  • J'ai pas de lunettes, donc j'ai pas trop idée pour le côté entretien, mais pour le côté renouvellement, 5 ans c'est un rythme que j'observe pas mal autour de moi, surtout pour les gens qui portent leur lunettes en permanence

  • I tried ZorinOS, thinking it would be a nice transition from Windows to Linux, but it's so nice i think i'll stick with it for a while. Classic Windows-like recommendation is Linux Mint, and if i'm not mistaken both are ubuntu-based, so you would take advantage of that knowledge

  • What's the deal with db0? They don't seem like nazis/rightwingers

  • "Chatte" (female cat) is the equivalent of pussy in english.

    "Poulet" (chicken) is a cop. "Poulette" (hen) is a rather disrespectful word for a women.

    "Gorille" (gorilla) is a tall muscular person.

    "Cochon" (pig) is someone filthy, especially in the sexual sense. (can be used as an adjective, "films cochons" are porn films).

    "Canard" (duck) can be a newspaper, or a mistake when playing music.

    "Levrette" (female greyhound) is the name for the doggy style sexual position.

    "Vache" (cow) can be either someone mean, either a cop. The second case is rarely used except in the sentence "Mort aux vaches" (death to the cops) and probably comes from the Wache germanic root for Guardian, rather than the actual animal.

  • Y'all seem to think that those people only exist in one random Lemmy community and never use anything else.

    Women getting too much and too bad male input is literally what leads to women only spaces, not the other way around. And yet they still get male input everywhere else. It's like thinking going to a Warhammer shop will radicalize you because they don't play poker there, it's not even stupid, it's absurd.

  • The iranian site seems to indeed be called Fordo, and is buried too deep for Israeli weapons to be effective. So talking about "destroying Fordo" effectively seems to be equivalent to talking about US nukes according to that article

  • The "memes" by the Lemmy devs really are the best advertisment for Piefed and Mbin

  • I enjoy your enthusiasm but

    I highly recommend [...] to everyone

    and

    It's not for the faint of heart.

    are a bold choice of juxtaposed sentences.

  • I think the idea here is not to say that hiphop/rap does not talk about or even glorify drug use/violence/misoginy, but rather that most popular music styles do, in this specific case classic country.

  • To use .dll VSTs on Linux with Reaper, i use yabridge. If i understood correctly it mixes the use of the linux .so VST format and Wine to trick the VSTs into thinking they run on Windows. So you can run Reaper outside of Wine, and automatically have access to Windows VSTs (once you setup yabridge properly).

    It has some huge limitations (most Waves plugins are a big no, getting Kontakt to work seems to involve black magic way beyond my understanding, etc) but i got some plugins to work very well!

    On the safety of Wine, i'm not sure at all. From what i understand of this forum, Wine itself is not really dangerous, but it does not block applications from communicating with Linux filesystem and environment so it's not 100% safe. However you are slightly protected by the niche aspect of Linux, which makes it unlilely for attackers to take time to code a virus that handles Linux way of working. And from my small experience with hacked VSTs on Windows, most werent a threat, especially when i took them from the same hacking team

  • Yup, seeing a french flag in a private context feels off, you immediately get the sense that whoever put it up has very intense feelings about the Motherland/Fatherland.

  • Well, not sure what you mean by hallucinating, but there are some LLMs (chatgpt3.5-turbo-instruct) that could play chess at a good amateur level (1750 elo), and by studying them, some people found parameters in the model that seemed to represent the current state of the chess board (as in, they corresponded to the game, and changing them artificially made the LLM play as if the game as always been that way).

  • For anyone curious but not wanting to read the article :

    The python fastest ways of the base article are mainly using a for loop and using regex (first one is faster on small string, regex becomes faster around 25 characters).

    For loop :

     python
        
    def loop_in(s):
        for c in s:
            if c in "aeiouAEIOU":
                return True 
        return False 
    
    
      

    Regex :

     python
        
    import re
    def regex(s):
        return bool(re.search(r'[aeiouAEIOU]', s))
    
    
      

    There are updates to the article, suggesting faster ways. First one uses the find() function, second one swaps the strings of the For Loop method :

     python
        
    def loop_in_perm(s):
            for c in "aeiouAEIOU":
                if c in s:
                    return True
            return False
    
      
  • Clearly, and i never said the opposite.

  • Iran which was tolerable to media a few months ago

    In what parallel reality do you live in ? It has been classified as one of the worse country for press freedom since years by RSF, they shutdown internet when things get out of hand and banned a lot of social medias.

  • I don't entirely disapprove your position, but i feel like this is a really bad argument. First, because it's only a boycott of one parade, when people get abducted and deported. Second because they only 'plan' or 'say they'll' do it.

    This does not feel like a victory at all, this feels like satisfying yourself on crumbs

    Edit : making it gender neutral

  • From the Wikipedia articles of chess and shatranj (old middle-east/south asia ancestor of chess), without checking their sources :

    • king, knight, rook and pawn move the same (except the initial 2 squares for the pawn, which were introduced later)
    • queen only moves one square at a time diagonally
    • bishop only moves two squares at a time diagonally (jumping over potential pieces)
  • Permanently Deleted

    Jump
  • Do you want to leave your country, at least for a bit of time (or is it possible that political/social instabilities will make you want that in the future)? That could be a hint for medicine.

    I studied law for 3 years and hated it, but it's mostly because of my philosophical/political beliefs. On the bright side, it is very diverse, so you could quite easily connect it to something you like (art, environment, digital, politics, etc).

    Anyway, good luck for your exams!
