THE BELOW MESSAGE
That's not how adjective order works.
Wait until she finds out about daemons.
Or the rituals I hold in my server room to appease the Omnissiah
My atheist configuration doesn't allow me to believe in daemons: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/10022442/37361421-26026212-26f3-11e8-8e97-d5136bce5e41.gif
Why's it a static gif
That's... a great question. What's the purpose of a gif with only one frame?
You're young. Young enough to have to google my username meaning. Maybe also google what GIF means: Graphics Interchange Format. Long tima go you could find images on the internet, and they were always GIF, because JPG didn't exist.
But yes, it's quite strange nowadays, I agree Oh, yes, I used the net before smileys were a thing :-)
The same purpose as a PNG or JPEG?
You know that GIF is not specifically a format for animations, right? It’s just a lossless image format.
Yeah, but it's almost always used for animations. Seeing one that's not animated just feels... weird.
Now, that’s just a recent development. 20 years ago it was a common format for images on the interwebs.
I like how at the start of the line it explicitly says "out of memory" but we're just pretending this is some satanic bullshit.
She obviously read the error to find "kill process" and "sacrifice child" but still ignored the memory error
Right, because non-technical people would be expected to understand what an "out of memory" error means
The point is, it's cherry-picking
You have so much to learn about people who feed into the Satanic panic. Cherry picking is by definition how they get there. One of Alex Jones biggest boggiemen for years was a subsection of a law that allowed medical testing on troops, and he always ignores the very next section that states that it all requires informed consent. Then lies and act like people would have no idea.
During covid he found an exercise that tried to assume 4 different future scenarios that may come into play, and ignored the positive leaning ones or nuetralish ones and went straight for the heavily authoritarian exercise because it used a possible pandemic as a background setting, then claimed it was all planned out and proof Covid was a bioweapon attack.
People like this willfully ignore things that give context, and will often repackage it without the context anytime they can.
So "sacrifice child" is a common term used in what language? I don't believe in religion but I also don't know a whole lot about computer science. So I would believe you if you said it meant something.
But seeing the words "sacrifice child" would rightfully startle anybody. It's nothing to do with cherry picking or satanic panic. It's everything to do with those two very specific words being right next to each other. Nothing else.
Part of the whole panic and cherry picking thing is also an important next step: refusal to do proper research. A simple web search would correctly show you that it's harmless. One might also find sources that claim it's actually satanic, but they'd find those in blogs, social media, or message boards, while legitimate and official sites would show the correct info.
It's up to the person to determine which one is correct. Most logical people would go with the simplest and least sensational definition being the correct one, while those with a conspiratorial mind view would ignore such common sense and choose to panic.
When sacrificing the child, use a dagger made from obsidian. Cut upward from below the sternum, then force the rib cage apart. Push the lungs aside with your hands, then cut out the heart with your ritual dagger. Hold the heart up to the cheering crowd, and then place it in an earthen vessel in honor of the gods. Kick the body down the steps of the temple pyramid.
Actually no. A transsternal access to the heart is impossible with stone tools, even obsidian. Middle american ritual sacrifices were performed transphrenic – they had less problems with the complications of that access as they didn't intend their victim to survive, in contrast to — most — modern surgeons.
Inb4 normies force us to change well established terminology just to appease their fragile souls
Like git's main and master
Whining about that change is kinda a red flag ngl
Right? It’s less letters and it’s pretty clear.
I haven’t found a good action neutral replacement for “black list” yet though. “Deny list” and “block list” are too action-specific.
Sounds like a nono list to me!
I started using git after everyone switched to main from master, so I don't care about the change. But, the change in itself is a red flag.
Why tho
Look, we already got rid of "Master/Slave" in favor of things like "Parent/Child", "Active/Standby", or "Primary/Secondary". We're not making more changes because right-wingers are afraid of everything.
tbh i think "master" terminology is only bad if paired with "slave". the word itself kinda just lost it's original meaning
but I don't really care about git's change. im only using master out of habit
Oh yeah that was a shitshow. I made a point to keep "master" in my repos and configurations because it's the other meaning of master - one of the many others. Words are allowed to mean different things, ya know? If I'm drinking some coke I'm certainly not drugging myself (...I hope).
After all, the command to attach to a master is not "git slave", it's "git pull".
