My parents didn't really give me a talk, where I live we have pretty comprehensive sex education in school that starts at 8/9 and finishes around 14/15.

At 13, maybe he's already been given some kind of education about his body (especially since he already shaves and has already probably had wet dreams and discovered masturbation). Do you know what he already knows?

Family isn't going to work for you, but do you have male friends or work colleagues you trust enough to ask for advice?

I don't mean to be glib or upset you, but you still have lifetime access to the versions of Sublime Text for which you paid; you just don't get free updates to the next version. AFAIK, that's been the way they've done things for years.

April 3rd isn't in 10 days...

What about it? It's another software. Did you mean to reply to the original commenter?

Ideology? He's passing laws that are killing and torturing people.

Women are dying outside of hospitals that are too scared of being sued to treat them. Immigrants are being sent to Guantanamo Bay. Trans people are being systematically erased from government documents and having their passports confiscated.

These are real things that irreparably harm, not just ideas.

Have you looked into KiCAD? It's FOSS and Linux-first.

I'd call it plausibly deniable catfishing.

They are presenting themselves as a specific person without explicitly saying so, leaving you with less to stand on (in their mind, not in actual reality) when you claim that they are not who they say they are, because they didn't say that the photo/audio was of them.

It's pretty obvious to anyone with a brain that if your avatar is of a specific woman and you are using a feminine voice, that you at least think of yourself as a feminine person and identify at least a little bit with the imagery of the avatar.

So... for what other reason could they be using these photos and audio? Not many other reasons come to mind, so Occam's razor (i.e., the simplest answer is most likely) applies, in my mind.

Ah, you've reminded me to review how to ask someone to repeat themselves. I have only spoken via text with 1 native speaker so far and it was really eye-opening how unprepared I was, haha. I still have trouble with basic sentences that you might find in a kindergarten-level book so I think I jumped in too soon.

You're still banging on about Anthropic? I used it as an example to make my point (which is that commercial usage of copyrighted works is illegal, nothing about making/distributing copies or uploading or whatever you think you're talking about).

But you're up and down this thread bending over backwards to not have a good faith discussion with people who are not lawyers, so it's incredibly difficult to take you seriously and at face value.

Why does the customer/user matter at all here when they're not party to the lawsuit? You can have no customers yet and still infringe on copyright by using something for commercial purposes when you're not licensed to do so. That's how licenses work.

Of course, that limits the damages since there arguably hasn't been any harm (which doesn't make it legal), so lawsuits aren't usually filed at that point; it's usually a cease and desist. Also, I don't have to argue anything. I'm not a lawyer.

I can show whatever movie I want at my house with my friends and that's legal, but if I charge $10 to show it, that's not legal. I don't give a shit, because I pirate everything and show it to whoever I want for free, but that's the law as written.

I really like the 9k Most Common Russian Words deck. But for me, I think the best way is to make my own from vocabulary that I am encountering in whatever courses I'm taking or whatever context I'm learning in. I also like to add an example sentence and pronunciation audio, along with stress marks.

I don't have much use for learning words out of context because I find them incredibly difficult to remember. I bolded that because I think it's important, especially if you are still finding ways to make Anki effective for you.

For example, I (like a lot of people) started with Duolingo and Busuu and I learned about 700 words from that; I exported those word lists to Anki and am continuing to add words that I encounter in other courses and also from Russian native speakers on YouTube to the same deck. I still do Duolingo most days but it's not very good at explaining things.

I would have to guess that your apartment is being heated by radiating heat from other apartments (probably below you) as well as insulated by good quality walls and windows, and then this is supplemented by radiators when deemed necessary by some kind of sensor.

It's also possible you have underfloor heating if you live in a newer apartment in a country where that's common. But it wouldn't be my first assumption.
