I just occasionally go back to shill for Lemmy. Pretty sure that hurts them more than helps. :D

Let me think of a good name for it. Let’s see, it hangs and holds a banana. How about we call it the “banana hammock”?

Maybe you and your sister should RTFM together.

Ceçi n’est pas un café.

It does seem like something that could be fixed with better automated tooling, but should it be?

For tagging it isn’t the post data that needs to be changed, but it’s metadata, which seems more reasonable for mods to be able to change. I’m not familiar enough with Lemmy to know if that distinction exists under the hood.

Could someone perhaps explain the major use cases or give a real life example of a time you’ve needed to use awk? I’ve been using Linux casually for quite a long time now, and although I learned the basics of the tool, I can’t recall having ever felt I had a need for it. If I want to glue a bunch of cli stuff together and need to do some text processing, it generally seems like it’d be easier to just use a simple python script.

Is it more for situations that need to be compatible with most *nix systems and you might not necessarily have access to a higher level scripting language?

Mon dieu!

OK, you asked for it. I’m binding super+P to open pornhub in a private window.

While I pretty much agree, I can definitely think of a few sporadic times doing sysadmin where things have gone so significantly wrong that an enforced sanity-check on every sudo command would have been appreciated.

Oh well, guess I’m eating pasta this month. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

“Frites” is a portmanteau of the words “French” and “frites”, so it’s still just “frites”.

Incidentally, when translating the word “frites” to English, you can’t be certain of how many instances of the word “French” you need to add, and the only way to be certain is to ask the original author. This has led to many difficulties in translating posthumous works.

My guess is that there are multiple tables on one sheet, and this is the summation of the sub-totals.

The problem is that performant screenshare (to multiple users) more or less requires infrastructure. That requires money, and it’s impossible to compete on price with services that have the VC-enshitification model.

You can get around this in a few ways, but they’re all tradeoffs that are in some way or other worse than discord.

• P2P - sacrifice latency, reliability
• direct multi-stream - sacrifice PC performance and/or bitrate
• paid infrastructure - sacrifice money

Eleven and twelve kinda are as well. They literally mean “one left” (ain-lif) and “two left” (twa-lif) with the “over ten” being implied.

Edit: Oh, OP basically already said the same thing.

I think it really depends on the website and even where you are on the website. For example, if you’re on YT, the watch?v=<b64_id> is probably not something you want to throw away. If you’re on a news site like imaginarynews.com/.../the-article-title/?tracking-garbage=<...> then you probably do. It’s just a matter of having “sane” defaults that work as most people would expect.

That’d be cool. Whenever I’m sharing a YT link, I’m always a bit suspicious of what info the youtu.be URL is hiding, so I paste it into a browser to get a clean URL.

Maybe this is silly, but I’d be cool to do that automatically.

Only difference being a gun can’t say no. The complicity of the grunt who carries out the order gives them a portion of the responsibility. That’s certainly no absolution to Melon, though.

Symbolic appropriation is the modus operandi of fascism. That’s why the swastika, a former symbol of peace, is now one of the most widely known symbols of hate on the planet.

Reminds me of an all evil campaign I played in once.

I recall “heroically” leading the towns militia into a wererat den on the night of the full moon, only to lock them all in together and finish off the stragglers on both sides afterwards. Turns out militiamen’s scalps look awfully similar to those of reverted wererats, and we turned quite a profit.

I’m oversimplifying here, but it’s because it requires conformity. Everyone has to change themselves to fit the system, and if they can’t or don’t, then they are generally not treated very well.

The polar opposite problem is when there’s too much individual freedom and people are allowed to harm others with impunity, so once again some people will be treated very poorly.
