The real Linus Tech Tips (now with 100% less sexual harrassment).

Interesting. That reminds me, I need to update one of my scripts.

Honestly, it’s a programming focused instance, so I’m not quite sure how piracy even fits into it.

I think you and I have different visions of what the fediverse is. I don’t view this account as a “programming account on a programming forum, so all things should be programming related” if that’s what you are implying. I view instances as a comfortable home for my existence in the fediverse, where local communities may be programming related, but I still have access to the fediverse as a whole.

Much like I chose the city I live in based on the communities and amenities I prefer most of the time, but I can still travel anywhere else in the world any time I choose.

I’m against actual pirated content being federated here, but I would still like to see discussion about piracy if it is acceptable within the laws of @snowe’s home country.

I love that I can dump all my knowledge there and have it be easily searchable on my PC, phone, etc. I love that I can take notes, attach PDFs and images, or make my own canvases and excalidraw diagrams. It’s awesome and flexible.

I hate that it’s not FOSS. I appreciate that it’s an open format (plaintext Markdown files) and prefer closed app and open data to the reverse (Joplin is open source, but mangles notes into a database). I’m strongly considering giving logseq a try, but some of my favorite obsidian features have become a crutch that I don’t know if I want to live without.

I’m glad everything worked out in the end. I hope snowe learned a couple of lessons from this. One about how to interact and respect the lived experiences of marginalized peoples, but also a lesson about not engaging with hexbear trolls in the first place.

I don’t even know how to answer you because your argument is so fucking stupid. No, I don’t think a fry cook is a gamedev, and I have literally never in my life heard a fry cook identify as such.

Because gatekeeping.

Do you really work with memory, storage, and bandwidth? If so, have you EVER run across an instance where memory, storage, or bandwidth were referred to in millibits? Memory, storage, and bandwidth are extremely important in my job, though not my direct focus, and I can say over 50 years as a sysadmin and coder, I have never encountered “mb” and had it actually mean “millibits”. Literally not once. Now “Mb” definitely has some ambiguity (in bandwidth, it’s used for Megabits, and in memory/storage, it’s more often than not a typo of MB), but “mb” actually meaning “millibits”? No, friend. Just no.

They’re pretty fonts and they’re released under SIL Open Font License 1.1. I dig it.

What is your recommendation to use instead?

They’re both alternate spellings of the same thing. Yes JS/ES/Ruby and a few other languages use “RegExp” in their standard libraries. Henry Spencer referred to one of his regex libraries as “regexp” as far back as 1986. I prefer regex because that’s what I learned first, and it’s easier to say “regexes” when you want to pluralize it, but I’ve seen both forms pop up over the years.

/regexp?/

oof, that is a cringeworthy “ackchually” take, bro.

While jews and arabs are both semitic, the term Anti-Semitic was specifically coined as part of anti-Jewish campaigns in Germany in an attempt to give scientific-sounding credibility to their bigotry. Nobody actually uses “anti-semitic” to mean anti-arabic. Get real.

Who, the victim?

Naah. Impostor syndrome is a personal psychological phenomenon. I don’t think it is really connected to how you acquired your knowledge/skills or how much you know.

Because I paid for a lifetime sub like a decade ago and my parents and a few friends connect to my instance. I can’t be arsed to move myself and everybody else to a new system when this shit just works.

So it’s a remake of Da Ali G Show?

Whisky is just a Wine wrapper. It’s still Wine under the hood.

Have you actually tried that? It just works. Win11 isnt much more than a big Win10 feature update. We’ve updated a few hundred machines across several customers and they rarely required manual intervention.
