@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?

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

    @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 😉

    Screenshot of a Reddit post on r/ableton where a user lost a year's worth of Ableton projects. They ran a terminal script provided by ChatGPT to organize files, which included the command rm -rf "$ROOT/Projects" "$ROOT/Sessions" "$ROOT/Audio Files", accidentally deleting everything without a backup.

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

    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

    what in the world? lol. That is a Faraday cage, isn't it?

    A silver mesh-sided box labeled "Large Router Guard EMP Shield" sits on a wooden floor. The box is rectangular with a solid metal base. Inside, a smaller black color device with glowing green and blue lights is visible. It is probably a router or a small server.

    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?
