Imagine sexting smelling like fish…

 assert triangleObject.shouldFitInHole(triangleHole) == true

assert triangleObject.shouldFitInHole(squareHole) == false

Randomly rearranging non working code one doesn’t understand… sometimes gets working code, sometimes doesn’t fix the bug, sometimes it won’t even compile anymore? Has no clue what the problem is and only solves it randomly by accident?

Sounds like the LLM is as capable as me /s

Technically correct, but back, when Reddit allowed 3rd party apps, I did get the occasional “Hey you lost something” comment, as some apps had a broken markdown rendered that wouldn’t display it without.

Also it can have side effects if you use an underscore in the same paragraph or use it twice in a row, as it then suddenly can render as italic.

¯\_(ツ)/¯ Not sure how Lemmy reacts, though ¯\_(ツ)/¯

Although I know this, I cannot remember where I need to escape. So I just have two custom autocorrections: shrug which yields the regular (and broken on Lemmy) ¯_(ツ)_/¯ for general use and shrugmd with the markdown variant for the use on e.g. Lemmy: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

In the end it’s:

    shrug: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 
    shrugmd: ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯ 

because it won’t let you do that:

elvith@testvm:~$ sudo rm -fr /

rm: it is dangerous to operate recursively on ‘/’

rm: use --no-preserve-root to override this failsafe

Easy: Just have him in a headlock and then hit right on target until you win. He didn’t think this through…

Yes, though you could also do rm -rf /* afaik to not need --no-preserve-root

Edit: I just realized that the * is already in the meme. So this should already work as is. Alternatively you could always use the good old way of “act now and remove all French roots of your system: rm -fr / --no-preserve-root”

I can see dead memes!

Since almost everything on the right would be located in /home/<username> on the left, it should include some of the subdirectories of %windir%\

Interesting… I got the retail version back then and it was bundled with Steam and did check your account on every start (or required a steam client running with the title in the library). It even had a warning label on the box stating that it needed a steam account and that the CD key would be linked to your account. But I do not remember it using Securom. Which checks out, as I vaguely remember buying I after Christmas.

Maybe it got removed later? I can find some discussions in the steam forums arguing about the drm from about 10 years ago, and other more recent discussion where people are wondering why it has no more drm - e.g. this comment describing the same procedure as I did above

Fun fact: My Steam accounts lists that it was created in July 31st 2004, although Steam was released on September 12th 2004. I guess they just added a random date on old accounts that didn’t have a date registered?

Wait… Half Life 2 is the game that forced me to install steam, create an account and wasn’t playable without it is “now” in this list and is DRM free?

Companies need to get comfortable not owning my money!

It’s the other way round: Education makes for less gullible people and for workers that demand more rights more freely and easily - and then those are coming for their yachts…

In the end it’s about money. If one had to pay for environmentally damages (e.g. a new tax on $energyUnit, $resourceUnit,…) and you’d not only pay for the resources + some markup for the producing company and just external externalize the “worth” of the damages (read: the taxpayer,…), then it’s cheaper to use these services instead of humans.

My head canon is, that they’re analyzing posts and comments and used that to weed out bots in the past. “Oh, this looks like 90% of our content - it’s a human” - “Oh, this doesn’t look like 90% of our content, probably a bot”. Now the baseline shifted and everyone who is not a bot triggers it and gets banned.

It’s encrypted anonymous communication capabilities.

Unless you enable it for every single chat (and IIRC only available for chats with only two persons, not group chats) there’s no encryption. Or did they change that? The only encryption that applies to most chats on that platform should be transport encryption via TLS.

The baffled men are meeting now their maker.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah!

These are all software defined social networking, aren’t they?

Basically it means to not have a special designed hardware for task X but to do much of it in software which gives you more flexibility. And also let’s you configure and use X a bit more flexible.

E.g. software defined networking: If you run several virtual machines on a server, you may define the whole network between them virtually in software instead of doing it on the hardware side. Sure, you still need an ethernet card in your server to connect it to other servers and the internet, but all load balancing, switches, firewalls, VLANs, etc. between the virtual machines (or containers) on your server are virtualized in software - or maybe eben between servers.

Same goes for e.g. Software Defined Radio. In the early days you had dedicated hardware to control the mobile network and the antennas and such. Today you “just” have the antenna and a transceiver that is capable of producing and receiving a wide range of signals and modulations. All encoding, decoding and interpretation the signals is done in software. If your hardware is capable enough, the upgrade from e.g. 4G to 5G may only be a software update for all base stations.
