I get out of my certification exam and there's only one thread and they put the wrong day so the admins couldn't find it.

This is why we can't have anything nice. I'll just copy yesterday's OP

I was trying to html-ify some page I getted and randomly noticed weird ass character (reddit titles) and then I got it down to a list of mostly stupid emojies.

Basically HTML was rendering those fancy quotation marks weirdly so I was just gonna regex replace the most frequent ones.

Then I found this character that just looks like a space.

I tried asking od -X what it was but

printf "___   ___"

was turning into

printf "__ ___"

and it would just glitch out the characters so I just put it in a file and asked it that way..

so

\xef\xb8\x8f

(i clicked post on the post too early not done yet...)

So then I opened up the file where I have this "character(s)" in and WTF is this and more importantly how does this end up in a reddit title lmfao??

So I opened the file and wrote

The quick brown fox (deleted 3 to change fox to marsey) marsey (newline)
jumped over the slow carp

what is this black magic

Like up to 400$. My current phone broke and fixing it is too expensive id rather get a new one. I dont care about chinese spyware so it can also be OPPO or Xiaomi or whatever. For now i was thinking about Motorola G82 or Redmi Note 10 Pro but im still not sure. Drop some decent recommendations. Just not Huawei or some chinese brand i never heard about.

I'm switching my Linux install away from PopOS because GNOME is shit. With the release of Solus 4.4 and MX Linux 23 I've narrowed it down to those two, which should I pick?

compose up is looping on an error

column emojis.over_18 does not exist

error starts after

('zzz','Classic',2,'zzz animated emoticon sleep asleep tired sleepy sleeping')
ON CONFLICT (name) DO UPDATE SET tags = EXCLUDED.tags;
[93] [ERROR] Exception worker in process

Then it gives me the traceback saying connection to postgres failed on port 5432

This happened on the newest commit, I don't get it? I even reset docker with

docker system prune -a -f

after deleting my fsd fork and doing a brand new clone

e:

Can't tell if it's a greater issue or just /d/files/helpers/https://const_stateful.py doing a db query when it does, becaude this is where the error references on line 22 for x in db.query(Emoji.name) ...

e2:

column emojis.over_18 does not exist

history is where the deep memes are stored

the deep memes are pulled out and wielded by the historian class

strong historian tells a strong story about a man called Oppenheimer

so that we can remember what it was like to feel the fear

that the Germans might soon have the bomb

like the film or hate it, it is a necromancy-of-the-light. so the memes become the form of the living dead. praise be to the lord.

I am here to tell a history, a recent one. I'll tell it in stages, and at intervals. Today I want to begin with

nowadays one takes for granted the anti-corporate politics. it took leftists to tell the truth which simply became known. the right would prefer not to know. even now the right lives in denial rather than purpose. this is a problem. they must be rallied.

but for those of us who grew up in the 90s, the Millennials, there was a time when people sided with corporations! serious people! who were taken seriously!

to some extent we must all be those people, because we are so aware that there are only people in those corporations. this can be true, and it can also be true that people who act on behalf of money become meat suits for that money.

Project Dartlang

It's west coast time in California as Lars Bak and Kasper Lund decide to make a name for themselves as fools and inflict the world with another programming language. These two people never seemed to adequately understand why people did not in fact want Google to embed its own vm in its browser for its own language in one of many naked attempts to grab power on the web. Many have sought to conquer the web. But the web lives on.

Lars Bak: It's just that Javascript sucks so much.

Kasper Lung: And Dart has features!

This went on for a long time. The chrome team won that political battle and the dart vm was never put into the browser. The value proposition for dart was always dubious.

This didn't stop people from falling for it. Thus was the hatred of Javascript.

Today Javascript is safely locked away. Below the surface. You can barely hear it, but it's there.

Waiting.

2023

Another developer has decided that it is time to give the users what they do not want in the name of Google.

What happened to marsey.moe? I can't access it anymore. If there is another fediverse for rdrama, please let me know.

Good video that goes through all the way in which the internet is fake nowadays.

Wtf is this SSL error? Site fine works on Chrome.

Thought this looked pretty cool. Thoughts?

What's up bitches wiggle hard here, just wanted to share with you that my time as a super villain on lemmy has come to an end. It was not by choice, but basically the guy that ran our website did not want to do it anymore. As many of you know free forum which is now known as the dank taco microwave started on ruqqus. We always allowed people to say what they want even if it went against my right wing authoritarianism ideology lol. Users like yobama actively sought to censor us on lemmy and now lemmy is shedding users because of censorship they're imposing upon people that aren't even nearly as controversial as I am. Either way it's over now and now I'm being forced to go back to gab to host my community over there until Nostr actually has a functional website. Until then I will continue to drive my 18 wheeler truck and post all sorts of conservative and right wing news and opinion pieces. until next time piece out
