Here's a visualization of the birth rates of Japan, Poland and Germany against those of South Korea:
https://georank.org/birth-rate/japan/south-korea
https://georank.org/birth-rate/poland/south-korea
https://georank.org/birth-rate/germany/south-korea

Japan and Poland have been stable, maybe slightly declining, since the early 2000s, and Germany has been stable for 50, all below replacement, whereas South Korea is still going down.

I am no demographic expert, so take this with a grain of salt, but for the moment it doesn't look like the other countries are going to hit the same problems at the same severity anytime soon whereas South Korea is going to get hit by the full force of their demographic issues within a few short decades.

The growth (or in this case decline) is exponential. 1.08 is bad, 0.80 is terrifying. 1.08 is roughly half of the fertility needed for a stable population (about 2.1 children per woman). This means that per generation your population shrinks by half its size. 0.8 is another 25% lower. At an exponential rate these differences add up fast. The first one gives you (roughly) one child per 8 great grandparents. The other one needs 18. So over 3 generations the population shrinks by another factor of more than a half.

2 Stunden warten um ein 100GB grosses Spiel runterzuladen, das dann aufgrund mangelhafter Optimierung mehrere Minuten lange AI-Slop Ladebildschirme anzeigt muss diese neue AAAA-Experience sein, von der Ubisoft immer redet.

The most recent release is probably Anno 117 which came out yesterday. While decently looking it's lacking features of the previous title (like coop mode and mod browser) with the promise they will be added later and is priced at around 60€ or 90€ if you want to gamble on the quality of the promised to be released DLC. They also relied on AI generated images in some of the assets used in the game instead of paying their artists. Optimisation for the game seems to be ok, but not great but it might be too early to judge that fully yet.

This article is AI generated and therefore worthless as a news source.

Axel Springer. Springer ist ein wissenschaftlicher Verlag, diese Aktion richtete sich gegen den Axel Springer Verlag, Herausgeber von u.A. der Bild. Im Text des Artikels ist es richtig dargestellt, in der Überschrift und Zusammenfassung falsch. Falls sich noch jemand wundert warum die LG gegen einen wissenschaftlichen Verlag protestieren sollte. Mit denen läuft auch ne Menge falsch, aber die sind wahrscheinlich nicht das übliche Ziel von Klimaaktivisten.

Teams pretends it's an app that can do a lot of things at once but for literally all of the things it pretends to be good at it is the worst possible choice.

They removed russian maintainers that are associated with sanctioned companies. Individual russian contributers were unaffected by this.

Last Jedi

That's cheating, none of that movie made any sense whatsoever.

I'd rather wait because they actually take their time to talk to their patients than them kicking everyone (including me) out of the door as soon as the time is over.

Free speech isn't a constitutional right in Australia

I am not very well versed in Australian law, but this indicates to me that free speech is indeed protected in Australia.

Lauren Southern was banned from the UK?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lauren_Southern

She's a far-right racist conspiracy theorist nutjob who was denied entry into the UK for spewing hatred. Her right to express herself ends where other people's rights for freedom, health and safety begin.
