I cannot make any post/comment containing the string [slash]etc[slash]passwd on lemmy.world (lemmy.world)

When I try to submit a post or comment containing the string [slash]etc[slash] passwd, the submit button goes into a loading state and spins indefinitely. The request is blocked by Cloudflare with status code 403. I can't even search for the forbidden string. You have to check dev tools to find out what went wrong, this error is...

What the heck, it consistently does not work for me. I guess that's not the only deciding factor in why my posts don't go through. I've changed the pronoun in my post from 'you' to 'I' because it doesn't apply to everyone. ^^

alyth OP ,

I remember those shenanigans from Neopets. You couldn't say cucumber on the forums.

Did you know about finger and its accompanying program chfn? It feels like a relic from a different time.

Usage:
 chfn [options] [<username>]

Change your finger information.

Options:
 -f, --full-name <full-name>  real name
 -o, --office <office>        office number
 -p, --office-phone <phone>   office phone number
 -h, --home-phone <phone>     home phone number

 -u, --help                   display this help
 -V, --version                display version

For more details see chfn(1).

I 100%ed Hunie Pop, very addictive and fun game

Tbh when I get caught in the rain I just embrace it and enjoy the feeling

Wouldn't mixing with a wide variety of ages from 18 to 118 be better?

You will work in the NHS or the firefighters and so on, so you will certainly engage with community members of all ages and from all wakes of life. For a year of mandatory service that everybody is meant to complete, 18 is arguably the best time to do it.

slavery

When you walk on a public road past a hospital do you think to yourself "they stole my money to build this"? You have rights and duties as a citizen. Your service benefits the community as a whole.

Also why is the stick to make people do it a fine (so that the rich will just pay if their kids don't want to do it)?

I fully agree with you on this point

alyth ,

this is the first i hear of Arc, is it available as an iOS app only?

alyth ,

That looks clean, thanks for posting the screenshot!

I’ve tried learning GIMP, and it sucks. I’m not saying GIMP sucks, but you have to be crazy to not see that it’s hard to learn.

I use GIMP for memes and here's my two favorite tips

  • Hit the forward slash key / to open a command palette and jump to any action

  • To remove backgrounds, use a layer mask. select around the object and paint a white/black section on the layer mask. Here comes the trick: use a Gaussian filter on the layer mask to create a transition from black to white and the crop job looks a lot less choppy.

My anti-tip

  • Adding text and shapes sucks and I never found a way to make it better. Export your image and finish the job in Krita, Pinta, Photopea, ...

First google search result

if you agree with the opinion that's fine, but why would you admit to posting SEO spam? XD

alyth OP , (edited )

This is probably also pretty easy with some CLI tool.

This is one of the few image tasks I do on the CLI xD

Stack two images horizontally (left and right)

convert a.jpg b.jpg +append horizontal.jpg

Stack two images vertically (top and bottom)

convert a.jpg b.jpg -append vertical.jpg

Images are not the same dimensions? Use gravity to align them at the center and make the unused space transparent

convert a.jpg b.jpg -background transparent -gravity center +append horizontal.png

alyth OP ,

Is anything I quoted untrue?

You basically quoted thin air: "more features [...] for a wide range of advanced editing tasks". You probably know more than what's written there, but from my perspective I haven't learned one concrete feature that PS offers over Affinity. It's typical SEO spam, which rewards swaths of text with little to zero information density.

alyth OP ,

I have no tips and agree with you 100% - never managed to get the fuzzy select or smart scissors going.

alyth OP ,

It sounds like you have made some personal experience with that crowd xD

here's my last opened tux paint "art" for you

alyth OP ,

I am using 2.99.18 (non release, unstable build). Non destructive editing has landed. You can make adjustments through the usual menus and then enable/disable the adjustment under layer effects.

OHH it even works with text layers!!! you can finally add drop shadow to a text without discarding the text information! ;A:

Did not expect to see the Master on 196

i am genuinely worried about you. please reach out to a friend.

Perfect username for this post

alyth ,

That's what I had in mind too. Tar's arguments are really intuitive.

x - eXtract

z - use gZip

v - Verbose

f - File (requires the path as an argument)

Nature Valley disappeared off the shelves where I live and it makes me so sad ;o; I feel so lonely without my weevils :(

I only use Windows in corporate settings and OneDrive / file management has been the single biggest pain point for me, by far.

  • Deleted files magically reappearing
  • Files not showing up after saving
  • Confusing save location of files
  • Confusing navigation in the file manger

Windows tries to copy Apple and fails miserably.

same, thought it was the meme of garfield getting chucked out of the window

alyth ,

The penny has dropped. The original comic is just a white canvas. Someone edited Garfield in.

That's fair advice. Thanks for your good intentions. I'm very sorry about the snark. That was uncalled for.

Instagram Advertises Nonconsensual AI Nude Apps (www.404media.co)

Instagram is profiting from several ads that invite people to create nonconsensual nude images with AI image generation apps, once again showing that some of the most harmful applications of AI tools are not hidden on the dark corners of the internet, but are actively promoted to users by social media companies unable or...

alyth ,

The user reports are reviewed by the same model that screened the ad up-front so it does jack shit

alyth ,

The smiling cat meme is completely inappropriate for this content.

I used to eat the same food every day and ended up with hemorrhoids. Passing stool was a slow, painful, bloody process every time. It took years to recover from that.

I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

I thought P2P still requires a server (STUN, TURN)?

You must be on Debian as your memes haven't been updated since 2017

alyth ,

Really? I just interpreted the use of normie here as "layperson" or "average user" and thought it was completely harmless.

alyth ,

I can't imagine normies getting worked up over what some internet nerd calls them
