@Gargron shoplifting is not cool, ok? 🤣

I'm going to write all my Rust in GPL3 because we need to unfuck free software licensing a little bit. Not that anything I ever write will matter in court but the more we MIT the more we get left behind.

POLL: would you use a dumb phone in the present day?

@vkc and what about the fourth option: "Yes, but only when I need to dramatically hang up on somebody"

Nothing does that better than a flip phone or a good old fashioned receiver

You are offered a job with twice the current industry pay, but you must deal with older Unix operating systems and legacy applications all day long. Would you take it?

@vkc I can really see why you'd feel that way

    Both Google and Apple claim that their mobile operating systems (iOS & Android) are the most secure, reliable, and privacy friendly. Who do you believe?

    trevdev ,

    @nixCraft Neither

    @vkc Sad for you. I wasn't happy to stop supporting them when I did.

    Trusting LLM? Think twice. I hope you learned lessons and deleted openai from your device 😉

    @nixCraft looks like somebody learned their lesson about running scripts from the Internet the hard way.

    @nixCraft@mastodon.social avatar nixCraft , to random

    Say a coworker puts the following in your bash startup file:

    --
    alias ed='echo "You are not a deity."'
    alias emacs='echo "You should really use vim."'
    alias nano='echo "You should really use an editor."'
    alias vi='echo "You should really use emacs."'
    alias vim=vi

    How do you temporarily remove a shell alias and call the emacs or vim without using unalias command?

    a) /path/to/vim or /path/to/emacs
    b) \vim or \emacs
    c) All of the above
    d) I have no clue. But this was funny.

    @nixCraft now do that too root too and you've got at least 10 minutes of fun watching your friend struggle

    @nixCraft I superseded Unix time.

    Ten-character or command? Pshaw! Real Linux and Unix wizards summon their magic spells by mashing the up arrow a thousand times. It's the ancient ritual of command-line mastery. Lmao.

    @nixCraft doesn't matter how well you know a command if you can't spell it

    @nixCraft@mastodon.social avatar nixCraft , (edited ) to random

    Which , , or command do you use to list files?

    @nixCraft ls -l or you're working too hard
