You can’t be shadowbanned in Lemmy and I doubt the developers will ever add it, OP just misunderstood the situation.

Huh, I missed that when skimming through the post and source code

I am considering implementing my own ActivityPub server to remove the dependency on a Lemmy server to get votes,

I saw that part and misunderstood it as if he didn’t run an instance.
Thanks for pointing it out!

Honestly surprised you’re able to get lemmy votes without an admin account, I thought that data was restricted to instance admins.

I think they limit it to upvotes for normal users

University students get free pro licenses for jetbrains IDEs I think

It’s just a variation of typosquatting as the author themself acknowledge. I always have to double check the package name when installing a new package. This just seems like a natural variation of it.

I think it’s a thing mainly for hobby programmers and young students that don’t have a solid foundation/grasp of programming yet, which also likely makes up a big portion of programming meme communities.

Functional programming would have quite the problem if it wasn’t a thing.

No, they are talking about weights that spits out a body fat percentage alongside the weight.

The memes/absurdity is just about the only positive thing you can say about Trump

The hen can’t be alone with the fox or the grain, so it’s still the same.

This sort of reminds me of the library where someone implemented classes in elixir. It sounds like a fun project to do, but is there any utility in this?

I like python, but I wouldn’t want anywhere near my elixir code

So you mean debugging then?

I’m not anti bash or fish, I’ve written in both just this week, but if we’re talking about readability/syntax as this post is about, and you want an alternative to bash, I’d say python is a more natural alternative. Fish syntax is still fairly ugly compared to most programming languages in my opinion.

Different strokes for different folks I suppose.

For example, how could it know whether cat $foo should be cat "$foo", or whether the script actually relies on word splitting? It’s possible that $foo intentionally contains multiple paths.

Last time I used ShellCheck (yesterday funnily enough) I had written ports+=($(get_elixir_ports)) to split the input since get_elixir_ports returns a string of space separated ports. It worked exactly as intended, but ShellCheck still recommended to make the splitting explicit rather than implicit.

The ShellCheck docs recommended

IFS=" " read -r -a elixir_ports <<< "(get_elixir_ports)"
ports+=("${elixir_ports[@]}")

If you’re going to write scripts that requires installing software, might as well use something like python though? Most Linux distros ship also ship with python installed

Writing Lua code that also interacts with C code that uses 0 indexing is an awful experience. Annoys me to this day even though haven’t used it for 2 years

How about 8 hours troubleshooting while trying to find the right documentation.

Really people should go to the kernel threads and read all of them carefully and the links to the social media and read them careful too, it’s not too big.

No, people who aren’t involved with the kernel should not get involved with this, that’s Torvald’s point. You can’t let a serious project like Linux be affected by social media uproar, let the developers sort it out amongst themselves.

Depends on your instance’s definition. We define it as:

3.6. Vote Manipulation: Attempts to manipulate the voting system is not tolerated including the usage of sock puppet accounts, target voting someone for who they are rather than their content, and mass downvoting posts.

We once banned a few accounts for mass down voting, i.e. their (total downvotes - total upvotes) were over 6 000. One account had downvoted more than 10 000 times in a single community.
