When reached for comment the family said, “how could this happen to us? We’re not even trans?”

Have the day you voted for, know that you won’t be the last people in rural areas that this happens to, and that when the AI bubble pops you still won’t get the land back. It’s gone forever.

I apologize, I mean how do you navigate all the jargon you see in laws to get the answers.

The laws across the US are a patchwork of random thoughts that are constantly amended poorly. If you have any questions you should ask a local lawyer (this is a recommendation from a Paul Harrell video from youtube) since none of us will be there to bail you out of jail or pay legal fees in the event something goes wrong.

You could probably get 80% of that process done by learning some python. If you have a string “s”, then replacing double newlines with a single newline is as easy as

re.sub("\n\n", "\n", s)

where “\n” is an LF in many programming languages. A CR is often “\r” in the same vein. Just be aware that regular expressions can be very, very frustrating; and every webpage is going to be a new adventure in how it got formatted. If you use something like spyder it’ll allow you to see what the data looks like inside the python process so you get a chance to iterate.

There is Carriage Return (CR), and also Line Feed (LF, often called New Line). If you think about old mechanical printers with the metal arm sticking out, a CR operation would move the type head to the far left column, and a LF operation would advance the paper by one line. Variously through the years depending on hardware (typewriter, teletype, those early CRTs that you had to refresh the screen, or modern computers) you would get one or both of those if you pressed Return/Enter, and it’s configurable in software, depending on the software. I don’t know what windows does these days with notepad, but at one time the Enter key sent both (CRLF). UNIX style systems tended to use LF, and older Macs as someone else referenced used CR. If you wrote a generic program to handle anything you had to account for all of them. Mostly these days it gets abstracted away which generally works well enough unless a team of people used a random collection of software to edit a text file.

00000031

The 0a is a Line Feed character, and the 0d is a Carriage Return character. In my terminal without piping it through hexdump you get:

printf "\r\nHexadecimal, like that scene from The Martian.\n"

Hexadecimal, like that scene from The Martian.

The LF at the end of the string makes it so that the prompt at the terminal doesn’t appear on the same line as the output, and the blank line before the text is caused by the LF at the beginning. I don’t know/care/have to worry about what eats the CR.

Did anyone ever go in there and show the gold? I thought someone campaigned with that as a promise.

abusive scraping

As opposed to the plain old scraping they do to train AI, and generate revenue by selling user comments for others to train AI.

I read a half-cocked internet theory that a certain someone might’ve purchased twitter just to gain access to an ex-gf’s personal tweets. I judged it as possible but unlikely, as that’s a lot of money to spend on such a thing.

Now, we’ve all heard stories about reddit blocking accounts for no published reason, and tracking folks down across accounts/IP addresses/etc. That code must be pretty expansive to do the things they’ve done. So one has the thought: if you’ve ever reached out to the reddit hive mind for some kind of support with a personal issue of any kind then that data about you is still floating around in their database and tied to whatever alternate accounts you have, even if it was the “good old days” when you did it.

Abusive scraping, my ass.

I know this is a shitpost, but here’s the explanation: you can’t force people to like you.

You may get off on power trips going to businesses where people aren’t allowed to deny you service or return bad attitude in kind, but everywhere else you’re a $1000/hour with a forty hour minimum payment in advance work starts after the check clears kind of guy.

This thread played out like one of those meetings about women’s issues where they only have male speakers.

I’ll try to add a little to the conversation, though. The article talks about how the online spaces were all deep dark corners of the internet. At least part of that is because places like reddit got rid of those subreddits.

I ended up creating an account just to block communities/users. At the time there was a poster posting to his own instance that was federated with lemmy.world, and he was reposting nothing but reddit posts, and the volume was such that they had to go. With no algorithm there’s no way to just see subscribed stuff without losing out on discovering new things.

And just a tip, Lemmy will let you export (to JSON) your configuration options to include who you’ve blocked.

Hm. Had been thinking of it in terms of controlling the local file system.

Thanks.

What happens if there’s an extra 4GB of stuff laying around?
