    My mum takes care of vulnerable and very Ill hedgehogs in our garden.

    I like to think it that way: It’s a bit like we human represent an Alien abduction, when they get home to their family they talk how some Extraterrestrial being took them and made some crazy experiment on them and nobody believes it ! 😅😁




  • I’m not very acquainted with any programming language so maybe I’m wrong here (or I didn’t get the joke? XD) but bash didn’t change much in the past few years, I even read some scripts more than 10 years still works because the syntax stays the same (or doesn’t change a lot …)

    Compared with the switch from python 2 -> python 3 I read a lot of people pulling their hair off xD



  • Sorry to chip in and change subjet… But would you recommend that book for learning regular expressions as a non CS guy? I’m working more and more towards bash scripts and I run occasionally into the case where I need to write some regex and I’m getting frustrated not being able to do so and always ask for some help here on Lemmy.

    It really rough sometimes where simply using a regex tester isn’t enough to fill my use case.

    From what I understand, F-droid regularly audits a few new apps for malicious code

    That’s a good point, but how can a malicious code be add to a source code from github? I mean if you only use trusted applications repos (most of them are already on f-droid anyway) there shouldn’t be any concern right?

    But reading from the link you posted there’s some chance of a MITM attack and send a malicious payload directly to Obtainium? (Correct me if I’m wrong).

    Github is not neccesarily the same source used to generate their binaries.

    Didn’t knew that :/

    Thanks for sharing your knowledge !








  • Personal opinion here ! I think we shouldn’t think of setiency in a human way. Like every animal being can see but most of them don’t see the same way we are. Or trees can communicate with each other, but not in the same way as we are.

    We should broader our spectrum of possibilities and stop thinking in a binary way when talking about the world that surrounds us.

    It might be in a year, or maybe in a 100 years, but if machine sentience is even possible, it is inevitable.

    I agree, not only is it inevitable it will also be our own demise. I think of it like our own body (at some degree) is protecting us from external threat to keep us safe. Specially now they are playing arround with neurons on SoCs. The question is not “IF” but “WHEN”. There will be a point of no return where AI will be infinitely more “intelligent” we will ever be, where it can feed it’s own data and controls everything related to information and change things to it’s liking.

    Most people would say, just unplug that machine ! But what if It could spread through our own media and replicate itself through all our hyper connected space?

    The limit is our own imagination. But if it wants to survive, It would know It should keep discrete and hide until the right time to strike. Because nobody wants to be a slave controlled by others.

    Just my 2cent.


  • I haven’t heard of Mathy, but it seems to be a math tool?

    From what I gathered, miniconda is like pipx or venv. It’s able to create python virtual environments.

    But I’m very new to all of this so I’m not really a good source. However after experimenting with either of them (venv, pip or miniconda) I found miniconda the easiest to use, but that’s also probably a skill issue.

    I was genuinely asking because their could be something I wasn’t aware of because yeah I’m new to all of this. (proprietary, bugs, not the right tool…

    You seem related to programming, maybe you could give me some pointers here?
