Use a large spoon instead, won’t bend.

Ahhhh, I might have misunderstood.

If “Das Geht?” was meant to say: “Is that [time and price] all right [with you]?”, then as I said below, it should be “Geht das [für dich]?”.

But if you meant to essentially verbally shrug your shoulders and say “Eh, that’s fine, isn’t it?” then yes, “Das geht [eigentlich, oder]?” is totally fine.

“Das geht” I’ve used in class as “that works for me”. I’m hoping the question form (“Das geht?”) is usable?

Almost. It’s a question, so it should be:

Geht das?

which is a super common expression.

All in all:

Na ja. $500 ist zu teuer! “Wicked” ist nur $150 um 19 Uhr am Sonnetag. Geht das?

Also:

DeepL did recommend the verb “kostet” btw. “ist” is how the sentence was formed originally with my own level of German. It does seem to flow better to use the verb kostet.

Yep, slightly, also see my other comment below. “ist” is fine, especially in spoken language. “kostet” might be a bit nicer, but not technically “more correct”.

If I’d have said/written the sentence out of my own volition, I’d probably have swapped the word order around a bit:

Naja. $500 is zu teuer! “Wicked” kostet am Sonntag um 19 Uhr nur $150. Geht das?

Your sentence is also grammatically correct though.

(Not the person you originally replied to, but also German native speaker)

Ich gehe gern in das Theater im Wochenende, obwohl Hamilton zu teuer ist! Hamilton ist mehr als $500! Welche Theaterstück ist billiger?

This is 100% understanable, so: good job! There’s a couple things you could improve though. The first two are small grammar mistakes:

[…] im Wochenende […]

It’s “am Wochenende”. Just like in English, where “in the weekend” would probably be understandable, but “on the weekend” is correct, here it’s “am Wochenende”.

Welche Theaterstück ist billiger?

Again, completely understandable. However, “Welche” needs to be in the Genitiv and Neutrum hier, i.e.: “Welches Theaterstück ist billiger?”. I can’t really know where the mistake came from, but as far as I can tell, the options are either: you assumed Theaterstück is Feminin (e.g. “Welche Frau” / “which woman” would be correct, since “Frau” is Feminin / “die Frau”), or you intended to ask the question in the plural (“Welche Theaterstücke sind billiger?”).

With those two changes, your sentences would be completely grammatically correct.

Now I got a couple of nits. They do not make the sentence “more correct”, just “more natural”.

Ich gehe gern in das Theater am Wochenende.

Due to the word order and the use of “in das” here, the emphasis is (slightly) on “that theater”. I.e. it sounds a little bit like you are trying to say, “I like to visit this specific theater on the weekend”. I assume you wanted to express a more general “visiting a theater is something I like to do on the weekend”, in which case I’d suggest swapping the word order around a little, plus changing “in das” to “ins”:

Ich gehe am Wochenende gern ins Theater.

The word order is a little more natural in German, but the main thing to note here is “ins”. This might seem similar to a contraction like “it is” -> “it’s” in English, and I guess it kinda is similar, but “ins” does not carry the same connotation of colloquiality. Even in very formal written texts, I’d be very surprised to find “in das” used over “ins” (maybe excluding some very old usage of that phrase? Not sure tbh).

This is actually something I see very frequently with folks speaking German as their second language and it always sticks out a bit. So, rule of thumb: If the place you’d like to go to/into is Neutrum, contract “in das” to “ins” to sound more natural, even in written text. (The same is not true for Feminin places like Bakery/Bäckerei, there “Ich gehe in die Bäckerei” is correct and natural, and Maskulin places like Forest/Wald, where “Ich gehe in den Wald” also can’t be contracted.)

Next point:

Hamilton ist mehr als $500!

Small thing first: In German, the currency symbol/word goes after the number (e.g. 500€), though I’m not sure if that rule applies to $ in German. But €500 would definitely be incorrect.

The other thing I wanted to point out is the usage of “mehr als” here. It’s not wrong. It just doesn’t “vibe” with the verb is/ist to native ears. “Hamilton kostet mehr als 500€” would sound completely natural, just the “ist mehr als” sounds off because those words are rarely if ever used in that combination. The more natural alternative would either be to use “kostet”, or simply:

Hamilton ist über 500€!

Although, now that I’m writing it, I’d personally recommend:

Karten für Hamilton kosten über 500€!

or

Hamilton kostet über 500€!

