That’s the population of Canada
I assume this was translated by a human both ways, not machine translated. It’s plausible in that case

Do all Europeans choose to purposefully misinterpret information that is actually very easy to understand based on context?

Non integer display scaling will always look like crap.
No it won’t, Windows has had this figured out for at least a decade

Technology@lemmy.ml•Europe’s deepest mine to become giant gravity battery
2·2 years agoYeah but if we all wrote “joules per second” instead of watts we’d encourage everyone to measure energy in joules instead of watt-hours. It’s like speed, we don’t need an entirely separate unit that just means m/s

9·2 years agoOr just joules per second for power. Eliminate watts entirely. Dumbass unit
not as great as his dad vomiting on the prime minister of Japan though
Well? Did you finish it?

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What's your favorite note-taking application?English
3·2 years agoI use it for a mix of text, handwriting/drawing, PDF annotation and image annotation, and I also pretty heavily rely on realtime sync between my devices. If none of that is stuff you use then I can see why you might want something simpler

Here’s an interesting write-up about an attempt to develop a large-scale urban maglev system in the 1970s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krauss-Maffei_Transurban
tl;dr: there were so many technical issues that when the West German company developing the tech lost funding and the Ontario government took over the project, they immediately abandoned the maglev concept and replaced it with linear-induction propulsion with steel wheels on rails (the mag, without the lev).
Even this tech, which does have a few advantages over conventional rail and is still used today in cities like Vancouver, is falling out of favour due to general logistical issues with using bespoke technology over conventional rail – fewer people know how to build and maintain it, you’re relying on usually just one company to supply your trains and infrastructure until the end of time, you can’t reuse any existing infrastructure, etc. I’d imagine these issues still get in the way of maglev development today – even more so because you can’t even reuse existing rails

Android@lemmy.ml•Wish there was an \*\*Android Studio Lite\*\* version of the IDE that is targeted to low powered devices and has only bare minimum features to develop an app.
2·2 years agoI do this but it’s a pain in the ass. They keep making it harder to access certain features without opening Android Studio (i.e. the AVD manager, logcat, app signing functionality, etc)
Also sometimes gradlew decides to just not build your project and you have to open Android Studio to get it to work. Why? No idea
I don’t even use low power hardware, Android Studio just manages to be an incredible resource hog even on normal hardware

8·2 years agoMy impression is that burn-in isn’t nearly as much of an issue on newer panels as it once was. At least, I’ve been using the same OLED phone for 4 years and have no sign of burn-in yet.

I’m fairly certain the text is AI generated too, just because of the questionable “creative” decisions that I don’t think a human would make (why does some of the text have overlines? why is only the Canada line red? why are all the lines jarringly different font sizes?)
plus, now that I zoom in, one of the colons has different sizes for the top and bottom dots. I guess GANs can just do text now
