- Comment on is it a good beginner Python project to write a hacking software?? 11 months ago:
Doing a “hack simulator” would likely be easier in other languages, so you will hopefully run into some problems regarding acquiring and presenting the information, which I imagine would give you a decent understanding of the flow of data in python.
I’d say “Go for it”, doesn’t sound too advanced and not “hello world”-simple either.

I was thinking about Knights of Sidonia. They bough the rights while second season was being made, and while I’m not sure whether they also Labelled the first season as Netflix Original, they at least took it down from everywhere and instead put it on their own site.
- Comment on Completely free 11 months ago:
I mean, if Netflix can call a series to which they bought the rights a “Netflix Original”, then this dude can host you a free website for 1$+.
- Comment on Ok Lemmy Rorschach test time. Tell me what you see. 11 months ago:
A wolf, or more specifically our dear little furry eye-gifted Alucard from Hellsing Ultimate.
- Comment on Where did the abbreviation "w/" for "with" come from? 11 months ago:
Perhaps (hopefully) i just encountered some folks who just assumed something, and that it’s not actually becoming a trend.
- Comment on Where did the abbreviation "w/" for "with" come from? 11 months ago:
w/ appears to have origin in the food industry some 70 years ago (according to this question).
To me it makes sense, as I first encountered it in video games where abbreviations and text-saving-slang are commonplace. Furthermore, while abbreviations usually have multiple letters, single letter abbreviations can quickly become confusing, so I belive that this is the reason for putting a slash behind it, or possibly a bar above it.

Don’t swim in the water, I’ve heard you get severe and abrupt lead poisoning when trying.
- Comment on Military Time vs 24hr? 1 year ago:
I guess that does make sense, and definitely not as bad as I had misunderstood it to be.
It feels a little weird, and I’m not sure if T+29:00 or equivalents are allowed in ISO 8601, but I have seen computer programs that represent time differences in similar ways.
Thank you for the clarification!
- Comment on Military Time vs 24hr? 1 year ago:
In Denmark we say “2 o’clock” or just “14”. No one says fourteen hundred, except perhaps for a few military wannabes. Likewise, no one says “14 o’clock”.
If it’s quarter past 2, we’d usually say “14-15”. Half past 2 would be “14-30”, you get the idea.
- Comment on Military Time vs 24hr? 1 year ago:
Like the bastardization of the 24h clock by the television companies, doesn’t Amarican military time also allow for relative time instead of absolute? Like writing 5:00 on the second day of a time critical mission as 2900?
I’m pretty sure I heard this somewhere, though I have not verified this claim.

Who let the Dougs out?
- Comment on Would you really though? 1 year ago:
This is getting out of hand.
- Comment on Does Hexbear mandate all users to specify their preferred pronouns? 1 year ago:
Writing out a person’s full name/tag every time you reference them is not practical (see my previous comment), so one wouldn’t give this as reason against third person references in a serious discussion.
- Comment on Does Hexbear mandate all users to specify their preferred pronouns? 1 year ago:
Were talking pronouns as part of the sign up process.
@qyron@sopuli.xyz says that @qyron@sopuli.xyz would rather like to be tagged and be part of the conversation, instead of having people talk behind @qyron@sopuli.xyz’s back.
It’s likely meant to be seen as a witty remark, and not a statement. :)
- Comment on Think about what you're doing 1 year ago:
Oh, so it is just unfunny, pointless, and not even a meme. Whelp, that’s what I get for trying to have everything make sense.
- Comment on Think about what you're doing 1 year ago:
Might be about straw shortener? Seems to somehow have become a hot topic again in some circles.
For those not i the know, popular growth regulators used to shorten straws, as to prevent lodging during rains, has been known to cause hormone imbalances in humans, such as reduced fertility rates of men. Not sure if the growth regulators still are this dangerous, but they have been, and still are, banned in some countries.
- Comment on Can you filter out posts on Lemmy that are in languages other than one you speak? 1 year ago:
Undetermined has a lot of English content, but also holds all the “undetermined” content.
While a lot of content disappears when disabled, I think this is exactly what OP asks for.
An alternative would be to block communities from non-English Lemmy instances, but that isn’t foolproof either.
- Comment on Long Haired Men, How Do You Take Care of Your Hair?? 1 year ago:
I’ve begun applying 2-4 drops of oil to the tips of my hair after bath. The idea is, that your scalp will oil up and protect the rest of the hair, but usually doesn’t manage to apply the protective layer to your hair ends before next bath.
- Comment on How do you describe color to a person who has always been blind? 1 year ago:
Like hearing multiple octals at the same time, when you’ve only ever heard one?
Like feeling cold and hot, when you’ve only ever felt uncomfort?
Like tasting sour and sweet, when you’ve only ever tasted bitter?
Like going to the country and smelling nature, when you’ve only ever smelt the smog of the city?
- Comment on In memory of our beloved Titilica! 1 year ago:
Excuse me, but could you rephrase the question to fit a single sentence or less?
- Comment on Do folks managing servers mainly do so via command-line interfaces? 1 year ago:
I work with embedded devices, and to some degree also servers. Graphical user interfaces are usually ignored as they just take up space and resources, and you can’t even do half of what you can in the terminal (assuming you know your way around a terminal, but being a server admin, you really should).
Web interfaces are usually used for status pages, or if anyone who isn’t you or a fellow admin needs to to anything as, you guessed it, they are very restrictive, so the other party hopefully can’t do much damage.
- Comment on What does the 🛞 emoji mean on Lemmy? 1 year ago:
Well, yea, I can see that, but I imagine the bunch of horizontal lines is how your device tells you that it encountered an “unsupported icon”.
- Comment on What does the 🛞 emoji mean on Lemmy? 1 year ago:
I see a box with a cross in the middle, as in the icon for “unsupported icon” . I imagine it’s the same for you.
- Comment on What is the secret to a happy social-media experience? 1 year ago:
- Comment on Small children are well known to be afraid of voids (closets, under the bed) in their sleeping area. Knowing this, why don't we design children's rooms to eliminate them? 1 year ago:
Similar goes for picky eating. Few things are tasty by default, but most tastes are acquired by repeated exposure to new cuisine.
I’m still getting used to clams, snails, slugs, and calamari. Went from gag reflex and unable to swallow to capable of eating but not savouring in a few months time.
And again with fears, it’s not that dark voids have become less dangerous or fearful, it’s just that I have checked enough voids to not be immediately alarmed.
- Comment on Why so many people get triggered about ads nowadays? 1 year ago:
And that is really sad. In the early days, I disabled my ad blocker for Youtube, as I tend to do with the websites I enjoy, but evidently I’ve had to re-enable it since to keep my sanity.
As so many others, I don’t have a problem with passive or “docile” ads, but I do have a vendetta against intrusive anti-user experiences, which has led me to block ads and other kinds of annoyances /intrusions per default.
The whole “need for more aggressive ads as result of adblockers” is a self fulfilling prophecy.
- Comment on Why so many people get triggered about ads nowadays? 1 year ago:
Youtube before Google bought it was pretty nice. A little add taking up a square in the upper right corner, just above recommended videos, and I think that was about it. Nowadays it’s completely impossibly to watch YouTube without ad blockers or premium subscription.
- Comment on How much did photography "stole" painter jobs ? 1 year ago:
But it does hold water. The original image might not be contained within the model, but the fact that it was trained on stolen data makes it problematic. Even if humans do the same, an AI model is not a human, and therefore needs to adhere to different rules.
