Asking for help online just gets you a “lol, RTFM, noob!”
Depends heavily on what place you ask for help in. There are plenty of spaces explicitly meant for community tech support. In OPs case, I’ll say the title doesn’t help and asking an LLM for advice on a topic you’re unfamiliar with (and not second-guessing the commands you paste into the terminal) is such a bad idea that it really can’t be understated. I regularly catch some of my colleagues making AI-assisted mistakes and they’re professionals who genuinely know better. This shit shouldn’t ever be recommended as a learning tool for beginners without some kind of supervision or guard rails to ensure you’re not being gaslit.

I like the '89 and '93 Patlabor movies.

I don’t think that’s trivial to filter.

Linus Torvalds is the last person to extend an olive branch to anyone contributing kernel code. Anyway, big news: lwn.net/Articles/1049831/
- Comment on How One Uncaught Rust Exception Took Out Cloudflare 5 weeks ago:
Putting aside the ideological discussion about software licenses, saying that “they” are forcing Rust into the Linux kernel is a bold claim when Linus Torvalds clearly doesn’t mind the inclusion and even encourages it for example in driver code, at least as an experiment.
- Comment on How One Uncaught Rust Exception Took Out Cloudflare 5 weeks ago:
The internet would be a much quieter place if people were forced to have a minimal amount of insight into the topic they’re posting about. I guess what really annoys me is when popular blogs like this one deliberately frame something they don’t like in a way that makes it look worse to people who don’t know any better. There are very few people calling this shit out, be it on lemmy or the comments of the article itself. They even lied about FL1 being “bullet-proof” and “unaffected” by this bug, when it clearly wasn’t, according to Cloudflare - the primary source of this shitstain of an article.
- Comment on How One Uncaught Rust Exception Took Out Cloudflare 5 weeks ago:
I swear some of these commenters will jerk each other off about how “Rust is bad, actually” even if the root cause of an issue was someone intentionally crashing their app. Where do you even get this kind of attitude from? I’ve been around when Rust was the popular topic in any programming-related discussions and while there was plenty of evangelism and CS-101 experts making wild claims, nothing warrants this kind of irrational hatred. I thought you need to go to the phoronix forums to find people who have such loud opinions with very little actual programming experience, but apparently I was wrong.

There are good reasons to have unwrap or at least expect. There is no reason to use it in the case that Cloudflare used it in.
- Comment on The popular Easy Effects app swaps from GTK over to Qt, QML and Kirigami with a big new release 1 month ago:
There were technical reasons from what I’ve read on their GitHub. The UI really doesn’t look right though and the update also ate half my config…
- Comment on When we eat the billionaires, we should spare Gabe Newell? No? 1 month ago:
There’s an argument to be made that it’s too high of a cut, especially these days. A lot of this money has funded great improvements to the gaming ecosystem and many open source projects. The major competing storefronts/launchers do not come even slightly close to the feature set that Steam provides, but they have tried attracting users through exclusivity deals. It’s very telling that some successful competitors (like itch or gog) actually offer some unique benefits and aren’t attached to some incredibly controversial corporations…
Valve isn’t free from criticism and their role as a monopolist should definitely be scrutinized, especially as companies often radically change for the worse in behaviour and culture, but a lot of this critical attention was instigated by Epic CEO Tim Sweeney who can frankly gargle my nuts.

- Comment on Why do seemingly all politicians (and no one else) do that hand gesture when they talk, the one where it looks like they're holding an invisible fishing rod? 1 month ago:
They are trying to appear human. Somehow that seems to involve cathing invisible fish.
- Comment on Google flags Immich sites as dangerous 2 months ago:
I don’t blame people for thinking that something is off after reading the linked blog post. This wouldn’t be the first time Google does something like this to OSS that poses some kind of potential threat to their business model (this is also mentioned in the post).
- Comment on The C programming language is like debating a philosopher and Python is like debating someone who ate an edible 2 months ago:
I get that part. I just don’t understand how the analogy relates to the programming languages. Maybe it really is just a shitty analogy from someone who doesn’t know much about either language.
- Comment on The C programming language is like debating a philosopher and Python is like debating someone who ate an edible 2 months ago:
I genuinely don’t get it.
- Comment on [Rec] "REDLINE" is one of the best and bizarre animated movie I have ever seen. 2 months ago:
You should. It’s very entertaining and probably the greatest animation showcase from madhouse.
- Comment on What strategy would you use to estimate the number of hazelnuts 3 months ago:
- Set lower bound by counting how many are visible in the photo
- Grow disinterested

I’m a big fan of this post-outro gag.
- Comment on AI experts return from China stunned: The U.S. grid is so weak, the race may already be over 4 months ago:
It’s incredibly surprising that neglecting infrastructure investments for a mere few decades would have such an effect.
- Comment on CITY THE ANIMATION - Episode 5 discussion 4 months ago:
I wasn’t sure what to expect after the production team told people that episode 5 would show them something they’ve never seen before, but heavy use of mixed media claymation, what must be a new record of simultaneous split-screen footage and experimental animation techniques to focus on various details of a giant animated shot surprised me either way. I’m not sure if this episode will work for everyone, but it’s honestly so technically impressive that you have to watch it. I’m sure that the staff had fun working on this, even with the amount of work it must have been.
- Comment on CITY THE ANIMATION - Episode 5 discussion 4 months ago:
It’s the opposite for me. I’ve enjoyed each Episode more than the previous one, with the exception of some standout gags - like the yakisoba bag incident, which is a master class in direction, animation, setup and timing. It’s probably one of my favorite animated scenes ever.
- Comment on A Second Tea Breach Reveals Users’ DMs About Abortions and Cheating 5 months ago:
This isn’t an issue if you give private information to “good” companies since they don’t suffer data breaches. Make sure to check their website for the authentic “good company” seal.
- Comment on Australian anti-porn group claims responsibility for Steam's new censorship rules in victory against 'porn sick brain rotted pedo gamer fetishists', and things only get weirder from there 5 months ago:
This just makes it extra frustrating when many people reacted to these news with indifference. They are not visible by default. You can hide general tags and specific games from your view very easily. There is no need to celebrate arbitrary censorship by puritans or hate groups, just because it doesn’t negatively affect your primary usage of a product.
- Comment on romm v4.0.0 (self-hosted ROM manager/player) has been released 5 months ago:
To me this looks nothing like Discord beyond having a compact sidebar… In fact, I would hope that Discord never inspires any software UI, because it really fucking sucks.
It’s probably not a good idea to infer how privacy friendly an open source software is, based on such a superficial visual similarity to a closed source proprietary product.
- Comment on Hair color is a spectrum 5 months ago:
Yeah, it looks very much like that picture, at least in any crowd I’ve seen. Japanese society is pretty uptight about visually standing out too much. It’s all relegated to specific locations or events. Comiket is one example, because the many attending cosplayers are impossible to spot outside of the actual location (unless you count their luggage). Compared to similar events in europe, most of which are way smaller, you’ll see extravagantly dressed people with bright hair colors in a large radius and on public transport.

Of all comedy anime I have watched, this probably has the best direction. Incredible stuff.
