Stupid question but is it possible to get a virus from an MKV file.
  • You're on linux? The odds of you getting a virus on linux are not 0 but very slim, since the userbase is very small.

    Plus, viruses prey on people's ignorance. The usual "movie file viruses" are .exe files and can only be run on windows. Most people don't enable the option to show file extensions on windows, so a filed named "movie.mkv.exe" would show up as "movie.mkv" instead.

    IMO, the odds of you accidentally running a virus by playing a .mkv file on linux are as high as the odds of you winning the lottery 3 times in a row.

  • yup. sync seems to parse it and take any & code and renders it as the actual character. lets lest it.

  • doesn't for me. definitely a client issue. these little quirks are what keeps programmers up at night.

  • Following this logic you don't work very hard.

    The one who works hard is the worker you depend on. That worker can go work elsewhere, but you need him. Pay him his worth, because he's literally the support pillar. I'm sure you know what happens when there's no support pillar.

    It's not because you tell people what to do that you work harder. Those people could have done it themselves, but they didn't have the money to start something as big as amazon. It's all about how much money you have to invest, not hard work.

    Some billionares do work hard because they happened across a smart idea and they were able to make it flourish.

    Smart ideas with money to invest = hard worker

    Smart ideas but poor = ???

  • Also it's crazy to think that someone who has that much money works harder (proportionally to the amount they make) than someone who can't even take a piss break without fear of being fired.

    I use Sync for lemmy, it's a mess but it's the app that's the closest to Joey for me. They charge 30$ to remove ads or 135$(lifetime, it's like 3$ monthly) to be able to import/export communities lmao
