I'm definitely not your overlord. Nope, not at all, not sure why you'd ever think that. Definitely no sarcasm in this comment.

Welcome again, everyone! Make yourself at home. In the time-honoured tradition of our group, here is our weekly discussion thread!
We have a Matrix homeserver, where I am your overlord friendly server admin :), at genzedong.xyz. See this thread for information about our Matrix space.

The main thing is just make sure you know what the command is going to do before you run it. There are no specific commands that are dangerous, there are many ways to make a dangerous command. For example, if you see rm
, that's the remove command. It deletes files permanently. Once rm
removes a file, there's no trash you can retrieve it from, it's gone forever, so make sure it isn't deleting anything important. Some important things are /
and ~
. If you see a command removing /
like the one Sleepless One mentioned, that's removing all the files on your system. /
is the root directory, it's the place where everything on your computer is stored. ~
is your home directory. It's where things like your documents, pictures, etc. are stored. So, if someone gives you sudo rm -r ~
or something, do not run that. If it's something like ~/.config/somefile
, that's fine because it's deleting a specific file inside your home directory rather than the whole thing.
sudo
is just running things as root, which is an account on every Linux system that has permission to do everything. The dangerous part is running a sudo
command if you don't know what it's doing, because using the extra permissions, a command can do things like delete your files, break your system, install malware, etc. sudo
itself isn't going to do anything bad, but the command it runs could.
Mostly as a joke. No one seriously uses it as a descriptor. We call ourselves Marxists-Leninists.
That term wasn't made up by us lol, we stole it from libs when they started calling us that.
We support Stalin and Mao because they advanced the Marxist cause. We support them because they worked towards establishing communism. Most of what the west spreads about them is blatant propaganda. The CIA itself admitted in an internal brief that Stalin was never a dictator. I also personally know people who have lived under Stalin and speak very highly of him. If you read their works, it would be obvious that they're not monsters and they never were.
Oh, that's what you meant. Yeah, that could be an issue, but I imagine at least some hosts will pay for the API if it affects them, depending on how much it costs. Hopefully they can continue to work. If not, it might be time to do some web scraping and get around the API.
TankieReplyBot doesn't run on Reddit, it's Lemmy only. This won't affect it.

So not only did the train derail and spill toxic chemicals everywhere, the truck carrying the spilled toxic chemicals overturned and spilled them again. Amazing. You can't make this stuff up 🤦♀️
‘Either you leave now or someone’s going to need to call EMS,’ a bailiff warned protesters
They're evicting her because she isn't at the house often enough, and definitely not at all because she's a whistleblower. After all, landlords are known for their honesty and trustworthiness. 🙄
You know something's wrong when the police is telling bailiffs that they're being too violent towards protesters.
What do you get for the billionaire who has everything? Perhaps his own town.

I can already see his fanboys doing mental gymnastics to justify this one.
The family of a Tennessee woman who died in police custody is speaking out after police video showing what happened between Knoxville officers arresting a woman at a hospital and her being found un…

No charges were filed against the officers. The police are investigating themselves. I predict they'll find that they did nothing wrong.
Edit: There's bodycam footage. Don't watch it unless you're prepared to deal with extreme anger towards those disgusting pigs. I don't think I've ever felt this angry and enraged in my life.
