Wonderful day! 🪐

Ha-ha! Of course, it’s okay to add emojis (or even emotes (/ o.o)/) to an accountable CV for responsible job to get trusted for! 😂
Especially those for security 🔒, privacy 🕵️‍♀️, transparency 👁‍🗨…

If I would look at such CV in search 🧭 for a trusted developer 👩‍💻, sys-admin 💻, manager 📜, accountant 💸, and for military forces ( -.-)7, sure thing the pretty pictures would increase the feel of trust to the level of the outer space and beyond!!!1 💪

Oh! And why just LinkedIn? Perhaps to enhance the sense of accountability, some would want to add emojis to some documents, including employment contracts, Banking issues, weaponry certificates, and passports! Let’s make it shine in sparkles! ✨

Look! LOL! OMG! This is the colleague on fields we need! They have these lovely emojis! Let’s hire them right now!
Since, “There’s no crying in Special Forces!”

Perhaps I am too rarely on Facebook/Meta or in Communities that are not into these politics.

I am sorry, but what do you mean by “Russian propaganda”? It feels like I’ve never seen such on Facebook.

Absolutely not, sorry. No. Never. The terrible sorrow you shared that pollutes, disgraces, devalues, and horribly damages the whole employment processing etc. is for “automating the job application process”.

The question is “gathered job listings”, which is for searching, not applying with no effort and value, I believe. These are utterly different cases/purposes. The former may indeed support someone in search. The later…? Dear, please… no…

But… why… Why rewrite/redo what already works, is marvelous, and is overly customizable, safe, and convenient…
Why not do something more important and valuable? Is that to just burn funding into void?

Since this “AI” events on Firefox, I reconsidered my stance for Firefox 4th time now, and installed another browser.
Likely as you, I did also donate montery, and 2 people I know did, too. I also donated to Thunderbird.

Why disturb, devalue, obliterate the history of all the contributors, too… This is… just freaking incredibly sorrowful… like someone tries to annihilate it… to darken, damage a miracle…

To be frank, I don’t know any case when Valve forced these rules, and even when someone reported such cases to Steam support directly. The response was just - “Thank you. We will check it out.”, and that’s it.

Self-published developers I am aware of have been considering these “rules” as fair suggestion from Valve who point out that it’s important to Valve stay afloat in competition, where many developers will just follow these getting the point, which is straightforward.

A few developers I know do find following this “rule” a respect towards the platform in general even.

I am sorry, but this is simply not true. The most people on Lemmy I met, I believe, do consider their privacy, federation/decentralized features and open-source state of the platform, fairly ad-free environment, and not to mention purely customizable clients to participate over the standard and open protocols involved. Meanwhile, they have functional accounts on Reddit, too.

Please do consider the undefined infinitely unique environments of infinitely magnificent people around the world…

Thank you very much! The red dot is likely smaller…
Though, I don’t appreciate nor agree with the bomb part! ^^
The work reminded me of the following paper:

Many unresolved legal questions over LLMs and copyright center on memorization: whether specific training data have been encoded in the model’s weights during training, and whether those memorized data can be extracted in the model’s outputs.

While many believe that LLMs do not memorize much of their training data, recent work shows that substantial amounts of copyrighted text can be extracted from open-weight models…

We investigate this question using a two-phase procedure: (1) an initial probe to test for extraction feasibility, which sometimes uses a Best-of-N (BoN) jailbreak, followed by (2) iterative continuation prompts to attempt to extract the book.

We evaluate our procedure on four production LLMs: Claude 3.7 Sonnet, GPT-4.1, Gemini 2.5 Pro, and Grok 3, and we measure extraction success with a score computed from a block-based approximation of longest common substring…

Taken together, our work highlights that, even with model- and system-level safeguards, extraction of (in-copyright) training data remains a risk for production LLMs…

If you want to actually realize the amount of possible misunderstanding in the current conversation and of what shell scriting is, please do consider joining #bash at Libera IRC. Please do also mention the word “throwaway” in the rooms! Since there’s literally no understanding on what you mean still, sorry. It does not feel like you have a significant enough understanding of the subjects raised.

For a very simple example, there are literally no documentation regarding certain cases you’ll encounter in Bash’s built-ins even, unless you actually encounter it or learn from Bash’s very source code, like read built-in. Not to mention shenanigans in shell logics for inter-process communication (IPC), file-descriptors, environment variables like PWD, exported functions’ BASH_FUNC_, pipes, etc.

