Exercise 6:
set -e
f() { false; echo survived; }
if ! f; then :; fi
That one was fun to learn.
Even with all the jank and unreliability, I think set -e does still have some value as a last resort for preventing unfortunate accidents. As long as you don’t use it for implicit control flow, it usually (exercise 6 notwithstanding) does what it needs to do and fails early when some command unexpectedly returns an error.
And the vast majority of the English-language corpus available will reflect Western, imperial core liberal politics.
Oh, I’m sure that isn’t going to be a problem for their goals. They can always overrepresent training data from 2016-2020 and 2024-2028 to add some balance to the model’s political compass. /s
Oh cool, I was banned from there last month.
An important thing to consider: Mastodon doesn’t have an “algorithm” for presenting posts in your subscription feed.
That doesn’t mean it “does not have an algorithm” entirely, though. There’s a couple of non-trivial ones being used to recommend friends and calculate the trending posts and tags that show up on the front page, and they do actually consider likes/shares as part of scoring.
>Mom, can we get quality options?
>Mom: We have quality options at home.
>Quality options at home:
Being serious though: the problem isn’t so much that we don’t have options, as much as it’s that devs are pushed towards rapid release cycles without appropriate optimization while at the same time modern titles are too focused on graphical fidelity and gimmicks over artistic style.
It’s almost like companies don’t want to pay extra money on every device for a feature the vast majority of consumers would never use… good thing DisplayPort is free, or we’d get neither.
Do users actually have a choice to ignore updates again? When I last touched Windows, it would forcibly install minor updates without giving much control to disable it other than setting a time range where it wasn’t allowed to force a reboot.
Another perspective: do you trust the average consumer to ever update WinRAR or 7zip? If it’s baked into Windows, at least Microsoft can patch any exploits that are discovered.
yq can do both JSON and YAML :)
It’s not as useful, sadly. Nohup disconnects standard input, output, and error. With screen or tmux, you can reattach them later.
No idea, but I can tell you where they will be after President Elmo is done with them: defanged, and run by a one-man skeleton crew whose only job is to sweep the floor every Friday night.
Brendan Carr, whom Mr. Trump has named as the incoming F.C.C. chair, has been a strong critic of net neutrality. The court’s opinion “puts to bed an issue that unnecessarily sucked up a lot of oxygen in tech and telecom for two decades now,” said Evan Swarztrauber, a former policy adviser to Mr. Carr.
In a statement, Mr. Carr said that he was “pleased” by the decision and that “the work to unwind the Biden administration’s regulatory overreach will continue.”
Sincerely, go fuck yourself, Brendan Carr.
Net neutrality isn’t regulatory overreach. It’s overdue regulation to prevent cable companies from being able to manipulate traffic and throttle connections as a way to extort more money out of consumers and other companies.
But, hey, you’re probably fine paying another $25 for a “4k streaming video package” that increases bandwidth for YouTube and Netflix, along with a $60 “online gaming package” that removes some artificial 150ms RTT latency. Asshole.
Seven additional words: Apt installing snaps instead of Debian packages
I just need to learn Diet Haskell first…
And at the same time, they’re using Android phones…
Fun… Another Hola VPN.
As of last year, they were doing it with Windows 10. Either they stopped pushing it for Windows 10, or the article just doesn’t bother listing the older Windows version. If you’re willing to believe a fellow Lemmy user who said it hit them on Windows 10 this year, it’s probably the latter.
If you are a new user of a ROG, ROG Strix, TUF Gaming or Prime motherboard and using Windows 10 (Creators Update/ 1903 or later) or Windows 11, you will see a pop-up dialog that invites you to install Armoury Crate during the initial boot of your PC. To install, simply click ‘OK’ and the software will be automatically downloaded and installed.
There’s plenty of reasons to hate Windows 11, but this Christmas banner debacle isn’t one of them unless you’re also willing to concede that Windows 8, 8.1, and 10 are also all garbage for including the same mechanism which allows vendors to provide run-on-boot executables that bypass clean reinstalls.
For what it’s worth mentioning, I’m in the camp where any operating system that allows system integrators to automatically inject their own shitty software into a fresh install of the operating system without my consent is bad.
The feature that allows manufacturers to push software onto clean installs has existed since Windows 8. If you’re advertising for Windows 10, you might want to try again.

Jokes aside, that might work. I’ll try it next time.
