Yeah I agree. Although recently I’ve become partial to toml… In the end I’ll use what’s common in the ecosystem I’m developing in

Nothing too major about how it’s usually used, but the yaml spec does allow arbitrary code execution when parsing a file and relies on the parser to have that feature disabled: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/YAML#Security

That’s why for python, yaml.save_load() is a thing. That’s fine for your local config files and may even be a feature for you, but it shouldn’t be used to exchange information between services.

If you do /* you don’t need that flag, as / will technically not get touched. Just everything in it

Don’t rely on VPNs as your (only) security, if you are at actual risk from your online activities. For piracy, it does not matter. Pick one you like

I honestly don’t mind many splintered parties in parliament. There’s always gonna be assholes whose only aim is to sabotage and fling shit, but they’re just going to join a bigger party under our system. Our (recently fired) finance Minister was like this, constantly publicly criticizing the government that he was a part of, and which he was actively blocking from getting shit done.

I actually think it would be better if there were no rigid factions either. But then again, my opinion of representative democracy isn’t too great anyways

It’s one of my favorite anime, but the characters can be really annoying sometimes. Still, I found it to be less annoying later on, as the stakes got raised and things start to go to shit

Coming from Germany, I wish! We have a 5% cutoff for representation, which means there’s realistically 4-5 parties that get into parliament, and all of them suck. We got the liberal Greens that sold their morals long ago, the social democrats whose greatest strength is blocking, delaying and betraying leftist causes, the christian democrats that have been copying Trump rhetoric for years, and finally the outright fascists. I’d love to be able to vote for some fringe leftist party knowing I’ll not waste my vote

Glory to the saboteurs!

I don’t buy it

Man, that’s brutal. The way he keeps on walking for a few steps before collapsing…

I just want Russia to get out of Ukraine and this senseless slaughter to end

Thanks for the reply! I missed most of the drama, but yes, it was a mess and I can see why you’d jump to conclusions. I still think that rule 5 should either be removed/reworded or at least supplemented by some guidelines as to what constitutes ‘politics’, but I realize now this is neither the time nor the place to discuss that with the nuance it deserves. For now, I’m content with some very non-credible coping strategies for all the clusterfucks happening in the world. Thanks for the work you’re doing for the community c:

I think both @[email protected] and me very much care about this community and about how to improve it. Since this is a meta post by a mod, talking about the rules, I thought it’s the best place to talk about what we think about certain aspects of the rules, and how they could be abused. This is not an attempt to start up drama or to denigrate any work done by moderators, but an attempt at conversation.

I’m not a fan that that is met with the suggestion to go somewhere else and create a new community. People have grown attached to this community, and I don’t think anyone wins in this kind of all or nothing stance.

My apologies if a conversation about rules and their interpretation is not wanted here, but is there any other place to talk about meta topics like this?

It’s also a legitimate question: what constitutes politics in the eyes of the moderators? That question cannot be answered without bringing one’s own politics into the discussion. Is queer people existing political? Bigots would claim so. Besides, war is just politics though violent means, and satire should also always be political. So being strict on the “no politics” rule is next to impossible, and selective enforcement is often worse than none at all.

I’m gonna second French and Arabic for sheer amount of speakers (native or as secondary language), as well as geographic variety.

Other than that, I would’ve said that Russian would serve you well in the post-soviet sphere of influence, but that changed recently for obvious reasons. You very likely don’t want to travel to Russia, and her neighbors don’t look to kindly on Russian either, now. Will still do in a pinch

okay, and one joke answer: Japanese, you’ll find weebs to talk to in every country
