  • Hmm, I think this is an Mbin vs Lemmy issue. There are two differences in the URL:

    1. The broken URL has %2C instead of ,. This part does not make a difference, because that resolves to a comma anyway
    2. The broken URL has = at the very end for some reason. This is what breaks it. Remove that character, and the URL works fine

    The weird thing here is that the broken URL only ever shows up on Mbin. Below are a few different links to the comment in which you shared the broken URL. If you view the comment on your Mbin instance, it is indeed broken. But if you view it on this community's Lemmy instance or my home instance, your same comment actually has the working URL. Something about how the post/comment were federated must have messed things up.

  • Is that not literally the same link as the OP?

    EDIT: Ah, the OP's edit from 30 minutes before your comment has not federated out to your instance yet.

  • It doesn't make sense. I understand it, but it doesn't make sense.

  • Are you just referring to how Python uses the English and/or instead of the more common &&/||? I think what the user above you was talking about was Lua's strange ternary syntax using and/or.

  • A little less formal than an e-mails.

  • But it’s trivial to use an external tool to see who voted on what regardless of whose account it is

    Is there a tool made for this out there? As far as I'm aware, the simplest way for the average user to do that is to run their own instance and then manually query its database directly, which is far from trivial.

  • I think the final Kelpien design was the better choice. Sci-fi prosthetics are always awful, and while Saru turned out fairly decent, I doubt this would have had a similar outcome:

  • Wow, I misread "HM" as "HAHA" and had a different expectation of what the bottom text was going to be

  • May I go ahead and chisel your aromasphere?

    I was thinking the League, but yes, that P&R scene was almost certainly inspired by the vaportini trend.

  • Although if you put it in vape form…

    Vaportini was a short-lived trend that did not end up taking off.

  • This article does clearly state that both prices are USD, but everywhere else indicates that the price is 1000 CAD.

  • There doesn't need to be any evidence. This is something that is impossible to prove one way or the other, like Last Thursdayism.

  • Yes, this particular incident.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XZ_Utils_backdoor

    In February 2024, a malicious backdoor was introduced to the Linux build of the xz utility within the liblzma library in versions 5.6.0 and 5.6.1 by an account using the name "Jia Tan".[b][4] The backdoor gives an attacker who possesses a specific Ed448 private key remote code execution through OpenSSH on the affected Linux system. The issue has been given the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures number CVE-2024-3094 and has been assigned a CVSS score of 10.0, the highest possible score.[5]

    Microsoft employee and PostgreSQL developer Andres Freund reported the backdoor after investigating a performance regression in Debian Sid.[8] Freund noticed that SSH connections were generating an unexpectedly high amount of CPU usage as well as causing errors in Valgrind,[9] a memory debugging tool.[10]

  • Immediately get noticed

    Realistically, though, we are only aware of that one because it was noticed in that unlikely scenario and then widely reported. For all we know, most open source backdoors are alive and well in our computers, having gone unnoticed for years.

  • You get me closer to God

  • For when you want to delete everything in the root directory, but absolutely need to keep the directory itself.

  • Which came first, your username or your avatar?

  • You can open me in Vim, Greg. Am I a file?
