a step in the right direction

With the confirmation buttons in dialogs moved into the title bar?

My initial guess was that sudo would eat up the echo’d foo as the password. Maybe sudo works differently when invoked via zsh?

Can’t reproduce.

16:22:48:~/tmp$ echo foo | sudo tee newfile
[sudo] Passwort für bleistift2:         
foo

16:23:02:~/tmp$ ls -l newfile
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4 Feb 23 16:22 newfile

Unsubstantiated claim: Any set of rules that aim at distributing money according to some merit can be exploited in a way that those who get the most money are not those providing the most value.

Or less formally: Any game can be cheesed.

You took a great deal of liberty in interpreting my comment. There is no anti-intellectualism there. That’s all in your head. My statement “I can create plasma using a candle and a microwave” was aimed at the reporters.

When the research is aimed at eventually building a power plant, then running the process for several minutes without even guesstimating an efficiency factor (or not reporting on it) seems very odd. We can be sure that energy was set free, which the researches must have had to dispose of somehow. I can’t imagine that they just blindly dumped it somehow without even checking how close their dumping process was to failing.

If you’d like to know what a constructive answer would’ve looked like, this is one: https://feddit.nl/comment/15463960

Not a word about how much energy went into the process and how much was harvested…

The last comment has this:

500GB drive costs what? About $40?

Is that Tom Scott from the future?

maybe everyone here is just a rude little shit.

Or maybe you’re just a snowflake that can’t handle criticism.

Is this not rude:

I checked the code and I’m appalled. There are more BLOBs than source code

No. The commenter is voicing their own feelings and explains why they have them. There is neither blaming nor rudeness here.

And this:

I understand that removing BLOBs isn’t a priority over new and shiny features. But due to recent events, this should be rethought.

It would have been nice if you had explained why you think this is rude. The author expresses understanding that the maintainers’ priorities don’t align with the author’s. This seems to be an uncontroversial statement to me.

Then the author explains (I agree, it’s more a hint than an explanation) why they think the priorities should be changed. In my view their argument is sound. Again, there is no blaming or rudeness here.

They should have opened with a complement

I assume you mean “compliment”.

I’ve often heard of the “sandwich technique” – start with a compliment, then voice criticism, end with another positive thing. I find this is an appropriate procedure when voicing open feedback, that is, good things and bad things. However, this is a Github issue. Its whole point is to point out a perceived problem, not to give the maintainers a pat on the back or thank them.

I cannot fathom what in this issue description gives rise to your concern. It’s worded very calmly, clearly explaining why the author thinks these BLOBs shouldn’t be there, expressing an understanding that it’s not a top priority and even closing with a thank you.

A text editor that doesn’t assume that the keys on my keyboard are in the same order as yours.

Aww. I confused “communities” for “instances” when I read the title. Thanks for pointing it out.

Your data quality is questionable. You list only 2 communities for feddit.org. Lemmy Explorer has 148. I doubt that they’re all ‘suspicious’. And if they are, then that flag is itself suspicious.

Please avoid any and all situations in which you might have the chance of handling any kind of categorized data, for the sake of all of us.

No, these programs suck because they have bad UI. Gimp’s “editable number in front of a slider that behaves differently based on where you touch it first” is the single worst control I’ve encountered in years.

No, it does.

There’s nothing to say about this

Damn.

There’s nothing to say about this. Just revel in memories, enjoy the moment, and upvote.
