Using Linux is often about ethics, it just doesn't make you a good person.

It has the "txt" extension, probably planted by windows

[–] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 4 months ago

Yeah windows update has overwritter the original truth.txt with spyware edition

Pedantic mode engaged: Last command silently fails because TRUTH.TXT is not truth.txt

[–] rrconkle@lemmy.zip 17 points 4 months ago

First command fails because -name is case-sensitive

If you want to be that pedantic, we wouldn't have even made it to panel 3 because VIM don't launch shit.

It's not the destination that matters, but the errors we pointed out along the way

[–] Zink@programming.dev 2 points 4 months ago

And also the pointers we errored out along the way.

[–] nxdefiant@startrek.website 2 points 4 months ago

sudo shred ./truth.txt

Sad cat noises.

[–] taanegl@lemmy.world 19 points 4 months ago (1 children)

haha but using a FLOSS system is... change my mind.

Recommended by dentists I heard.

only 9 out of 10 of them

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That sounds like something GNU would say.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Only if you're using a bastard Linux with most of the copyleft removed, like Android or Alpine.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Terry's TempleOS

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

Using Linux is often about ethics, it just doesn’t make you a good person.

Yeah, a user is passive. Now if you contribute to FLOSS projects, either with money or knowledge, then we can talk about your ethical superiority (I totally don't btw, can't afford the money, and don't have the knowledge)

I bought a fully spec'd System76 laptop. Does that count?

I also give some money to KDE from time to time, so I know that counts.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

I'll allow it.

sudo ./make_new_personality_trait.sh

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 6 points 4 months ago

sudo chown user exotic_pet

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Prolly shouldn't use special characters, such as +, in a dir name. Or maybe I've just revealed my ignorance of find syntax.

The lost+found directory is a special directory in Linux file systems created by fsck or mkfs where inodes are placed when they exist but aren’t in the file structure.

Well, I guess I need to rethink my life.
