Probably the mentioned post:
- Comment on 3 days ago:
You should obviously improve your reading skills.
- Comment on 3 days ago:
No, the argument is not required, the command is valid. It’s intentional and a neat feature that
rm -rfalone without a specified file does nothing.See e.g.: unix.stackexchange.com/a/553741
- Comment on 3 days ago:
The question is:
what happens when you give the command in the command line rm -rf ?
rm -rf *or hererm -rf testare different commands. - Comment on 3 days ago:
Exactly, but that wasn’t the question.
- Comment on 3 days ago:
No, it does nothing.
$ mkdir test $ cd test ~/test$ touch 1 2 3 4 5 ~/test$ rm -rf ~/test$ ls 1 2 3 4 5
- Comment on Is there a sublemmy where people suggest ideas for a sublemmy? specifically, a sublemmy to review fediverse instances. 1 week ago:
AfaIk, they’re officially called communities.
- Comment on : Do people who were blind from birth see anything in their dreams, or is it just audio and textures? 1 week ago:
As OP is asking about dreaming, I think “seeing” means pictures or brains produce during dreams that appear to the dreamer as if they were perceived through their eyes.
- Comment on Has anyone else noticed the strong pro CCP and anti-west vibes here? 1 week ago:
The votes are federated. A CCP critic post by a LW user in an LW community can be up/downvoted by users on any instance that LW is federating with, including tankie-heavy flagship instance

Oh gosh! It sounds like the russian was coming.
It’s probably because of its problem in pronouncing the “i” correctly. (Probably only Germans will get that joke) - Comment on if all birds sing and if they do why do geese honk, ducks quack, and chickens bawk? 2 weeks ago:
Woodpeckers also do twitter.
- Comment on if all birds sing and if they do why do geese honk, ducks quack, and chickens bawk? 2 weeks ago:
Crows, jays and woodpeckers are songbirds too.
- Comment on What does non-gui mean ? 2 weeks ago:
Both definitions seem to be present:
In computing, text-based user interfaces (TUI) (alternately terminal user interfaces, to reflect a dependence upon the properties of computer terminals and not just text), is a retronym describing a type of user interface (UI) common as an early form of human–computer interaction, before the advent of bitmapped displays and modern conventional graphical user interfaces (GUIs).
- Comment on What does non-gui mean ? 2 weeks ago:
Exactly. A TUI is not a replacement for a GUI where human interaction is essential to the process.
You’re thinking of a CLI, a TUI allows for human interaction.
- Comment on What does non-gui mean ? 2 weeks ago:
As you said, that’s an example of a CLI, yet a TUI would be something different, e.g. like the non-graphical installer of your dear Linux distribution.
- Comment on Should street racers who accidentally kill people really go to prison? 4 weeks ago:
By that definition shooting into a crowd with a gun would not qualify for murder unless the perpetrator had the intention to kill (dolus directus). Other criteria are malice aforethought and dolus eventualis.

In France, it was red wine and condoms. But you do you.
- Comment on How is Alexander the Great so great he gets that name, but not so great that just “Alexander”doesn’t disambiguate him? 1 month ago:
His family name is Julius Caesar. Gaius is his given name.
- Comment on Why is society at large okay with euthanasia for pets but not for humans? 1 month ago:
^* human life, not humans. Being confined like a potted plant is considered acceptable for a person in a coma or with a severe disabilities, but not for a pet.
- Comment on Are there seach engines that dont depend Google and Bing, if not what are the barriers to entry of new search engines? 1 month ago:
Ecosia at least partially uses the European Search Perspective (EUSP) search index which they develop in collaboration with Qwant.
- Comment on Which Pipes to choose (Newpipe, Pipepipe, Piped Invidious...etc)? 2 months ago:
Nice, I recently switched to PipePipe but have NewPipe installed alongside. You observations totally make sense, as PipePipe’s website suggests, its development has become independent of NewPipe.
- Comment on Which Pipes to choose (Newpipe, Pipepipe, Piped Invidious...etc)? 2 months ago:
As e.g. PipePipe and Tubular are forks of NewPipe, you need the original anyways for the meantime after issues have been fixed until these are adopted by the forks.
- Comment on What are the most confusing false friends from your language to another that are spelt exactly the same? 2 months ago:
Reserverad - reserved (Swedish) - spare tire (German)
- Comment on Is there a FOSS version of Waze or Google Maps? 2 months ago:
TomTom is based in the Netherlands.
- Comment on Is there a FOSS version of Waze or Google Maps? 2 months ago:
In the meantime one could parasitically use the Data from Google, e.g. in OSMAnd Link (in German but with useful screenshots).
- Comment on What Phone do you guys use? 2 months ago:
The remaining question is: Do you run your own Nextcloud for backup or do you use the one provided by Murena?
- Comment on The US government just banned consumer routers made outside the US 2 months ago:
It seems like professional equipment will not be affected:
While the FCC’s Covered List makes it sound like the US is banning all “routers produced in a foreign country,” it’s defined a bit more narrowly than that. It’s specifically banning “consumer-grade routers” as defined in NIST Internal Report 8425A, which refers to ones “intended for residential use and can be installed by the customer.”
- Comment on The US government just banned consumer routers made outside the US 2 months ago:
but consumer routers are a really significant security junction which historically has always been somewhat neglected.
You’re right, but simply shifting the produchtion from overseas to US doesn’t inherently make the routers more secure. The aeticle mentions the lack of software updates for discontinued products as a big threat that has been exploited in the past.
I only read a few sentences before the paywall stopped me,
Fortunately, there is no paywall for me. Here is the article on archive.org.
but sounds like they’ll whitelist any foreign manufacturers that are legitimate.
No, the article mentions only one exception:
Now, router makers need to A) secure a “conditional approval” that lets them keep getting new products cleared for US entry while they work to convince the government that they’ll open up manufacturing in the US, or B) make the decision to skip selling future products in the US, like dronemaker DJI already did.
- Comment on The US government just banned consumer routers made outside the US 2 months ago:
It only applies to router models that aren’t approved by FCC yet. I.e., you will be able to buy those (current and future) models who already have an FCC approval.
