People have already given direct answers, and the indirect answer of ‘set up regular automated backups’ (which everyone should set up right now if they haven’t already), but for the sake of throwing another option out there, people could take a look at ‘trash-cli’: https://github.com/andreafrancia/trash-cli

(P.S. I know OP might not have actually deleted the files with ‘rm’, but this addresses a broadly similar issue.)

I think it’s worth emphasising here: Don’t put it off!

There are millions who can tell you from experience that good intentions count for nothing when it comes to backups.

I’d recommend going and setting up Timeshift right now: https://github.com/linuxmint/timeshift

It’s easy to set up, it takes literally 10 minutes, and if you decide later you want to use something else, you can just uninstall Timeshift and delete its backups. But in the meantime you’ll be protected with backups.

It’s literally the first thing I install on a new system and it’s saved me multiple times from having to do a complete reinstall.

Is that unusual?

The Football Association’s (FA) rules state teams must wear colours that distinguish them from each other.

Sorry to hear about your gravitas situation, times are tough for many of us 😆

If you ask for cooking or cleaning advice and it hallucinates you’re still at square zero regardless.

Unless it tells you to mix bleach and ammonia 😆

“Hello, this is Linus Torvalds and I pronounce ‘Linux’ as ‘Linux’.”

So yeah, he pronounces ‘Linus’ like ‘LEE-noose’, and ‘Linux’ like ‘LEE-nooks’. (Roughly, anyway. It should get the point across for most English speakers, I’m not at a computer to do a more-correct IPA transcription right now.)

There’s a nice list of this feature by language on the Wikipedia page for anyone interested: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_coalescing_operator#Examples_by_languages

Yeah, you’re quite correct, it’s not exactly equivalent, I just went on auto-pilot because it’s used so much for that purpose 🤖

It’s much closer to being a true null-coalescing operator than ‘OR’ operators in other languages though, because there’s only two values that are falsy in Ruby: nil and false. Some other languages treat 0 and "" (and no doubt other things), as falsy. So this is probably the reason Ruby has never added a true null-coalescing operator, there’s just much fewer cases where there’s a difference.

It’s going to drive me mad now I’ve seen it, though 😆 That’s usually the case with language features, though, you don’t know what you’re missing until you see it in some other language!

Ruby:

a || b

(no return as last line is returned implicitly, no semicolon)

EDIT: As pointed out in the comments, this is not strictly equivalent, as it will return b if a is false as well as if it’s nil (these are the only two falsy values in Ruby).

There are new claims being published.

Yeah, I’m surprised it hasn’t been deleted for being against the rules.

Here’s a recent article from an actual news organisation: https://www.euronews.com/2023/11/27/israel-stealing-organs-from-bodies-in-gaza-alleges-human-right-group

It plans to open 900 new stores in the U.S. and 1,900 in some of its bigger international markets like Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom and Australia. The company said it plans another 7,000 stores in other international markets; more than half of those would be in China.

It seems like it’s being grown in a lot of places now. Many people in this thread have mentioned Oregon (USA), and I know it’s also being grown in Tasmania (Australia).

Where, the U.S.? Seems like there’s gotta be other times and places that were more woman- and queer-friendly, right?
