It’s way less innocuous than you think.

But yeah, it’s only the stuff that you’d expect it to send. And only the stuff it needs to send. But the thing is, the valuable data those social networks gather is almost exactly that. They will invade your privacy and get everything they can, but the real value is on that and what you read. (What you read isn’t shared here.)

Lemmy doesn’t have the censorship and speech-control from those platforms, but it pretty much distributes your data widely to anybody that asks for it.

Hum… The first one doesn’t seem designed for that. It’s just an afterthought use China added after it became popular.

And the second one is probably designed for apathy and “productivity enabling”. It will certainly get a redesign now.

Meanwhile, some people seem to not want the apathy and “productivity enabling” apps from the US. Too bad there aren’t many alternatives.

Yeah, that’s probably how they’ll solve it.

Does it spark as much as a Star Trek high-tech panel?

If not, it’s not futuristic enough.

you can obviously change the settings

And pray the settings don’t change further.

Because they will. I have no idea why or when they do that, but those numbers will always corrupt, there was never an alternative.

I’m not sure China wants westerns using their internal propaganda app. Mixing the internal and external propaganda quickly leads to absurdities.

I’m divided between saying it’s really great or that it should be a book and the man page should be something else.

Good thing man has search, bad thing a lot of people don’t know about that.

The “active” status.

Any project with it set is active, any project with it not set isn’t. And you set them all to active when you create the toggle.

If the users complain, you make them tell you an specific rule that can you can use to auto-change a subset of the projects in a cron job. Expecting anything like this to have a complete objective definition is delusional.

Every time I see a “US eagle” with a speech balloon…

Well, when a bald eagle is depicted on TV, it’s usually “dubbed” by a hawk. I’d recommend anybody to search what those eagles actually sound like, so you can laugh too.

Nah, it’s in the past.

But people, if you are writing a command that detects a terminal to decide to color its output or not, please add some overriding parameters to it.

only 1 of them has been more complex than “I want to alias this single command”

I have some literal shell aliases that took me hours to debug…

I really recommend that if you haven’t, that you look at the Bash’s man page.

It’s just amazing.

You are mathing wrong. The GP is correct, except for the fact that it applies to the Y axis.

(… it’s a much smaller change on the X axis anyway, something with 10 zeros before the first non-zero digit…)
