Good. To be honest I sometimes copy/paste too, but there is a possible trick to hide characters in the copied text with an automatic return at the end so when you paste you immediately run something you don't intended. If I copy from some random shady blog I'd be more careful than from the official docker documentation I guess.
Ken Thompson, who invented UNIX first in assembly and then rewrote it in C, is now running a Debian derived OS as his main daily driver.
You probably did this, but for anyone reading, if you copy commands from the internet, look up what all the commands and flags do to be sure you understand it fully, and then type it in yourself in a terminal instead of copy/paste. If you get an instruction to curl | sh, split it into two steps, curl to get the script to a local file you can read, read it, then run if you know what it does. Do these things for anything you don't trust 100%.
Something similar happened in Sweden, the politicians said that the EU is forcing Sweden to store data about users. Like, "we don't want this... but we have no choice!" And then it turned out that what they did was actually against EU laws and Sweden was fined for doing what they did and ordered to stop.
"They" being some proponents starting with Ylva Johansson, but it's also true that they have never had a majority to actually make chat control happen. They keep trying, but "they" are not the EU as a whole.
I'm the opposite, I sometimes find :w or :wq written in text files I have edited with non-vi editors.
Found it in the classic The UNIX Programming Environment from 1984:
But then, this is for return, which technically isn't "enter", but nowadays they are sort of interpreted the same by programs?
Isn't ctrl-m the "enter" equivalent?
The list of allies is not that long at the moment.
subreddits are all part of reddit, there's a top part that can decide over all subreddits and make rules and ban people etc. Lemmy does not have a central point of authority. lemmy.world can only make rules and control lemmy.world, lemm.ee can only decide over lemm.ee. If you want your own rules, you can make your own instance and be as valid and part of lemmy as any other instance. The main point is: there is no level above this that controls all instances. Each instance is the top level of authority for that instance, and anyone can create an instance if they have the knowledge and resources.
Another aspect is that technically you could also interact with mastodon, peertube, etc, but that isn't seamless and there's no consensus if it's even a good idea to pursue that, but it's technically possible.
