enkers

I feel like someone was having a giggle, then it went a bit too far.

Joggoly Poff!

Just a reminder that corporations aren’t your friends, and especially not Open AI. The data you give them can and will be used against you.

If you find confiding in an LLM helps, run one locally. Get LM Studio, and try various models from hugging face.

Ughhhh…

Looks like the Brits were trying to follow a recipe for poutine, but transcribed it as “peas” instead of “cheese”.

“Two Trucks in my ass.”

Eleven and twelve still do kinda follow base 10 rules. They literally mean “one left” (ain-lif) and “two left” (twa-lif) with the “over ten” being implied.

I’m not quite sure why we have different words for those two, though. Maybe when we added the 'teens, those two just sounded better than firsteen and seconteen?

People need to get less creepy hobbies than neighbour stalking. Like, god, if you’re that bored, go watch YouTube or smth.

Then it gets used for approximately 2 minutes before being discovered to be garbage, and summarily tossed in a landfill. 🤦‍♀️

I think VPN is the proper way to go about this, but another method is to do port knocking with fkwnop so your SSH port won’t respond until the host receives a magic packet.

That’s not the only point though. IIRC, they also remove telemetry, and pocket as well as some other things. I personally turn back on persistent sessions and history, but leave all the other privacy features there.

Asides from the kinda-shady crypto stuff and the other things that’ve already been mentioned, just philosophically it should be kinda evident that over-concentration on one corporate controlled rendering engine isn’t a good thing. Google wants the internet to be a walled garden with themselves as the sole decision makers so they can stuff ads down your throat.

Gecko’s web compat is bad largely because of this over-concentration.

That is the default behaviour, but it’s pretty trivial to change. Also, I’d imagine the distro maintainer could choose to change the default settings as part of a post-install script, if they wanted to.

Edit: Not sure why you’re being downvoted, as I do think it’s a valid concern.

While FF’s evil quotient has been on the rise, Brave definitely isn’t a better option. If anything, librewolf is the way to go.

Could also be explained be recency bias.

I just occasionally go back to shill for Lemmy. Pretty sure that hurts them more than helps. :D

Let me think of a good name for it. Let’s see, it hangs and holds a banana. How about we call it the “banana hammock”?

Maybe you and your sister should RTFM together.

Could someone perhaps explain the major use cases or give a real life example of a time you’ve needed to use awk? I’ve been using Linux casually for quite a long time now, and although I learned the basics of the tool, I can’t recall having ever felt I had a need for it. If I want to glue a bunch of cli stuff together and need to do some text processing, it generally seems like it’d be easier to just use a simple python script.

Is it more for situations that need to be compatible with most *nix systems and you might not necessarily have access to a higher level scripting language?

Mon dieu!
