I agree with the sentiment but not with using a probabilistic ai detector which routinely put out wrong results. I checked for ai watermarks at slopornot.ai and there don't seem to be any, giving the image just a 65% of being ai. Now I agree that the flowers look suspicious but it could still be an artificial flower bed with some oversaturation going on. Unless the source given by op has a history of posting slop, I am inclined to believe this might be real.

I've heard of scammers paying out small amounts deliberately to reel in more money so this still doesn't guarantee it's real.

Technically speaking, pretty much all of our power is solar power with extra steps.

This sounded very wrong to me, so I googled and apparently they had a setup where the reflected air from the sail caused a net flow in the opposite direction allowing them to move forwards. But that is less effective than just blowing the air straight backwards without a sail.

That is mostly true when the moon stands directly above the equator, however its orbit isn't fixed to the equator so the duration can vary during a month the same way the duration of the sun being in the sky varies over the year. So especially near the poles it is possible to see the moon for more than 24 hours or not at all for multiple days.

On the homepage lemmy.world, new posts keep appearing at the top even when not sorting by new. This causes annoying layout shift, especially when browsing all communities, not just local ones. (I use Firefox / Win 10)

-tan seems to be a cutesy / baby-talk version of -chan.

As someone who has tried studying all three languages, Korean and Japanese are actually quite similar. Many grammar patterns like particles and conjugations can be directly translated and many loanwords from Chinese sound very similar in both languages. So knowing either one certainly does make learning the other one easier.

Maybe ご多忙中 (ごたぼうちゅう) is a good example? Something like "Excuse me for interrupting you when you are so busy".

You can still buy lots of DRM-free games today, most notably on GOG, but many offline games on Steam also ship without DRM and can be launched without running Steam.

Adolescents attending schools with restrictive, compared to permissive policies had lower phone (adjusted mean difference −0.67 h, 95% CI −0.92 to −0.43, p = 0.00024) and social media time (adjusted mean difference −0.54 h, 95% CI −0.74 to −0.36, p = 0.00018) during school time, but there was no evidence for differences when comparing usage time on weekdays or weekends.

I would translate のこと as 'regarding' or 'about'. It shouldn't really change the meaning but is just a slightly more indirect way of saying 'the weather will be x'. Maybe you've also heard of あなたのことが好き(すき)です as a way to confess your feelings. The meaning should be the same as あなたが好きです but it might be perceived as more indirect and polite I guess.

I tried searching for the katakana and a song called Fallin came up. Fallen would probably be spelt フォーレン
