didn’t say another word to me for the next 4 years

Sounds like you made the best decision of your life that day.

pig goes in the pig aisle

You’re going to be really happy when you find out it’s a whole gif!

It’s just an infantile misspelling of the word “penis”. It’s a holdover from an era when people thought a yellow dog saying “much wow” was funny.

Yes, I do have a death wish. Why do you ask?

I’m currently at the second, kinda scared of the third but maybe a little excited? I was thinking I should join a religion about it.

pretty sure his name is Ratatouille

mnnst: Reads from a file or stdin and outputs only the lines that begin with at least a given number of whitespace characters.

w: Displays the users currently logged in on the system.

h: Outputs “–help\n” to stdout continuously until SIGINT is sent to it.

llns: Reads from a file or stdin and outputs the same lines with the line number prepended to them, optionally with padding zeroes.

ndn: Parses a file path and outputs the number of directories the file is nested in (absolute).

One of those is real btw.

come over and find out

Aren’t you basically just describing FOSS and framing it as a complaint? Valve for example has a vested interest in improving their software stack, and they do just that by donating both money and engineers to various projects. If these open source projects did not exist, they would have to spend the same or even more money on a proprietary licensed alternative, or to develop their own solution.

I wish that news articles would actually cite how they know things

Yep. When I actually started reading some news articles and quickly found out that I was on my own if I want to learn more or verify what I just read, really put me off that stuff.

When I actually post something informative, it seems crazy to not include the links I already have anyway. And make sure it’s viewable in the wayback machine if it’s something so predictably ephemeral…

Here’s a handy flowchart for checking if a website has had CSAM uploaded to it:

Has the site ever allowed file uploads by users?

-> No: Users have not uploaded any CSAM.

-> Yes: The site has had CSAM uploaded to it.

If you’re willing to believe a couple of random news outlets:

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2024/dec/9/altoona-pennsylvania-mcdonald-reviews-go-negative-/

Not hard to imagine thag G**gle would be on the case, deleting reviews by now.

Helicopter, obviously!

That shading work on the meme tho, excellent

If you want to mess with the command line, I recommend tldr. Anyone could do xkcd’s tar challenge if they can run tldr tar first! (pretty sure it’s in mint’s apt repos)

OP, if this is from youtube, please upload to archive.org with the “standard” item ID “youtube-<video_id>” and include other metadata as well.

If it’s not from youtube, mark the source otherwise, and include metadata, if you can.

yt-dlp --write-info-json --write-description --write-thumbnail --all-subs --ignore-errors -f bestvideo+bestaudio -- <video_id_or_link>

Not sure about the number, but I know the popup began with the words “We value your privacy”

What I wouldn’t give to be normal

The checksum was verified when the bag was handed to you. You should not have ACKed the transfer if it didn’t check out at your end. We cannot be responsible for what you did to it afterwards.
