Whats the point of writing prn, f@ck, sht or anything like that instead of the actual words? You can still read them, its not like they are gone if you replace a letter or two.
There are plenty of people who are completely comfortable with their partners being strippers or porn stars.
From a purely logical standpoint, given the number of strippers and porn stars out there, that statement must be true. It’s not quite something I can wrap my head around though.
As a python developer and user of websites, please no. The web is already a slow mess and my laptop is already spinning up fans on some websites that really shouldn’t do anything much more complicated than load text and images from a database and display them. CPython would make it exponentially worse. At least pick a sensible performance focused implementation.
I’m asking this because one time, while browsing the GNU website, I noticed that some of the members’ emails had “gmail” on them!! And I asked myself how would that be possible?? And I think other members of the FSF had Gmail too. Why? Richard Stallman is against Gmail, so why would those memberse use it?? Would that...
As you say, 25 is not old at all. As long as you keep socializing with friends and coworkers, pursue IRL hobbies ideally social ones, etc. as you mention, I don’t think it matters much if it takes you 6 months or >5 years to reach your fitness goals.
The only people I’d consider “”“lost cases”“” I know personally are shut-ins who have long mentally parted ways with baseline humanity. An inability to have a decent conversation with people is harder to fix than being overweight and becomes more of a problem with each year of age. But you seem to be on the right track there!
I can (and do) just read the ~/ssh/.config file if needed, it’s quite legible. In most cases however zsh autocompletion does all the heavy lifting for me (ssh ser(tab) -> ssh servername).
Still a cool idea for a script, and if it works well for you more power to you, just saying there’s more ergonomic and universally applicable solutions. (Only mentioning this since you said “I couldn’t find a decent solution to this problem”).
some scifi universe where they hand out anti aging perfect health pills like tic tacs. That would probably be a pretty interesting place to check out for some time. If it’s an innate ability to travel and I don’t have to worry about getting stuck in a universe, I’d probably want to check out some questions like “what if the Roman empire collapsed way earlier?” or “what if someone killed Hitler as a child?” or “what if religion didn’t have such an appeal to people?” (though I suspect I’d be going back to the first universe with the last question).
Eh, I don’t know, I’m not yet convinced mind uploading is philosophically unproblematic. I’d rather get as much use as possible out of the ol’ meat mecha before considering that.
Just wanted to share my experience with notesnook as a daily note taking and information organizer app. The free tier is fairly barebones but you can use it for simple stuff, but I’ll say that the paid $50 per year tier is really nice.

