A couple of times, yes. I think the one I cried the most was the opera scene in Final Fantasy VI, it was just one of the most magnificent scenes in gaming.

I think “alpha” males appear naturally in some species, but not in wolves and definitely not in hominids, lol.

I don’t think there’s any reason to use rmdir unless you write (Ba)sh scripts, and you want to make sure that the directory is indeed empty. Just use rm -r.

Also note that you can use rmdir -p this/is/some/path to remove all nested directories including the parent (this here). But this will only work if there’s exactly one directory per parent directory, and the last directory doesn’t have any files (including directories). This might be helpful for some scripts.

rmdir -r isn’t a thing, because that would invalidate the reason this command exists.

That works, unless you mistype the file name, and delete some unrelated directory by mistake.

CTRL+L and clear command do two different things (at least when using Bash on Debian):

• CTRL+L scrolls the terminal output one screen so you don’t see your previous output, unless you scroll up;
• clear does indeed clear terminal output completely, and your previous command history is available only through the history command.

If you want CTRL+L to clear your screen completely you can add following to the .bashrc (or other file that is sourced when starting Bash, e.g. .bash_bindings):

bind -x '"\C-l":clear'

Note that it might not work if you use Vi mode inside Bash, but who does that.

alias emacs='fail; vim'

I really wish they used different name for that utility though, since it has nothing to do with ““Linux”” sudo.

It is like when they released a package manager called winget, which is not really a package manager, but more like a program/installer manager.

I had a cousin, and I installed I think Linux Mint on his netbook. Few months later my uncle said that I broke the hard drive in that netbook, and I was like “Huh? That’s not how any of this works”.

Gen Alpha are like 5 years old, so why would they?

I hope you’re joking.

What horrible pieces of shit.

But Rockstar Games acquired FiveM back in 2023, so I don’t see how is that relevant to piracy. In fact even if it wasn’t, there was nothing illegal about it as far as I am aware.

Well, I am from Poland, and I don’t know any friend who is overly obsessed about women breasts. But if you look into American media, especially from few decades ago when it was normal to oversexualize women, it’s all about that.

I haven’t been to Germany yet, so I don’t know what’s normal there. But I might just have overgeneralized my observation, yeah.

The thing with age verification is that I don’t think it’s a bad thing if done securely, but still it still makes me sad, because Internet will never be the same with it. In the end it will be only few big websites who can afford to care about Internet regulation.

Well, after all maybe it’s time to switch to Gemini protocol, they are not going to regulate that!

The obsession about breasts is mostly American thing. Here in Europe it’s all about ass.

As a long-term support release male, I also can’t relate.

It is.

You are supposed to go to sleep early. Then you will get your 8 hours of sleep. For some time I had to wake up as early as 4:30. As I had to drive my car to get to work, staying up late was just unthinkable to me.

Linux is great for two kinds of people:

• Ones who only use web browser, and maybe listen to music/watch movies on their computer (so probably majority of people);

• Ones who have time and energy to tinker with their computer, because doing anything that’s beyond the before-mentioned tasks will eventually make user do CLI stuff, to fix shit.

I mean, there are only two three realistic options (four if you are that one BSD user):

• Either you use Windows and let Microsoft spy on you (or rely on unbloating scripts which might eventually break your OS and not even block all Microsoft spyware in the first place);

• You buy overpriced Mac computer, that might also spy on you, who knows;

• You use Linux.
