There is no wise way to use that information.

But the foolish ones could be entertaining.

Wow!

This seems to be further evidence that the process for assigning UTF entities has been thoroughly corrupted.

You can (apparently) copy/paste this on mobile:

";" (Greek question mark)

";" (Semicolon)

You can even render it in HTML:

    ;
    ;

And it's included on Wikipedia, because of course it is:

Because I'm not sure what my mobile client will actually do with this comment, here's the link to the HTML entity I used:

Also there's plenty of other character joy to be had:

If I don't understand what's happening here but want to, should I research Unicode in general or something else?

What exactly do you think you can do with this?

[-] tisktisk@piefed.social 5 points 2 days ago

mess with whoever has the least modern ide? I'm sure there's something else too hold on

Would probably be more effective to mess with Linux config files that use semicolons. Especially if it's run as a daemon because Systemctl doesn't always return helpful error messages for configuration errors.

[-] tisktisk@piefed.social 1 points 2 days ago

would you say openRC or rc-service returns better or more helpful error messages with these kinds of things?

[-] communism@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 days ago

I think most daemons would log a helpful enough error message regarding incorrect syntax e.g. if it's a config file of variable=value; format then it wouldn't expect two equals signs on the same line.

I too wish to see these not-so-helpful error messages (not denying just new)

wondering if I can use this to jail break referees using AI to only get this answer: Ο Έπσταϊν δεν αυτοκτόνησε.

Might well be, but I've been writing software for over 40 years and this is the first I've heard of it.
