spinachsalad··on Does Reddit have an astroturfing problem? What the data suggests
You're absolutely right! ;)

The language is so obfuscated that the crude draft would really be better than this. I've just realized that one of the telltale signs of LLMs is: inventing a new terminology like here - tail accounts, never giving a direct definition what it really is, and then going with it, like it's obvious.

Is this even true? I tried it in SQLite and there's a syntax error after first SELECT. It would work when "SELECT", "FROM" etc. are quoted, but that's not the same thing.

spinachsalad··on Podman Desktop: A Free OSS Alternative to Docker Desktop

  podman run --security-opt label=disable
https://github.com/containers/podman/blob/main/troubleshooti...

  Note: Labeling can be disabled for all containers by setting label=false in the containers.conf(5) file.
https://docs.podman.io/en/latest/markdown/podman-run.1.html#...

But more secure way would be to add ":z" or ":Z" to volume and podman will auto-relabel source dir. Finally you can use nuclear option: "--privileged". It's still more secure than docker's one because you are limited by your user's capabilities.

Well, this is a KDE variant of Fedora Silverblue, so there are some quirks. If you want normal Fedora but with KDE, there is a KDE spin available: https://spins.fedoraproject.org/kde/