I still don’t get what you mean, sorry. And why Bash and not another shell?
Why not Korn, Ash, Dash, Zsh, Fish, or anything REPL, including PHP, Perl, Node, Python etc.

Should we consider “throwaway” anything that supports interactive mode of your daily driver you chose in your default terminal prompt?
What does “throwaway” code means in the first place?

I am sorry, but I am not sure what tells you how Bash “was designed” or not. Perhaps you haven’t yet written anything serious in Bash…
Have you checked out Bash PitFalls at Wooledge, at least?
Bash, or the most shells, including Posix, or even Perl, are some of the most complex languages out there to make a mistake… since there’s no compiler to protect you from, and though legendary but readline may cause the whole terminal go flying, depending on the terminal/terminfo in process…

No, sorry. I absolutely disagree on your stance regarding “shell” for a “bugless” “huge deal” in “real cases”.

This is the great stance of the Zenimax developers and artists at official forums and chats for The Elder Scrolls Online ✨
The API for the title is exposed specifically for the addon support, and there are Communities like ESOUI where the administration verifies and monitors for fair and clean uploads, including non-obfusctaed Lua 5.1 scripts.

# Why is it asking me to donate when I download?

Authors spend countless hours developing, debugging, and supporting their addons. ESOUI supports these authors’ contributions to the community, and has provided them with a visible way to receive some form of benefit for these contributions. In no way should you feel pressured to donate to an author, however, should you wish to show your support for the time which they have invested, feel free to do so. If you do not wish to view these donation messages, see the “How can I disable the donation notice overlays when I download?” section below.

# How can I disable the donation notice overlays when I download?

In the lower right hand corner of the donation notice overlay is a link [Disable this notice]. Click that and your browser will be sent a cookie that tells our site to stop showing these donation notices. Any time you clear your browser cookies or use a different browser you will need to disable them again.

# I want to re-enable the donation notice overlays, how can I do that?

The simple way is to follow this link and it will re-enable them:
Re-Enable Donation Notices

Another way would be to delete the Esoui cookie named donation_overlay

There were cases like limiting certain functionality of addons for specific people, and it got an impact. Here, Zenimax also carefully officially approached the case and removed all “witch-hunt” posts (people in Matrix were complaining about it in 2025) leaving only those public reports with no addon author names but only addons stated, including LibText.

I have been maintaining a few addons, too. Here, I believe, it is one of the most fair, human, and effortful attitude from developers and artists for such ineffably magnificent as The Elder Scrolls… and I appreciate it…

It’s rather sad when such extensions don’t refer to their source code in descriptions.
Meanwhile, Google Chrome extensions are to be updated automatically.
Sorry, I won’t install it, since I have no trust in the source of it, and I care about my time to not re-check it on every update.

No, thank you. Sorry, never.

Not only that, but the huge probability of mistakes is just deafening. The last time I used LLM was in 2023 someone recommended for a task at paper work, and I got a literal headache in 10 minutes… Since then I never ever will use that sorrow for anything that is not for blackbox pentesting or experimental unverified data generated you may find in medicine or military isolated solutions.

That deafening feel that every single bit of output from that LLM or void machine may contain a mistake no soul is accountable for to ask about… A generated bit of someone’s work you just cannot verify since no source nor human is available… How would you trace the rationale that resulted in the output shown?

Faster? Is that so… Doesn’t verification of every output require even more time to test it and consider stable, to prove it is correct, to stay accountable for the knowledge and actions you perform as a developer, artist, researcher… human?

Your mind is to be trained to do a research, remember, and do not depend on someone’s service to a level of predominance/replacement.
Meanwhile, effort, passion, creativity, empathy, and love, in turn, you carry, supports in long-term.

You may not care now, though, but you do you. It’s your mind and memory you develop.

Thank you! You do you.

No. Absolutely no. You should code with your mind, and stay creative.

This is quite simple but genius:

1. Pass the instructions from external source;
2. Make instruction references include placeholders for actual data.

Thank you, but I do disagree. You cannot know the “result” of that LLM does include all the required context, and you won’t re-clarify it, since the output does already not contain the relevant, and in the end you miss the knowledge and waste the time, too.

How are you sure the output does include the relevant? Will you ever re-submit the question to an algorithm, without even knowing it is required re-submit it, since there’s even no indication for it? I.e. The LLM just did not include what you needed, did not include also important context surrounding it, and did not even tell you the authors to question further - no attribution, no accountability, no sense, sorry.
