Wait until she finds out about daemons.

[–] MaggiWuerze@feddit.de 45 points 10 months ago

Or the rituals I hold in my server room to appease the Omnissiah

[–] netizen@programming.dev 20 points 10 months ago (1 children)

My atheist configuration doesn't allow me to believe in daemons: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/10022442/37361421-26026212-26f3-11e8-8e97-d5136bce5e41.gif

Why's it a static gif

[–] Gestrid 6 points 10 months ago (2 children)

That's... a great question. What's the purpose of a gif with only one frame?

[–] netizen@programming.dev 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You're young. Young enough to have to google my username meaning. Maybe also google what GIF means: Graphics Interchange Format. Long tima go you could find images on the internet, and they were always GIF, because JPG didn't exist.

But yes, it's quite strange nowadays, I agree Oh, yes, I used the net before smileys were a thing :-)

The same purpose as a PNG or JPEG?

You know that GIF is not specifically a format for animations, right? It’s just a lossless image format.

I like "orphanize" - one of those things that shouldn't be a word, but is!

NGL, Orphaniser or Orphanizer sounds like one hell of a metal band name

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Alternatively a depressingly realistic look at the consequences of war for non-participating children, couched in the veneer of an 80s Sci-Fi movie.

"YOUR PARENTS WILL NOT BE BACK"

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 6 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Or a Shark Tank-style infomercial product. "It's The Orphanizer, From Ronco!"

Just rename the child to Hamas. IDF will kill it for you.

Theoretically, where would one find a child to sacrifice? Asking for a friend.

[–] mox@lemmy.sdf.org 46 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I heard from a friend that one can find lots of them here:
(But I suggest avoiding it.)

Inb4 normies force us to change well established terminology just to appease their fragile souls

Like git's main and master

[–] Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.de 33 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Whining about that change is kinda a red flag ngl

[–] vzq@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Right? It’s less letters and it’s pretty clear.

I haven’t found a good action neutral replacement for “black list” yet though. “Deny list” and “block list” are too action-specific.

[–] Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.de 6 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Sounds like a nono list to me!

The child must be sacrificed to appease the daemon.

[–] NocturnalEngineer@lemmy.world 27 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Surprised she didn't freak out with the line below. It's already gone on a killing spree...

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 14 points 10 months ago

Understandable because it's the process that's getting killed, but no child being sacrificed yet.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

I'm surprised she managed to read five of the words.

[–] ruk_n_rul@monyet.cc 25 points 10 months ago

I smell a crime thriller where a serial killer is a programmer and hid their actual child killing searches by masking them as programmer endorsed child killing kind.

[–] Solemarc@lemmy.world 23 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I like how at the start of the line it explicitly says "out of memory" but we're just pretending this is some satanic bullshit.

She obviously read the error to find "kill process" and "sacrifice child" but still ignored the memory error

[–] efstajas@lemmy.world 23 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Right, because non-technical people would be expected to understand what an "out of memory" error means

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 9 points 10 months ago (2 children)

The point is, it's cherry-picking

[–] chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 10 months ago (8 children)

You have so much to learn about people who feed into the Satanic panic. Cherry picking is by definition how they get there. One of Alex Jones biggest boggiemen for years was a subsection of a law that allowed medical testing on troops, and he always ignores the very next section that states that it all requires informed consent. Then lies and act like people would have no idea.

During covid he found an exercise that tried to assume 4 different future scenarios that may come into play, and ignored the positive leaning ones or nuetralish ones and went straight for the heavily authoritarian exercise because it used a possible pandemic as a background setting, then claimed it was all planned out and proof Covid was a bioweapon attack.

People like this willfully ignore things that give context, and will often repackage it without the context anytime they can.

What? How does her being weirded out about the words "sacrifice child" mean she ignored anything? It doesn't matter what triggered the error, she is questioning why the code has dark word combinations

Just wait until she learns child processes get aborted

[–] johannesvanderwhales@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago (1 children)

While most people on Lemmy are going to know what this means, the person who wrote this error message was definitely trying to be cute with that phrasing.

When sacrificing the child, use a dagger made from obsidian. Cut upward from below the sternum, then force the rib cage apart. Push the lungs aside with your hands, then cut out the heart with your ritual dagger. Hold the heart up to the cheering crowd, and then place it in an earthen vessel in honor of the gods. Kick the body down the steps of the temple pyramid.

[–] frezik@midwest.social 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This ritual is common, but it has a bug in it that can be traced back to a specific SacrificeOverflow comment.
