Disclamer: I love regional and indigenous languages. I hate jacobinism, cultural imperialism and the fact that a handful of dominant languages are seen as prestigious or more useful.

That being said, if her native tongue is percieved as low prestige, I can feel her. Parents want to offer to their children the best chances and the best social position. People are often even ashamed of speaking a language, sad but not their fault.

Is it your mom’s case?

Stop with the supposed imminent AI apocalypse. It won’t happen. It’s a fantasy dreamt up by fanatic techbros and used to justify why they are fucking society and the climate, all starting from a Harry Potter fanfiction. Really.

Here’s the support page from Anthropic. Another win from the EU, that’s great! Really curious to read the technical paper about the detection.

Are humans dying of thirst too weak to update their water supply?

It had not occured to me until recently that all the big late Pleistocene fauna (like Ice Age animals) just lived alongside all animals still around today. Tens of thousands of year is nothing in terms of animal evolution.

So the African wildcat was absolutely contemporary to saber toothed cats!

It’s not that they were weak, it’s just that all their prey disappeared when humans showed up. Seeing natural selection as some kind of merit has flaws. If they evolved, they were well-adapted by definition. If they went extinct, the conditions that made them evolve changed.

It’s great! You really should sign them, though. Besides self promotion, attribution is important to find the sources, credit the materiel and find more of your stufd!

I’m forced to use Windows at work.

Task manager itself has started to freeze and crash nowadays 🫠

The ultimate decision comes to the owner, though. Should he bend to the customer’s expectations? Or is it only his idea of the customer’s expectations; because at least on Lemmy it looks like people don’t care about the look of the staff. Probably not a representative sample, though.

I see a lot of people responding with “you don’t have to be Japanese to cook Japanese food”. I think this comic raises another interesting point (whether it’s the intention of the author or not).

The analysis would be valid if it was a random set of nationalities: Asian, European, African, etc. But in the comic, all of the employees are Asian. I think there’s a criticism that the restaurant owner is racially biased and only hires Asian staff. Why? I don’t see another explanation that the staff must “pass” for Japanese, which would be problematic of the owner.

We had a new joiner quit on his first day because of this. Didn’t even get to eat the burrito he ordered :( So it definitely happens.
