agree with you in principle, this guy in particular didn’t have a lucky birth. His parents were not aristocrats, his father is a felon and didn’t stick around, his mother raised him alone at first. His grandparents on the mothers side are divorced and his grandpa is also a felon.
However when he was four and a half his mother married into the royal house. So he would have had a privileged upbringing from then on. So he’s still super fucked up, to piss it into the wind with violent crime.
Kazumarato politics @lemmy.world•Trump is deporting so many immigrants that it could cause inflation to hit 4% next year, top economist says6·11 days agoIt’s going to be difficult to decide how much inflation comes from which bad policy, because there are multiple.
- Deportations (less production due to workforce reduction)
- Import taxes on finished goods (less market supply locally)
- Import taxes on industry inputs (less production locally)
- Forcing inefficient foreign investment (monetary oversupply for impacted sectors)
I think it’s all performative bullshit, not good policy.
Some decision maker has to appear innovative to his superiours, so he decides to have some number of locations assigned to a trial group and some bullshit installed. Even if it fails, just as long as he finds the right moment to start appearing critical of the experiment he can still pull off his play. After all moving fast and failing fast are also virtue in modern corporate bullshit lingo.
