Don't blindly run untrusted software, use Bubblewrap at the very least. Keep https://xkcd.com/538/ in mind.

Readout of Xi-Biden phone call On the evening of 28 July in c/worldnews@lemmy.ml

Thanks, I was confused because I thought "not supporting Taiwan independence" means being fine with China annexing Taiwan. In both versions of the readout, Biden wants to keep the status quo in Cross-Strait relations, but this is phrased differently in each readout.

It's good that China and the US keep up the communication. However, I would like to see an US version of this: Did Biden really “reiterated that the one-China policy of the US has not changed and will not change, and that the US does not support ‘Taiwan independence’.”?

#DuckDuckGone is trending on twitter after CEO tweets intentions to censor russian disinformation in c/technology@lemmy.ml

You guys are overreacting. DDG said they would only down-rank sites associated with Russian disinformation. It's normal for search engines to downrank low-quality sites such as SEO spam.

Bash one-liner challenge (cmdchallenge.com)
 

Solve exercises by writing Bash one-liners. The server actually runs your commands and checks whether the output is correct.

If you click on View Solutions, the correct commands other people entered are sorted by character count. So if you want, you can take the optional code golfing challenge.

I gained some knowledge from solving the challenges and looking at the solutions. Mostly you will use find and grep.

frece: Maintain a database sorted by frecency (frequency recency) (github.com)
 

If you are currently using z, autojump, fasd or similar, take a look at it. frece is the kind of tool that does one thing well and can be used in ways the authors didn’t think of.

In my case it replaced mlocate. See open-files-frece and frece-updatedb.

It is written in Rust and available in the AUR.
