Before you ask whether we live in a #simulation, you should first check whether you can be sure of your own #existence?

"I Think, Therefore I Am" - can it really be that simple?

Why can I think? Because I have been taught a #language and this language determines my #thinking and my #personality. Changing your language can change your personality. According to this, one is programmed by society by learning the language. However, by using language, I use learned thought patterns and am no longer really free in my thinking. But without language I couldn't think these thoughts at all.

So am I just a prisoner within the walls of my own thoughts or are they those of #society? Have I built my prison myself or do I have to break out of society's prison? Can I even break out within the simulation?

I suspect that everyone creates their own simulation that could be called truth. We are conditioned to take over the truth from society in order to become a useful member of it.

We can now try to become the hero or queen of our own story (simulation). I suppose that's all we can achieve in life.

But since I'm not even sure if I'm really real, I'm afraid I have to deny your existence. It is much more likely that you are just part of my simulation.

Could a native/fluent #german speaker help me to understand the difference between "lebe" und "wohnen".

I'm using a lot of digital media right now to learn German on my own. Specifically:

  • Duolingo - I love this app. It makes learning fun and it's great at building the foundation of the language (well, it seems to anyway).
  • Google Translate - My everyday go to when I want to see how I would say something.
  • DeepL Translate - I'm told it's the best translation for German/English
  • I've also tried using AI but it's stupid AF and will change it's statement depending on the way the wind blows.

In Addition, I am listening to podcasts like "News in Slow German" and "Coffee Break German".

While listening to "the Coffee Break German today" I became very confused when they were using sentences using "wohnen" instead of "lebe", which all the digital media seem to prefer.

So my questions are:

  1. Is it OK to say "Ich Komme aus Amerika, aber jetz lebe ich in Tschechien" like most digital media tend to suggest, or should I use "Ich komme aus Amerika, aber jetzt wohne ich in Tschechien" as was said on the podcast by a native... This is super confusing for me.
  2. In General, should I not trust digital media for learning (assuming the later sentence was the correct one). I really want to believe in the digital media because it makes things super easy for me :)

Any help with this would be very much appreciated.

Danke!

Does anyone know anything about this e-bike from 2005 or earlier?

I took a photo of the vehicle during a short stay in Bologna in 2005. I didn't know that Nikon produced e-bikes, ever. Or was that a fake? I'd really like to know. Any idea how to ask for that? Asking a search enging about "nikon" and "ebike" delivers many pictures of ebikes taken using nikon cameras, but nothing remotely relevant.

'I was #kidnapped by my runaway electric #car'

source: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-67005620

He was also asked to hold the power button for a couple of seconds which also failed to stop it and the entire dashboard lit up with faults.

...

Police were forced to stop the runaway car by allowing it to slowly crash into their police van.

If you think why didn't he pull the handbrake, then you've never been in a modern electric car. Everything works via software, including the handbrake. There are no more mechanical controls. Since we all know how badly modern #software is developed and tested, as this example impressively shows, the #question remains why there is no #emergency switch that disconnects the #battery from the #engine?

'I was kidnapped by my runaway electric car'

Brian Morrison's MG ZS EV had a malfunction near Glasgow and had to crash into a police van to stop.

What would you give up to save this #planet?

It's always so easy to demand that the rich should give up their yachts and private jets because you're not affected by it yourself. Those who don't have a car and live in the city demand the abolition of the car without thinking about the people in the countryside. Those who don't use AI and streaming are calling for data centers to be shut down to save power.

But what if it affected us? How much #Internet #bandwidth could we sacrifice if it meant saving the planet?

(Who now writes in the comments I only use text messages for chatting so I don't care about the bandwidth. I would like to congratulate him because he still has not understood what it's all about.)

Have you ever felt that everything you do is wrong? Everything you say is misunderstood. Everything you do goes wrong. Everything you want hurts someone else. Society tells you you have a choice, make a free choice, but no matter what you do you only make things worse. Maybe you are not the problem, maybe you never were the problem, maybe ... is the problem.

I think I need to set up a #VPN. Which would you recommend, and why? The considerations are the obvious ones: speed, privacy, reliability, ease of use and cost.

It would be quite useful to be able to install it on my router to cover all devices that use the broadband, and optionally to install it on my iPhone as well.

I’m in UK, if that makes a difference.
