Yeah, while these questions have mostly been too ridiculous to be considered, repeatedly asking what precisely warrants a ban sounds like you’re looking to walk that line.
Just don’t walk the line and don’t consider your wildest Reddit experiences as that line.

In particular, there is no point in asking these questions, because as we already elaborated on the first post, no one knows what will get you banned from individual communities or instances, since there’s a lot of different humans involved in the decisions.
But the community is smaller, so if you’re posting good content and interacting with people in a friendly way, the moderators will likely know you and gladly give you the benefit of the doubt.

Ah, so your point was that we take B12 supplements for the nutrition, not just for taste pleasure. I genuinely had not understood that.

I am aware of B12 being recommended to supplement. Personally, I don’t worry much about it, because my oat milk is fortified, my vegan cheese is fortified, even the multi-vitamin juice in my fridge has B12 in it. And the supplements are dirt-cheap, too. But yeah, sure, people in different regions might not have it as easy in this regard.

The thing is, though, if we disregard those people, and also disregard all the meat-eaters who genuinely care about their nutrition and genuinely believe that they can only get it from meat, i.e. we let those eat their meat,
then that still leaves a huge number of people, who would significantly improve their diet, if they significantly reduced their meat intake (or cut it out and replaced it with appropriate vegetables + supplements/fortified stuff).

Nutritional experts have been screaming for decades that people should eat their veggies. Because those contain a massive range of vitamins, which the average person is not getting enough of. And if you’re eating enough veggies, then you need to cut back meat intake far below the average or do a lot of sport, otherwise you’re just consuming too much food.

Ultimately, why the nutrition argument is rarely taken serious, is because the average meat-eater is so far removed from eating healthy that they probably don’t even know what B12 is.

I guess, if you want the sensitive version of the strawman argument which you just came up with, that apparently the hivemind of vegans says that omnivores eat meat only for taste pleasure, then as a certified Vegan™ and part of the hivemind, I am glad to tell you:
Not all omnivores eat meat only for taste pleasure. But a significant portion of those living in developed countries could easily go vegan without sacrificing nutritional quality and rather even improving it.

Yeah, I hate that, too. I just looked it up: ss is “socket statistics”.

I’m currently in a software development project which was handed over to a different department with little software development expertise, and fucking hell, I hear this so often.

Can’t you just run the tests against against a database like normal? Why do you need to automate the setup of this database? (I do not know what “normal” means, they did not elaborate.)
Can’t you just switch over all the code to go directly against the database rather than also supporting in-memory.
And then five minutes later: Can’t you just hook up the database connection where we need it and use in-memory for the rest?

Like, I’m trying to appreciate the critical questions, because hey, maybe there is something I’m missing. But always this “just”, and them being dissatisfied when you tell them it doesn’t make sense or would be more work, that’s what kills me.

At one point, I had to explain to my dad that we’re paying for internet access, not for all servers to be available and sufficiently fast. He was not happy about that.

If you can find TVP in the shops, in a steak shape, that stuff is ridiculous. You just cook them in a vegetable broth, press out the water and then sear them like a steak in a pan. The Maillard reaction turns the protein into that typical seared meat taste and it’s similarly chewy, too.

Granted I have been vegetarian for a bit too long to really judge it, but I did also immediately gag on my first bite, because my body was convinced I was biting into meat.

Do you derive taste pleasure from B12 supplements?

The store stocks them with raspberry and mango taste, so yes? I have no idea what your point is, though.

I thought, this was about server wait times in online games…

It’s only Chrome and its derivatives that don’t do this.

As a German, it’s always fun to use the ss command. The SS was the organization that did most of the genocide under Hitler. That’s a bad name around here, so people are always surprised that a command is named that.

But what’s even more fun is that we can memorize the standard set of flags as -tulpn, because it’s basically spelled+pronounced like “Tulpen”, which is German for tulips.

So, occasionally I get to tell people to type “SS-tulips” into their terminal and it always confuses the hell out of them. 🙃

I believe, you’re missing a comma there. Probably don’t want people eating people. 🙃

I was gonna say the football thing for the global South ended two weeks ago. Then I realized that wasn’t the World cup, but rather just the European championship. I know my football stuff. 👍

Oh yeah, but I’m talking about the internal Git state just genuinely being broken, for example: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14448326/git-commit-stopped-working-error-building-trees
Ultimately, if you spend half an hour debugging that, it just starts being a waste of time compared to cloning anew.

As for how to merge, yes, one should learn that. The problem is that the complexity of the code changes adds on top of whatever insecurities you might still have with Git.
I did put “inexperienced” in braces there, because even as an experienced dev, merges are sometimes just not worth doing. In that case, you could just checkout the branch a second time, but well, still not that different.

I do write it as rm -rf, but then my brain always continues singing The Lion Sleeps Tonight…

It does sometimes happen that something in there just breaks and isn’t easy to recover. But it can also be a matter of (inexperienced) devs just deciding, fuck it, I won’t try to merge it, I’ll just copy my changes elsewhere and throw away the repo.

Are those which generate images also Large Language Models? I have been wondering what the technical term for them is…

Trump walked on stage to the song Hold On, I’m Coming.

I take it the song isn’t named after a porn quote, is it? I wouldn’t put it past Trump…

What the heck… 😅

You should look into how the webpage is built. If it’s a static HTML webpage pre-rendered on the server, then you would have to scrape the HTML to extract the info.

However, many more “modern” webpages use client-side JavaScript to separately request the actual data from the web server through a REST/HTTP API. This kind of API is not possible to fully restrict, unless they want to require all users to log in for viewing the webpage.
And yeah, if it’s built like that, then you’d want to make use of that REST API. You do not need to use JavaScript to call it. Using any HTTP client library in any programming language, or even just curl, should work just as much.

To see, if it’s built like that, open the “Network” tab in the Developer Tools of your browser and refresh the webpage.
If it just loads a bunch of HTML, CSS and image files, then it’s the static webpage kind. If it sends/receives messages with JSON in the body to URLs without a file-type, then it’s likely the REST-API-kind.
