Cat software on dog hardware.

But that’s not what happened, just look at the statistics. Why do you spread false information, what’s your source?

replaced them with coal.

I always wonder where this “fact” comes from.

You have a beautiful daughter.

It’s not just the music, also the talk radio, the moderators, the news, the ads,…

YouTube supports multiple audio tracks these days and sometimes it decides that I should listen to a dubbed version of a video. Somehow all media players are very limited when it comes to settings for language preferences.

Seems a little strange considering their refusal to provide M1 Abrams tanks from their stockpile as these have depleted uranium armor.

It’s not like news is just politics. Today a helicopter (yeah yeah, it was an Osprey, not a regular helicopter, whatever) with a bunch of US soldiers crashed in Australia and I can read about it in German and French news, this most certainly doesn’t affect me at all.

To be honest, I’ve just checked the “Top Day” sorting of /c/[email protected], and the news are all about non-USA topics.

And now go on [email protected], there’s no indication that it’s US news only, yet it’s almost all US news.

Yeah, they tend to be prime ministers instead, looking at you Orban.

They’re everywhere, I think they might be following me, oh what’s that, someone’s knocking at the door…

Why would anyone who’s against nuclear automatically be pro coal? It’s not like the only options available to us are nuclear and coal.

I suppose there are two related reasons:

1. older people (but also quite a lot of young people) don’t speak english that well, they would have problems understanding and dubbing has been done for so long that they expect it
2. there are enough german speakers that it’s worth dubbing instead of just subtitling

For a lot of african countries english and french are more administrative languages. More and more people learn them as they’re used in schools, but in everyday life other languages dominate. Calling them english speaking countries may be correct as english is the “official” language, but that’s not the whole picture.

Regarding media, I can get almost anything I want in a dubbed or translated version, even some youtubers provide dubbed versions of their videos.

Ferme ta gueule.

Web 3.0 was the semantic web.

Afaik they cancelled the expansions for GTA V because they fucked up the launch of GTA Online and needed to fix that instead.

Weird selection of cities. Very U.S. centric considering they claim “geographical diversity”.

To better understand urban spatial order and city street network entropy, we analyze 100 large cities across North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Oceania. Our sampling strategy emulates Louf and Barthelemy’s (2014) to select cities through a balance of high population, regional significance, and some stratification to ensure geographical diversity within regions.

Just read the study? They modelled street networks as undirected graphs, one-way streets are treated like all other streets, as their directionality isn’t considered.

Street networks are typically modeled as graphs where nodes represent intersections and dead-ends, and edges represent the street segments that link them (Barthelemy and Flammini 2008; Cardillo et al. 2006; Lin and Ban 2013; Marshall et al. 2018; Porta et al. 2006). These edges are spatially embedded and have both a length and a compass bearing (Barthelemy 2011). The present study models urban street networks as undirected nonplanar multigraphs with possible self-loops. While directed graphs most-faithfully represent constraints on flows (such as vehicular traffic on a one-way street), undirected graphs better model urban form by corresponding 1:1 with street segments (i.e., the linear sides of city blocks). While many street networks are approximately planar (having relatively few overpasses or underpasses), nonplanar graphs provide more accurate models by accommodating those bridges and tunnels that do often exist (Boeing 2018c; Eppstein and Goodrich 2008).
