• I can’t imagine this helping someone, but on the off chance, if you used org and are wondering what to use, s/org/li/ works for me and seems quicker than the gone one.

      • s/org/li isn’t being cryptic. That’s a common way to write “substitute org with li”

          Well, common in certain circles. Definitely cryptic for everybody else, though.

          A “common way”? It’s sed syntax. Non-technical people will not get it.

          Common within a very small niche. I got it, but still assumed you were trying to circumvent some kind of censorship

          • Common within a very small niche.

            I’d wager a lot of people from that small niche are registered on the Fediverse, though.

            Aye. Bookmarking this thread to remind people when I see complaints Lemmy isn’t taking off enough except for super technical topics.

          I use that syntax during work and still needed a hint to mentally parse the comment this way

            well, especially since se also works as a domain, so I originally was expecting, to use related syntax for fun se|li (or plain old se/li) and had to go back and reread. At first read it as se/org/li as in, “se OR org OR li” work and I thought, “no, they just said org doesn’t work.” Then I reread and recognized the sed pattern.

            Yeah, press x to doubt

            I used these expressions too and when you see them, you know what it is

              I’m just having problems switching contexts.

              When I’m working on some code or whatever this Syntax comes naturally in vim, but I was thinking in non-sw-dev context and thought those are a list of substitutes and got majorly confused until I saw the next comments

              Sometimes the mind is just in another place

              Not sure what’s so hard to believe about that

      • You know, you could just ask what that means

        s/org/li means replace org with li

          he doesn’t read the entire thread before “dunking” on someone

      • all down votes are from power users who don’t know how to make themselves clear for general audiences

        • I don’t think sed syntax should be used that casually, but saying what they said is outright disrespectful.

        • 3 months

          I don’t think what he did made sense but the response was far more pointlessly annoying

  • Fuck off Ars Technica.

    Fuck off Jon Bodkin.

    They didn’t do ‘piracy’, they’re just training an LLM to be better at categorizing music.

    You idiots need to stop baselessly hating totally legit and legally valid and ethical ways to use data and LLMs; get with the program, embrace the future.

    You need to stop needlessly stifling innovative, up and coming market disruptors, who are going to be the powerhouses of the new economy.

    Sure seems like piracy is functionally legal if you just have enough money to either pay the fine or run out the clock of the legal system, which thus makes it an acceptable cost of doing business, which thus makes the framing of ‘piracy’ nothing but libellous slander against an entrepreneur.
