This reminds of how when the unicode consortium had to add flag emojis, instead of opening the can of worms on what countries are independent or not, they just noped out of it and let the implementers decide which combinations of regional indicator letters render as country flags.
Yeah, time to slam that word out of existence!
Nah, no need to bring those back. The role is already filled by microplastics and PFAS
Aside from the political stuff, I'm also concerned about proton from a technological standpoint. You can't use a standard mail client with proton, you have to use their own. So, if they wanted to, they could push out a single malicious update which would render all of the end-to-end encryption stuff pointless. You could argue that using Thunderbird + GPG + Gmail is more secure/private.
Now I'm curious, how hard would it be to write a lemmy bot that mimics Stinky's behavior just to troll people lol. Ask generic questions like "I don't understand, could someone explain please?" on random posts and then reply with k to any answer with over 4 lines of text. Like a simpler but much more infuriating version of that Tobllort account from the other site.
What does privacy badger do that isn't covered by UO? Is it worth it to install privacy badger if I already use a browser like librewolf that nukes all data every time it's restarted?
A lot of people seem to think that all ai art is low effort garbage, which is just not true. There can be a lot of skill put into crafting the correct prompt to get the image you want from an image generator, not to mention the technical know-how of setting it up locally. The "ai art is not art" argument to me doesn't sound any more substantiated than "electronic musicians aren't musicians, go learn a real instrument" or "photographers aren't really artists, all they do is push a button". But regardless, I agree that we need good tagging, or as @ThatWeirdGuy1001 said, different communities. Even though the output looks similar, actually drawing things and wrangling prompts are two completely different skillsets, and the way we engage with the artistic product of those skills is completely different. You wouldn't submit a photo you took to a watercolor painting contest. Same with ai art and non-ai art.
Anyway, just thought i'd share my opinion as an ai non-hater.
if they finally decide to turn full evil.
Yeah this is the brave experience. Free and open source product that behaves as advertised... from a company that acts like they're perpetually on the brink of fucking you over. Really hope this doesn't happen, brave's approach to antifingerprinting is actually quite interesting and completely different to what we see in the firefox-based hardened browsers.
I really wish this "haha furries bad" joke would just die already. It's not funny, even ironically.
I mean nowadays its more like
Explanation for newbies:
Shell is the programming language that you use when you open a terminal on linux or mac os. Well, actually "shell" is a family of languages with many different implementations (bash, dash, ash, zsh, ksh, fish, ....)
Writing programs in shell (called "shell scripts") is a harrowing experience because the language is optimized for interactive use at a terminal, not writing extensive applications
The two lines in the meme change the shell's behavior to be slightly less headache-inducing for the programmer:
set -euo pipefail is the short form of the following three commands:
set -e: exit on the first command that fails, rather than plowing through ignoring all errorsset -u: treat references to undefined variables as errorsset -o pipefail: If a command piped into another command fails, treat that as an errorexport LC_ALL=C tells other programs to not do weird things depending on locale. For example, it forces seq to output numbers with a period as the decimal separator, even on systems where coma is the default decimal separator (russian, dutch, etc.).The title text references "posix", which is a document that standardizes, among other things, what features a shell must have. Posix does not require a shell to implement pipefail, so if you want your script to run on as many different platforms as possible, then you cannot use that feature.
It's funny when armchair experts insist that the fediverse won't catch on because "federation is too hard to understand" when arguably the most widespread communication system on the internet follows the same model
