Does the cross mean “oh, it’s actually only 3 things other than that one legendary dwarf”, “hating elves” or “no relationships”?

Wrong number of texts, too

More like 10-15 cm but yes

Gloves, too.

Both look very much like .NET development with C# in Visual Studio. Each of these way too much Microsoft for a Lemmy user to touch.

Person #2 is way too masculine and attractive. The people in picture #3 are way too close to touching grass and socializing. The furry (#4) is indeed the most believable.

Unless it’s the 52Hz whale. I’d shed a tear for that lonely creature; not for that biologist though.

It’s just the regular penguin. Clickbait!!!1!!

Digital Radio Mondiale enthusiasts: First time?

Nice, Côte d’Azur!

Well, George Lucas has been gaslighting us about the OT for decades

Imagine your kid watches Return of the Jedi and asks: “Why did they make every ship’s computer so primitive when they could apparently do CGI characters back then?” That will make you feel old.

Ground News service for free! Thanks, random Lemming!

This fence does not seem safe enough

Yeah. I am not a native speaker of either language though, is “shitting sb.” something one might say?

Anyway, the etymology, as I understand it, is:

• Herr Gott/Herrgott: “Lord”, or literally “Mr God”, typical way German-speaking Christians address God
• bescheißen: screw, bullshit
• -erie: French feminine noun ending, sometimes used as the English “-er”

So yeah, you could translate it as “thing to bullshit the Lord”, or “Godbullshitter”.

You don’t need to know much German to tell that Herrgottb’scheisserie does not quite translate to “Fool the Lord”.

Oh my God? Where? What is this system called, usenet?

I’m not an expert but probably because it’s Dutch

Probably more. Just search for ‘x’ in a name register and filter the normal ones like Alex.

Yeah, (O)OP is such a rookie they probably call it Homework, which is a well-known trick. The correct stealth strategy is a directory called linux_malware_test_vm_imgs containing archives such as

I know PDF providers who visibly print the customer’s name or number in the header of every page, along with short copyright text. I use qpdf --stream-decompress to make the PDF into human-readable PostScript, and then Python+regex to remove each header text, which stand out a bit from other PDF elements. The script throws an error if more or fewer elements than pages have been removed but that hasn’t happened yet. Processed documents sometimes have screwed-up non-ASCII characters in the Table of Contents for some reason but I don’t have the originas anymore so IDK if it’s my fault. Still, I wouldn’t share the PDFs unless in text-only or printed form because of any other steganographic shenanigans in the file. I would absolutely torrent them if I could repurchase them under a new identity and verify that the files are identical.

BTW, has anyone figured out how to embed Python code in PDF? The whitespace always gets reencoded as x-coordinates so copy&pasting it never preserves indentation. No, you can’t use the Ogham Space Mark (Unicode’s only non-blank character classified as a space) for indentation in Python, I tried.

Yes. Technically, a similar vote could repeal the law just as easily but there is a history of governments not giving their power away easily; implementing it also sets a precedent and creates technical enforcement options for other governments willing to go through with something similar in the future, or for hackers to exploit because gov-rooted devices will remain in operation for years after the potential repeal.
