I’m curious if you care to share more?

It’s great that you cherish that. Love that for you.

Right I love that comic! But I think the joke there is the expectation that a unix user would be able to do something as simple as opening a .tar.gz file, something that’s a much more common experience among nix users, but truth is many experienced users would still need to look up the exact syntax (me included). This meme is more like “look at how absurd of a command you can use in bash; can you tell the difference?” I dunno just doesn’t hit the same to me. Appreciate you sharing that xkcd though.

Yea I come from the generation of reddit departures that left because of API lockdown and elimination of third party apps. Nowadays a lot of people join Lemmy because they got banned off of reddit for reasons of varying respectability. I would say it’s diluting the concentration of tech intel, as you say. Oh well.

How the hell are you suggesting that a single group of 10,000 to 100,000 people can “use their manpower in one day to remove everyone close to Trump”?? Are you saying that the January insurrections were a good idea? The tough part you’re not considering is that to preserve (what’s left) of democracy we need to continue abiding by its principles as frustrating as it might sound. We need democracy intact after this is all over. One could almost infer that your comment seeks to invite violence.

That’s fair! I’ve always seen this community as an environment for advocating Linux use to Lemmings and much of the time the memes are comparative in nature to other options (ex the current to meme in this community about vendor lock in) so I’m just injecting my own historical view about this community. If it’s not comparative; then why is it really that funny? In that case it just reads like an exam in a CIS final.

I could imagine a command like this being used as part of a CI/CD script doing static analysis in a virtualized environment where the build is running in a *nix container. There’s more maintainable options as well (ie easier for an entire team of developers to understand / lower ‘bus factor’).

Lol someone is so mad about this they’re going around downvoting all my replies. Guess that’s easier than coming up with a thoughtful reply and actually conversing but whatever you do you boo

Lol why are you getting downvoted this isn’t even a hot take. You are 100% right regex is famously enigmatic even among experienced software engineers.

I some beef with this meme in that there really isn’t a way to simply do this in windows. If anything, it demonstrates the upper level of capability and function using a cli shell. People who are looking for a windows replacement would never need to understand this command or even use a pipe / regex as they were unlikely to have been doing this kind of thing with windows anyway.

Thank you; finally someone from Europe that sees Americans are struggling to fight. Over there you’re unlikely to see the whole picture about what’s going on. I understand that Europeans are mad and I don’t blame them, but I wish more Europeans understood that division is exactly what the powers want and your media is likely being manipulated as well, albeit to perhaps a much lesser degree, in order to sow that division.

Would it change your opinion in the long run if it ended up being proven that the 2024 election was stolen?
