Let me Google ChatGPT that for you.

We don’t come to social media for AI copypasta. People who want spicy autocomplete answers can prompt LLMs themselves.

1. Governments have controlled money for millennia, and governments’ central banks have for over a century. There’s nothing new going on there.
2. You’re conflating digital currency and cryptocurrency. All cryptocurrencies are digital, but not all digital currencies are crypto.

You say that as if the majority of currency transactions worldwide weren’t already digital.

but what abt my 386SX tho

⌘C and ⌘V work in the native MacOS terminal app as well.

CTRL+M is like pressing ENTER. Kernigan & Pike, 1984: UNIX Programming Enviornment

RETURN is an example of a control character — an invisible character that controls some aspect of input and output on the terminal. On any reasonable terminal, RETURN has a key of its own, but most control characters do not. Instead, they must be typed by holding down the CONTROL key, sometimes called CTL or CNTL or CTRL, then pressing another key, usually a letter. For example, RETURN may be typed by pressing the RETURN key or, equivalently, holding down the CONTROL key and typing an ‘m’. RETURN might therefore be called a control-m, which we will write as ctl-m.

Best practice is not to use raw credentials on the command line because it exposes them in process listings and shell history files.

A bit of a tangent, but I almost never use xargs in the shell anymore, and instead use “while read line ; do *SOMETHING* $line ; done”, because xargs doesn’t have access to the shell’s local variables, aliases, or functions.

For instance, a change to a network interface config on Windows usually takes effect when you hit the “OK” button. Linux requires toggling the interface for that change to take effect.

That’s not a Linux thing so much as a your particular Linux distribution thing. Different Linuxes can have vastly different user interfaces for various things. Some distributions even go out of their way to be more similar to Windows.

Yes, because that is origin of the term. It came from Japanese motorcycle & car customization.

Creating a backronym for a term doesn’t absolve it of its racist roots.

Please report posts & comments that make use of the term on lemmy.ml; we remove them.

Yeah GNU’s info pages are often more detailed than the man pages.

I doubt anyone has ever regretted spending some time familiarizing themselves with the POSIX, util-linux, and GNU coreutils commands. You can do a lot by just piping these (mostly) simple tools together.

That’s because Macs generally use BSD-based command line tools instead of GNU ones. You have to do a lot of Homebrew jiggery-pokery to approximate a GNU environment. Know Your Tools: Linux (GNU) vs. Mac (BSD) Command Line Utilities
