This is like the beach that makes you old. You doubt it, you go there, you ignore the “Beach That Makes You Old” sign, the beach makes you old.

Doesn’t anyone here know that the Death Note (1) curses all those who use it with misfortune and (2) will trap your soul in limbo after use?

Nah, I’m good. Tweezers and a matchstick.

Even more magical is the lossless Zstandard _{is this a name drop?}. It does so much stuff, it’s awesome!

• hella fast compared to similar-leveled compressors (zoom)
• no matter the zstd compression level, decompression takes equal time! (ux!)
• zstd can use a user-given dictionary, or train its own on a sample set (wowie)
• zstd can be used for live compression (compress and decompress as you read and write, not before or after)
  • on ram (install more ram??)
  • in filesystems (2.5x your disk??)
  • saves CPU by not compressing if it’s not worth it (efficiency!!)
• use ALL the cores!

So kool. lol

Did you see Mozart’s new concerto?

Everyone’s speculating so I’ll put in something concrete:

About 3 months ago, r/wholesomememes mods clamped down on karma-farm bots as hard as they could…

causing no new posts to appear for two entire days.

Hey there friends! It’s only been a few days since we started cracking down on the spam bots and excessive reposts that have been plaguing r/WholesomeMemes - and now there is nothing left! –mod

Did somebody say Inferno?

Getting mangoed and eating a stone.

Interesting, 18 up and 16 down as of this comment. Because this started with ~2 downvotes (the first image had terrible jpeg for a few minutes), we either have

1. my taste did not land
2. early downvotes beget more downvotes

this comment is here for notetaking. let’s see if i’m a moron or if iambs are stronger than herds.

Whoops, typo! Fixed c:

I forgive 'em cuz watt hours are a disgusting unit in general

Work over time, × time, is just work! kWh are just joules (J) with extra steps! Screw kWh, I will die on this hill!!! Raaah

Master manipulator. Needs to be contained

Make your data useless or wrong.

More passively, there’s probably an oddly large amount of John Does born on January 1, 2000 ;)

More offensively, anti-image-gen data poisoning such as Nightshade exists. It’s well-defended against IIRC so hopefully someone can Cunningham’s Law correct me. And this is also more solo of a movement (as opposed to gaining mass support for something)

SQL sanitization joke. Won’t affect most databases today.

You’re right. Looking back I confused a lot of ( with [!

Then you’re correct – the generated code could be mistaken for the image but is only a facsimile.

They turned the Galactic Script code into English code, probably via OCR and a “approximate this into English” prompt. Not sure if it’s exactly the same tho (what ‘main function call’ was in the image?)

Edit: It’s only a facsimile, see Hoimo’s reply

I love all the pleasantly deep answers in this thread.

For my input: I’m everything I ever was, all at once.

You know how lenses refract over each other at the optometrist? Or how colors combine when you stack transparent cups in the washer? That’s me. I have parts from everyone I ever met, and parts from everyone I ever was. There’s no mask, even if I focus on one part of the mosaic in a meeting vs. another when I nerd out w/ a buddy – it’s all equally me.

I’m not Shrek though. Onions have layers, but I’m prismatic glass, chips and dips and all.

NOOOOOO HOW DID I GET SHITTYMORPHED ON LEMMY
