Reminds me of an old soviet joke:

Q: Now that Stalin has died, what happened to his cult of personality?
A: The personality has died, that is true, but the cult lives on.

"Advanced Privacy" app on /e/-os (opensource android ROM) sends me occasional notifications about apps with most trackers haha. Also has a "wall of shame" (it's literally called that) where you can browse the worst offending apps

This is just the standard mac os experience to be honest

Pretty sure there is a sizeable demographic of people who fantasize about falling in love with an elf precisely because their relationship would be like that of a pet and owner

EDIT why did I have to go and type that out. Cannot stop thinking about 1000 year old condescending dommy mommy elf GF now. fml

The original headline is "'No Way to Prevent This' says only country where this regularly happens". If you look closely at OP's meme, you can actually see the font changes after the "only" (baseline is slightly lower; uses lighter color; kerning of eve in "Prevent" is completely different )

But yeah shit take anyway, just because the US is famous for shootings doesn't mean that it's any more dangerous than other country

I personally pronounce it with a hard G even when talking about the mythical creature because that's how it's pronounced in most other languages that have a similar word. Anglos can go fuck themselves with their needlessly complicated phonetics.

Just for anyone else in the thread: this doesn't work lmao.

I used to be depressed and anxious af. Took a break from uni, moved back in with my parents, went to therapy, got better, joined a book club, started hanging out more at social centers and talking to people, got a part-time job as a waiter, started working out and paying attention to my looks... still no gf. You can't become a successful person by merely going through the motions of what you think a successful person's life looks like. You can't cargo cult your way into happiness.

You know this will only make people want to dig deeper, right? Whoever is paying you off to pretend like nothing is going on should've really told you to use an alt or something.

Can we stop with this subtle EU propaganda slop? I LIVE in an EU country and I have the exact same problem with modern movies. This has nothing to do with who gets to make the laws, there are only two reasons why everything needs subtitles now:

  • Because of advancements in microphone technologies, actors don't need to speak as clearly and are getting lazy as a result.
  • Movies producers are assholes who think that everyone has a 50000$ surround sound home theater system and master the movie soundtracks accordingly -- which makes explosions and action scenes sound WAY TOO LOUD on normal people sound systems.

I love how new versions of the CLI have the result automatically update as you type. Nice to see people going above and beyond to make CLI's pleasant!

Explanation for newbies: setuid is a special permission bit that makes an executable run with the permissions of its owner rather than the user executing it. This is often used to let a user run a specific program as root without having sudo access.

If this sounds like a security nightmare, that's because it is.

In linux, setuid is slowly being phased out by Capabilities. An example of this is the ping command which used to need setuid in order to create raw sockets, but now just needs the cap_net_raw capability. More info: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/382771/why-does-ping-need-setuid-permission. Nevertheless, many linux distros still ship with setuid executables, for example passwd from the shadow-utils package.

 

Explanation for newbies: The GNU/Linux copypasta is an argument made by Richard Stallman that the operating system should be referred to as "GNU/Linux" or "GNU+Linux" because linux is just the kernel and what makes it useful are the various GNU programs and libraries like coreutils and glibc.

Alpine Linux is a linux distribution that ships without any GNU software (though it can be installed using the package manager).

 
 
 
 
 
 

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 errors
      • set -u: treat references to undefined variables as errors
      • set -o pipefail: If a command piped into another command fails, treat that as an error
    • export 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.
