If she were a tech lead, she would be reading the git logs !?!!

How evil of her to expect people to use their brain at work?

They need to keep their brain unused for when they smoke their state sponsored tobacco, which has all the right to use that brain.

I would have a problem if a terminal app were to do something like this, but for GUI apps, it is expected for them to make stuff easier.
And I feel like, if you were to use a slash in a file name, it would most probably be either an "or" slash or a fraction slash, so the substitution is fine in my books.

illegal characters

Not sure about calling it that, considering it is a standard UTF-8 character. (0x2044 in UTF-16)

Your machine translation is working well.

Now just if we had all famous people saying stuff like this.
But they won't. Guess why? Because the "won't" is what made them famous (and rich),


Lay people give more heed to those acting from the start, like they have the answers. That's what "charisma" is about.
Also one of the reasons why religion gets easier wins. Because when people hear something that makes them have to think more, they ignore it more.

What law is being broken here?

The law of "don't take money from the rich and powerful; only they take ~~their~~ your money".

Since you are using electronics as a facilitator, could it be e-quip ?

Well, considering that I am with coworkers who don't remember when to and not to put the '/' at the start of the file path (despite me explaining it to them multiple times), "slash e t c" is probably the better way.

Yeah, but we don't know if we can do the case sensitive thingy on that, or do we?

Just tried. It processes the escape first and then finds the path with it. Essentially, making it look into a directory made by the characters before the \/.

The above was when I tried:

echo "asd" > asd\/dsa

But then I tried using Dolphin (GUI File Browser) to make a file and:

❯ ls
 1   2   3   4  'asd\⁄sad.txt'
❯ ls
1  2  3  4  asd⁄sad.txt

In the first one, the backslash is not the escape character, but part of the text.

Turns out Dolphin just replaces the forward slash with U+2044 "Fraction Slash" character, hence, not requiring any escape. I'd call that cheating, but it works well.

Isn't there an application on Windows that allows you to open ext4? You check it out on that

 

Relevant Article: Asian News International sues Wikipedia for "Defamation" and Archived version

Apparently, Delhi High Court asked Wikipedia to disclose information about editors of said article, which made some controversial edits on the Wikipedia ANI page.

The article states that Wikipedia failed to provide said information.

From the article

Wikipedia explained that the delay had been caused as the platform didn’t have any physical presence in India.

“It is not a question of the defendant not being an entity in India. We will close your business transactions here," the judge said in a stark warning.

ANI asks for removal of said "controversial" edits and wants ₹20000000, ~$240k from Wikipedia.


Archived original article


From the related article:

2022-10-10: Ayurvedic Medicine Manufacturers of India filed petitions to the Supreme Court, saying that an article on Wikipedia about them, as defamatory. To that, the bench said, "You can edit the Wikipedia article..." and that they could use "any other remedy available to them".


Additional information from me:

  • IP Addresses of people in Talk and the times of edit are available freely on the Wikipedia page.
  • Wikipedia SHOULD NOT be expected to have the ability to trace people on the internet any more than that.
 

I came across a stackexchange thread asking if system root access will be required to be given to the user.

And the answer explaining the license and saying they needed to let the user be able to swap the libs on the system somehow.

And because I just joined the community and can't comment there, here I am.

I feel like, the seller doesn't really need to give root access to the user as long as they allow the user to copy said proprietary software on another system (and this act not be restricted by the license) and then do whatever they feel like, as long as the original system is immutated.

Thoughts?

Came back to the game after a year or so, just to see this:

Shows how to opt-out

At least they let us disagree to the ToC. Not sure if I can play the game after that though, since I just exited after clicking the disagree button.

Also, at least they show us the changes on the top, so we know what happened.

Would it make sense to consider asking Tokodon to support connecting with Lemmy servers, or is there too big a difference between the APIs, requiring a separate application?
