It was a good answer anyway

That’s funny, I dislike Ruby for probably the same reasons you like it. I don’t want a language that’s clever or elegant, I want it to do exactly what I say and nothing else. Lower level just makes more sense to me, I’d be a shit & unproductive software engineer.

People love to repeat this but it’s not as comforting as you think it is.

Thank you both for warning me against doing something like that.

Any way to read the article without the paywall?

Don’t forget waking up hungover, checking the time, and seeing you still have 3 hours to go in a loud metal tube.

They cite grsec, that guy is a notorious troll. I’ve seen customers apply their patches thoughtlessly, on bad advice, and bring down production systems. Linux security isn’t perfect (if it was I would be unemployed) but a lot of those problems are solved on properly configured modern systems.

The confusing line between ironic shitposting and genuine hatred, suddenly made clear when the community uplifts casual misogyny and transphobia. In theory there’s no logical connection between renting out property and bigotry, right? But in practice…

Nah, the 25 has a stylus. The 24 didn’t. The 26 won’t either.

Perchance

I do Linux research for a living and I barely give a shit.

The 7.62x51 NATO round used in AR-10/LR-308 pattern rifles isn’t the same as the common 7.62x39 used in AK-47 pattern rifles. But I’m sure getting NATO ammo isn’t exactly hard for them right now.

The best feedback I ever got on an assignment in grad school was “wow, your homework looks like a textbook!”

It may not always be correct, but it’s always pretty!

They usually don’t have a choice. They know this stuff is bad, but they need it to demonstrate compliance with XYZ framework so they can fill out the marketing copy so sales can land a contract with some big customer that wants to know why $competitor has better security than you.

I used to self host email and got sick of my emails never getting through. Email is federated in theory, but pretty centralized in practice. Paying for Proton was definitely worth it.

I’m not so sure. Anecdotally, lots of my friends stay up to date on news from various For You pages, or Instagram stories of orgs they follow. By being on this website you’re by definition someone who is active and selective about how they consume information, most people just consume what’s put in front of them.

Basically, it seems plausible to me. The headline is pretty trash though.

The actual data seems to suggest elder millennial, Gen X, and younger boomers do the best, while Gen z, younger millennial, and elder boomers do the worst. This kinda makes sense? The people that do the best have a frame of reference of traditional news media but also enough internet exposure to be familiar with the amount of bullshit out there. The people that do the worst have either limited familiarity with internet nonsense, or limited familiarity with traditional news media.

If an artist’s vision is sexualized children, maybe that artist needs an eye exam.

Some of these stores are planning to have food trucks and other event stuff during the strike to raise money for SBWU. So if you’re near one, check it out!

I’ve been running a private instance for about a week and would like to know some of these too. My understanding is the banned users are users that other instances ban, and that information also federates to you. For the other two questions, afaik dumping the db is the only way to check users? And I’m not sure about the timeouts. I find it helps to periodically restart the lemmy service(s) on a cron.
