TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Namecertain 2-parters are counted as 1
this explains the total of 170
a handful are credit only
as a main cast member he is in the opening credit sequence of every episode, which explains IMDB saying he’s in every one.
but how/where did you arrive at the number 163? i only arrived there by seeing that Memory Alpha lists 160 character appearances (which I see now does single-count Emissary and presumably two other two-part episodes) and then checking the mirror universe episodes to see if there were any without the Chief in them (and finding two) and then remembering Far Beyond the Stars.
anyway i guess either of the numbers in the meme could be correct, but not both at once: 163 is correct if you double-count three two-part episodes, and 170 is correct if you single-count them. 🤓
(and the numbers in my first comment are inconsistent in the same way.)
Fucking Chief Miles O’Brien appeared in 163 of 170 episodes, Dude
For one thing, there were 173 episodes of DS9.
And while Colm Meaney does appear in 163 of them, he is only portraying Chief Miles O’Brien in 160 episodes: in Far Beyond the Stars he portrays Albert Macklin and in The Emperor’s New Cloak and Through the Looking Glass he only portrays mirror universe Miles O’Brien.
I am curious where the creator of this meme arrived at the number 163, since IMDB incorrectly says that Meaney is in all 173 episodes.
ps:
good meme nonetheless

Why is the pipe required tho?
it isn’t really. what is required for it to consume memory very rapidly is for each invocation of the function to call itself more than once. using the pipe is just one way to do this; it would work just as well if the pipe character were replaced with an &

:(){ :|:& };: is a classic fork bomb for bash (and other shells which allow : as a function name).
running it will likely cause your system to need to be rebooted.
I didn’t say that they should be thrown away?
Sorry that I interpreted your comment as suggesting that anything less than a Pixel is not worth trying to improve the security of.
What’s with the hostility?
No hostility intended. But I still don’t understand why you think that omitting Graphene’s Pixel-requiring hardening features would cause Graphite to be less secure than other Android distributions which also lack those features.
Are there any other options with a feature set comparable to GrapheneOS(-minus-pixel-only-hardening-features) ?
Should the world just throw away the billions of non-Pixel devices in use today?
And/or should everyone just give up on improving security at all for the vast majority of phone users who cannot afford Pixels, since they can’t ever be as secure as a Pixel?
those benefits rely on the Pixel’s hardware
Doesn’t GrapheneOS have a lot of benefits besides the 3 pixel-requiring hardening features which are removed in Graphite (and the 3 others which are disabled by default but can be re-enabled on some devices)?
I’m not disputing that those hardening features are worthwhile! Pixels with Graphene are obviously much more difficult to exploit than phones without those features.
But there are billions of non-Pixel phones in the world which aren’t about to be thrown away, and the vast majority of phone users absolutely cannot afford a Pixel. GraphiteOS (if it actually works?) seems to me like it is probably a major improvement over the other options available for them.
At that point I’d just use something like Lineage
My impression is that Graphene-without-the-features-requiring-Pixel-hardware would still be a much more secure operating system than Lineage (or the other options available).
Reading that FAQ I get the impression that it should/could run on a very large number of devices, but maybe there is some caveat I’m missing? 🤔
so that many non-pixel devices can have an OS with most of the benefits of GrapheneOS?

Fuck AIAnyone can use copilot to open PRs under their own name on any repo which accepts PRs, so you can’t easily know copilot is involved without looking.
In the case of the first hit in the mastodon post’s linked search query, it looks like a human actually opened the PR last year and subsequently requested a review from copilot (as well as from two humans); after some back and forth nothing else happened until 3 days ago when copilot updated the issue to tell them: you need to pick a “Usage billed to” option in your Copilot settings.
And then, apparently, three minutes after they updated their billing information copilot pushed some more commits and helpfully edited the human’s original PR description to insert the advertisement.
(Obviously this is yet another reason to move off of github, but (1) that is much easier said than done for many projects, and (2) once it’s normalized on github, “coding assistants” will also be spamming in other venues soon enough if they aren’t already.)
It’s easy to avoid if you don’t use AI?
By if you don’t use AI do you mean if you don’t accept pull requests on your projects and also don’t read pull requests submitted to other projects you might care about?
Isn’t this a Raycast ad, rather than a Copilot ad?
It seems most likely that it is copilot inserting it, because the other screenshots in the post show similar ads for its integrations with various other services too
linuxmemesI’m a little hesitant to use that link, wasn’t there recently something about a lot of archive websites using visitors for ddos attacks or something similar?
The archive site recently caught doing ddos attacks was archive.today (which also uses the domains .fo, .is, .li, .md, .ph, and .vn). This is a site run by a pseudonymous individual since 2012. Here is the wikipedia article about them.
The link in my comment above is to archive.org, which is a very reputable organization called The Internet Archive which has been operating since 1996 and definitely would not use its visitors’ browsers for ddos attacks. Here is the wikipedia article about them.
Know the difference :)
Also, btw, while the latter is older, larger, and vastly more credible, the former uses different archiving techniques which enable them to have archives of many things which the latter doesn’t. So, it does continue to also be a useful tool, albeit one of last resort.

What actually is the 10-point proposal from Iran which Trump said is a "workable basis on which to negotiate"?
The US must fundamentally commit to guaranteeing non-aggression.
