Is it a universally accepted fact that this emoji:🙂 is considered passive-aggressive, cynical, sarcastic and doesn't imply a smile at all?#emoji

@gabek @pyre35 Tech people are notoriously distrusting of tech. Not knowing if a 3-letter agent is waiting to "meet you" cause you use Linux and Matrix could be why 😆

What is the easiest method to #download #youtube videos that doesn't require a basic user to know how to install youtube-dl nor use the command-line?I searched a bit and it looks like downloading content from youtube is enabling the spread of malware via 3rd-party download sites and browser extensions.

Questions to people learning #languages :1) Can the meaning of a word ever be inferred based on the context of the sentence or other context?2) If inference can be done, what level of understanding is required? Say for example you know 85% of the other words in a corpus text, can you infer the meanings of the other 15% of words?#language #languagelearning

#frontend #javascript #wix Can someone explain to me how the MP3 URL is being hidden on this Wix website:https://www.themadinanway.org/courses?I usually use Inspect (#Firefox ) to find the URL, but now I need to monitor the Network tab to see the URL, which makes it a bit of a hassle.

@17 Is it streaming the MP3 via Javascript too or is it fetching the entire MP3 and then using the player to stream it?

@brandon @17 My knowledge is very limited but I am guessing it is a method Wix is using to conceal the URL and prevent direct-download, the same way many tech companies obfuscate media/content to prevent downloading and scraping.Any recommendations for a #firefox #plugin will also be welcome, but all the "audio downloader" ones seem to have bad reviews and AFAIK, most are not Open Source either (can a plugin even be closed-source on Firefox???)

@gme > policies, standards, guidelines, and practices.How many of these are just box-ticking?The only risks I can think of are attacks during migration, squatting & attacking the CI/CD pipeline (which already happens regardless)

@OrbitalDev It says it is free for up to 50 users. Does this mean 50 end users or 50 users with access to the CloudFlare configs?

@bitwarden I can make my password length 9999 chars long but if the folks looking after the servers don't do a good job, my account can still get pwned!

@fatboy I wonder if an activist investor attempts to wrangle WhatsApp out of Meta, as WA is possibly under-valued, being the de-facto communication platform for a large part of the rest of the world (minus China).

@realcaseyrollins Wrong religion. Hindus view cows as sacred.

@strypey Gender-based interactions for Muslims are (to be honest) complicated.There is an ongoing academic dispute between scholars regarding this.What isn't mentioned is how culture affected this matter. South Asians have customs that a lot more stricter (or were so in the past) that included gender-interactions.I know I'm not answering your question, but pointing out that it is complicated means that we don't have a universal principle about it.As a stranger, ignoring may be best.
