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.

Does he?! Oh, what a strange coincidence. 😁

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.

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?

Kelcy Warren, the founder and CEO of Energy Transfer, said the main purpose of the lawsuit against Greenpeace was to “send a message” rather than to collect money. A major Trump supporter and the mastermind of the lawsuit, Warren once said activists “should be removed from the gene pool”.

Wow. What a piece of shit. Sounds like this CEO seriously needs some more green in his life. 🌱

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!

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

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

Really? Is this something that can be taught?

Not cause I want to know or anything, but uhh, y’know… for a friend.

It’s kinda a damned if you do, damned if you don’t situation. If you follow the ABC (anything but conservative) “strategic” crowd, then you slowly push Canada towards a two party system. If you vote for someone who actually represents your political views, then you potentially help get PP elected.

This is why proportional representation is so important, and why I single-issue voted for Trudeau, as he promised to fix what is in my opinion the biggest problem with our current political system. The Liberals proved they can’t be trusted to properly follow through on their promises, so I can’t, in good conscience, give them my vote again until they prove themselves trustworthy.

There are plenty of forageable mushrooms with no look-alikes. If you’re cautious and thorough, it’s not particularly risky.

And by thorough, I mean:

• actually learning to properly identity mushrooms before you ever consider eating them
• learning from someone else with experience
• verifying that what you’re learning is correct in a book (for your specific region) and on the internet

While I pretty much agree, I can definitely think of a few sporadic times doing sysadmin where things have gone so significantly wrong that an enforced sanity-check on every sudo command would have been appreciated.

Oh well, guess I’m eating pasta this month. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

“Frites” is a portmanteau of the words “French” and “frites”, so it’s still just “frites”.

Incidentally, when translating the word “frites” to English, you can’t be certain of how many instances of the word “French” you need to add, and the only way to be certain is to ask the original author. This has led to many difficulties in translating posthumous works.
