It's a really really odd story. The article says that the accident was a minor crash, and that her vehicle sustained A$2000 worth of damage.

There's no way getting hit buy a bus going 110Kph doesn't total your vehicle. And if it was just a glancing blow, how do you go into renal failure from what's basically a fender bender? Severe whiplash maybe?

Perhaps it's just my armchair traffic injury analysis that's way off base, but it just seems to me like there's more to this story.

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"?

Yeah, searx and no looking back here too. The only downside is it's OotB experience isn't the best, so you should spend a minute configuring it to add more engines than just google. Oh, that and the occasional outages, but they seem to be less common lately.

Maybe you and your sister should RTFM together.

Just as a mild counterexample, I've personally changed my views quite drastically over my time on reddit and now lemmy, and most of it was from individuals just sharing their own perspective.

I held some latent bigotry and misogyny, part of which I picked in my day to day life, and partly from 4ch. I won't say I've eliminated it completely, but I think I've become a better person from my interactions online.

If we're not out here trying to actively learn from and help other people, then what the heck are we doing?

It does seem like something that could be fixed with better automated tooling, but should it be?

For tagging it isn't the post data that needs to be changed, but it's metadata, which seems more reasonable for mods to be able to change. I'm not familiar enough with Lemmy to know if that distinction exists under the hood.

While I agree, the best practice is one you can do regularly. If duo's gamification helps you keep actively studying, then while maybe not the best way, it's better than nothing.

Ideally the best use of duo is minimally, as a springboard to keep you doing other more immersive studying.

いや、大丈夫だよ。

Honestly though, I think it depends on the context. I think it's generally OK on open multilingual platforms especially with mixed audiences.

I see lots of English comments on Japanese vocaloid videos, for example, and I think most content creators enjoy having fans from abroad.

Apparently six apostrophes is equal to 182.88 cm. Seems like a rather arbitrary value to me.

Teaching my friend's kids about Linux and python, and watching a movie with them afterwards. Probably have a brewski or two.

It's actually kinda nice that he's not going full nose-dive straight into the ground. Getting a steady stream of users is better for Lemmy's culture, than a full exodus event, imo. It gives us a chance to not be reddit, but something better.

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?

That's not correct though. Just like most people don't want a car that'll spontaneously combust, they also don't want a car that will be likely to be vandalised. I'm not saying it's justified, but continued vandalism does lower the utility value of the vehicle and dissuades future purchases of would be buyers.

I asked this question during Trump's first presidency, and was met with scoffing and incredulity. Guess it's starting to look a bit more reasonable now.

Mon dieu!

The AI industry certainly does.

If you're going to use an LLM, it's pretty straightforward to roll your own with something like LM Studio, though.

Damnit, I'm going to see this everywhere now, aren't I?

Shocking. You shitcan the infosec practices and human resources you've built up for decades, and then wonder why your new seive doesn't make a good bucket.

We've got some absolute geniuses running things here.

OK, you asked for it. I'm binding super+P to open pornhub in a private window.

I kinda thought that's what they were getting at, that there are other brands that deserved scorn just as badly, and we generally don't take out our frustrations on the owners.
