Spoken like someone who never accidentally typed something into the wrong terminal or accidentally used the wrong keyboard.

Funny thing about that one, gnuplot is not under GPL and has nothing to do with GNU.

It’s up to Lemmy to safeguard that, not the OP.

Uhm, yes? The discussion was never about anything else?

Reddit changes the stuff to [Deleted] or something like that.

I know, and I think that’s preferable. Gives the OP a way to delete their own stuff while not destroying arbitrary amounts of other people’s conversations and arguments.

This is about data posted by other people, though.

Honestly, this is a major weakness of Lemmy. The OP of a thread can destroy a lot of content by other people, and they often do. I really don’t get the reasoning behind allowing them that power.

The password for the hard drive encryption and the system login are two separate things, so, yes, this combination is easily possible. You’ll have to input a password for system bootup, but not for logging in.

How advisable that combination is is another question entirely.

I don’t even know which Linux specific fork you are referring to, it could be either a git fork or fork(2).

Why not just microwave the butter?

The original is a lot lamer than I thought it would be…

I think I know this meme template from somewhere, but I cannot quite recall from where. Could you give us a link to the original?

If any person actually typed that they aren’t sane at all.

That doesn’t actually rule out anything.

Older Millenial here. It was definitely GenX that paved the way for the computer world I learned, and it was mostly GenX who wrote the books and taught the lessons (often informal) that brought us what knowledge we have, at least in the beginning. Plus a small selection of exceptional individuals from older generations, including, dare I say it,… the baby boomers.

“They’re a private company” (with a state-sponsored monopoly on an essential good).

I don’t know how anybody is surprised by this. Who do you think would buy a privatized municipal water supplier, other than people trying to squeeze as much money as possible from a population with no recourse and no say in the matter?

Why does he look like Leonardo DiCaprio?

There is no wise way to use that information.

But the foolish ones could be entertaining.

You just gave me flashbacks to that abomination of a programming language they call sqf.

This is x86 assembler. (Actually, looking at the register names, it’s probably x86_64. On old school x86, they were named something like al, ah (8 bit), ax (16 bit), or eax (32 bit).) Back in the old days, when you pressed a key on the keyboard, the keyboard controller would generate a hardware interrupt, which, unless masked, would immediately make the CPU jump to a registered interrupt handler, interrupting whatever else it was doing at the point. That interrupt handler would then usually save all registers on the stack, communicate with the keyboard controller to figure out what exactly happened, react to that, restore the old registers again and then jump back to where the CPU was before.

In modern times, USB keyboards are periodically actively polled instead.

Non-murder solution:

Place and hold the apples precisely on top of one another. (Make sure your fingers are not in the way.) From one side of the apple tower, go horizontally exactly two thirds of the way to the other side. At that position, cut vertically through both apples from top to bottom. You now have two pieces that are two thirds of an apple each, and two pieces that are one third each. The kid you like best will receive the end slices without the apple core in it.

More realistically, disregard the stupid premise and make as many cuts as you need.

Files and directories starting with a dot are hiden by default. You are aksing for this stuff if you manually unhide them.

I don’t like the interrobang. It looks too crowded, and the sharp angle created between the question mark and the exclamation mark looks out of place in among latin alphabet letters.
