it seems my brain is not very compatible with yml feel like if it were json or toml, i didn't even need reference, i just understands it syntax... strange feels like a lot of ppl are the opposite way

@potatomeow This is why yaml must die.

/reads about a romance author getting locked out of google docs for inappropriate content/

“See, this is American Puritanism run amok.”

/continues reading, gets to the bit where they write “hockey romance”/

“You know what, Google might be right about this.”

@wreimers @jasonmolenda @gparker @steve Yeah this seems to fall firmly under Rule 34, and good for them. I just hope sincere readers have quality writing to consume.

Can you believe I’m getting closer and closer to be in my 40s and for the first time I booked myself a solo trip? I’m in an utterly state of panic

penryu,

@RosaCtrl Wow, that's a coincidence. My first solo international trip was in my 39th year!

@RosaCtrl I'm sure you'll have a great trip!

it seems ascii art renders differently on different browser fonts, kinda breaks the graphics... looks like isn't as simple as i thought

@potatomeow Your education begins.

@potatomeow Just know that it's SO MUCH BETTER than it used to be.

penryu,
@penryu@hachyderm.io avatar

@potatomeow You intention is indeed admirable. But if your goal is identical, pixel-perfect rendering across ANY browser, you will quickly lose sanity.

Much like the original HTML spec, it's best to focus on semantic correctness.

The movies I'm considering for tonight, in (ascending order) of title laugh factor.

Wolfcop
Bong of the Living Dead
Teenape vs. the Monster Zombie Apocalypse
Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead
Taintlight
Terror at Blood Fart Lake

I think we're committed to Poultrygeist, but I can't keep Blood Fart Lake on hold forever.

@Obdurodon I feel like that list is begging to have Llama-geddon added to it.

@evan IF you count either London Underground or BART through SF... over 6 years.

If you count above ground trains/trams, the story changes drastically.

Let's be honest:

This isn't about being responsible.

OpenAI wants their cut of a massive market without getting their creepy-looking GenAI fingers dirty.

I dunno y’all, fingers are pretty inportant in porn and AI is still real weird about fingers 😬 https://press.coop/@WIRED/112407065690709512

@Roach Porn's pretty flexible about the number of... uh, "fingers."

penryu,
@penryu@hachyderm.io avatar

@Roach

Let's be honest:

This isn't OpenAI trying to be "responsible."

They want to make sure they get their cut of a massive market without getting their creepy-looking fingers dirty.

@potatomeow Wow, according to that, even MORE than 25 years ago.

If you hear something from a protest that you don't agree with, keep listening. You're the person whose mind they're trying to change.

@evan Now I have to listen to the next group of Fox News fans protesting Biden's presidency. Thanks a lot.

Hard to imagine a signal that a website is a rugpull more intense than banning users for trying to delete their own posts

@mcc I can't wait till big tech gets together and convinces the power companies to restructure billing so they can pass the extra cost onto the people.

i feel a certain kinship with Gandalf when he is trying everything he can think of to guess the password to the doors of moria. But for me its trying to get xzf in the right order with tar

penryu,
@penryu@hachyderm.io avatar

@kstatz12 I THINK the important thing is that f is last, followed by the file. But even if that's wrong, I stick to "${compression}${action}${source}"... a mnemonic I picked up in the bz2 days when the compression flag was j.

penryu,
@penryu@hachyderm.io avatar

@kstatz12 Yeah, I confess that my preferred order of (z|j)xf is learned and by now cargo-culted.

I can't speak for every tar impl out there. But IME (mostly BSD and Linux), z/j/x/c are generally position-independent. f just needs to come last in any flag-sequence because it's argument is the name of the archive. Otherwise you get weird errors like "x is not a valid archive" or similar.

penryu,
@penryu@hachyderm.io avatar

@kstatz12 This is, of course, exacerbated by bsdtar and gnutar only supporting the dash-less flags for backwards compat reasons.

And the new flag syntax they both use exhibits the same "so similar you might think they're the same across platforms until you're proven wrong at a really inconvenient time" behavior of cross-platform tooling we've come to know and love.
