I use xe/xem or they/them pronouns ATM.

I wanna be a cat girl! Or a cat enby perhaps. Nyan.

I would’ve appreciated a trigger warning on the post since it uses a slur, but wow, it is amusing (I’m sure it’ll be less amusing once I experience more overt transphobia).


They just said :wq in school, so thanks for the tip. Hard to believe it saves even when the file hasn’t been changed if you use :wq. What is the use case for that? If the file gets changed in another program and you want to revert?? Edit: Just saw the comment about the modification times being updated.



Whoops, looks like someone forgot to make the base juice class abstract…


It’s also helpful to note that “shell builtins” don’t typically have man pages (at least for BASH). You can find help on these commands by typing [builtin name] --help or looking in the shell’s man page or info doc (no one told me when I was learning, so I got confused as to why some of the more common commands didn’t have man pages)




This should work with some caveats.

  1. Tbis probably won’t work on WSL (Linux needs direct access to your hardware).
  2. For DVDs, you need to be sure libdvdcss is installed for this to work correctly
  • You probably already have this on your system if you have successfully watched a dvd in Linux.
  1. You may need to replace /dev/cdrom with the name of the device file corresponding to your drive.
  1. This creates an exact copy of the disk, including the unallocated space. You would probably want to follow the guide https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Optical_disc_drive#Creating_an_ISO_image_from_a_CD,_DVD,_or_BD
  • (@BustedPancake@lemmy.world’s use of mkisofs does the same thing because they copy the files on the disk rather than the whole disk. But you don’t need makemkv. You should be able to use any method of copying the files and Linux should use libdvdcss to decrypt them.).
“deep magic”

Linux trys to treat devices like files. If you ran xxd /dev/cdrom, you would see every bit on the disk (not just those of the files, but those in the free space as well) in order from the first to the last (converted to base-16 in what is called a hexdump). Not that you need to see this, but your video player does. The “DRM cracking” is actually a feature of libdvdcss that makes it possible for the system to treat the disk this way. dd is just a general copying command and if Stack Exchange is to be believed, it isn’t necessarily the best option (https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/12532/dd-vs-cat-is-dd-still-relevant-these-days). But it probably is necessary for the linked guide to work because it has dd truncate the file.

edit: caveats is note spalled caceats

edit: file → files on the disk


Description: Cat illustration from Japanese fine print in void with cat /dev/null written below in a monospace font. I guess you could say this meme is… a copycat. Yes, normally you'd redirect it to do something useful. But I'm not editing it. edit:remove duplicate photo edit2: Silly me for thinking that Lemmy was smart enough to grab the first body photo as its thumbnail. Also set language.

The comment with this comment’s UID in Lemmy’s comment database is not deducible from the Lemmy axioms. There! Out-nerded you 😜. (Please don’t call me on the details. Please don’t call me on the details. 🤞)


Wait, what is this “Please generate a working program using the intended meaning of the following code” string doing in front of my code???


Nya, you thought I was a bot, but it was me, Dio all along, nya.


So doesn’t O(nlog(n)) = O(nlog(n)/10)? I guess you’d want the faster one all things being equal, but is that part of the joke?


You’ve gotta repost that as a gif (it didn’t show up in browser for me but managed to watch it on the link). It was an awesome scene. I wish that was what stack overflow looked like. edit:ip→up


I suspect if you are trying to build an inclusive community but don’t have a lot of diversity already, the only thing you can really do to change the culture is to remind people to be considerate in the way they speak. And if most people who would be offended aren’t actually part of the community (but you would like them to feel welcome to join), then you might want some bot rather than a person to be the “narc” and remind people to be on their best behavior. So I guess if the mods are the only ones who want to be nice, then yes, it is a bit ridiculous because it will never work. Even if people change their language, they won’t be nice. But if most people want things to change, it could be a helpful way to both remind you to be inclusive and get the few people who would rather talk about how having to say bartender is censorship (without actually defending why they want to make a point of saying “barmen”) to realize that they either have to change the way they talk in that particular community or find a better fit.


This is exactly why I feel nervous asking questions online. I feel like a lot of the time the answer is so obvious that a bot could answer it with very little context and then I’ll look silly.


It’s how isoforms functions with different signatures evolve. As long as it isn’t harmful it tends to stick around. Then the different code may develop adaptations which fit it into a niche if it is a selective advantage for the organism code base.
