That moment when you realise that every single ancestor had sex so you could be here posting on social media…
Do you get output if you use that exact tail

I often wonder how such an approach actually happens. One person sends the other a message via Tinder?
Perl is the only language that looks just as incomprehensible before and after a rot13 transformation.
Python on the other hand is the only language that will cause your application to stop working because you mixed up tabs and spaces, even though it looks perfectly fine on your scr.
And lisp is hard to say if you have one.

Wow, you kiss your mother with that mouth?

A Statement From Linda Ronstadt
Sept. II, 2024
San Francisco
Donald Trump is holding a rally on Thursday in a rented hall in my hometown, Tucson. I would prefer to ignore that sad fact. But since the building has my name on it. I need to say something.
It saddens me to see the former President bring his hate show to Tucson, a town with deep Mexican-American roots and a joyful. tolerant spirit.
I don’t just deplore his toxic politics, his hatred of women. immigrants and people of color, his criminality, dishonesty and ignorance although there’s that.
For me it comes down to this: In Nogales and across the southern border, the Trump Administration systematically ripped apart migrant families seeking asylum. Family separation made orphans of thousands of little children and babies, and brutalized their desperate mothers and fathers. It remains a humanitarian catastrophe that Physicians for Human Rights said met the criteria for torture.
There is no forgiving or forgetting the heartbreak he caused.
Trump first ran for President warning about rapists coming in from Mexico. I’m worried about keeping the rapist out of the White House.

P.S. to J.D. Vance:
I raised two adopted children in Tucson as a single mom. They are both grown and living in their own houses. I live with a cat. Am I half a childless cat lady because I’m unmarried and didn’t give birth to my kids? Call me what you want, but this cat lady will be voting proudly in November for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

As an end user, ie. not someone who either hosts an instance or has extra permissions, can we in anyway see who voted on a post or comment?
I’m asking because over the time I’ve been here, I’ve noticed that many, but not all, posts or comments attract a solitary down vote.
I see this type of thing all over the place. Sometimes it’s two down votes, indicating that it happens more than once.
I note that human behaviour might explain this to some extent, but the voting happens almost immediately, in the face of either no response, or positive interactions.
Feels a lot like the Reddit down vote bots.
You could use a cron job to grep through the file and reformat the output into a webpage, markdown, or plain-text file.
Reddit support to the rescue…
Bruce Perens is currently working on a new licensing model called Post Open requiring that business with sufficient revenue to pay up.
In my opinion it’s criminal just how often this happens. Big business making obscene profit off the back of volunteer work like yours and many others across the OSS community.
All I’ll say is that I’m glad that I’m neither your child, nor a member of your software development team…
Be the change you want to see…
There is nothing stopping you from gathering that data and publishing it every week.
I will point out that the absence of any messages from a community is not an indication of the end of that community, nor am I aware of any process to “scrub” a community, unless you’re referring to the act of an instance administrator deleting a community on their own instance.
My first recommendation is to become familiar with one flavour of Linux. Debian is a solid choice and it will give you a good understanding of how a great many derivatives operate.
The command line is a tool to get things done, it’s not an end to itself. Some things are easier to do with a GUI, many things are easier to do with the command line interface or CLI.
Many Linux tools are tiny things that take an input, process it and produce an output. You can string these commands together to achieve things that are complex with a GUI.
Manipulation of text is a big part of this. Converting things, extracting or filtering data, counting words
For example, how many times do you use the words “just” and “simply” in the articles you write?
grep -oiwE "just|simple" *.txt | sort | uniq -c
That checks all the text files in a directory for the occurrence of either word and shows you how many occurred and what capitalisation they used.
In other words, learning to use the CLI is about solving problems, one by one, until you don’t have to look things up before you understand why or how it works.
Sounds like a two-for-one deal. Win! Win!
It’s true, but it’s not obvious if you’re new to the fediverse, since until now the closest we’ve had to decentralized communities online is Usenet and that’s only familiar to you if you’re been online for 30 years or more.