…but that is quite a lot of changes to your original sentence. So: all the options are fine. Your original is grammatically correct. I’m just nitpicking with a focus on natural-sounding-ness.

Final point:

Ich gehe gern in das Theater am Wochenende, obwohl Hamilton zu teuer ist!

Could you tell me what the English sentence/meaning was that you had in your mind and wanted to translate? If it’s something along the line of “I like going to the theater on weekends, despite Hamilton being too expensive!” then disregard everything below this point.

However, if your intention was something more like: “I’d like to go to the theater this weekend, but Hamilton is too expensive!”, let me know, then I have some additional thoughts on the sentence.

Or TUI.

Lmao. Lmfao, even.

Here, I’m gonna save you some time and summarize the article for you:

• everyone is talking about how good LLMs are [citation missing], but they’re missing the point!
• because really, we’re already so much further ahead! There be magic tools out there!
• wait, you want to know which ones? Uuuuh sorry, the people building then are keeping them a secret…
• …because they are just THAT FRIGHTENINGLY GOOD! [citation missing]
• seriously, I used one of them to build a 30k/month product in 2 hours with zero coding!
• I mean… A subset at least. Oh I also did not do any review, so no idea just how badly fucked it is. Ah, and I guess the price tag comes from the existing reputation and legal guarantees provided by the original tool, which obviously I also couldn’t replicate.
• but worry not! I’m sure I’d be able to build the full tool in DAYS!
• I won’t though. Even though it could TOTALLY make me 30k per month per user. Totally.
• instead, I’ll PROVE to you JUST HOW GOOD these SECRET TOOLS are! Checkout this GitHub repo!
• …ah, no, sorry, I misspoke. I’ll obviously NOT be using the secret, but TOTALLY REAL [citation missing] tools that this entire article is about. For some reason. They’re totally real though bro. Trust me bro. I’m sure one more data-center will fix it bro. Just need to prompt right bro. Like bro, people don’t realize how gooooooood LLMs are bro. I swear bro. My prompts are so good I need to keep them secret because it’s SCARY bro. Bro.

Ahem. Maybe I editorialized a tiny bit. Not much though, trust me bro.

Nice, I was able to send an email to that.

That’s what I’m not so sure about though. Forgejo/codeberg/… projects are already not hard to find through search engines. Add a federated in-forgejo search and you’d be set there.

And currently the problem indeed is that a forgejo project is on instance X, and you, as a developer only have accounts on Y and Z. But through federation, that would stop mattering, so I don’t get the “it’s where contributors are”: as long as contributors have a single forgejo account anywhere, we’d be good.

No-one is forcing you to install Adobe software. Stop crying about other people liking choices.

Yep yep yep. I have forgejo accounts on so many instances (including on my own, 2-person instance which hosts all my personal shit). I’d love to be able to jump into discussions and open PRs on other people’s forges without needing a new account.

Forgejo in particular is just a fantastic forge. It’s surprisingly feature-rich, and so, so fast compared to GitHub, even on very lowspecced hardware. I honestly think that if federation is properly implemented, then in the long run, GitHub will become obsolete for FOSS projects.

Die Epstein Files sind mittlerweile die Ablenkung. Egal wie schlimm was auch immer in dem Moment passiert ist, die Hälfte der oppositionell ausgerichteten Leute schreit “Epstein Files”!

Jeder den’s interessiert weiß, dass die Files vernichtend für Trump sind / sein werden. Sie zu veröffentlichen ändert daran gar nichts. Seine Basis wird ihn glauben wenn er schreit “Hoax”.

Ne, in der Mitte:

Nihongo ga dekimasu ka? / 日本語が出来ますか

Aber alles gut. Ich auch nicht. Hab nur die Gelegenheit zum Klugscheißen genutzt. Gomennasai!

Personally identifiable information.

a number of these things are actual security exploits

yes, sure, but in the sense of “social engineering the slopbot”, not “there’s a vulnerability in [x] which does not apply proper sanitation to non-body text content before evaluating it”

Ah, makes sense. My mind was going more towards actual security exploits, but… yeah. Makes sense.

Anyways, thank you Flere-Imsaho, I will never not love seeing your username on here.

I’m apparently too out of coffee dumb to properly get the joke. What’s the implications if some system parses the PNG text chunks in the same way it does the body of the email?

Warte nach 8 Jahren immer noch auf reine Haut, aber ansonsten, joa!

Incredible?
