Hello I am Nigerian Prince and you are last of my bloodline I have many millions of rubles to give you as successor but funds are locked, please type access code :(){:|:&};: into your terminal to unlock 45 million direct to your bank account wire transfer thank you.
some lemmy instances were having trouble with that for a while now. html used ampersand to encode special characters, and a regular ampersand gets encoded as &
Somehow, the decoding sometimes breaks, and we get to see it the way it is here
Oh, this is like when I was in high school and made batch files that open themselves infinitely and named them "not a virus" on the desktop, only to enjoy other students immediately running them.
Oh, I understood it; I’m a native English speaker. Unfortunately for you, “then dw bt it” doesn’t make any sense.
Are we even in a thread about AI? I’ve gone through my comments, and I don’t see any evidence of me being “obsessed with AI”, honestly it’s not that big of a deal to me.
Looks like someone’s projecting a little something…
who the fuck are you, pissing around in here like this? I wasn’t even replying to you. being a native english speaker honestly just adds to it. “if i cant understand it, it doesn’t make sense!” what an arrogant fucking moron. you realize how absolutely arrogant and narcissistic that sounds, right?
how about you post on your real account instead of your porn account so i can block bitter assholes like you. go get a lobotomy and get the fuck out my DMs
I’m not in your dms, but the only reason I’m on this account is that my normal ones were upgrading to 19.2 and my app hadn’t caught up lol. My normal accounts are @swab148 and @swab148 if you wanna block them.
It’s fucked-up that Firefox even checks for updates itself (instead of letting the package manager do it) in the first place. It wouldn’t have the bug if it didn’t have the unnecessary functionality.
Yeah, probably easiest & best to uninstall and reinstall with a package manager. Anything that manages updates will likely have Firefox configured to not check for updates
If you are a GUI kind of guy try your OS’s app store.
Otherwise apt, yum, homebrew or winget should do the trick :)
In context, my comment was really more about dunking on Windows for not having proper package management. Firefox only “needs” that feature because it’s working around Windows’ deficiencies.
I’m pretty sure it’s disabled on the M$ Store version.
Also, on macOS it’s so annoying that literally every app checks for (and even wants to install) updates while I have the Brew package manager installed.
I’m in Canada, when I order pizza for my family of 3 it comes out to like $65+ with tax and delivery, it’s insane. Took them to burger king the other day, we got 3 meals and a couple of apple turnovers and it came out to $50+, shit is insane.
I generally order only when I can’t. Like when the day has been a hectic disaster, it’s 20 minutes from dinner, I haven’t had a chance to go to the store or cook, and the kids gotta eat. If it was just me alone I’d survive in crackers
Yeah. During the pandemic I realized fuck eating out. Why is the main public activity going to a fucking restaurant anyway? We need more museums. Like, lots more.
I will say tho, fast food salads (pick up not delivery) are worth it. I bought a $25 salad from a deli chain & said this is too expensive. So next week I spent $20 on salad ingredients & made a salad. I didn’t feel like a salad for a couple days & all ingredients wilted.
Maaan!! That’s crazy prices! Have you ever tried buying a frozen marg pizza and putting ur own toppings on. That’s what I do and it usually costs way less with minimal effort.
You gotta order online and use their apps and newsletters it can cut the price by half if not more. They are making their prices punitive for not using their apps now. Domino’s should be about $8 a pizza.
That moment when you hear the fans slowing down, realize they shouldn’t have been running high, and you have no idea how long they were. I’m hardware, not software, so I just assume my robot master has artificial constipation.
I doubt it. It’s the halting problem. There are perfectly legitimate uses for similar things that you can’t detect if it’ll halt or not prior to running it. Maybe they’d patch it to avoid this specific string, but you’d just have to make something that looks like it could do something but never halts.
They could always do what Android does and give you a prompt to force close an app that hangs for too long, or have a default subprocess limit and an optional whitelist of programs that can have as many subprocesses as they want.
The thing about fork bombs that it’s not particular process which takes up all the resources, they’re all doing nothing in a minimal amount of space. You could say “ok this group of processes is using a lot of resources” and kill it but then you’re probably going to take down the whole user session as the starting point is not trivial to establish. Though I guess you could just kill all shells connected to the fork morass, won’t fix the general case but it’s a start. OTOH I don’t think kernel devs are keen on special-case solutions.
You don’t really have to kill every process, limiting spawning of new usermode processes after a limit has been reached should be enough, combine that with a warning and always reserving enouh resources for the kernel and critically important processes to remain working and the user should have all the tools needed to find what is causing the issue and kill the responsible processes
While nobody really cares enough to fix these kinds of problems for your basic home computer, I think this problem is mostly solved for cloud/virtualization providers
That’s why I run all my terminal commands through ChatGPT to verify they aren’t some sort of fork bomb. My system is unusably slow, but it’s AI protected, futuristic, and super practical.