How is it a “trap” to spend an hour or two configuring a tool to your exact needs, which you will then probably be using literally every day for years.
It will be a cold day in hell when I consider using any software running on Someone Else’s Computers ™ for journalling or note taking. Even less so when there are a number of FOSS, self-hostable, highly configurable and feature-rich solutions out there (I personally am partial to Trilium).
I’ve tried to figure some of this stuff out but I really don’t know what I’m doing. Most documentation is written with a vocabulary I don’t understand. Tutorials assume a high-level understanding of coding, software, CLI and a bunch of other stuff....
why linux will never be a viable solution on the desktop
Has been pretty viable for me for the last 7 years or so.
why self hosting will never take off
Literally who cares, the community stands to gain nothing from another few million novice users who don’t even know or care to learn how to formulate a question or usable bug report.
I was recently on holiday where most of the other guests in our hotel were 50-70 year old Germans.
The breakfast buffet at our hotel had a large scale coffee maker which could do some surprisingly good freshly ground coffee. What it could also do is spit instant coffee into your mug and pour hot water on top.
In two weeks I never saw someone (other than me) draw anything but fucking instant coffee from that thing.
Either its no concern for the Lemmy community, then it should stay because it may be an issue for the fediverse in whole or its a concern then it shouldn’t be deleted.
About 25 min across the city by motorcycle, or ~35 min by subway, twice a week. I enjoy driving so I mostly do the former unless the weather is truly shitty.
What I like about it: splitting lanes in the morning traffic jam. Wheee!
What I hate about it: Nothing, but I’d prefer 25 min across the countryside instead of the city
My good ol 2+ year Plex server host has been banned again. I have given up on this, I do not have access to an obscure server with few customers that will avoid future bans....
Agreed, as long as you handle the HTTPS or VPN setup, and set up any automatic media downloading ( jellyseer, sonarr and radarr and jackett) the end product is certifiably wife approved and works nicely out of the box
I have a Chromecast Ultra connected by ethernet to my network. There’s an android app with a cast functionality which we both use with our respective accounts. I also hear good things about the Android TV and roku clients (but have neither myself)
Of course, it’s forbidden, that’s definitely a more parsimonious explanation than people simply not being interested in reading rape allegations on a tech news aggregator, a technical mailing list or a Github issues page, of all places.
To clarify, I am alleging that a lot of this “censorship” is just mods deleting posts which have been sufficiently downvoted by people like me who are not particularly interested in the alleged sexual crimes or social justice plights of people, especially when we actually want to read about tech. Give me a way to filter this out a priori or use dedicated channels to discuss it and I won’t have to downvote it.
To use your analogy, write your warnings to stderr which I can easily redirect to /dev/null while still consuming the program output, and we’re golden.
That’s all too bad and obviously I’d rather everyone was well behaved and happy. But I’m sorry to say I still don’t care enough to want to constantly read about this stuff in spaces that are supposed to be about technology (in the case of technical mailing lists and Github issues, literally exclusively) instead of people.
I don’t know what your exact issue with Hackernews is, I rarely visit it.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine made me realize the fundamental wisdom of the saying “Speak softly and carry a big stick”. A country without the means to defend itself isn’t “peaceful”, it’s just that, defenseless.
A few years ago we were able to upgrade everything (OS and Apps) using a single command. I remember this was something we boasted about when talking to Windows and Mac fans.

adjust accordingly for Fedora and/or snaps. Obviously doesn’t work for appimages or manually compiled stuff which should be a last resort if there’s no other sensible way to install stuff.

How is that a complicated alias? Seems pretty straightforward to me. But again, if you prefer a shell script which does the same thing but separated line by line, also fine

Yeah, RIP German piracy community. Always a huge PITA to find German movies online. I wasn’t aware one company is driving most of those lawsuits though, what a wild story. Can’t fault them for finding a great business model though
Do you really wanna make a species close to self annihilation multiplanetary though? It’s probably pretty easy to nudge a few asteroids the wrong way given the right drive technology…so not sure space colonies would change the likelihood of doom.
The range is just a number. Name another number. From my experience, chances are if they want you for the job they’ll make a counteroffer, not outright reject jou if your offer is too high.
I know this will vary a lot, so hypothetically let’s say you currently WFH/work remotely at least 3 days a week. Your commute to work takes an hour max (door to door) each way. If you were given the choice of a 4 day week working onsite, or a 5 day week WFH (or as many days as you’d like) for the same pay, which would you...

I don’t think a civilization which would destroy their home with the single-minded goal of spreading throughout the universe in the blink of an eye should be allowed to spread beyond their local star system at all. Maybe re-evaluate after giving them a few centuries to mature.

Is every second person on this fucking website suicidal? I guess the “lemmings” checks out.
As for me, it would have to be a number of people that, by their sudden absence, manifestly affects the life of people I do know and care about. Like, at least a billion or so if randomly chosen
edit: and that means possibly fewer if not random and more focused on my geographical location. If 100 mio die on my continent alone then the rest is still pretty screwed.
I think this is mostly a US thing. Why use yearly salary? You’re not paid once a year, are you? Most likely once a month. Referencing monthly salary makes much more sense....
My bad, I didn’t get notified someone replied to my comment and only just checked. As mentioned below in this thread, I meant we get 14 monthly salary payments, where “months” 13 and 14 are less taxed and are tacked onto a summer and winter month as a holiday and christmas bonus, respectively.
