  • “I said to them, was there any sign of love?” Trump said, recounting his conversation with released hostages.

    “Did the, Hamas, show any signs of like, help? Or liking you? Did they wink? Did they give you a piece of bread extra? Did they give you a meal on the side? … Like, you know, what happened in Germany?” Trump said, absurdly comparing the hostages’ situation to the Holocaust, which murdered six million Jews.

    “People would try and help people that were in unbelievable distress,” the president went on, suggesting that the Nazis were known for their generosity.

    You can’t make this level of stupidity up.




  • Just as a mild counterexample, I’ve personally changed my views quite drastically over my time on reddit and now lemmy, and most of it was from individuals just sharing their own perspective.

    I held some latent bigotry and misogyny, part of which I picked in my day to day life, and partly from 4ch. I won’t say I’ve eliminated it completely, but I think I’ve become a better person from my interactions online.

    If we’re not out here trying to actively learn from and help other people, then what the heck are we doing?



  • Could someone perhaps explain the major use cases or give a real life example of a time you’ve needed to use awk? I’ve been using Linux casually for quite a long time now, and although I learned the basics of the tool, I can’t recall having ever felt I had a need for it. If I want to glue a bunch of cli stuff together and need to do some text processing, it generally seems like it’d be easier to just use a simple python script.

    Is it more for situations that need to be compatible with most *nix systems and you might not necessarily have access to a higher level scripting language?








  • If anything, Intel’s lack of transparency should speak volumes. They’re hoping to just mostly ignore the problem until it blows over. I still think it’s more severe than they’re letting on, but only time will tell. They’re in full damage control mode right now.

    Anyone who gets scared off of buying Intel CPU’s until they see how this plays out is making a sound decision IMO. Consumers shouldn’t accept this kind of behaviour.

    On the flip side, this could also make for some potentially good deals on unaffected SKUs.
