  Sorry, tonight I can only go as far as Wikipedia

  If an upiór harassed a human at night, the remedy was to stop the upiór returning to its grave - at dawn it would disappear or change into black tar

  There are two citations for that sentence but digging out the sources is too much for me tonight. Maybe there is the reasoning behind changing into tar and reference to some older sources

  I think there might have been also some mention of power of the sun in some Mickiewicz work. But apparently not in “Upiór”. There it complains to Venus

  But true, that is not exactly the express-sunburn OP wrote about

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Socialism is the actual teaching of Jesus⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s my point, I wouldn’t be surprised, unfortunately

  To be fair, I couldn’t get through it either. But I’d guess if one decides to take something as their guidance, it would be a good idea to read it at least once

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There is probably a subsection of vampires that use careful sun exposure as tattoos or bodymods⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m pretty sure that before 1800s some things had to be dried on the sun because otherwise it goes bad. And it would be more in the form of folk wisdom. There I would search for connection “sun does good” -> “kills vampires”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Socialism is the actual teaching of Jesus⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Not necessarily. Punishing theft or manslaughter is not oppression. And it makes sense to have systemic safeguards against those

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There is probably a subsection of vampires that use careful sun exposure as tattoos or bodymods⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  sunlight itself as something to cause significant harm to vampires appears to have originated with Nosferatu in 1922

  I think it’s older than that. But you’d have to search for folklore about garlic, sliver and sun, instead of a book. And Stoker kind of merged together a few slavic wights from different countries into his Dracula

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Socialism is the actual teaching of Jesus⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  IMO it made sense in the times when enforcing the law was harder to do. But a lot of time has passed since then, religions (as in whole communities, priests and followers) somehow made it their point to not change much

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Socialism is the actual teaching of Jesus⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  go to church

  And how many have read at least one testament? Reading is not rare anymore

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Socialism is the actual teaching of Jesus⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  For all their “christianity”, republicans in the US are pretty hypocritical

  No, no, you were indoctrinated by people with agenda
  Jesus was saying, and everyone was obeying, like a good person does

  /s in case it’s not clear

  this is (I guess) Korean translation on hrfrance, which without /ko/ seems to be a french Linux news site

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The fact that there seem to be a bunch of translations of this text on different websites is interesting

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not only do we humans have a common ancestor with primates still living in trees, we have a common ancestor with the trees.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  One just cannot avoid trampling ants when walking

  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahimsa_in_Jainism#Ascetic_p…

  Jain ascetics sweep the ground before them to avoid injuring the most minuscule forms of life. They generally brush the ground clear of insects before they tread. Digambara monks do not wear any clothes and eat food only when it is not prepared for themselves. Ascetics of the Śvētāmbara tradition wear a small mask to avoid taking in tiny insects.

  Apparently, some already try since quite some time now

  Wha?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why so much hate toward AI?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  At that point just let me ditch the formality and send over the summary in the first place.

  A tangent a little bit but so much this. Why haven’t we normalized using fewer words already?
  Why do we keep writing (some blogs and all of content marketing) whole screens of text to convey just a sentence of real content?

  I didn’t notice it going bad. What’s going on?

  I mean the new one, not Vortex

  According to modlog it was against Rule#2

  Wasn’t there the same question here yesterday?

  Why not just cooperate with nexus mods? Their new app (yes, still a deep beta) works quite well

  students

  When I was a student I despised the idea of typeless var in C#. Then a few years later at my day job I fully embraced C++ auto. I understand the frustration but unfortunately being wrong is part of learning

  It might be interesting to cross-post this question to !fuck_ai@lemmy.world
  but brace for impact

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stack overflow is almost dead⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think such trend would be so big. And anyone who has used any LLM for programming learns very quickly that those are very far from replacing anyone

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ground control to Major Trial: When a $130M aerospace company chooses to endlessly abuse opensource free trials instead of typing git pull, you start to question gravity, or at least common sense.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They don’t want to use those tools, legal or technical, because it goes against the spirit of FOSS, even if it’s to stop someone else who is abusing the spirit of FOSS.

  I’m not convinced. It all started from a license saying “if you want to distribute your version, you have to license it the same”. One either plays by the rules or the modification doesn’t see the light of day. And at the time of publication, it was rather radical stance
  Freedom sometimes has to be enforced

  This is not a story about a company denying free trial to another company because the latter is big. It’s about the latter leeching resources from supporters who’s money go towards the fleet that serves their 4k VM “trial”

  It is against the spirit of FOSS

  I know. The world runs on duct-tape

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft is putting AI actions into the Windows File Explorer⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I 100% expect so. It’s much easier and cheaper to do it this way and also gives them data to train copilot further

  I might be wrong, though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stack overflow is almost dead⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not convinced that the number of questions asked is the correct metric. In the end the point is not to have a constant flow of questions, rather constant flow of answers found.

  There is a point in proficiency in language/library/whatever after which it is faster to find the answer in the code/documentation/test example than to wait until another person on even higher level will come and answer your question.
  Maybe we simply filled out what was needed to be asked in the beginner-bug found-intermediate space and, apart from questions stemming from new versions etc, SO does not need more questions?

  Expectation for everything to constantly grow is unrealistic

  And as usual, that is not where the costs should be cut. Even with the current relegation of platform (I mean running mission-critical machines in cloud). I wouldn’t trust that company to be their customer if I knew they operate like that

  Picture a semi-governmental company

  Also, relying on 30-day license that has to be refreshed on monthly basis, now with personal emails, is a sev1 waiting to happen. Very unmaintainable

  And if someone from That Company is reading this: you still have time to do the right thing. You’ve got the rocket science down. Now try ethics.

  When a building needs maintenance bad enough that it doesn’t pass a set of regulations, it will get closed until fixed. Maybe we need something like that for IT infrastructure
